Some Newcastle fans react to Wilson comments on Bruce

Some Newcastle United fans were reacting after Callum Wilson made some comments about Steve Bruce.

What’s the story?

In an interview with Alan Shearer, the ex-Bournemouth ace lavished praise on the coach Graeme Jones

The 51-year-old was added to Bruce’s backroom staff back on January 27th.

And his impact was felt by the club, who ended up finishing in 14th place in the Premier League.

The Geordies enjoyed a strong end to the season and Wilson believes it’s all due to the figure. It was claimed Newcastle developed more of a philosophy and style towards the end of last campaign.

When talking about Jones, : “I think Graeme Jones coming in as a coach (in January), definitely complemented the manager because he’s a little bit more tactically aware and up to date, whereas the manager has his different strengths and attributes.”

“When you see the results towards the back end of the season and the way we were in games, we had more of a style and philosophy. That will happen from the start of the season with a good coach around to help out the previous coaches.”

Jones has changed Newcastle amid Wilson claims on Bruce

Jones has had a great impact on Newcastle amid claims from Wilson over Bruce.

The difference between the club pre and post-January is chalk and cheese.

From midfielders bursting beyond the forward line to a more solid defence, everything changed from Jones’ arrival.

Mere coincidence? Or was the England coach a massive part of the change?

It would seem to be the latter, according to Wilson.

And this is what the fans thought of his comments…
