Foster wants West Brom to make 2013 special

Goalkeeper Ben Foster today challenged West Brom to make 2013 special as they prepared to kick off the New Year against Fulham.

The Baggies will take on the out-of-form Cottagers at lunchtime tomorrow with Foster insisting Steve Clarke's men are confident despite a heavy defeat at Craven Cottage in September.

And Foster insisted Albion will not ease up after completing their 2012 fixtures on 33 points with 18 Premier League games still to play.

He said: "The gaffer is very big on not resting on our laurels. I know we've got 33 points and we probably look safe for the season, but that's not what we're aiming to do.

"We are trying to replicate the first half of the season and if we can do something like that you never know what can happen.

"We will just keep doing what we're doing. The gaffer is very good at not letting us get carried away. We will just go about our business and see what's what."

The Baggies' 3-0 defeat at Fulham was their first loss under Clarke, but Foster said:?"It's a good few months down the line now.

"We have adjusted a lot more, so they will be coming to our place fearing us much more than we are fearing them."
