Tony Puils says Albion's critics were wrong to question the mentality of his squad after watching the Baggies breeze past Arsenal 3-1 at The Hawthorns.
Sections of the media had argued that Pulis side had downed tools after reaching 40 points. Back-to-back defeats against Crysal Palace and Everton followed.
But Albion bounced back in style against the Gunners with Craig Dawson scoring from corners either side of half time. Hal Robson-Kanu then stepped off the bench to score Albion's third.
"I think everybody's got to calm down. You're always going to have runs of games where you don't pick points up. You raise the expectation and people get carried away," said Pulis.
"The lads have worked so hard in all the games. I thought we'd never play as well as what we have played. They've never given anything but their best.
"The lads were a bit disappointed with two defeats. They've done fantastically well. They've carried on working so hard together as a group. I thought on the counter we always looked dangerous.
"We've got 43 points. We know where we are as a football club. We're not getting carried away.
"We'll do the best we possibly can. If we win games, brilliant. If we don't we've still got a group of honest players who give everything."
How many points can Albion get until the end of the season? Have your say at Baggies Banter.
