That prompted Bruce to make a change with youngster Quevin Castro replacing Reach in the middle of the park. The half continued in a similar pattern from that point with Swansea neat and tidy on the ball but limited in the final third. And that proved to be the case with the 61-year-old opting to make just one change from the team that fell to defeat at Middlesbrough.

The West Bromwich Albion fans who showered their team with boos for the umpteenth time this season may reflect that if their club had taken a different ...

But the only aspect of Wilder’s character that really mattered was his ability to inspire players. In their two most recent seasons outside the top flight, Albion never dropped below fourth place. Bruce has all but given up on the play-offs and his comments about his players after the recent defeat at Luton — ‘We have to do more, and in particular you have to have the ability to roll up your sleeves a bit more and show something’ — suggest a summer clear-out is on the cards. The problem for Albion is that in Bruce’s month at the helm, form has deteriorated, with only a single goal to go with the one point earned.
