Jonny Drury caught up with Albion fans after they watched their side fall to a second defeat in four days.
The Baggies had the odd chance in the game but were second best in many departments.
And they fell to defeat as Hayden Hackney fired Boro into the lead midway through the half.

00:00Two defeats on the banks, not massively inspiring tonight, what went wrong for Albion?
00:14As much as everyone's bothered about Albion and what went wrong for Albion and there was
00:20plenty to pick thoughts with, I thought Middlesbrough were brilliant tonight to be honest.
00:26Do you think it was a case of, I thought Middlesbrough were good as well, but Albion were under par
00:31a little bit again, not used to what we've seen, certainly at home in the first few games?
00:36Yeah definitely, I don't believe in jinxers or anything like that, there's no logic to
00:41it but for it feels like decades now, night games here just seem to go wrong and there's
00:48no logic to it, it's not the same players, it's just like coming to the ground I was
00:52like, oh man a night game at the Hawthorns, it's like whoever you play to feels like a
00:56bananas again, but I don't know, there's no logic to it but yeah things just didn't go
01:02right tonight but yeah I thought Middlesbrough deserved it.
01:05Swift really, yeah, Swift and Wallace, never got started first half, really sloppy, wouldn't
01:11get the ball, wouldn't get the ball, convention, it was a tough decision.
01:15In terms of selection, we discussed selection on Saturday, tonight it was Jed Wallace in
01:18for Tom Fellowes, do you feel Albion are a weaker side when Fellowes is not playing,
01:23they kind of lacked a little bit of creativity in the first half?
01:26Yeah definitely, Tom Fellowes is an amazing player but at the same time you've got three
01:31games in a week, Jed Wallace is also a very good player, to be honest I thought Johnston
01:37might start instead of Grant but from judging what happened tonight and only what's happened
01:43tonight I'm glad he didn't because I thought Grant was way better than Johnston for their
01:47time on the pitch.
01:48I think he's missing, Holgate should have started, Fellowes should have been here, I
01:53think Mikey should have started as well, I'm not quite as upset, it's a bit of a team.
02:00Looking to Saturday, we've seen similar line-ups now, only one or two changes, do you think
02:05there needs to be a few more on Saturday, maybe freshen the side up a little bit now
02:09we're going through this little tiny sticky patch?
02:14Not really, I'd like to see Molumbi back in, if Molumbi's fit, he's been on the bench the
02:17last few games, him and Mowat, they had a brilliant partnership and I thought he'd start
02:23tonight so I'm not sure if he's still got a knock and they don't want him to play the
02:27whole game, he's got to go away on international duty probably after the game on Saturday but
02:32I want to see that Mowat and Molumbi partnership, apart from that I know some aren't a fan of
02:37Swift but I think Swift does an underrated role, Grant's played well, Fellowes back in,
02:45you're not going to replace Madger, I don't think you're going to make any changes at
02:48the back so there isn't much I'd change to be honest.
02:51Yeah, probably, that's what I would think.
02:55I agree, I like Fellowes but to be fair, I'm not too sure if he's got the full energy for
03:04the whole game, then again I can't say anything but do you know what I mean, he's sound but
03:11I quite like the way that they played today, I don't know, it's tricky to say to be honest
03:16but I put my faith in Kars a bit and I quite like the way he played this evening, I just
03:22don't think they wanted him to end the story really.
