Bruce bemoans failings

22 August 2010 14:00
Sunderland manager Steve Bruce lamented his team's inability to contain Peter Odemwingie's threat as his men lost 1-0 at West Brom. The Baggies debutant was a menace all afternoon at the Hawthorns, and eventually netted the winner nine minutes from the end. "The goal sums our afternoon up - the boy is in between us again," Bruce said. "We spoke about that at half-time because we had had a warning shot in the first five or 10 minutes. "But all afternoon the boy played in between our two centre-backs, we didn't pick him up and we have been punished for it."
