00:00Let's just run through the side now and give a little prediction of how many Albion realistically
00:06need. Now there's a difference between need and will get. In terms of need, let's look
00:12at the back line in terms of right-backs, there is one. In terms of centre-halves, like
00:20we said there, you've got Hegham, you've got Jair, you've got Bartley and you've got Caleb
00:23Taylor and you've got Paddington who is a back-up. So in terms of that position, I don't
00:30think it would be unsurprising if Albion didn't add to that now, between now and the end of
00:33the window. I think the centre-back department is there really. There's probably a question
00:41about Caleb Taylor, about whether he goes on loan, now McNair is in, but I think the
00:44centre-back department is there. You're looking at right-back and you're seeing Darnell Furlong
00:51and you're not seeing too much else, which has been the case for many a year hasn't it?
00:58But now you say the same at left-back, you would have said the same at left-back about
01:02Conor Townsend, but he's off to Ipswich and now you're looking at left-back and you're
01:06seeing next to nobody really with respect to the kids who aren't anywhere near ready
01:12yet. So we know Torbjörn Hegham, the new Norwegian can play on the left, but I don't
01:17see him as being a starting left-back. So very much left-back. Look, in an ideal world
01:24there'd be right-back cover competition in the Pippa mould, who can fare better than
01:31Pippa as well. But the priority absolutely has to be left-back now, doesn't it? Left-back,
01:36left-wing-back. The first-choice regular's gone now, someone who was the vice-captain
01:41on plenty of occasions. Absolutely defensive priority now has to be left-back.
