But yeah, any recollections of that game? Any recollections of the cup game that happened more
7:05
recently? Uh...
7:06
again I mean the cup game was again was closer than the scoreline suggests I mean we've had a lot of those games this year where we've let we've let the scoreline get away with a scoop like you said conceding a goal in the first minute it's suicide basically um and it was such a poor goal to concede as well but um it's it's just one of those it's been a frustrating season to be honest um the problem that we've had at the Albion is um and it's and it's not a problem um is the fact that it's not people's fault when they were born, right? Yeah.

And for those of us who have been around the block a few times, you know, and who saw us nearly go out of the league and out of existence, you know, the expectation levels aren't quite as high as they might be for support with fans of the club who... who've only ever seen us play in the Premier League or only ever seen us play at the Amex.
8:12
So it's, you know, and the fact that we had that season where we qualified for Europe under the Derby with arguably the best team that we've ever had in our history in terms of the, you know, the personnel that we had.
8:25
You know, we had a midfielder, Michalis Thiem and Caicedo, for Christ's sake, you know.
8:29
It helps.

In the summer, what were the areas that you thought actually maybe the club does need to strengthen in these areas if the club is going to keep on improving?
12:32
Actually, I mean, the recruitment in the summer was kind of what we pretty much expected to a large degree because it's like we knew that Lewis Stung didn't have a great season last year.
12:47
He was under a lot of pressure.
12:48
He'd played...
12:50
He'd gone away with England.
12:51
He'd trained hard all summer.
12:54
Came back, didn't have a break.

How do you feel like he's adapted to life as a manager in the Premier League this season so far?
