Newcastle United’s attacking trio of Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron have badly struggled this season.
Newcastle are due to take on Manchester City tomorrow, and there have been calls for Bruce to freshen up his attack.
Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron have scored just one goal between them for Newcastle.
However, it seems that Bruce will stick by his side’s current attack for now.
“The question people are always going to ask is how long do you wait to change it,” Bruce said.
“I’d been delighted with the front three before Villa but obviously, we all want them to score. It’s about getting that balance right. For now, I’ll persevere with them.”
The comments have not gone down well with Newcastle supporters, who were hoping for change.
In fairness to Bruce his options are fairly limited right now, especially with Matt Ritchie, who could play down a wing, out injured.
However, Bruce has refused to start Dwight Gayle and has also overlooked the likes of Christian Atsu to stick by Newcastle’s current front three.
The Magpies are currently in 14th place in the Premier League table, but a defeat to City could leave them closer to the relegation zone.
