Out for me, I can't see any visible signs of improvement. The players really don't have any idea of how to break teams down. It would just be nice to see a bit of inventiveness from somewhere, a different corner routine would be a start. What do they do in training all week???

As for Bruce, he's been around the block, been sacked by several clubs. I don't know why we think this seems to be a barometer to be a good manager for us. He doesn't inspire me. I don't know what he's like as a person, but he comes across as really quite boring and dull on interviews. Its probably why fans of his clubs in the past have never taken to him.

I'd rather we took a young manager out of league one or two and gave him a shot. They will at least know the better players in those leagues and we could target them to sign.

But...I'm pretty sure SB will be here next season. Whoever is in charge needs to sign at least 5 players who can immediately improve our first XI. We we will need to use the loan market better than ever next season.

I have maintained the same stance over Manager/Head Coach dismissals for as long as I can remember…and have posted the same view every time a dismissal is called for…(Pulis, Bilic, Val etc)
I would keep the incumbent unless there is A N Other BETTER prospect available and willing to come.

Steve Bruce needs to show some vision regarding next season; there should be no more starts for Sam Johnstone, as he is obviously going to leave in the Summer, give Palmer a go, Dara O’Shea should start, TGH must start and one of the young strikers should start alongside Andy Carroll. Please, please no more Livermore, Robinson, Grant or Diangana. If he persists with the same old line up, then he too, should go at the end of the season.

Button is in the team v Blackpool and he has told him and others they have got move closer to the training ground.
He said it's not acceptable, that 9 players travel well over an hour. If they won't move they have got to get an apartment and he said with the wages they are on they can afford it.
Seems the players have had it toohttps://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/west-bromwich-albion/2022/04/14/steve-bruce-tells-west-broms-commuting-players-to-move/ easy.

Totally agree Ketts and especially with those players you mention - absolute no heart! It will be criminal if he does not give Cleary an opportunity!

Whilst Carroll has been our best player I would only offer a contract based on a fitness clause as can see at some point him being out for 3 months!

30 million for Grant and Diangana. Extended contacts for Livermore, Robinson, Bartley etc and useless Molumby being signed. Plus Zohore!! Does a guy with a white stick do our recruitment or a delinquent?

A lot of the press stories about players contracts for next season seem to indicate that Bruce will be here, I'm not convinced he is the right man to continue but whoever is in charge has to bring in 4 or 5 players that can go straight into the 1st team and try and get rid of the dead wood although that will be difficult as most of them are still under contract.

I backed him at first saltnshake but he’s done nothing - some could say the team is worse! Bruce loves Livermore who is s hite and any captain should lead by example with discipline and team spirit. I am sure Bruce will play the same dross for the remaining games as Ketts mentioned ie Livermore, Robinson, Grant, Diangana.

Phillips needs moving on too as he’s past it and always in the treatment room!! O’Shea is our best player but not playing and no wonder Cleary wants to leave!!

Replace Bruce!! Look how Forest have been turned around!!!

I would agree Prando, and in this case as soon as Derby can no longer stay up we should run over burning coals to get Rooney.

Bruce out....I would get rid of the lot except the tea lady....don't think she has done anything wrong....
