I think he'll see out the season then go upstairs. Can't see him being here next season either way.

 

Still got a year on his deal hasn’t he? He’s going nowhere unless he’s paid as his only motivation is lining his family’s pockets.

Still no talk at all in the media of him getting a new one.

Well the rumour was (or was it started here??) that one of the Longstaff’s told him he was a shit coach and had shit tactics. ?

 

If anything even remotely close to that actually happened, they’ll be the focus of his petty resentment. Hendrick will get a pass.

No excuse as to why neither were on bench today though? Neither were injured as far as I remember.

 

He's allowed 9 subs ffs, even if naming 7 subs, it stood out as bad decision that you wouldn't put either on bench and leave Anderson who's only ever played 20 first team mins as only central midfield option**

 

(**frustrating that because we're s***, we're never in a situation that we are controlling a game, or seeing 10/20 mins out in the lead where we can give game time to young players like Anderson)

The Longstaffs dad has had a go at Bruce. Turned up to training and called him out on everything, specifically highlighting why Shelvey and Hendrick played.

Said there is no chance he would pick a player in his team if the offered what Shelvey and Hendrick do, for the record he’s the manager of Whitley Bay Warriors.

That would have been an amusing scene to witness. Probably totally blind to how awful his offspring have been though. As bad as Hendrick and Shelvey are, both Longstaffs have been worse (this season)

 

Don’t look fit or interested. It’s hard to make a case for them.

 

It’s such a dramatic rise and fall, especially Sean.

Nail on head if he thinks or did that it’s truly embarrassing

If that's true, and has happened as said, it's embarrassing on all involved - even both Longstaffs.

 

Sounds too hilarious to believe, in my eyes.

 

That being said, Sean is 23 now. Rafa didn't give him a chance till post 20, if was such a talent that's going to forge a career in PL he'd have 150+ games behind at his age by now.

 

Really hope Matty and Sean do go on have great careers, whether with us or someone else - but you canny be having your Dad turn up at training.

 

However much of a braindead marshmellow Bruce is, Get your heads down lads. Work harder, get better  :)  :lol:

Thing is, some of the players (such as the Longstaffs) being touted as shite under Bruce were actually reasonable under Rafa, so I'm willing to look past their current form as they're just not getting the chance to develop their skills as useful squad players.

 

Hendrick's still wank mind.

For what it’s worth their dad didn’t go there to have it out with Bruce, he went to pick up Matty from the training ground and helped Matty ask if he could be loaned out. Bruce denied it whilst also saying that he was way down the pecking order and then said something disrespectful about them both.

Bruce 100% had it coming.

I get the impression Bruce is just going through the motions now, he has a weak boss in Charnley who wont stand up to him and Jones looks after the team, he's just a PR guy now and I think if he was offered a payout he would take their hands off.

I wonder if he will rest some of our key players for next 2 games, especially after the slog of a game yesterday in the boggy rain with 9 men to avoid anymore injuries.

Thinking Almiron and ASM.

 

I know we should go for every game but is there an argument to park the bus a little while we have no Wilson and no fit defenders and try and steal a draw against Chelsea and Man u?

 

Then we have 2 massive winnable games against wolves and west brom and could hopefully be close to full strength minus maybe schar and manquillo.

Find it quite baffling that neither were prepared to go out on loan. Surely playing every week at a team dominating possession near the top of the Championship would have done them the world of good.

I don’t think they are good enough to start for a team at the top end of the championship tbh.

Sean Longstaff is 23 now and has been missing a good manager who can develop and guide him in the years he needed it most. Will be a squad player at best in a PL team or a decent championship player.

 

Matty Longstaff is a few years younger and need to play games now to develop. Either at Newcastle, I don't think he's any worse than Shelvey right now and definitly better than Hendrick. Or he should've been loaned out to a championship team and get games every week.

 

Matty has a big chance to become a regular at Newcastle but need to get games now and need another manager.
