Honey Honey Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Enormous game. The more I look at our fixtures the more I wince. But then I look at Brighton's and think OK they're in similar position fixture wise. We need to bloody win but I just know we'll play for a point.

If you loose and Fulham win they will go ahead of you. You will have a game in hand but you will have to win that game in hand. Even a draw and a Fulham win puts you in the bottom 3 on goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more worried about accumulation of points than where we are. Though dropping into the bottom 3 would be symbolic and the clubs fav journo did say Bruce would be sacked only if we did.

He's ideal for a relegation battle. When everybody's injured I'm surprised Bruce doesn't just play him through the middle. Or in a two with Joelinton given that's what he's done pre Newcastle. Must be beyond irritating for the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be beyond irritating for the fan base. Gayle did well back end of last season. However Bruce is insisting on this "split strikers" as he calls it, where Gayle plays right wing or centre mid when questioned he said he won't change his style. No point in Gayle playing if we won't change this formation. This is an abysmal first half. The approach to the game is horrendous. We are playing to shithouse and its out of the window now.

Whiskey Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I've been watching Netflix, so missed the first half but just turned the game on now and Sky are saying Brighton have had 200 more passes than Newcastle? Fucking hell. Knew that Brighton would win this one, it's a monumental game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I'm hoping Newcastle go down. Nothing against them I just like fulham and Brighton. Do feel sorry for their fans though.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The XG kings slaying the most uninspiring team in the league. Honestly, Newcastle aren't even playing like a team who want to avoid relegation. Tactics aside, Fulham and Brighton are at least playing for their lives.

Redcanuck Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Newcastle have been terrible today, they have made Brighton look like a top team. If the Newcastle players can't get motivated for this game, you wonder if the players have given up on Bruce. I can't see him surviving long as Newcastle's manager.

Honey Honey Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Bruce should have been sacked after the Brentford game months ago. It's probably too late now, the damage is done. Still, I don't see how he can survive that. I said 4 games ago we need 8pts from the next 4. We got 3pts. It's like being a prisoner when your ownership and board won't react to how the community thinks and feels. Sacking Bruce might not stop us going down but at least we could have a psychological break from this trapped sensation. 2 wins in 20. Bruce out.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted March 20, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted March 20, 2021 The misery of supporting Newcastle is actually unimaginable. I want them to be in the top flight as a neutral but in their current form they're just totally depressing. Bruce should definitely go but even then I don't see what comes next that leads to any marked improvement. Surely the least appealing job in the Premier League by some distance.

DNA Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 That final day fixture against Fulham will certainly be one to watch, elsewhere... I can’t see the top 4 race being interesting at that stage of the season currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Honey Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 You have to say, for the Premier League and football in general it will be interesting to see what comes of Brighton and Fulham, Potter and Parker, so we should be sent down. We changed our style not long back and started to play better football, then we lost our front 3 and we decided we'd keep the same shape rather than make it about the players we had available.
