Head or legs....I have seen sawyers at points play really well, recently I’ve also seen him dip off quite alarmingly in matches.
Some have mentioned with less games, more rest and slower pace in midfield the prem may work better for him...I’m not sure but I hope so.

At his age I seriously hope it was his head.

He'll only be a success in the PL with a much much better player alongside him. In the Nzonzi mould as you often mention.

Me too
Not sure we can be planning to play 433 which has helped cover players off days quite a bit .
It’s been a good night, but the work starts now, there is going to be a lot of big decisions that need to be made...I hope we take all of the emotion out of it.

Very pleased that Brunty managed to get on and it was definitely on merit. What a club servant and Albion legend.

2 good cameos to end his career here. A player who will ultimately go down as a modern club legend. Wish him well in his final years and hope to see him back here in some capacity eventually.

Criminally over played last season and under utilized this season. Probably made 10 appearances too few. there were games when he should have come on instead of harper or even played over sawyers

He saw his last game get his club back in the big time. His third promotion medal. Shame he didn't get his send off in front of a full stadium. I hope we get a chance down the line at a testimonial

I think we will have to accept that we will never have another Chris Brunt at this football club.

It is a crying shame that The Hawthorns was not able to give him the send off he deserves.

Great servant to our club.  It is the right time to move on, but I would live to see him return to the coaching staff soon.  Thank-you Chris for the many many good times, your heart was always in it for us, and your passes at times were world class.  Whatever you do next the very best of look.  Given recent events, I could not begrudge you a good couple of years at Stoke.

Good luck to Brunty. He made a solid cameo last night; put in a wicked delivery and offered a good range of composure and passing. I still think that he has been underused in these last few weeks and was hoping and praying that he had one more magic moment in his locker.

Move to Stoke all looks done according to the rumours.

Good luck, Brunty - a great way to bow out.

Chris Brunt, I salute you. The title Legend is not lost on you, you are a worth bearer of that accolade.

I thank you for you 13 years of endeavour, loyal and dedicated service and for the enjoyment you have consistently delivered to the Albion faithful in your time with us.

I wish you nothing less than success in wherever your future leads you, who knows, a Head Coach of your beloved Albion awaits you.

Fingers crossed we get drawn against Stoke in one of the cups at least.

They did, didn't they. Brunty's farewell message that was posted on the site a bit ago was pure class, too.

I know Jake can have his moments, but I do think he has been a different player under Biliç.

As for Brunt, yes I will miss him - not just as a player but definitely for the attitude he brought to other players. Proper captain and a true Albion man; I wish him well.

Ah Chris Brunt capable of scoring a Free Kick or Whirldie capable of Missing from 6 yards but reliable servant none the less Wherever he ends up good luck to him He should have got a heroes send off from what I saw On Youtube and Social Media he did with Albion fans outside the ground but he needed 26 thousand Albion fans clapping him and Chanting his name
