Ben Foster expects a tough week at work

The 32-year-old is anticipating a tough week for those members of the squad not travelling away for the international break, as boss Tony Pulis looks to spark a response following Saturday's 1-0 defeat.

Robbie Brady scored the only goal for the visitors in a low-key affair to end the Baggies eight-game unbeaten run. Pulis was later at a loss to explain his side's sluggish display and Foster thinks the head coach will not let his players forget about it in a hurry.

"We're disappointed with the performance, but also the result," he said. "And the gaffer won't let us forget about that and will have us back in training to put that right. He will want us to put it right."

Foster went on: "We had more possession but it was a nothing game. It was a case of trying to nick a goal.

"Their goal summed the game up. It was a stumble and they tucked it away but fair play to them it was a big three points.

"The frustrating thing is that training has been great, the best we've had all season – the lads have been on fire – and we thought we looked good for three points but football doesn't work like that.

"It's the first time we've lost at home this year and the gaffer let us know about that."
