Tony Pulis is refusing to get carried away with the form of his side after they moved up to 13th in the table following last weekend's victory at the Hawthorns.
Speaking to the press ahead of tomorrow's live televised early evening clash against Newcastle, the City boss said he is expecting more of the same as he looks to steer the club to top flight safety.
"You can't dwell in football, and particularly not in this division, you are always thinking about your next match.
"When I was travelling back in the car from West Brom I was on the phone asking Lindsay Parsons about the game against Chelsea, and what they were and weren't doing in that game.
"Beating West Brom was fantastic for us as, like I have already said, it got that monkey off our back, but now we are 110% focussed on Newcastle United because that will be another very tough game for us.
"They are a team down where they shouldn't be and have plenty of very, very good players, and we mustn't forget that.
"We are confident as we are on a good run of results, but that will count for nothing when the whistle goes tomorrow."
The Welshman is also calling on in form James Beattie to keep up his superb run of form in front of goal as the season hits its final stretch.
"People talk about Beats getting six in 10 but it is important he gets us some more goals in the seven games left to play.
"I'm not concentrating on him now, but waiting until the end of the season to see if he deserves a pat on the back.
"If he gets another few goals and gets to 10 for the season that would be absolutely massive for him and this football club."
