    It doesn't matter he doesn't make them better in training.. He doesn't do anything upto standard.

    We're getting beat at Palace and home to Chelsea... Then the replacement will probably be appointed

    This is mental. He’s still here. We’re 19th, Ashley is gone and Bruce is still here. I’m ****ing astonished to be honest: I’m really getting pretty ****ing angry and concerned.

    I'm not even bothered.

    It's day 14 of 10 years

    They had no pre planning time, but they're here and no matter what happens this season in a few years nufc will be right up there.

    I think it could work against most formations these days. solid back line, creativity in midfield and 2 up top. No more being pinned in our own box

    Exactly.

    Good lord, it's like none of you have watched football before. Under Bruce/Ashley, that's perhaps understandable, but EVERY time we play two of our ****ty midfielders we get over-run in midfield. We MUST have 3 in the middle, and even then it'll be difficult because Bruce keeps picking the wrong ones so they get no time to gel together.

    It's why, even when we play 5 at the back, teams score against us for fun because there's just two in the middle who are both so poor they get played around. 4-4-2 would be an absolute disaster; where's Max going to play? As a lazy left winger leaving Lewis 2v1? Or as a striker, and out of position? Joelinton equally isn't going to do well as a LM. And in midfield, who are we playing? Lazy disinterested Willock, who's weak as piss, alongside committed but poor Hayden?! Teams would just walk through that, have huge gaps out wide and be able to easily play between the lines.

    3-5-2 makes a bit of sense, but Bruce can't work out how to play it correctly so we end up unbalanced. 4-3-3 suits the personnel we have, the ones who can at least play football. Again, we're a bit knackered because Bruce doesn't know what he's doing (and obviously taking most of the week off, so how we're supposed to learn how to do it is beyond me) but if we at least played to our strengths it gives us a chance.

    A guy who is a fairly solid ITK on Newcastle Online says Bruce has been told today he's gone.

    Good and let's hope it's the case.

    Then whoever comes in won't be good enough for some people, but I'll be happy with anyone of the names linked at this stage.

    No complaints from me I refuse to moan about things.
