Sheffield Wednesday stopper Keiren Westwood has come into their starting line-up of late.
Westwood was rarely picked under Luhukay, with the Dutch boss favouring Cameron Dawson to start in goal for Wednesday.
It was a decision was made very little sense at the time, and Wednesday fans used it as one of their main criticisms towards Luhukay.
However, since the Luhukay has departed, Westwood has been re-instated at the Owls’ number one.
And Bruce’s comments suggest that Westwood is certainly his first choice stopper at Hillsborough.
“I had ‘Westy’ at Sunderland when he was younger. Obviously there was a time when he was not playing this season. It is not for me to comment on what has happened in the past,” Bruce said.
“People can dissect me and what I did wrong at Aston Villa or whatever, but a little bit of experience has helped the situation along the way.
“I do believe that we have two young goalkeepers (Cameron Dawson and Joe Wildsmith) below him who are very, very good goalkeepers. That is always good to have.”
Bruce’s words will go down well at Wednesday, as Westwood is clearly their most reliable goalkeeper.
Dawson may have a great deal of potential, but he made errors over the first half of the campaign, and Westwood remains one of the most talented keeps in the Championship.
Wednesday got off to a winning start under Bruce, and will be looking to carry that momentum on with a win against Reading at the weekend.
