ISHMAEL Miller has hailed the hat-trick of Coca-Cola Championship wins that has seen Albion surge eight points clear in second place - but has warned his team-mates not to take their foot off the gas.
The big striker came off the bench in the 65th minute last night to help seal an impressive 2-0 win at promotion rivals Swansea with his second goal in as many games.
The Liberty Stadium victory followed hot on the heels of back-to-back home wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool as the Baggies piled the pressure on nearest rivals Nottingham Forest, whom they have a superior goal difference over.
The result also lifted Roberto Di Matteo's men within a point of leaders Newcastle, who play the first of their two games in hand at home to Scunthorpe tonight.
Miller said: "It's a tough task for Forest - but we're not really watching them.
"We got a great three points and gave ourselves a bit of a cushion and hopefully we can use that now to push on.
"We just want to win this league and hopefully we can do that.
"We've got nine games left and we just want to win all nine.
"We know if we do that we will definitely be in the Premier League next season so that's what we're focussing on.
"We don't want to be thinking 'we'll win the next two' then take our foot off the pedal.
"We've got nine games left and let's try to win them all.
"Winning the last three games is great credit to the players, credit to the squad and credit to the head coach and everyone around the squad.
"There has been a lot of pressure on the last three games and we've come out of them with nine points, which is great for us."
It was only Miller's fourth appearance since returning from a month-long ankle injury lay-off.
And he is delighted to be back among the goals and making a valuable contribution to Albion's promotion push.
"It's just great to be back and be fully fit and I know if that's the case I will always score goals," he added.
"I know I will always get chances in this team and it's just good to be back.
"I had a glance at the linesman to see if I was onside and then I was about to check back inside.
"But I decided to take it round the defender and I thought I had gone too far but then I just checked back in and put it in, which was great.
"I didn't think I was offside because I felt I timed my run right, and luckily the linesman thought the same thing.
"It was nice to get another goal but even nicer to get another three points at a tough place to play."
Miller also praised the contribution of fellow sub Giles Barnes, who won the penalty that led to Graham Dorrans' 79th-minute opener.
"It looked to me like one of those that could have gone either way, but luckily it went in our favour," he said.
"I spoke to Giles after the game and he said the defender definitely touched him so it's a penalty.
"Giles came on and did brilliantly again and it's great to have a player like that in the squad.
"He gives us that extra dimension."
