Thinking out loud here.... Ive been thinking its weird that Shelvey and Joelinton, the 2 players we all thought were beyond redemption, have responded to Howe this first few weeks or so. Even Fraser has looked better. Our defense is still a bit shaky and I don't think Howe knows his best back 4 or 5 yet (but hes a step closer after tonights game) so Im wondering if Howe has prioritised attacking over defending in his training sessions so far. We seem to have improved offensively but havnt made the same leap defensively.

Anyone know if hes still playing with injections for his injury?

Still dont think we are going down. Howe is learning exactly who he cab rely on. Rather that was now than March or April tbh.

At least hes finding out early who cant be relied upon. Howe will know going into Jan who needs binned and who he can work with for the rest of the season.

Never realised how much he looks like Sean Lock

Has the bridge been painted yet - or does it still look like its about to be dismantled for scrap?

4-1 home win.

Maybe - but hes the type of plater we desparately need.

Still not worried in the slightest. The club however need to get their transfer business done so that the new players arrive on the day of the window opening. If the rumours are true then trippier at right back and a new left back will go a HUGE way to solving some of the squads problems. A shithouse DM and one or 2 other additions would be great.

Have the big 6 approved it?

The first dozen or so pages of this thread make for depressing reading.

Lets say that hypothetically, the Manure board were looking at Bruce. What would be the genuine positives? 1) He knows the club 2) Popular with the fans 3) He knows the league 4) He got an underperforming Newcastle to 12th 5) Is a motivator 6) Has vast experience over 1000 games Any more?

Bruce IN!
