Steve Bruce’s side have won just once in their last six, leading these Newcastle United fans to doubt the manager’s ability to lead the team.
The Magpies currently sit one point above the relegation zone and have only managed to score six goals. Only Watford have scored fewer goals with five in 10 Premier League games [WhoScored].
Newcastle’s only wins this season have come against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, which both ended 1-0.
FULL TIME: Newcastle United 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1#NUFC – who finished the game with ten men after Sean Longstaff’s dismissal – struck first through Jamaal Lascelles, but were denied all three points by Jonny’s equaliser.

6 goals in 10 games though
This is a serious problem, this team has no goals in it. Maybe we’ll beat Derby’s record of 20 goals in a season.

Bruce OUT

Newcastle have an average possession of just 37.9% this season, however, the Magpies still manage a respectable 9.4 shots per game ratio [WhoScored].
Pathetic second half as per usual. Practically had the entire team sat on our own goal line, them makes subs with 89 minutes played. Well done

What Do We Think?
Clearly, Bruce has lost the backing of the fans however he has not been sacked yet, so the 58-year-old still has time to get a result against West Ham United next time out. You can blame players all day, but it’s the manager who is responsible for picking the starting XI and the tactics used throughout the game.
Luckily for Bruce, the next three fixtures are all winnable games, playing West Ham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa. Nevertheless, his luck could quickly change if the results continue to elude him, in these games especially.
