Newcastle and West Brom fans react as Steve Bruce's dismal record continues

Newcastle United fans have been quick to point out former manager Steve Bruce is still looking for his first win of the season.

The 61-year-old took charge of Championship side West Bromwich Albion with the Baggies in sixth place, but one point from a possible nine has seen the midlands side slip to 11th in the table.

The Toon Army came under criticism for their treatment of the former Magpies boss during his time at the club, but supporters are adamant they were right to call for him to be sacked.

Eddie Howe has transformed the Newcastle squad in a short period of time, with the Magpies currently unbeaten in six games, moving four points clear of the relegation zone.

West Brom fans have also criticised the recent displays by their side, claiming Newcastle fans warned them about Bruce's tactics.

Here's what fans had to say on social media:

@Davy_Craig tweeted: "I see that Steve Bruce has taken West Brom from 5th to 11th. 1 point from 9. He does a great job, though!

@AllAlbionAction tweeted: "This is what a Steve Bruce team looks like. You knew this. Newcastle fans told you this. You didn’t want him here in the first place. Just because you tried to induce Stockholm syndrome onto your brain and convince yourself to get behind the manager, doesn’t change anything."
