Jonny Drury caught up with Albion fans after their 2-0 defeat against Southampton.
The home side fellow behind early on as Ryan Fraser volleyed the Saints into the lead.
Albion rallied though and had a strong penalty shout turned down.
But despite having spells in the second period they failed to test the visitors - who sealed the win through David Brooks' strike late on.

00:00 Paul, frustrating evening obviously Slamdun a good side, was it a case of Slamdun the
00:12 better side or Albion just weren't at their aces tight?
00:14 I thought Serafamsen were the better team over the 90 odd minutes. I thought Baggies
00:18 had the moments towards the end of the first half, second half. We had our moments, really
00:26 the final ball let us down tonight with a bit of a lack of cutting edge. I thought I'd
00:31 rule Serafamsen were the better team but maybe on another occasion we could have possibly
00:35 got a draw there.
00:36 It was a case of them outplaying us slightly.
00:37 I think they were better in Baneleak to be honest, they played very well tonight.
00:48 What did you make of the lot substitutions in the second half? Taking Brandon Thomas
00:52 Assante off at half time, didn't have a recognised strike for a while there, did that bemuse
00:57 you a little bit?
00:58 I thought Brandon was largely defective in the first half. I do think the momentum changed
01:04 and went away from us when we made the triple substitution. I thought we were still in the
01:10 game up to that point and the triple substitution seemed to kill us really. Particularly perplexed
01:17 this evening at Mikey Johnson coming up who I thought was having a good game. So I thought
01:21 the substitutions were not really warranted. Hopefully with that new owner, because he
01:27 was here today apparently, he can look at it now and see that we need some money being
01:32 spent on it because we have got a strike and a dog has gone.
01:35 To be honest, it's not a diss at Thomas Assante, but I was hoping he'd come off at half time
01:42 for Wyman or early in the second half. He didn't seem much in the game in the first
01:49 half and just to mix it up a bit.
01:52 Just away from, I wouldn't say the football was secondary tonight, but obviously we've
01:54 had the news in the last 24 hours of a new owner. Just sum up your emotions when that
01:58 news was announced, relief?
02:00 Yeah, absolutely, absolute relief. I think it's good to draw a line under the Gooch and
02:06 Loy era. Let's see where we go from here. Obviously I think the feeling for everybody
02:10 is onwards and upwards. Let's see where we go from here.
02:14 Hopefully he spends a bit of money, because we need him to be honest.
02:19 Hopefully next season we're out if he wants to.
02:22 If it weren't for that coach, I dread to think, because our team on paper.
02:27 Yeah, buzzing, it's obviously good news. Everyone knows what's gone on in the last few years.
02:32 Yeah, it's all positive. It's a shame it was all those positive vibes. You kind of, you
02:41 don't want to say Albion, but you kind of thought coming into tonight, everything's
02:45 so positive. You just thought, at Southampton they're a very good side, you just thought
02:51 we're bad to lose tonight. But yeah, I think we've got a couple of away games now. We've
02:56 got to turn it around on the road. Hopefully we pick up a couple of draws or win one of
03:00 them. Yeah, got to turn it around on the road.
