I don't like to admit it but Bruce is doing a good job there. People were saying eh would fail they be in bottom three but they are grinding results. They ain't going down this year. Bruce did do ok for us in his first full season to be fair. Not great but not bad either. I am surprised how well he's done so far as i thought they would average about 1 point a game but currently he's doing better than that and they haven't had an easy set of fixtures either. Well done Bruce, fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce was always going to steady the ship in normal circumstances. However, it was toxic upthere in Newcastle, and they weren't doing that good last season. Put that over the fact that Toon fans can't stand Bruce himself. I knew he will setup the team and won't be easy to beat. But he exceeded our expectations so far. Winning against top side (although they aren't doing good) but that have been understandable. Now they're beating teams around them so its much serious at the moment. The league is tight so far. Brighton who we won couple of weeks ago and went above them, have the chance to beat Utd and go to 5th! Newcastle improved their form in the best time with some easy fixtures coming. But this will be their huge challenge actually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Ciaran Clark is joint top scorer with 2 and 6 defenders have scored in the league for them. Its good the goals are being spread around but also indicates they are playing for set-pieces and not much in open play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Watched most of their game yesterday, other than the first 25 minutes or so they were the better team. Just isn't happening for the strikers at the moment but it will come. Hit the woodwork, keeper made some good saves, almiron had what would have been a good goal blocked by saint maximin. Almiron, saint maximin & yedlin were excellent yesterday Edited November 10, 2019 by LakotaDakota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 When Bruce was with us we had a tendency to go on good runs but then undo it by going on a equally bad run of form, wouldn't be surprised to see the same happen at Newcastle, can still see them being heavily involved in the relegation battle for much of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a bad idea putting money on Ciaran Clark scoring from a set piece as well. Hopefully he'll also chip in with an own goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Newcastle will be without captain Jamaal Lascelles for up to three months after he suffered knee ligament damage in the 2-1 win over Bournemouth. As much as I don't care to see players injured I hope this will derail them a bit. If it's true, it's the Daily Mail so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true, it's the Daily Mail so who knows They have Scharr/Fernandez/Clark to come in, all of comparable quality (ie: not that great). Not sure what his leadership qualities are like, but from a footballing perspective I don't think it's that big of a blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Schar is probably the best defender at the moment but he has been injured a bit recently too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they were losing 1-0 and playing crap when he went off after 20 minutes in the Bournemouth game so who knows what impact it may have. Him going off did seem to wake them up a bit as they were much the better side for the rest of the game. Dummett replaced him & did ok and he has played 20+ games for each of the past few years so may not be a huge upheaval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
