00:00 Charlie, on to West Bromwich Albion.
00:01 I mean, a huge positive to take by beating Swansea.
00:05 This is a sort of game that they had to win,
00:07 because if Albion fans were staring at three losses
00:10 at the start of the season, and now the EFL Cup
00:12 comes into that as well, there could
00:14 be panic stations early on.
00:16 I mean, a big win, but now they have to go to Leeds
00:18 and completely repeat that again and get three points again.
00:24 Yeah, I think it was almost panic stations
00:26 from preseason as well, because they didn't perform well.
00:29 There haven't been too many signings, just Josh Madgett
00:31 and Jeremy Salmien.
00:32 So I think both very good ones, but in defense,
00:35 they haven't strengthened yet.
00:36 And Corbrandt seemed to get frustrated with the recruitment.
00:39 This win over Swansea has taken fans and probably Corbrandt's
00:43 mind off of all of that.
00:44 Maybe not too convincing in terms of possession,
00:47 and there weren't too many opportunities created,
00:49 but it was a high-scoring game, a 3-2 to West Brom.
00:52 It was actually 3-0 at one point.
00:54 They were cruising.
00:55 Swansea got back into it in the latter stages.
00:57 Goals from Harry Darling and Nathan Wood
00:59 piled on the pressure.
01:02 I think Albion fans will be incredibly relieved
01:04 that it wasn't made 3-3, because it just kind of--
01:06 it's got West Brom written all over it at the moment.
01:09 It's going ahead and conceding again and again and again.
01:12 They just look very weak at the back.
01:14 So I think clean sheets are what they need going forward,
01:16 potentially.
01:17 And away at Leeds, it's not exactly
01:19 going to be the easiest opportunity to do that.
01:22 But it is worth noting that Leeds against Birmingham
01:26 didn't look their best.
01:28 Again, Cardiff didn't look their best as well.
01:30 So I think that there's potential there for West
01:32 Brom to sneak a result. It's just that away form.
01:35 The Baggies need to get rid of this awful away form,
01:39 because they've had it last season, the start of this
01:41 as well.
01:42 They want to say goodbye to that as soon as possible.
