West Bromwich Albion boss Slaven Bilic has provided further reflections on his side’s draw with Nottingham Forest.
The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw with the Baggies in their Sky Bet Championship clash last week.
Sheffield United loanee Callum Robinson opened the scoring for the Baggies, before a Kyle Bartley own goal just prior to half time gifted Forest a deserved equaliser.
Tobias Figueiredo then handed Albion a lead with an own goal of his own, but there was more drama as Matty Cash bagged a late equaliser for Sabri Lamouchi’s side at The Hawthorns.
Bilic recently said that the Reds have it easier than other clubs in the promotion race, and claims are always “dreaming about something”.
Now the Baggies boss has been talking about last Saturday’s match even further, and reckons that the performance from his side was the best they’ve shown this season.
Asked if the performance against Forest was their best of the campaign, Bilic told Birmingham Live: “Considering the opponent, considering that it was a ‘derby’ game with everything else that was at stake, definitely.
He added: “I watched that game a couple more times, analysing it, and we were proper good.
“We limited them on a few situations, they had one shot on target, they didn’t have too many shots at all, or situations that worried us.
“To cut a long story short, we were doing good at limiting their attack, we were solid. We were good on the ball, we were threatening them.
“We were taking the ball off them, and it never looked like - to me, they’re a good team of course - in that game that they were ever in charge - not when it was 0-0, or 1-0 for us, or 1-1, or 2-1. Not even when it was 2-2, in those few minutes.
“It was always us more likely to create and score. Unfortunately we didn’t, we had enough chances, and that’s it.”
