Gorillacop
Central Defender
Nah, it won't be pretty and it will be tight but can't see you finishing bottom.....reckon you will just about cobble enough points against those around the mid-lower end to stay up, Lejeune & Schar look ok and Saint Maxim and Joelinton although risks look an exciting couple of attacking players, midfield and what happens once you get underneath the first 11 has to be a big concern like.
I do feel the atmosphere has changed though, previously despite the views on the owner the team on the pitch, in the main, has been backed don't think that is necessarily the case this season, how you start will be massive
That’s all well and good till you factor in the manager .
We will be one or two injuries away from relegation all season, there lies the problem, yes the owner has backed Bruce now it’s time to scrape 17th , rinse and repeat, it will do for me as that’s what we are and will be for years if not always, the top clubs are away and gone and the middle bunch are inching away too.Another 2 windows like this and I will believe we can compete mid table.
You were on here last week bragging about how Bruce is assembling a decent squad
He is , but factor in the toxic atmosphere and these players could be anything in truth, it could go the other way of course but I’m a Newcastle fan and expect the worst.
