Guest reefatoon Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The plus point was how good Trippier looked compared to the rest of them. If it’s true that we are looking at around 6 new players and if they are of a similar calibre to Trippier, then that would be a huge boost for the second half of the season. Only make a couple of signings though and we will be in trouble, as the current team/squad as a whole are all shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is trying to turn 2.5 years of Bruce around and has shown good signs so far. You would be concerned under any manager if you just lost at home in the cup fielding a full-strength team against a bottom-half league one side. Howe’s not a special case.

toon25 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 He's also playing players who clearly want to be off/know they're not wanted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandrotastico Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) I think he's a smart guy. His comments this week about not upsetting the squad and around wages, makes you wonder if he's already aware of how 'delicate' this bunch we have are. The core group have been here for 6-7 years thriving and hiding within the mediocrity that we all knew. A nice cushy number, making great money, doing very little. average players making above average money - win, win! It's going to be difficult to strike a balance after today. Even the interview from Hayden suggests there is a attitude within the camp of complacency. The new regime and that attitude don't mix. So it's time etc shape up or fuck off! I'd get them all in tomorrow. Make Tripper Captain and ask each player, who wants to fight or who wants a taxi. If they want out, let's replace them in the 3 weeks or start giving the kids a game. I'd even be tempted to tell them, they wont be let go but will stay with the reserves for their contract duration. Fuck the cowards!

Rod Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yes this was an awful embarrassing result but can everyone calm down a little. We hammered them actually and Callum Wilson would have had a hat trick today. We do have some awful players mind. Write this off and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I've had a word with PIF and we've agreed we're going throw everything at signing a keeper, a left back, 2 x centre half, 4 x midfielder and a couple of strikers. That's our minimum requirement. We've got plenty of money to spend. So I've got to keep this chat quick, I've got agents to call Toodle pip" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he really has a choice with this. I'd say that applies to 70% of the squad right now if not 100%. Especially with the amount of players we are being linked with and who we've put bids in for. The current players will be well aware of this and they'll have their heads elsewhere now, even if it is only subconsciously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Bruce came out and said that after losing to a League One side at home. Appreciate he wants to a create a team of smiles, but he also needs to take accountability and admit he got it wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
