Albion boss Dean Wilkins has hailed Nicky Forster and Glenn Murray as one of the best strike forces in League One.

Forster and Murray were both on target in Tuesday's 2-1 win at play-off rivals Walsall.

They now have 15 goals apiece this season, including the ten Murray scored for Rochdale before his £300,000 move in January.

Wilkins said: "I think we have got one of the best strike pairs in the division, one of the most threatening.

"I have been on to them both a little bit, because defensively there are little things I want them to do which they can still do better, but when we have got possession and play with a bit of quality they are a really potent pair.

"If you have got a pair that score 20 goals a season you would expect to be quite successful."

Murray's clinching header in the second half, following Forster's first-half equaliser, lifted his tally to five in nine starts for Albion.

He said: "I did not really have any expectations. I was trying not to put pressure on myself because it was quite a big move for this level.

"I don't think I have yet produced as much as I am capable of but I am getting there. In recent weeks I have missed a few chances but five in nine is a good record and a record I am happy with."

Wilkins was also pleased with Dean Cox's comeback after his absence from the previous two matches on disciplinary grounds. He said: "He got some telling balls in the box and did a good job for us.

"To break a little bit of a hoodoo in terms of beating sides in the top six gives us a massive boost going into Saturday's game at home to Doncaster."
