Guest Wearside Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Big last 7 games for Bruce,failure to finish in top 10 will not go down well with Ellis Short. Difficult to put a finger on what is going on but we undoubtably have good players but Bruce is not getting the best out of them and these next 7 games are massive for Bruce,these are games we are expected to win and like I say failure to finish top 10 could spell the end of Bruce's reign. Good to see this thread resurrected though,going above Sunderland must be a big thing for Newcastle fans these days,how times have changed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The reaction to going above you wouldn't have been half as big if it hadn't been all the talk of Europe, how good you are etc. pre January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't we talk about Europe,we had been in 6/7th place for a lot of the season so it's only natural people get their hopes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see this thread resurrected though,going above Sunderland must be a big thing for Newcastle fans these days,how times have changed. Why are you expected to win these next 7 games? Out of the 7 opponents remaining, you's only managed to beat two of them (Bolton and West Ham, both at the SoS) when you played them earlier in the season, when Sunderland were 'allegedly' doing better then now? Almost all of the 7 teams are also fighting for their lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wearside Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 For a start 4 of the games are at home and we have a better squad on paper than West Brom,Fulham,Wigan and Wolves,home games against these sort of teams come into the "expected to win" bracket and with the money we've spent are teams we should be beating.Birmingham away is another game that on paper we have a much better squad than and the other 2 away games at Bolton and West Ham will be more difficult. I realise most of these teams are fighting for there lives but that doesn't alter the fact that these games are ones we should be winning with the team we have.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The team you have? Who are these supposed players that are so good? You say you've got a better team than Fulham on paper but you don't have players as good as Hangeland, Dempsey or Dembele. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The sooner your players realise they aint too good to go down the more chance you have of winning these games.They aren't showing any fight whereas these teams are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wearside Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not saying we are going to win all 4 home games,I'm saying we "should" be beating teams like those at home,these next 7 will either make or break Bruce's time as Sunderland manager.

BlueStar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 these next 7 will either make or break Bruce's time as Sunderland manager.
