00:00 And Charlie, finally on West Bromwich Albion, what are their aims now?
00:03 Obviously, we're coming out of this international break, more fixtures,
00:08 more tough fixtures every week now for them to play.
00:10 They want to be in a position where they are challenging up there for the play-off places,
00:15 but they have been inconsistent in moments and they are winning games,
00:19 but those games are not really, you know, beating teams thoroughly.
00:23 What's your thoughts so far and what are the realistic aims for them this season?
00:28 Yeah, two inconsistent so far from West Brom.
00:30 Of course, the aim is to get into that top six and try and get promoted to the Premier League.
00:35 I think in an ideal situation, it would be automatics.
00:38 That's not going to happen, unless the City and Ipswich Town are just breaking away from everybody in the division.
00:44 I think Leeds United as well are a pretty secure bet for the top six, potentially also the top three.
00:49 So that leaves just three other spots and there's so much competition for it.
00:53 Sunderland, Birmingham, Preston looking good, Norwich as well.
00:56 Southampton are bound to bounce back, Middlesbrough.
00:59 So West Brom definitely need to sort themselves out in front of goal, particularly.
01:03 I know they scored four goals recently against Preston, actually a massive result that,
01:08 and four against Middlesbrough as well, but it's too inconsistent.
01:11 As I say, I think having 15, 20 shots in the game sounds great.
01:15 When you look at it, it's mainly one, two, three on target, nowhere near good enough.
01:20 I think they need to focus on quality of chances rather than just shooting from range for needlessness.
01:25 And then potentially get better results there.
01:28 But Cor Brown is a manager who in the past has got on good runs of one nil, two nil wins.
01:34 He just needs to get on one of those and all of a sudden West Brom are right in that top six reckoning again.
