He put some decent foundations in place, we started the season with several of his players in the starting XI, though by the end of the season there were only a few players left who were regulars. There would have been more, but Hobbs was out for half the season and Fryatt was out for the entire season. Faye, Aluko, Elmo, Quinn, Brady, Meyler, Boyd and Gedo were all Bruce signings and were all instrumental in getting us up. Though Pearson left us in a much better place than he found us, it was definitely Bruce who was responsible for taking us up.
