Paul Brooker has admitted Albion's long stay at the bottom of the table "zapped us completely".
The former Fulham winger is much more optimistic now that Sheffield Wednesday have the stigma of looking up at the rest.
"We have showed against decent teams that we can play," Brooker said.
"With our team spirit and individuals like Bobby (Zamora) I'm sure we will climb away."
