Steve Bruce insists Newcastle need to improve on mid-table finishes

Watford v Newcastle United – Premier League – Vicarage Road

Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce marked his one-year anniversary at the club by insisting it is wrong to even consider settling for mid-table respectability.

The club are well clear of relegation trouble in 13th place and while Bruce has set his sights on being top of the bottom half after their final two matches he believes that should provide a platform for greater achievement.
