How much was Willock ?The fundamental problem at Newcastle is simple. They live in the past.
And it's not just the "flash in the pan in the 90s past" but the recent past.
They drew today. Because the current set of players were not good enough to beat fellow strugglers Watford. At home
For whatever reason in the 90+ minutes that followed kickoff, those players were not good enough to beat Watford. They didn't do enough. They didn't pass well enough, create chances, make enough tackles or score enough goals.Simple as that.
But Newcastle fans can't accept that their level is drawing at home with Watford. Instead, it's "blame the past". It's Bruce's fault, it's Ashley's fault.
Ashley spent more money on Joelinton alone... than the average mag will have in a lifetime. But he "underinvested". Staveley spends 20million on Chris Wood and she is suddenly "ambitious".
Bruce is not a world class manager, but under him Lascelles was in a squad that ended up staying up. So much so that he was being mentioned as potentially an England player. His inability to play football today was not "Bruce's fault"
Under Bruce, Willock was on fire. Kept the club up. The fact he was on the bench today is not "Bruce's fault".
But yeah, they'll live in the past. Blame Bruce. Blame Ashley. Blame anyone
