00:00 I think some of the reaction over the weekend has been a little bit sort of knee-jerk from
00:04 what I've seen. And we've got a question on this as well, and there's a need for a bit
00:08 of context. I think if you would reflect back to the opening day of the season, say if you
00:14 had said to me after that defeat to Blackburn, Albion would be in pole position to get the
00:20 sixth playoff or sixth spot, with the final spot in the playoffs, with one game to go.
00:25 Yeah, you need to draw on the final day.
00:26 I would have probably snapped, not just your hand, I would have snapped your arm off, I
00:30 would have snapped your other hand off.
00:32 I'd have had a new owner, by the way.
00:36 Yeah, well, and that as well. I think the fact that we talk about knee-jerk and a little
00:42 bit of anger after Saturday probably comes from not that, because when you look at that
00:46 in the context of things, it's an achievement. I think it's the fact that they're sort of
00:50 limping towards the line and the performance on Saturday. And I think it's right that you
00:56 probably need to take the two things and talk about them differently, even though they're
01:01 linked, talk about them differently. Because like we said, Albion have done well enough
01:06 to put themselves in this position where they are, you know, we take on Preston on Saturday
01:11 with one of the best home records in the division and you would expect Albion to win. That's
01:15 not a given. But we would have taken this, the point is we would have taken this position
01:21 back at the start of the season.
