This bit about Rafa nails it:

''The constant comparisons are draining and fuel a sense that there are those who are happy to see Newcastle struggle because it proves how great the former manager was. They cannot move on, do not want to move on and will try to make sure nobody else at Newcastle is able to do so either.''
Bang on. I said before, they're acting like a lovesick teenager who has been dumped by some lass he worshiped. Nothing else will ever be as good for them.
 

If (and probably when) things get really bad under Bruce and you all turn on him en masse (and probably with good reason), be prepared for the media onslaught against the fans. Bruce has a lot of mates in the media who won't have a single bad word said against him, no matter how poor he is
"Wor team huffed and puffed, but it wasn't enough"
 
These two quotes sum it up perfectly I reckon:

"The reality is, though, even those who are only now publicly turning on Bruce had already made up their mind he would be hopeless. Did they want this to happen? Maybe not, but now that it has, they will take great pleasure in telling everyone I told you so."

"And all this is played out to the tune of “Rafa Benitez did this, Rafa would have done that, nothing like this happened under Rafa, Rafa had a plan, Rafa won the Champions League…”

The supporters are handing the players an excuse on a golden platter.
 
We look nailed on for relegation. A <20 point season wouldn't surprise me TBH.

However, I think that Mr Ross needs to sort a few things. 6 shots on target in 3 games is hardly a team pushing for promotion, before we end in the same league.
Keep grasping there.
