00:00It wasn't vintage Albion, but another win, back top of the league. Sum up how you're
00:11feeling, you must be delighted. Three points, played well, tough, hard to beat, didn't give
00:16up, just said to him there we should have won 4 or 5 but they didn't give up. And then
00:19when the pressure came onto us, we had enough of ours to keep the clean sheet as well. Strong
00:23bench, strong bench, haven't had that for 4 or 5 years. And the new players are making
00:28impacts, Eggerman and Blazers there, Ratic did really, really well.
00:32Yeah, definitely, so every single season, whatever age you are, every single season
00:40there would have been games like this where we would have dropped points, we would have
00:43drawn, even lost, we lost to Huddersfield at home around this time last year. So you
00:49can't just expect to turn up and win every single, we know what the Championship is like,
00:53every single game in this league you've got to fight to win. We've done it, we've won
00:58and if you're top of the league and you win, you'll stay top of the league.
01:01Hard work, didn't make our way. They've been good though to be fair, we couldn't get past
01:07their defence, they're a very solid structure.
01:10Should have really killed the game, hit the post three times, should really be tackled
01:16to a point, just seen the game out.
01:18The first half Albion hit the post three times, Plymouth had a lot of pressure, did
01:23you feel Albion were just a little bit under par at times today, compared to recent weeks
01:27and what we've been treated to?
01:29Yeah, there was that drop-off between 50, 60, 70 minutes, but it was a case, even though
01:32the drop-off was there, there was still a threat. They were always going to come with
01:35a counter-attack today, we knew that, should have had more goals, but on other days you
01:39hit the post three times, they get a goal and then we lose the game and I think that's
01:42the difference this season to last year. They're not giving up, they keep going, even in the
01:46last minute there, you've got your man still going and trying to hit a goal and get us
01:49on the break.
01:50A proper centre-forward.
01:51Yeah, there's a difference, and a clean sheet.
01:53Bye, bye!
01:54Another clean sheet, we're building.
01:57Yeah, I feel like we could have made it right more, three points, two points, can't really
02:04complain.
02:05You mentioned the new signings there, Rakic came in today as the one change, how impressed
02:11were you by him, got the assist, he's massive isn't he, he's just such an imposing figure.
02:15You've got to look at Higgum as well, look at Higgum at the back, when he's ushered the
02:21bloke out, he's never going to go round him.
02:24Having some of the balls, right in the first half he was trying to play the balls to the
02:27fellows, he was trying to find the balls to Grant, he stayed just in behind the striker
02:30so he was always going to attack him in midfield or something like that, so I think he'll get
02:34better as well. I mean this is the thing with the squad now, you've lost Malumbo today,
02:37but you've had somebody who can slot straight in and carry on as normal, and this is the
02:41thing with the squad this season.
02:42Yeah, brilliant, yeah, so definitely, but he's tough on Malumbo because Malumbo's done
02:47really well but he's a great problem to have, I'm glad Carlos has got that rather than me.
02:52Six goals now for Josh Madgert this season.
02:56I thought he was blasted, I thought he was good.
02:58He's a very good addition to the side, definitely has a very good squad now, when we do have
03:03the injuries like Malumbo and stuff, yeah I think he's very composed.
03:08Yeah, obviously more composed than Malumbo, I think Malumbo can be a bit erratic at times
03:12but he slows the game down.
03:15And just finally, you mentioned the goals and you mentioned Madger there, do you feel
03:18that for all the running that Sante did last season, he's just sort of lacked scoring a
03:23decent amount of goals, do you think the one difference this year is going to be the goals
03:27that Madger scores?
03:28Yeah, we've missed our goal scorer for a while now, and the other thing is as well, two saves
03:33against McFarland in the first half, could have been a different ball game.
03:37The second half, you're looking in there, what is that now, three clean sheets on the
03:40bounce, four out of six games.
03:44But you're looking over to Madgers on six goals, I mean Sante scored 11 all season last
03:48year, so he's well on his way to being a Sante.
03:50At the end of the day, you signed a Sante for what, £100,000 was it?
03:53Sold him for £2.5 million, it's great isn't it?
03:55It's what you do isn't it?
03:56It's what you do.
03:58Yeah, quite possibly, so six goals in six games, so he's on track for 46 for the season
04:05then at the moment.
04:07He's a player that was here last season, I've seen people say we've improved the squad or
04:12different things, but we had players missing five or six at any point last season.
04:17If we had five or six out now, we'd be finding things a lot tougher, but I think only DK
04:21Malumbi today has been out and he's making a difference and long may it continue, but
04:26yeah, Madger, he's been absolutely flying.
04:29I think we were definitely lacking a proven goal scorer last year, and we needed that
04:35if we wanted to push, especially for top two, because we don't want to be in that 36, we
04:41want to be pushing top two each year.
