Steve Bruce says £40million striker Joelinton must “stick at it” at Newcastle United.
The striker drew a blank as his team was held to a 1-1 draw in a third-round FA Cup tie by Rochdale.
Joelinton had three chances at Spotland, where Aaron Wilbraham cancelled out Miguel Almiron’s strike.
“He had a disappointing time,” said head coach Bruce. “He’s got to stick at it, and play his way through.
“Up to two weeks ago, Almiron hadn’t scored. He’s got to stay with it.”
