00:00Obviously West Ham this weekend, how different to the side that you beat 1-0 down there last season?
00:04They obviously got three points at Goodison Park as well later in the season.
00:07Yes, I mean, a new manager trying to instil, I'm sure, his thoughts on what he wants the team to do.
00:14They've spent a lot of money over the last sort of two, three seasons.
00:18So they've got some very good players.
00:20And, you know, it's like all managers, you're trying to find a formula and a way that it can work better.
00:24And I'm sure they're trying to do that.
00:25But they've got some very good players.
00:27A manager who I think is a good manager.
00:29I don't know him that well, but I've come across him a few times and he speaks very well.
00:34He certainly did to me.
00:35You know, trying to form a side that can win, like we all are.
00:38Do you quite know what to expect?
00:39They've actually hit six in their last two at home, yet they've shipped a total of seven across games against Spurs and Forest.
00:47Yes, and they're probably looking at us going, I think in the last, whatever it is, five or six.
00:51I think it's only us and Forest have only conceded three goals or whatever it is.
00:54You know, they're probably looking, well, how does that work then?
00:57And they haven't scored as many.
00:58You know, these are the conundrums of the game, you know, and how teams operate.
01:02And, you know, taking a chance at one end, stopping them at the other, it's always the defining factor.
01:08Like I said, I think we've been on a better forefront going to take these games on.
01:14I think we came away from that against Fulham, but I thought some of that was back on show against Southampton.
01:18Other areas of the game, we could have done better in that game, but we certainly looked to Forest going forwards and creating chances.
01:23And to give away so little in defence and yet lose a game, then that's really frustrating.
01:27But we've got to correct that this weekend.
01:29That's what we look to do.
