Steve Bruce says he can't forgive his Newcastle players for their performance against Norwich City on Sunday.

The Magpies were blown away by three goals to one at Carrow Road.

"I can't go on to the pitch with them but the one thing in management I've always tried to instil into my team is we make mistakes but I can't forgive a performance where basically you don't put your boots on," Bruce told reporters.

"Unfortunately, it's happened already, which is the second game in, but I'll do all I can to make sure that changes."
