West Brom midfielder makes claim about new system

West Brom drew on Saturday afternoon, with a 93rd minute equaliser from Adam Reach salvaged a point for the Baggies. 

Mowatt did not have his best game since arriving at the club in the summer. 

The midfielder is still struggling to adapt to the new manager, with Bruce having been appointed in early February.

“Second-half was better. But the Fulham game was a lot better. We need to keep going.”

“I think it’s easier for the back lads because they have played in a similar way for most of the season. I think we are better in that shape.”

West Brom went behind twice in a 2-2 draw with Nigel Pearson’s side. 

Karlan Grant equalised from the penalty spot in the 68th minute but Bristol City took the lead once again with only five minutes remaining through Andreas Weimann.

But it was Reach’s goal the secured a result from the game for the Baggies.

The gap to the play-off places is now seven points with eight games left this season.

Up next for West Brom is a trip to Birmingham City on April 3. 

Mowatt came to West Brom with Valerien Ismael in the summer from Barnsley.

That would’ve smoothed his transition to a new
