00:00 Press is kind of off Albion. They are, I think if you look at the bookies odds, Albion are 11 to 2.
00:04 They're the lowest out of the four sides and the Ignorance are above them.
00:07 The Ignorance are 9 to 2 and then obviously Leeds and Southampton are the two favourites. But
00:10 work will be frantic at the training ground this week in terms of Corbran and his staff putting
00:17 preparations in place, putting a game plan in place. But for me, I would imagine the atmosphere
00:23 around that Albion squad, it will be excitement, but I imagine it'll be pretty relaxed as well.
00:29 What do you think? Yeah, I think it'll be motivated as well. I think that'll be,
00:34 we heard and we know how it was last week. It was fired up, it was het up, it was intense.
00:42 Jed Wallace described it to me as, he used the word needle. There was frustration in the air.
00:51 That frustration's gone now admittedly, having got the first job done. But I think
00:59 there'll be, there's always motivation in there, but I think there'll be an extra
01:02 sort of dose of motivation. The odds you've just mentioned there, and a part of me understands why
01:09 Albion are considered more outsiders than Norwich, but they shouldn't be. And the reason
01:15 they are, maybe it's formed, maybe, I can't remember off the top of my head just how Norwich's
01:19 form is at the minute, but I don't think it's brilliant, is it? I think they rather, so to say.
01:24 I think the reason Albion are ranked outsiders really is because they've flown right under the
01:29 radar this season, because for so long they haven't moved. And people have almost forgot
01:34 about them and sort of assumed, oh, fifth place Albion, not good enough to catch the top four,
01:40 stayed 10 points plus outside the top four, they're not a threat, they're not going to do anything.
01:45 And there's a massive underdog theory going on here, isn't there?
