He's also playing players who clearly want to be off/know they're not wanted.

 

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.

I’m sorry but that’s a really shite quote. 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.

Bit early to judge him imo. Overall there has been clear improvements since Bruce left. 
 

Howe took over a team half full of championship players, and our PL level striker is injury prone. He can’t do anything about the playing squad until now, and we are only 1 week into the window. It will take until the end of the summer window really to have an 11 that Howe wants and then can implement his style of play on. 
 

He’s been given a bag of shit so not sure why any short term drastic improvements are expected. We have gradually improved but there is a very low ceiling of performance that these players are capable of reaching, regardless of who is coach.

Knee-jerking again.

 

unbelievable 


It’s a raw and understandably negative reaction to an unforgivable performance against a struggling league 1 side at home, in front of a sell-out crowd. Give over for once, man.

I do not in any way want Howe out, but we can’t say “yeah but the squad is shit” when we were hammering Bruce for not getting results 

 

This is what I don't understand. Howe has to take responsibility for some of the results. Our squad is dog shit, a good manager manages more than what he has so far. All this shit about "he has only been in the job for 2 months ffs" Thats plenty of time to see a turn around?

Thanks for that insight Eddie, would really hope that as Newcastle United we would play okay and create opportunities against a League One side in the Cup at home.

 

In fact, I reckon that would be the bare minimum actually

 

I think the big problem is that we actually lost the match.

We have seen a turn around of sorts though.

We needed someone to come in and start getting results/performances quickly. It's been hit and miss so far in the league and now a dreadful result in the FA cup, but im still behind him 100%.

 

Howe isn't that type of manager. He's been brought in as part of a long term project IMO. A relegation and rebuild under Howe would bear more fruit than survival under a quick fix manager with no long term plan.

Worth noting there was only one EH/new regime signing today, it's going to take time to ship out the crap but the quality of signings going forward gives us cause for optimism.

 

It's why I'm sticking with him.

Aye, the hypocrisy from a few is ridiculous.

 

Bruce = shit coach, should be getting more out of the squad.

 

Howe = squad is completely shit and needs replacing, not on him to get better results with same players.

 

Can't have it both ways.

True to an extent, although a lot of the deficiencies in the squad were, and still are, of Bruce's making.

Totally agree. Howe seems to get a very easy ride, particularly with his post match quotes, in comparison to Bruce.

 

You have to judge them equally.

Both things of those things can be true and are true.

I'll give him more time etc to improve things but to completely blank him from any criticism is wrong.
