Newcastle United fans have been reacting to the performance of Matt Ritchie during their preseason game against Rotherham United.
With just under three weeks to go until the first game of the Premier League season, time is running out for the players to stake their claim for a place in the first team under Steve Bruce, or to at least start to string some good performances together in the hopes that next season might go better for them than the last one when there was a very real danger of them getting relegated.
However, one player who didn’t seem to be doing his best to try and make things better, at least according to the fans online, was the Scotland international, who was playing right wing-back for the game, and there were plenty of fans who ripped into him for his display in the first half.
Do you think Newcastle will get relegated if they don't sign any players this summer?
Yes
No
Thankfully this is only a friendly rather than a league game or a cup competition where something is at stake, but surely this must come as a bit of a warning sign that things need to improve drastically at the club.
