(Reuters) - Embattled Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce took responsibility for the Premier League club's poor run of form and said on Friday that he had no choice but to accept the criticism that has come his way in recent weeks.

Newcastle are 15th in the standings after a winless run of six games and Bruce has come under increasing pressure after bottom side Sheffield United beat them to claim their first victory of the season earlier this week.
