Since Christmas, no team in the Premier League has won fewer points than Newcastle United, and it’s not hard to see why the murmurings of discontent are getting louder in the North East.
Newcastle equalised at Old Trafford in their most recent league outing, but the hosts would eventually brush them aside to win 3-1 without leaving third gear – expected goals: MUN 1.69 – 0.45 NEW.
That result condemned the Magpies to their 14th defeat of the season and, worryingly, only West Brom (15) and Sheffield United (20) have lost more games than Newcastle this term.
Steve Bruce has undoubtedly taken the club backwards, and his failure to compete tactically in England’s top flight have been ruthlessly exposed.
Score prediction: Newcastle 0-1 Wolves ()
