    Backwards Under Bruce - Facts!

    Steve Bruce has had 26 league games as West Brom boss.
    7 wins. 9 defeats. 10 draws.
    32 goals scored. 34 goals conceded.
    So far this season, #WBA 20th with just 9 points from 9 games. Ahead in only one game (win vs Hull).
    It's been dire. How much longer can it last?

    A book could be written on Bruce’s excuses! Caleb loved at his loan club and we have Bartley and Button plus NO striker!

    Phillips and Livermore thrown on to produce magic but the only magic would be the ball landing on the counter of McDonalds on the Birmingham Road!

    Go now Bruce and to think Mowbray is at Sunderland and they are doing fantastic with no big time Charlie’s!

    Regardless of the old pals act with him and Fat Ron the fact is he will go.

    Lai will pull the trigger next week if we get beaten at Norwich, certainly he won’t wait more than three more games without a win.

    Our central defensive pairing could and should have been Matt Clarke and Caleb Taylor. Thanks to the ‘oh so experienced’ Steve Bruce we have neither. Could it be senility?

    Told that we approached Clarke and he expressed no desire whatsoever to return. At all. He was never an option apparently.

    I agree and Kipre much better than Bartley! The horrible C unt in China would never have paid 2.5 million for Clarke especially when he’s had his grubby fingers in the cash pot and pocketed the Robinson money!

    They are saying that Caleb Taylor and the young goalie Griffiths are doing well in League 1.

    I’m not saying they would definitely pull out great performances for us but it does make you think, can they be much worse than Bartley and Button? Bruce is depressingly timid when it comes to blooding younger lads.

    Alright Al, I hope your health is good mate..

    I think it was Kilbane who said we were a dead club when he fkd off to Sunderland, and the current our hierarchy including Bruce have managed to prove him right all these years later.

    Fking parasite the lot of them, who less than a sh it for great club and care more about what it gives them in the bank each month.

    I actually felt sorry for Bruce when he took over 2 days after the window closed but this c unt has done nothing to bring any players to address the problems.

    When we lost Clarke I thought he would bring a loan like every other club has, chomping at the bit to prove himself like the likes of Gueye did, but Bruce was to busy to have any knowledge of the game that has made him a multi millionaire and left recruitment to IT worker son in law.

    Ffs the fat bas tard is even to lazy to put Player manager on and see who the game developers rate.

    They’ll know the ropes for that division with us next season then.

    Always a silver cloud!

    Caleb Taylor is getting rave reviews but it's worth remembering he's playing in a back three. This gives him extra cover given he's a little slow on the turn.

    No, I don't think he could do any worse than Bartley but he's enjoying his time and getting his toughen up knocks in.

    Griffiths is very promising but as a young keeper he has rough edges to his game that he's ironing out, I'm not sure our crowd would take too well should mistakes at our higher level occur.

    Brilliant especially the comment about the ball landing in Maccies

    Would have loved Mowbray back
