Phillips played 86 mins too many today.

Is no one at the game? 

Was Stand Up If You Want Bruce Out

[JMullen95]

O’Shea really is diabolical with the ball at his feet.

[Groovephil]

This is exactly how teams get relegated. They think they can work their way out but the games keep clicking by until it’s too late.

[robnewbold]

Somehow Bruce will be delighted with this result.....stay on track, keep bashing away.

[Fritzl Palace]

At no stage did Bruce attempt to win that game

[Groovephil]

Started well but that was it.

It’s not good enough and he has to go. The table makes very worrying reading.

[wba_1996]

Another dismal result. Another wasted game. We’re getting relegated to League 1 and Gourlay and Lai are seemingly happy with it.

[gazberg]

Bruce came for the 0-0 and he got it. What more can be said.

[boinging_along]

Absolute rubbish from the manager.  First 5 mins we got the ball down and played it quickly through midfield and looked great.  After that you can see that we were under instruction to not commit forward.  At times we had zero players in the box and not a single midfielder or wing back making an effort to get in there.

The subs sum it up - it was all about keeping the shape and keeping the point on the board.

Get him out.  There's no way that a better manager wouldn't get more from these players.  Watching the defence smashing it up over the top of BTA's head time and time again is infuriating.  If you're going to hit it long at least aim for his feet.

[Nocky]

Please let this be the final nail in the coffin. He’s got an appalling record since taking over and this squad is miles better than 3rd from bottom. Awful stuff.

[gerry m]

Could someone remind Mr Bruce that to get points you have to win games. Draws are not good enough!

[Blowee]

At least when we are open you see some promise of a goal. Plan B seems to just roll over and accept our fate.

[east-stand-nick]

No mistake about it, we're in a relegation battle.

[darbolina]

This looks to be a relegation threatened team now. Sleepwalking to League 1 with a whimper!

[/quoteHis position is untenable.
Anyone on here that think's  otherwise is as comatose as Bruce !

[ttree30]

I doubt whether we have it in us to win the relegation scrap.

The manager should have gone of course but I personally don’t think that will make the big difference for which so many of us are hoping.

But we have to try something - a different voice, a fresh approach - to try to haul ourselves out of trouble and stay in the Championship.

The other thing is anyone who still thinks we are not in a relegation battle is kidding themselves. This is a rank poor team and it’s not about to discover Lazarus qualities overnight.

[Fritzl Palace]

No mistake about it, we're in a relegation battle.

If we keep Bruce in charge we are. Otherwise we can still threaten at the top end of the league under anyone capable

[Blowee]

There in lies the problem. We don’t have the capability to find anyone capable!

[gazberg]

Every advantage we have at this level is destroyed by the off field personnel. Complete and utter incompetence from top to bottom.

The worst run club in football.

[east-stand-nick]

He's going nowhere fast. Even if we do get rid, it takes us an eternity to find a replacement.

[AlbionFan]

Steve Bruce has been with the club for 8 months, he inherited players. he shipped out players, he bought his own players in and yet still, he doesn't know what his best team is or the best formation.

That is, without doubt, sheer incompetence in my view

[ttree30]

I respect your opinion Fritzl and wish there were some hard evidence to support it, but I think it is massively over optimistic.

This team is nowhere near threatening anyone at the top end of the table.

[lewisant]

Draw these games and lose the ones we do and this season is going one way. It’s 8 games now since we beat Hull and that was out 5th game for our 1st win of the season. He did badly last season.

Bruce has done NOTHING. 100% want him out and Ron Gourlay can go too.

We were against Luton at home today, there for the taking and he subs off the two best players that were looking likely to cause damage. It’s pathetic.

And Phillips still getting minutes on the pitch let alone starting is also shambolic.

I agree with Fritzl, there are about 15 players at this club more than competent of surmounting a promotion charge.

[darbolina]

No way is this team play off material.  At very best, it's mid table. Under Bruce we will get relegated.
