'I can see plenty of positives but we've got a lot to work on. Worryingly the striker, who had a goal chalked off for offside, limped out of the action in the second half. Steve Bruce's first home game in charge at West Brom ended in stalemate at the Hawthorns We have to be better in the final third but I'm confident we can be where we want to be.'

The striker is yet to score, and he is also not making much of a difference in the final third with regard to those around him. “Very rarely you get to go into a side and turn the lights on, most of the time there’s an element of the dimmer switch where it takes a while to get to where you want them to be. The controversial talkSPORT pundit has questioned the signing of Andy Carroll in January as the Baggies form continues to tumble.

Bruce's first home game as West Brom boss ends in Blackburn draw (FRANCE 24)

Steve Bruce's first home match as manager of West Bromwich Albion ended in a goalless draw with promotion-chasing rivals Blackburn Rovers at The Hawthorns ...

It's just frustrating that we couldn't nick a goal from an improved second-half performance. "I'm still proud of keeping a clean sheet, but with the talent we have, we should be scoring a goal." "Ben Brereton Diaz is a very robust footballer," Rovers manager Tony Mowbray told the BBC.

Rico Richards terrorises Arsenal as West Brom trialist is confirmed (Birmingham Live)

West Brom ran riot against Arsenal at Telford United on Monday to confirm their place in the next round of the Premier League Cup.

He was alive to the opportunity in the very early stages and took his goal with aplomb. That’s 18 across six games, and it makes them the top scorers in the tournament to date. Richards was sent racing down the right and his pull-back, in the nick of time, was tapped home by Cleary. That pointed to a late onslaught, but Albion wrapped the points up at the death. Albion, though, were deserving of their lead and they too could’ve scored more than the one they managed in the first half. That was the perfect start to this cup tie, which had so much riding on it for both sides.

Steve Bruce has gone all-in at West Brom but barren spell risks ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Bruce surprised many when he took up the vacant post at West Bromwich Albion earlier this month, after enduring a tough time whilst in charge of Newcastle ...

Bruce's assertion that his side need to score more is backed up by the numbers. It was great to hear - and I'm still quietly confident that we can make the play-offs." Do I want a fifth promotion?' And the answer had to be yes." Judging by his comments upon his Hawthorns unveiling, that certainly seems to be the case. "Maybe I need to take another look at playing 4-3-3. To never really be wanted, to feel that people wanted me to fail, to read people constantly saying I would fail, that I was useless, a fat waste of space, a stupid, tactically inept cabbage-head or whatever.

8 goals in 11: Striker West Brom held talks with can't stop scoring (HITC)

Steve Bruce's West Bromwich Albion drew 0-0 with Championship rivals Blackburn Rovers with the Baggies play-off hopes suffering another blow at Hawthorns.

A side dramatically underperforming their XG and being made to pay for a lack of efficiency in the final third. West Brom’s revival, if indeed there is to be a revival, will take time. Not so long ago, it was a story of missed chances.

West Brom v Blackburn live: Updates and reaction from Hawthorns ... (Accrington Observer)

Rovers have travelled to the Hawthorns seeking their first win in three games after their quest to be in the top two has hit a bump in the road. Tony Mowbray's ...

Typical. Joe Rankin-Costello comes in to replace him with James Brown now on the bench. Rovers had to withstand a period of pressure from the home side but were able to keep them out - Kaminski producing a fine save to deny Carroll. The past ten minutes have been all West Brom, with Furlong at the heart of it. In the second half, we deserved to score." "Like I said a couple of weeks ago, I don't want to put Bradley Dack's future in doubt because we are rushing to get a goal scorer on the pitch. Definitley a point gained for Mowbray's side, who could have nicked it near the end. Full time at the Hawthorns and it finishes 0-0. A couple of years ago you would be extrememly happy to come away with a point at West Brom. Something Rovers fans won't want to see. A minute later Brereton Diaz has the ball in the back of the net, but is adjudged to have been in an offside position. "Of course it disrupted us and Ryan (Giles) would have played higher up, it wasn't a disaster for us in the end but it is something that you have to cope with, that is why you have a squad of players. Rovers have travelled to the Hawthorns seeking their first win in three games after their quest to be in the top two has hit a bump in the road.
