I am certainly are not fickle. Since the Bournemouth match or few matches there after - where have we seen the high press or same intensity? In the last three months the football has been absolutely dire - embarrassing is a better word! Val dug his own grave hoping things would change without a plan B. The suspensions have been shocking!

I certainly would not call any supporter fickle who regularly goes to the matches and spends their cash! Those who sit at home maybe! Supporters who go to the games and part with their money can say what they want as after all - it’s an investment and time.

I am going to Sheffield and will back Bruce 100% although could have thought of better managers. If Bruce after 2 months plus serves up garbage like Val then he will get it in the neck!

Most West Brom supporters who go to the matches don’t expect miracles but they do expect the same type of football being served up by QPR or Blackburn!

The fickle supporters for me are those who slam a manager from the off and don’t even part with their cash! It won’t be long before the number 1 suspect Viaduct starts his anti manager campaign after about two games in or from his sofa watching the Sheffield or Luton matches!
Top post baggieal. Football is results business, if that isn’t happening and on top of that the football is dire and owner will take action. I was hopeful when Val started but where he’s taken us is nowhere, he’s not a smart manager is? So why should we still persist with him when he makes the same mistake week in week out? I don’t get why you and likes of me are getting called out for spotting the blinking obvious 😂 yes we know owner has issues, but he does control what’s on the pitch.

That said, i wasn’t so keen on Bruce to be honest but the more I think about it.. he’s probably the best choice.. like Roy exiting Liverpool, Bruce will find himself in a similar position (bad supporters) - so hope the bad experience he has had is used to fire him up to prove a point.
