Haycock's appointment comes little more than a year after Bruce launched an investigation into the number of injuries his side suffered during his first season at the club.

Although Newcastle were down on soft tissue injuries, in 2019-20, Bruce admitted his players were having to adjust to a different style of training.

"All the sport scientists, doctors and nutritionists, we have analysed what we do," he said last September.

"To be fair, we do ask them to work hard in training with a certain intensity, which has changed over the last 12 months. A new manager has different philosophies and a different way of training.

"Most of our injuries happen in games and the big ones, which a lot of people missed out on with this, just happened in a match and were impact. There's not much you can do about that."

 

 

eh, doesnt that just suggest that bruce needs to update his training regimes and that rafa knew what he was doing?

explains a lot.

Maybe if we had real training and recovery facilities instead of wheelie bins and splash pools we'd have a better record with soft tissue injuries.

Have these people actually watched Newcastle this season ? the pro Bruce comments after every game are getting to be nothing more than a joke, "did well against a very good West Ham team" "Villa have spent a lot of money this season" "Dyche can always drag a result out of nothing" "a whisker away from beating Southampton" "Ronaldo" "Great point against Leeds" its just so predictable now and the Pro Bruce camp debate's harder than the anti Bruce.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a manager get so much sympathy for doing a horrendous job.

 

It’s incredible how many ‘Steve is a good man and deserves better than Ashley’ stories have been pushed. 
 

When a team is so bad, the results are so awful, the performances are so consistently dreadful then the question should always be ‘is the manager good enough?’ 

 

Yet we get fed ‘Steve is stuck with the situation’ or ‘Steve should walk away from the job for his own good’.
 

You honestly never get this at any other club.

This is Mike Ashley, he does everything opposite how normal clubs work. 

Yep. He always always always makes the wrong decision. Has done for 14 years and will do until the day he leaves.

He needs to be a human shield and keep Newcastle in the league cheaply with no complaints, in Ashley's eyes he's doing a fuckin cracking job.

“We were ten seconds away at Southampton. And if we had took them two extra points we would be sitting on five or six, in mid-table, thinking ‘not a bad start'. We’ve got to still work at it."

 

Maths with Steve. 2 + 2 = 6.

It's like when someone you have always associated as overweight loses a tonne and their head just looks too big for their body and you were happier for them to be fat.

 

See Chris Moyle or Kevin Smith

There was an N64 game where all the players had been given a speed value of something between like 60 and 99, but due to a bug Bryan Robson (then player-manager at Boro) had been given a speed value of 6 instead of 60, and so if you played him he would move at an i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-y slow speed, including when going to take set peices or anything and the game would just grind to a halt as this old guy slowly shuffled towards the ball for 7 minutes.
