Transcript
00:00 West Brom have beaten Birmingham at home, they've managed to get a draw that should have been 3 points at Ipswich and they've beaten Cardiff comfortably at home. It's a good run of form. Talk about their run into the end of the season. It could be quite tough but they are in and amongst it. They have got a big loss in Daryl Dekay who went down at Ipswich. Look at that.
00:29 Daryl Dekay, thoughts with him. Two Achilles tendons injuries in the space of 18 months. He's going to have another year on the sidelines potentially which is just absolutely devastating for him. It was good to see in the win on Tuesday night that all the West Brom players came together as well. The Cardiff City players, West Brom players wearing shirts with Daryl Dekay's name on the back. It's a good show of support. I think Dekay was very appreciative of that.
00:58 It was definitely not ideal for the playoff hopes. Only having one proper strike and now Brandon Thomas-Assante, Josh Meyer is out as well. It's going to be very tough for Carlos Corbran and Co to keep it going. But they are one of the favourites now for the playoff spots because they keep grinding out these results. The 1-0s, the 2-0s that Carlos Corbran was quite famous for at Huddersfield Town to get them their playoff position a couple of years ago.
01:23 He could be replicating that once again here. Defensively they've been a lot more solid recently and they are creating more chances than they were a couple of months ago. So keep that form going, especially at the Hawthorns. Can they do it away from home as well? That could be the difference.
