West Brom: Nixon’s update on Steve Bruce

West Brom slipped into the Championship relegation locations after a 0-0 draw with Luton City on Saturday however it appears as if Baggies followers must wait some time longer earlier than Steve Bruce is sacked.

What’s the phrase?

Regardless of only one win within the second tier this season, Bruce seemingly has the backing of Steve Gourlay, with pre-season hopes of a promotion push a distant reminiscence for the Baggies.

Alan Nixon supplied the newest on his place as supervisor on the Hawthorns following Saturday’s stalemate, writing in The Sun:

“Steve Bruce seems like he’s staying in command of the Baggies for now and has the backing of chief government Ron Gourlay.”

Gourlay should act now

In 32 matches in command of West Brom, Bruce has received simply eight video games, drawing 12 and dropping 12, which has earned him a particularly disappointing factors per sport common of 1.13.

When the 61-year-old took cost of the Baggies, they have been fifth in the Championship, which was sufficient to see Valerian Ismael sacked by Gourlay.

Is Bruce West Brom’s worst ever supervisor?

Bruce was introduced in with the goal of getting the Baggies promoted in his first season however they’d end tenth within the second tier, so the truth that he’s nonetheless in cost eight months later having made West Brom considerably worse than they have been beneath Ismael, is baffling.

Eye-catching summer season additions similar to John Swift and Jed Wallace regarded as if they’d steer the Baggies again in the direction of the highest of the Championship however this season has been a whole catastrophe to date.

Whereas Bruce can’t take all the blame, because the expected goals statistics counsel that West Brom must be a lot better off, it nonetheless isn’t ok and the outcomes present no signal of bettering beneath Bruce.

Certainly, Albion are actually on a run and not using a win because the again finish of August, with nine matches passing since their final three factors.

Nixon means that Gourlay nonetheless has religion within the 61-year-old but when West Brom are to have any likelihood of recovering this season, then he have to be sacked as quickly as attainable.
