Andy Carroll has praised his new boss Steve Bruce for the recent changes made to training sessions at West Brom.

The veteran coach is yet to win in charge of his new club after two games, however did pick up an impressive point against Blackburn in their last outing. And striker Carroll has revealed that off the pitch, Bruce has already began making positive changes.
Speaking to Express&Star, the 33-year-old forward admitted the players are enjoying the new training regime under Bruce.
He said: “The training he (Bruce) puts on is sharp and intense and the lads are really enjoying it.
“There is a lot of small-sided games which the gaffer likes to do to allow competition among the lads.
“I’ve had managers in the past who haven’t liked playing five-v-five or six-v-six games.

The former Newcastle boss has also brought in punishes for those that lose training matches to increase competitiveness. Carroll admitted he is pleased to have avoided being on the losing side so far.
“The day before a game, the worst player in those games has to bring the shower gels in. Thankfully, I haven’t been on the losing team yet.
