Jonny Drury caught up with Albion fans after their 3-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
Anthony Musaba put the relegation threatened hosts in front.
They were two up just after the break as Ike Ugo capitalised on some slack Albion defending.
And Josh Windass made it three midway through the half.
Albion had late chances but could not find a response - leaving the hope of securing a play-off spot on hold.

00:00 Clint, what was that?
00:10 Shambles.
00:11 Shambles.
00:12 So, yeah, it was really bad.
00:15 But fair play to Sheffield Wednesday.
00:21 They wanted the win more than us and we got what we deserved, nothing.
00:27 And they're a big club and I wish them well.
00:31 Shocking.
00:32 Just honestly, the way I feel now, I hope we don't make the playoffs after that.
00:36 It's painful.
00:37 Honestly, it's just so...
00:39 To go from last week's performance to then today, it's just disgusting.
00:44 You can deal with being out, sort of, played, but I'll be ranked fourth today.
00:50 It was almost embarrassing at times a little bit.
00:53 Yeah, so you feel like, "Blood for the players, I must need rotating," because we've got the
00:59 oldest squad in the league.
01:01 But at the same time, when we do that, it's just not working.
01:07 And we've lost three in a row and if we switch win tonight, we'll still qualify for the playoffs.
01:13 But we're going in...
01:14 We've lost three in a row and I think that's the first time we've let in three since Blues
01:17 away.
01:18 But all of us at Southampton got stuffed in the week.
01:22 Leeds got stuffed last night.
01:23 It's like...
01:24 It was happening at the end of last season.
01:26 It's like pressure gets to everyone and no one wants it.
01:28 But there's no excuse at all.
01:29 There was plenty of players out there.
01:31 I don't know what's going on.
01:33 I blame the team selection.
01:35 You all said that.
01:36 The team selection, to me, woke up Marwit.
01:40 Marwit has to be playing every game.
01:44 And it's a middle of the park where we lost people and we had nothing at points.
01:50 Magid didn't get any minutes and that's ridiculous.
01:56 What about you, Pat?
01:57 In terms of, you know, you can take being outplayed, but Albin were just out-battled
02:01 today.
02:02 They just didn't want it, did they?
02:03 Simply put, they just wanted it more.
02:06 We were second to everything.
02:07 Stop copying me!
02:10 It's just one of those days where it's towards the end of the season.
02:13 We're almost there in terms of playoffs, but they're just kind of crawling toward the line.
02:19 It's been the last few number of weeks now that we're just not performing well in games.
02:24 I mean, apart from Huddersfield's second half and Leicester last week, when have we played
02:28 well?
02:29 We haven't.
02:30 I think the problem Corbyn's got is we've got all these players coming back and he doesn't
02:33 know how to fit them in into the right strategy.
02:36 We were all confident in the last few weeks that we were going to get in the playoffs.
02:39 You know, it's still in our hands, but what's your feeling ahead of Leicester?
02:43 We've lost three in a row and we'll qualify for the playoffs tonight if we lose.
02:48 We've got six weeks to lose.
02:50 Otherwise, we need to match.
02:53 The worst case is we need to match what we'll do next week.
02:56 But to be honest, what's the point?
02:58 It's a waste of everyone's time and money.
02:59 If we lose four games in a row and when you only need a point or something, what is that
03:04 point?
03:05 Is there any getting in it?
03:06 I don't know.
03:07 We'll see what happens.
03:08 We need to win a game.
03:09 Once we win that one game, we've been on winning ones before.
03:13 We've been on losing ones.
03:14 But once we win that game, we'll go on a winning road.
03:19 After all, if we win our next four games, we'll get promoted.
03:22 Yeah.
03:23 We're confident.
03:26 Last season was our real chance, but this season, it's hard to get up.
03:32 We've just got to remember, win our next four games and we'll get promoted.
03:35 It's in our hands in terms of Preston, but beyond that, whoever we play, I still trust
03:42 Corbann to put out the right game tactics and the right game plan to beat when the team
03:49 comes our way, especially at home.
03:51 When it comes to away, if it is Southampton, that's going to be tough.
03:54 But when it comes to Southampton at home, you have to fancy yourself still.
03:58 If we lose tonight, we're in, aren't we?
04:01 Because we've got a difference really.
04:04 We need to change it quickly.
04:07 We're desperate for a number nine.
04:09 I don't know why, even though we're losing 3-0 today, why am I getting a game ahead of
04:13 the playoffs?
04:14 My only frustration is, Dean Gardner's not a ten either.
04:17 He shouldn't be playing there.
04:19 He was on the wing last week against Leicester.
04:21 Fantastic today.
04:23 Nothing.
