Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce expressed his displeasure after his team was held to a 2-2 draw by Southampton on Saturday.
Newcastle had a chance of picking the three points on the day but was undone by a last gasp equalizer from James Ward-Prowse something that didn't please their fans who booed them after the full-time whistle.
In his post-match interview, Bruce said the fans were entitled to their own opinion but admitted that their first half performance wasn't good enough.
“Look, they're entitled to their opinion. Our first-half performance wasn't good enough, so I'll accept that. In the second half, we were a bit more like ourselves, we played with a bit more intensity, we passed the ball to each other better and maybe did enough to win the match. But it was a disappointing afternoon all around.
“I have to say, it wouldn't have taken much to be better than we were in the first half, so I have to accept that. But the second half, we showed a bit more intensity. We took the lead twice again today, we took the lead twice against West Ham, but we've only got one point to show for it."
A man just told Steve Bruce to get out of the club. Steve pulled over to have it out with him. Heard some home truths and had nothing to say back them. #nufc
