Dwight Gayle Critiques Steve Bruce’s Tactics and Training

Former Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle has openly criticized the tactics and training methods employed by ex-manager Steve Bruce during his tenure at the club. In a series of recent interviews, Gayle shared amusing anecdotes and expressed his dissatisfaction with Bruce's approach, which he described as lacking in tactical depth. According to Gayle, Bruce once humorously admitted to his players that they should not expect sophisticated tactics from him, focusing instead on basic strategies.

Gayle's comments come in the wake of a broader discussion about managerial styles at Newcastle, with comparisons drawn between Bruce's methods and those of his successors. The striker also praised the 'four non-negotiables' introduced by current manager Eddie Howe, which he believes have significantly improved the team's performance and morale. Additionally, Gayle highlighted the positive impact of Graeme Jones, who served as interim manager and played a crucial role in steadying the ship during a turbulent period for the club.
