# Newcastle United: Some fans are warming to Steve Bruce after comeback against Bournemouth

**Newcastle’s comeback against Bournemouth has seen the Magpies jump up to 13th, having taken [seven points from the last nine](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjO1NW569_lAhVKQ8AKHSc0BEMQFjABegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fsport%2Ffootball%2Fteams%2Fnewcastle-united%2Fscores-fixtures&usg=AOvVaw0Mt1F034OeHcaVlPRPJ_KU) available. Steve Bruce [wasn’t exactly welcomed](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjmt7mX7d_lAhVRecAKHdOFBKsQwqsBMAl6BAgJEAc&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FSkySports%2Fvideos%2Fnewcastle-fans-on-steve-bruce%2F726273887809621%2F&usg=AOvVaw2uXYP3fN1Gva1hxFHQEpfv) by the St James’ Park faithful after the departure of Rafa Benitez left a sour taste in the mouth, but recent results are working towards building a more positive relationship between the manager and the fans.**

Despite [complaints of defensive football](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everything-opposing-fans-said-newcastle-17083268), they’ve still [scored more goals this season than Crystal Palace](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiL75Wp7N_lAhVUSsAKHYEZA5kQFjABegQIABAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.premierleague.com%2Ftables&usg=AOvVaw1c9sXfNwpZEyY6u03M-R9I), 11 to 10, and Palace are sometimes spoken of as this [exciting side](https://www.football365.com/news/cahill-discusses-move-to-a-good-exciting-crystal-palace) with a very exciting wide man in the form of Wilfried Zaha.

Newcastle’s official Twitter account posted a tweet which read “big three points! Thank you for your support today & enjoy the rest of your weekend!”, and fans took the opportunity to express how pleased they were that Steve Bruce was getting some wins under his belt. It really seems like they’re warming to him, even if it is in a sarcastic way at times.
