00:00It's an early start tomorrow for Carlos Corbijn's Albin as they head up to Hillsborough to tackle Sheffield Wednesday on the road in the Championship.
00:07Just been speaking with the Albin head coach at the training ground here for this morning's press conference.
00:11Bit of team news to bring actually and it centres around the midfield again for Albin.
00:15Obviously Albin have been much unchanged this season as we know but forced into that first switch last weekend in the win against Plymouth at home.
00:23You see Jason Molumbi was carrying a bit of a knock wasn't he in the calf and Uros Rakic came in for a full debut and impressed.
00:29Well Molumbi's improved, he's better, he's trained this week and barring no late hiccups today, sorry he trained yesterday,
00:37he'll be okay to feature tomorrow in contention if needed by the head coach.
00:42And he might be actually because we've had fresh news of a small knock and a doubt for Alex Moat which is a bit of a blow.
00:50Well a big blow really for Albin, Moat such a key influential character for Albin and for the midfield.
00:55Certainly picked up this season where he left off, certainly last time out.
01:00He felt some pain in his adductor after the game against Plymouth last weekend so he's not really been able to train properly this week so far.
01:08Moat he did though take part in some training yesterday and is expected to today on Friday.
01:13So Albin well, if he can come through that pain free and no further setbacks then Moat can be involved.
01:19But a bit of a doubt next to his name which as I say would be a considerable blow really to lose a player like Moat.
01:26Look, Wednesday haven't had the best start to the season have they under Danny Roll but far from an easy game up there really.
01:32I mean you only have to think back to April don't you and that 3-0 defeat at Hillsborough which I mean Carlos Corbijn's just been remembering some of it there.
01:39But for my money one of the toughest days really under his two-year tenure at the Hawthorns.
01:44Wednesday obviously were playing for survival weren't they.
01:46Albin got play-offs wrapped up and chasing in 3-0 defeat that day.
01:50So Albin very much be wanting to improve on that and Carlos did say look we can take bits of that to learn from it.
01:56And how we can go about bettering it this time.
01:59Albin still unbeaten of course, top of the pile with five wins from six.
02:03Four wins in a row now, three out of three away from home.
02:06So we're very much hoping that continues tomorrow and we'll be there with all the updates at the Expresson start.
