00:00I thought Devante Cole showed in his substitute appearance that he offers us a useful option,
00:04pacing behind a bit of physicality and can be a nuisance. Do you agree he's better than
00:08just replacing Mantua with attacking midfielders and that he deserves more minutes?
00:14I would agree with everything you've said there, Sunil. I was delighted to see him and
00:19yeah quite happy with the shift he put in. What do you think, Coxsey?
00:22I would say we can definitely help speed through this podcast and get through the questions.
00:29I'll just answer it with a solid yes. Thank you. I'm not saying he was brilliant but he
00:38did enough, he did well considering he hadn't played in the league since the opening day.
00:42He's a striker, you know, he had a go with an overhead kick which was a difficult effort.
00:47He was close, you know, that bit of instinct. I don't know, Cole might not look at things,
00:53you know, how much does he press, all of this, you know, we'll see but just think to have
00:58a natural strike on the bench in moments like this where they need goals to end a sticky
01:04spell it's a no-brainer for me. I think saying we should question Albion fans for their starting
01:10line-up, I think most would have Cole on the bench now, wouldn't they, at the very least?
01:14Yeah, no, I certainly would, you know.
01:16Benchie would have two up top, let's be honest. But I'm not sure we'll ever see that from
01:20the off.
01:21No, maybe not. But he certainly brings you that option and hopefully will take the burden
01:26off Josh Mantua.
