# These Newcastle fans react as Bruce aims dig at the supporters

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce says that he needs to get results to stop fans complaining about performances on the pitch.

The former Sunderland boss says that the buck stops with him, but also claims that things have been sensationalised.

### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

Bruce says that he needs results to shut people up, but has so far produced 0 points from his opening two Premier League games as well as two poor performances.

To aim a dig at the supporters after losing 3-1 to a newly-promoted side whilst playing defensive football is far from the smartest move by Bruce, as backed up by the responses from Newcastle fans to his comments.

With Spurs away coming up next, it could get worse for Bruce if he fails to pick up a result against the Champions League finalists from last season…
