Brunt: West Brom season has been shambles

West Bromwich Albion captain Chris Brunt has branded this season a "shambles".

WBA are safe from the drop, despite defeat at Arsenal yesterday.

Brunt told the Express & Star: "We will be bitterly disappointed with a poor season for various reasons.

"On and off the field it's been a bit of a shambles from all sorts of angles.

"It's difficult to put your finger on what has gone wrong for us this season.

"But we've been under pressure for a long time and if we do stay up we've got to take it as a positive achievement because when you're down there and things aren't going for you it's difficult to get out of that rut but over the last few weeks we've done that.

"You only have to look at the standard of the teams coming up from the Championship and how long it's taken Leicester to get themselves back up.

"I have played there (the Championship) and I know how tough a league it is. You get a lot of teams who go down and you don't see them again for a long time so that's definitely something we don't want to toy with again.

"We've been pretty close this year and if we don't learn from that we won't learn from anything."
