First published in Albion by Andy Naylor, Chief sports reporter
David Stockdale has played down his penalty-saving role in Albion's 4-3 win over Birmingham.
The keeper denied Paul Caddis with a crucial stop on the stroke of half-time with the score at 1-1.
Stockdale told The Argus: "I actually thought it was in. It was behind me. We got three points, that's the main thing.
"It was nice to save the penalty, it's always nice to save a penalty.
"I saved a couple for Fulham against some big teams but as a goalkeeper it's not special or anything like that."

Stockdale said: "The timing of it couldn't have been any worse when we gave it away but it was good that we were going in (at halftime) with a bit of spirit and they (Birmingham) were a bit down from missing it, and we responded really well."
