We are UP FOR THE CUP! And we really were on Saturday, riding an early threat from Norwich to eventually romp home 0-4.

A great day out, a great performance and some fantastic positives to be taken from the game, including a welcome return for Danny Welbeck, a welcome and sensational appearance from the bench for Solly March, some really good goals including an overdue strike for Julio Enciso and last but by absolutely no means least, a first team debut for young Albion centre back Ruairi McConville, who came on and acquitted himself really well.

Russ spoke to his dad and younger brother in the away end at the end of the match and found both family members to be delighted and extremely proud of Ruairi’s debut.

Also on the pod we heard from two Davids, Chris, Sam, Molly, Caroline, Will and Clive.

So next up, an immediate return to East Anglia with a visit to Portman Road in the Prem.

Stand or fall!   UTA!  Welcome to the first team, Ruairi!!!
