Steve Bruce suggests West Brom can still finish in top six
Steve Bruce has suggested has West Brom can still finish in the top six after the Baggies won 1-0 against Fulham in their last game.
In recent weeks, the performances have improved a lot and the Baggies fans even gave their players a standing ovation.
Bruce feels that his side will fight till the end and that they can go on a run from here and reach their target.
Bruce said as quoted by Express and Star: “It’s turned into a decent week – we have taken seven points from nine.
“Now I’m going to put the pressure on all of us. We’ve got a huge game at Bristol City on Saturday. Can we go and repeat that kind of performance?
“Can we go on a run? Let’s hope we can. We have to win at Bristol before the (international) break. Let’s see. We aren’t going to give it up.”
Tough
There is no doubt that the win against Fulham was a fantastic result in the large context of West Brom’s season.
It was their best performance in months and it won’t be an exaggeration to say that it was their best performance of the season as well. They deserved to beat the Championship leaders.
A goal from Callum Robinson was enough to win the tie, but it could have been a lot more.
After a tremendous first-half display, in which they dominated, Bruce surely must have seen signs of improvement.
After a run of one win in 13 games, the hopes of promotion were all but over. However, the recent performances have rekindled that hope.
The Baggies now sit six points outside play-offs with nine matches left to play, and a brilliant run from here on could put them right into the mix.
They must take it one game at a time and focus on winning games.
