Jonny Drury caught up with West Brom fans following their latest defeat at home to Sunderland.
Albion had good chances in the game and better spells - but were beaten as Joe Wildsmith failed to deal with Trai Hume's first half free kick.
The result saw Albion drop out of the top six with a dozen games left to play.

00:00Warren, Bobby, back to back defeats, no wins in four games now, what did you make of that
00:13one today?
00:14A difficult game, really, I think the refereeing was awful, to tell the truth, we need something
00:22to attack it out, big time, we need to score a goal, it's not for the one to try, I don't
00:29know what's happening with them, they just don't seem to have that flair and ability
00:33to, when we've got players with the capability, I don't know.
00:39Yeah, like you say, off the puff, as the game went on we thought more and more strikers
00:46are more and more forward players, sacrifice the midfield, but still, we weren't really
00:52creating many clear-cut things, I think you need players like Mo and people don't like
00:58Mo, he wasn't out there today, we lost Swift to unlock defences and create chances, but
01:05yeah, I'm leaning back to back defeats, people keep saying, I don't know about draws, but
01:09I think a draw would have been a good result last week, I think a draw would have been
01:12a good result today, we'd be two points better off, I think we'd be the same points as Coventry,
01:17who've lost today, we'd be a point behind Middlesbrough, draws keep you ticking over
01:22and then when you're playing the teams lower down the league, that's when you expect to
01:26be winning the games, that's it.
01:29You know, Albin had probably the better moments in the game, but again, one crucial point,
01:35a real howler from Joe Wildsmith, what did you make of it, and that's a couple now, is
01:40it time to maybe change it between the sticks?
01:43Yeah, maybe give someone else a go, maybe Griffin a go, I mean he didn't arrive from
01:47Rovers, so maybe give him a go, I mean I'm not going to totally blame the keeper for
01:55the change, maybe a fresh little Rubix.
01:59Yeah, I've got to see it back to be honest, because even though it was handed down the
02:02end I thought it was a good free kick, but yeah apparently he's gone to punch it, I've
02:08got to see it again to judge, but yeah from what people are saying, it was another bad
02:11mistake, I thought it was an unnecessary free kick to give away to be honest, it looked
02:16like Dean Garner had the chance to either, I can't remember now, get it away or do something
02:21with it, and again he had another game where he didn't play well, gave away the free kick
02:27and then between him and everyone else, he's conspired in the goal.
02:32Yeah, you mentioned there about the attacking players, we've seen Armstrong come in, someone
02:36with a good goal record, hasn't really done it, DK Lancashire came on for the final 20
02:41minutes, would you like to see that maybe switched up on Tuesday night?
02:44Maybe yeah, because he's bringing him back slowly, you can see why, it's two back-to-back
02:49nasty injuries, but maybe yeah, I think he should maybe play him together, maybe play
02:56just behind him, DK up front and Armstrong just behind maybe, maybe try that.
03:02Well, Magi back soon, maybe, I think that's the big key one, get Magi back.
03:08Yeah, and that result today drops that, I'll be out of the top six for the first time in
03:11fields, like whatever, what's your feeling on that, are you a bit worried or can they
03:16chase now and get a place?
03:18It's not over, but with the games coming up, we've got, what was it, Bristol City in the
03:25week, we're going to lose Arnhem, and then Watford next Saturday, Coventry, if we, them
03:32games could make or break us basically, if we go and don't get any results out of that
03:37that's it's finished, I guess you'd say, but if we can maybe get a couple of wins result,
03:44maybe we should be comfortably in there, if we can manage to suffer there, without that.
03:49Yeah, back-to-back defeats, and we go to Bristol who are a good side, definitely can't afford
03:55to lose that one, there's numerous ways we can get into the top six, winning today would
04:02have, again, put us right back in there, we've got some nice games, not nice games,
04:08but we've got teams against lower teams to finish the season and we've still got Watford
04:12at home, and then if we cause an upset at Bristol or Coventry, then it'll make a massive
04:19difference, but it's been five months now or something since Holloway, when we last
04:24won away, so you're not going into games thinking you're going to win at Bristol or Coventry.
