Speaking straight after the game at St Andrews, Bruce said, "I have just said to the staff that, with a bit of luck, we could well have taken something off Blackburn last week and then we would have seven points which would have been a wonderful start."
"As it is, I've got to look back and be satisfied. If we keep maintaining that sort of performance - because that's what it will take - then we could be OK.
"It was a similar performance from us against Blackburn but things didn't go for us. But that's the standard they've set and we've got to maintain it.
"Everyone was disappointed in midweek when we conceded a goal in the last 20 seconds. There were a lot of disappointed faces in the dressing room.
"We had to pick ourselves up from that and all credit to the players for producing an unbelievable performance to beat a very good team.
"The spirit and commitment was again first class. Robbie Savage and Aliou Cisse started us off and Damien Johnson has played well again.
"That was also Paul Devlin's first game in the Premiership and he thinks it's easy! That will give us the belief that if we maintain that, we can do alright."
