it would have been tricky for him to put in any kind of performance when he wasn't being selected

He was selected regularly at the start of the season and was rubbish. I like Brunt but his performances will tail off very quickly.

He’s been a great player and a classsy passer of the ball but he is not the answer to our midfield problems.

Brunt is our most important central midfield player. Maybe not the best, but getting him into that team, covering his deficiencies and allowing him to play his own game makes us perform better.

He's not our most important central midfielder as apart from the fact5 its a square peg in a round hole he cannot tackle, he creates nothing  and doesn't have the legs.

He's our most important set piece taker as when he's on the pitch he takes 95% of them.

We cannot carry players especially when that player offers set-pieces only.

Ole ole ole ole... seriously though, some excellent passes and deliveries tonight again. Still not sure centre mid is the best position for him but he’s has an impact since returning for sure

I thought you might spot this on sky's assessment of the match  ;D

To be honest I thought he started poorly and let his man go for their 1st goal, but then grew into it and played very well from about 35-40 mins onwards (though the team as a whole was rubbish before that point too).

I was initially surprised he'd been given MOTM by sky when I saw the report but then after thinking about it for a few mins I couldn't really think of any other "stand out" players during the game that deserved it more.

I certainly think some of the stick he was getting on various social media platforms this evening that i've been reading since coming back home from the game were unjustified.

I still do not believe he should be played in central midfield but he did put in a shift today and managed to draw out some of that (now beginning to fade) magic aether from his "left wand" on the set pieces, adding to that ever growing assist tally for us.

Certainly looked better than Mozza today who truly is a spent force.

He's got his set piece deliveries right at the moment, when he was aiming for MacAuley the higher ball was right, now the low fizzers for Gayle are getting results.

He had a much better 2nd half as in the 1st the whole squad couldn't pass to another Albion player for toffee.
Our passing & tempo in the 2nd half is what won us the game fair play to the manager in bring on HRK for the start of the 2nd half.

Liability last night in first half and as a result at fault for first goal. Change at half time helped not only Chris but team overall and his game improved  but a central midfielder he is not. Thought Gayle was our best player to be honest.

Man of the Match ?

Lost his man for their first goal, two stupid free kicks in dangerous places from our possibly most experienced player ???

His set-pieces last night were better than they have been for a while but man of the match ? having a laugh there

Belongs nowhere near a CM position, His a liabilty there as evident by most of his season, But we need him for his assists as proved by last few games with his set pieces. Different games without them since we struggle unless Brunt/Phillips take them.

Would much prefer him LB.

The Brunt issue is a difficult one. He is not a central midfielder and it shows throughout games but his delivery particularly from set pieces is a huge weapon for us. If he doesn't play CM where does he play these days?

Superb delivery for the equaliser last night. Although his abysmal marking that led to us being one nil down in the first half. Seems to have found his range again with his set pieces, he’s stopped over hitting them. Still giving away too many stupid free kicks, partially as he’s legs move so slowly. Difficult to say where he fits in but he’s clearly more comfortable on the left than in the middle.

I always thought he did quite well at left back when he played there before and with Gibbs out would be a better option than Townsend imo

I think he meant moan of the match.

I wouldn't be surprised if he followed the ref home moaning in his ear all the way.

Much improved set-pieces last night.

However, that should not paper over the cracks in his play during open play where he was woefully short of quality.

Needs to play left side or on the bench

Well done Chris, he is not out of place in some illustrious company and this highlights what an important player he has been for Albion

He is the only one that’s been able to take a good corner for 12 years

No mate any of our players would have that amount of assists if they took all the corners, stands to reason...

Glad you finally accept it  ;)

There are others who can put decent corners over, Matt Phillips has put a few over.
