Jonny Drury catches up with deflated Albion fans after they were beaten late on at Norwich.
Albion had big first half chances but failed to take them - and in the second half it looked to be heading for a draw.
But late on Josh Sargent bagged the winner two minutes into added time - to extend Albion's winless run on the road.

00:00Dan, last minute, it's happened a few times this season, just sum that up, what's happened?
00:13Yeah, it happens, we're not clinical enough, we had all the possession, we should have
00:19finished the game off in the first half, we didn't, so we get punished, and that's the
00:25way the game goes.
00:27I thought it was very frustrating because we didn't seem to have anything up front,
00:33we seemed to be happy with the draw, it was a draw written all over and Norwich didn't
00:39deserve to win, although it's our own fault.
00:43We also saved us a few times in the first half, in the second half, as with the goal,
00:49I thought it was maybe Lord B's fault, but it's one of those frustrating things, I'd
00:55have lost about 3 or 4 in the olden days, but we seem to have been happy with the draw.
01:01How many times has RB come away this season, dominated the first 20, 30 minutes, had a
01:07chance, same old story isn't it?
01:09It must be frustrating for you in the stands.
01:11Yeah, same old story, but we're still top six, that's what we've got to build on, we've
01:15got a few good games coming up, we've got Coventry away, which I think we'll get three
01:19points against, we've got Wofford at home, again, I think three points are easy, we'll
01:25get three points at home, the play-offs are still achievable, we'll just see where we
01:29go from there.
01:30Yeah, in the game it felt like a bit of a lull in the second half, you waited quite
01:33late, Mowbray, to bring his subs on, do you feel he made a bit of a mistake, maybe could
01:37have brought them on a bit earlier?
01:38Yeah, he should have brought them on earlier, but I think the team that was on, that started
01:43at 11, should have put the game away, we could have brought the subs on a bit earlier and
01:47made a difference, but to be fair to Norwich, they finished the game off, which is what
01:53teams need to do in the Championship, we're not clinical enough, so we'll see where we
01:58go from here.
01:59One of the things which we were speaking about, I don't think there was any subs until about
02:03the 75th minute, we were crying for a big centre-forward, like we spoke about Lancashire
02:10and DK, and they weren't brought on, and we seem to be lacking in the positive movements
02:18to get something done, to get a win, because Norwich were, they were no big threat to us
02:25at all.
02:26And just overall, obviously Compton lost last night, and Bristol City were losing today,
02:30with those two away coming up, does this feel like a big missed opportunity?
02:34Yeah, it's a missed opportunity, but we can only take the opportunities we've got, and
02:39if anything goes for the last three games, that yes, we've dropped points, but we're
02:44still in the play-off chances, so we'll go from there and we'll see where we go.
02:48Yeah, definitely, definitely.
02:51I think the division is very poor, I think it's very poor, it's for anybody to get into
02:58the play-offs, but it's one of those where we're not good enough, you know, I think we're
03:05an average championship team, but you know, if we get there, we get there, but I'm not
03:12counting the chances.
