āThe discontent among our fanbase is completely justified.Ā
āFan optimism is at a serious low and Newcastle United is in serious danger of being relegated for a third time under the current owner.ā
Meanwhile, there was better news for Bruce on the injury front this week with Joe Willock avoiding serious damage after being forced off during the 2-1 defeat at Wolves with a hip complaint.Ā
Sources say the Ā£22million midfielder should be fine to face Spurs a week on Sunday.Ā
