Jonny Drury and Lewis Cox discuss the form of Jed Wallace - and whether he is still a first choice pick out wide for Albion.
Transcript
00:00 I don't think he's in the best of form at the moment.
00:04 Is there an argument that he doesn't make up Albion's two best wide men at the moment?
00:10 We've got Mikey Johnson, who just can do no wrong.
00:13 You know, we've got Tom Fellows, who, although has been a little bit quieter in the last
00:18 couple of games, still showed a little glimpse at Huddersfield, you know, at QPR.
00:24 He set up Diangana's goal.
00:26 You know, is Wallace, on current form, is he in the top two wingers that Albion have
00:33 got?
00:34 Or is it maybe time to start with those two and for Wallace to step out, providing that
00:41 he doesn't lead the line again on Saturday and Tom's side doesn't come back?
00:45 No, I understand the debate and question, no doubt.
00:47 And form's a funny thing, isn't it, and current performance, because it is a little bit vague,
00:51 how far do you go back sort of thing.
00:53 But I suppose if we're talking about a handful or less, you know, two or three games or so,
00:58 you could make a strong case for that.
00:59 I think you could make an argument.
01:00 But I think we must all remember that Wallace has done and is doing a job for the side,
01:06 really.
01:07 You know, that's Jed Wallace in his heart of hearts.
01:09 Where does he want to play?
01:10 On the right wing, obviously.
01:11 You know, we want to play up front, but obviously he's going to do a job for the side, as every
01:16 player would or should.
01:19 Wallace is skipper.
01:20 We know how much it means to him.
01:23 He's a real team player.
01:24 But obviously he'd rather be in his natural position.
01:28 So I'm slightly loathe to judge him while he's been playing that role, Jonny, I would
01:32 say.
01:33 I think he's honest as the day is long and works hard and puts defenders under it physically.
01:39 It's been pretty thankless for him, I would say, over a few games, having to do that role.
01:43 It is a little bit alien to him, albeit he can do it.
01:46 But let's be honest, Cor Bernard, no one will turn it, really, did he?
