West Brom manager Eric Ramsay said there were positives to take from his side's FA Cup exit at Norwich City.
The Baggies head coach told BBC Radio WM: "I'm really disappointed to lose the game, particularly given how the second half went, and how we felt that we grew into the game and played with some real authority for a large portion of that second half.
"I felt strongly before the game that, irrespective of the outcome, we had to come out feeling positive across a number of other elements and there were strong performances from the young players Ollie [Bostock], Harry [Whitwell] and from Hindo [Mustapha] and we had to feel that we were nudging players towards 90 minutes fit.
"The guys that haven't been able to hit 90 minutes all that regularly so far this season. The fact we've done that across the board is pleasing.
"We weren't happy with the first-half performance. There wasn't the level of aggression and competitiveness that we would have expected and we lacked control on the ball. That was entirely different in the second half."
