West Brom boss Pulis warns players: We still have a lot of work to do

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis says FA Cup success must not distract from their survival battle.

A stunning 4-0 demolition of fellow Premier League outfit West Ham United continued the revival under the Head Coach and booked Albion a place in the quarter-finals.

Pulis remarked: "We've still got a lot of work to do.

"Yes, there were things that pleased me in this performance but there are also plenty of things driving me mad still!

"This is a different team with different qualities to the one I worked with at Palace and at Stoke. At Palace, for example, we had pace down the sides but we don't have that here. We have other qualities such as trickery and we've got 'Bobby' and Berahino working as a partnership. But it is all about adapting to the strengths we have and we are still working on that.

"We've got as very tough game coming up next weekend at Sunderland and we've got to bring everybody down to earth to make sure they are focused on that and that alone."
