New year and new hope (not Craig)

I'm over it now. All good with me, looking forward to the new year. All the best chaps.

I didn't "back" anything. it was a pathetic ban. Also I have no idea about the first one, news to me.

They ban you. Happened a few times, I'll just shut up tbh, I enjoy this forum. I'm not gonna poke the bear.

I like this! You should do the team talks. A bit of ruthlesness and passion is what we need.

This type of holier than thou rhetoric has already run its course after numerous poor performances. We all want Howe to succeed, being smug isn't going to win any hearts and minds.

There's nobody that could fill his boots that would want to come here right now. I am in. But we can't pretend that we aren't a bit lame. January window could change things. I am looking forward to next year, the future is bright imo.

Be careful, asking us to improve a bit is apparently very offesnive.

I am aware you are an admin so I won't disagree. I hope things get better.

His tone seems like he's acknowledging we are a bit shit but doesn't really know what to do to change that so just wants to enjoy the win. Which is normal, most premier league managers seem the same at the moment, it's a really bizarre season. Look at the Chelsea manager, spent like half a billion and they are pretty dull. I just hope Eddie can come up with something. He must know deep down something is seriously wrong.

I have a feeling Ramsdale would have let that shot in that Pope saved.

Get the players to keep the football, dominate posession, don't even do anything with it, just keep hold of the ball. That would be enough for me.

It's literally just this. We can't keep the ball and manage games.

Dust waselves down

They were both excellent.

Thought he was one of the better ones today, didn't put in any crap crosses.

Nobody avaliable. I think Eddie can turn things around but he really needs to just be honest with himself.

I think we bought some good players tbh. I think some have excelled in spite of the poor coaching, rather than because of the coaching.

The press is not the issue. The ethereal vibe is. We need to do some incantations.

Tad ironic.

We got lucky with Nick, he's brilliant.

I think the windows have been good. I haven't been blaming the players for a long time.

It's over.

It's weird because I rate the players actually. They are just playing a bit shit and we just seem shit. I haven't been blaming the players for months, which means someone else is to blame. Something with the confidence and "vibe" is off.

Wok the league cup you say?
