Steve Bruce shares ‘brutal truth’ amid shocking West Brom performances
Steve Bruce has fired shots at the senior West Brom players for their inability to deliver during big moments.
The new Baggies boss is yet to register a win since taking charge at the Hawthorns.
They now find themselves closer to the relegation zone than the top two, which is certainly not what the club wanted when they sacked Valerien Ismael to replace them with.
Bruce said, via Express and Star, “I’ve only been here a month and I’ve not seen enough from the so called big players and good players.
“I haven’t seen enough. What goes on in the dressing room will stay there.
“But I haven’t seen enough – that is the brutal truth.”
Excuses
Bruce knew what he was getting into and he’s somehow managed to drive this team backwards.
At least under Ismael the club looked like being contenders for a top-six finish.
Now, instead of thinking about promotion, they’re busy looking behind their shoulders as they’re on a ridiculous winless run.
Bruce can blame the big players all he wants but he knows that the buck stops with him.
He’s got to do something to pull this group out of the rut or he might as well pack his bags and have someone else come in as he’s clearly not being able to inspire his current crop of players.
The Baggies take on Hull City on Saturday and they will be hoping to get their first win on the board under Bruce.
