Fucking McTom will probably ruin the happiness.

Gk was proper Onono

Get in!

Evans going down even easier than Longstaff.

Just seen it once but how is that even a pen?

Barely touched him slightly touched under his foot

How has Olise been playing? Brace I see.

Is he injured often? Very good signing otherwise imo.

I’m pretty sure that Howe knows that’s it not the entire fan base saying it. I’m also certain that he both knows and accepts that it’s a part of football when things don’t go too well. Nothing to make a meal out of.

I can see us going on a good run. However, I honestly believe that a couple of quality signings is needed if we are to have a really really strong second half of the season. Mostly because of the psychological aspect. It would give the rest of the squad a massive massive positive and lift spirits greatly. Secondly, to improve quality. A lot can happen in half a season. I just hope we get the players in early. If we are looking to get anyone in. Quality is key.

Could very well be right. Not sure Howe likes your typical creative players though. I hope he does, because we need it to get to the next level.

Even if they “can” play there it would make us too predictable. Just with better quality than now. Not that much better in possession though.

Don’t be silly. Only one or a couple of idiots say this. At least on here. Best thing is to ignore the stupid minority who go this far. They are not worth taking seriously. Fortunately there aren’t many at all on here. Most make valid points. Some better than others.

Just stop it.

That is true. Personally I think we would be better off with one of the wide players being able to offer some creativity don’t you? Especially since Howe doesn’t seem to want a creative attacking midfielder.

Still think we would struggle against low blocks. Very good in transitions though.

I think so too. That’s why I wasn’t fond of the Barnes signing with Gordon here already. Especially when the RW hasn’t been sorted out which should have been the prior for me over another leftie.

Personally I struggle to see where the creativity/flair would come from with both of these starting? Said it a long way back before the injuries. Starting these two makes us slightly predictable. Especially against teams that sit slightly deeper. They could be very effective players in transitions mind.

He is right though.

None of them offer any proper flair/creativity either.

This. And I don’t see our wingers offering much against low block teams. Said before the season started that teams are gonna start playing differently against us, and most of all be more aware of us and how we play. Said that we need more technical ability and try to evolve more towards a balance between high intensity and technical/possession based team to get to the next level. All the injuries and so on definitely hasn’t helped obviously. I think Barnes will offer us good quality in some games but he isn’t a player I would have signed as I don’t see him good enough in general play or against team that sit deeper. Especially with Gordon here already.

I dont see too many saying too much? Howe has my support 100%. I do think some things could have been done differently though.

I like Gordon and I think he has done very well at times. Having said that I still think he’s slightly limited as a player. The reason he is performing this badly now is mostly down to tiredness though.

If we do make signings in January I feel like it will take too long before we get them in. Usually don’t manage to do deals quickly.
