I'm not allowed to say he's failing when he is? That's pretty much your argument, isn't it? Don't say a bad word. It won't be tolerated. That's fine, but that's blind support, which if that's who you are then I'm happy you are happy. You think i'm critical of him? I'm critical of everything in life, I wish I was different, save me a lot of inner turmoil.

I'm not saying he should listen to me. Just that my opinions aren't that far fetched. On here though, it's either black or white, you aren't allowed grey. Its weird AF, always been the same.

I support him, bar a Sunderland loss, i'll take top ten this season and go again next season. Is that not a low enough bar like for our best ever manager in 20 years?

Or I've kept it the same and read the warning signs when people refused to. People cannot handle that on here, must be right at all costs, so try to belittle me like you're doing now. I'm used to it, couldn't give a shit, tbh. Had Eddie addressed my concerns several weeks ago we wouldn't be in this position. Always felt this was a test for him. Throwing the players under the bus at this stage when he's ran them into the ground is poor from him. 1st time I've actually thought he may not get through this. All I've said all along is if he loses against Sunderland, then he should go. I've never wanted him to, I've always wanted him to pull through and thought it wouldn't happen. But players are coming back, performances are getting worse and he's trotting out lines from the Steve Bruce book of management. Someone said on here moons ago, every manager is the same when they're losing, I hand on heart never thought that of Eddie, until today. I'm actually more upset about that than the performance and result, which was his worst as an NUFC manager.

It's not me doing this, its him. He's cracking under the pressure. I fucking told you all a few weeks ago this was a test for him. I was laughed at. He's failing this test. I hate to see it. I'd rather be wrong and have my posts dragged up and called whatever. It's really sad to see, but worse is, people who can't handle calling out the obvious, and must deflect at any cost.

Yup. Bullshit quotes. Irony being everyone ready to allow him to spend his banked credit.

Nope. You can tell the players aren't either.

And yet that's what i'd be happy with for him to have next season, with the caveat of beating the mackems. Though that seems to be too much demand for some on here. Crazy.

Was the same under pardew. Cant criticise or mention obvious issues or you'll be hounded. Think today a few have seen what others have been saying.

Beat the mackems and finish top 10. I'll snap your hand off for it and quite happy for him go again with a larger squad next season.

Every counter has pretty much gone out the window today. Play well at home. No players to choose from. Beat teams below us. All gone.

I have to, otherwise people put words in your mouth.

Lose to the mackems and he has to go. I don't want him gone, but he's overseeing this run to that, no one else. There's enough fit players to be not playing as badly as this. Everyone else is playing the same amount of games now. Pray with everything I've got, he gets a result against them, but right now, its 50-50.

Naa man, just unlucky. These bastards are just countering, it's not fair.

Steve Bruce levels, this.

Been used as an excuse, now in their heads, everything can be written off as not their fault.

Will get spanked off the mackems.

This is nowt to do with fatigue.

It's alright lads, Botman will be back soon and we'll not concede anymore.

Ok mate.

It's almost like we don't believe they are allowed to counter. Some of the weakest tactical display i've seen from us in years.

shame he's our only option or you'd want him sold asap.

Again, this is disgusting.

Another disgusting performance.

Absolutely fucking pathetic.
