Albion captain Chris Brunt today handed predecessor Scott Carson a vote of confidence as the Baggies continued their keeper hunt.
Boss Roy Hodgson is targeting a new No.1 in the summer as doubts persist over Carson's long-term Hawthorns future.
But, with the current Albion shot-stopper currently with England preparing for Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley, Brunt has paid tribute to his friend, whom he replaced as skipper when Carson was dropped by Roberto Di Matteo in January.
"Scott's done well for us again this season," said Brunt.
"He came in for some stick around Christmas time but since then he has done very well. Scott is still only 25 and, potentially, he is as good as any goalkeeper I've played with or seen."
