Paul Scharner claims West Brom's recent revival is down to Roy Hodgson restoring belief to the camp.
The Baggies remain firmly locked in a Premier League relegation battle, but have cause for optimism after finding form of late.
Just one defeat has been suffered in their last six top flight fixtures, suggesting they have the stomach for a fight.
With only two points keeping them clear of the drop zone they cannot afford to relax, but they appear to be heading in the right direction.
A 3-1 derby day victory over local rivals Birmingham on Saturday has helped to lift spirits even further, with Hodgson's arrival as manager having the desired effect on results.
The experienced coach was appointed as Roberto Di Matteo's successor in February and has set about altering the mindset of a squad that was teetering on the brink of collapse prior to his arrival.
On Hodgson's impact, Scharner said: "Since he took over we have all spent half a day each week going over things.
"Everyone knows the systems, tactics and what their job is.
"Roy has brought some belief back to the team."
