I mean he creates all of our chances and is involved in everything positive we do. Sure he’s flawed which is precisely why he plays for us and not someone better.

Well done to the manager it’s not easy to bounce back and keep the spirits up after the last couple of games.

Different player in the second half like, you have to credit him and the manager for that. From disinterested to motivated within the span of 45 mins. Keep it up Joe, you would be walking in to our shambles of a midfield.

Thought he was quality today, he created all of our best chances.

Get in! Great battling performance from the boys.

Aye, he lacks a hard of pace. Might need to play 3 at the back to get the best out of him.

Aye, this was my thought as well. It’s like watching a bunch of strangers at times.

We definitely need more in those areas too!

As silly as this sounds I think full back is a very important area in Howes system. He’s like them to overlap and get balls into the box so I can see why he’s going for this.

Also, I’m pretty sure this is a commercial trip. Warm weather training

They’ve had an amazing youth set up for over 20 years. Terrific club tbh.

Let’s sign up some of the technical staffs scouts and what not from the likes of Lille, Atalanta Sevilla etc. To be sustainable we will have to get these players in much younger and cheaper in the future.

I’d expect us to announce some sponsorships whilst we are there.

That’s the thing though KI, so your argument is basically our players have regressed so much to the point the manager can’t add value? And everyone else has gotten that much better on top of it? It’s just a stretch for me that’s all. As some have pointed out I don’t feel our squad is much different to the other dregs and that come the end of the season Howe will have had enough time for us to make a decision about his future (get rid if relegated for me).

@ManDoonhas spoken on it before. It can’t be Bruce is awful and so is the squad as we would have been long since relegated. I do believe Bruce to be a completely garbage mind.

If that’s the case we were absolutely mental to get rid of Bruce as he managed to get some points out of them.

We can average it to PPG if that suits. The point is clear his mandate was to keep us up, he’s had the backing of all parties so far but if he fails he should be dismissed. Nothing against him personally or even that he’s a bad manager but he would have failed if we go down.

Same squad Bruce got a mid table finish with. remember, Howe is the better coach/ manager shouldn’t we be expecting more?

“Only 27 games”

This post makes no sense in the context of my question. Bruce is an absolute fraud imagine getting 10 points less than him? i so get it; Howe says the right things and isn’t a total cunt but ultimately it’s points that count.

So people would be happy with him getting say 10 points less than Bruce and giving him even more time?

It’s more due to rewarding failure which is something we did consistently. If this season plays out with safety resulting in a Low points haul then Howe has no excuse. But that’s for future, I think most of us are behind him, but let’s not mistake that with us owing him anything.

If we go down he should be dispatched imo. Would love Rafa back personally BUT with some conditions. We have to become forward thinking so he would have to work within a structure.

Bound to happen, wouldn’t put too much stock into it (yet).

Until we are actually competing it’s safe to assume players are coming for the money like, it certainly isn’t for our state do the art facilities. also, nothing wrong with players moving for the money, someone offers me a nice rise in also jumping ship.
