The big striker had only scored three times all season for the Hammers prior to Saturday, but struck twice to inspire his teammates to a 3-1 success over the in form Baggies.
"I was putting myself about, which is what I like to think I'm about," the 23 year old told reporters.
"We've been playing well at home and I've been putting myself about, and I got my two goals so it was a great day." West Ham manager Sam Allardyce stated after the game that he will do all he can to tie Carroll down to the Upton Park club on a more permanent basis and backed his man for an international return, saying that "even as a substitute, Andy will cause problems at that level for any defence."
The big striker himself admits he is eyeing a place in the England set up, and said that despite not having started a game for England since the European Championships last summer, he will continue to work hard.
"I hope to play in every game for England but I haven't been picked- I just have to keep working hard for West Ham."
With his future up in the air at the end of the season, it's in Carroll's interests to produce his best form of the season in the remaining 8 games and convince the Irons to take a chance on him and tie him down to a permanent deal when the summer transfer window opens.
