Just a randomly negative thing to say based off what? “I see us being great until Jan then falling off” 

 

what are you basing this off of? The injuries we’ve sustained this year under Howe seem more freak than not.

Don't over react. I absolutely adore Eddie Howe but we need to give him a good squad to rotate players.

Must say his previous defensive goals conceded worried me, but clearly he's gone away (visited A.Madrid and Simeone) and addressed that among other things.

 

A manager who's not arrogant to learn and address his flaws (Bruce the counter example of utter arrogance to blame everything but himself and his flaws).

 

While I know it's unlikely as it doesn't happen that often, I'd love him to be here for a long long time. I've not liked a manager as much as this for a long time (Rafa i loved, but it's not the same). Not since KK have I felt a confidence in a manager of ours.

 

I've fell in love with us again, I was drifting away and thought it was gone.

I was telling my wife this morning after the match his refreshing it was to see our team go a man up and actually put pressure on the opposition for the rest of the game, as one should.

 

It's such a basic thing but I can remember games in previous eras where the opposition would get a red card and if you didn't see it happen you would have no idea they were playing a man down. We'd still be sitting deep and trying to hang on to a 0-0 for fuck's sake!

 

So yeah it's a basic fucking thing but so wonderful to see our team dominating the game and putting some shots on fucking target after the sending off.

2011. (In 2011/12 when we finished 5th I assume)

:thup:

To take the absolute shower of shite he inherited, and injuries to the three best players in the squad to where we are now is nowt short of incredible.

Wood is the only player we've spent significant money on that's played a part of this run, and he's hardly set the world alight.

I was thinking exactly that. Bruno mostly doesn't play and Trippier is out long term. Burn and Targett are great additions though and Trippier was a big help in getting the shit organized but your point remains.

Biggest compliment I can pay Eddie and the new coaching team is that in their first press conferences they were asked which players impressed them. Eddie I think mentioned Joelinton and, without prompting, Shelvey being a great technician. I was so disappointed at the time, thinking he would be too hesitant to change the failing players. Little did I know he was picking out 2/3s of the best midfield in the league outside the top 6. 
 

Eddie’s earned the right for me to trust his judgments without question for a good 3 months before voice my doubts again

I've lived in Bournemouth for over a decade after leaving the North East, and he's a legend down here.

 

I've wanted him to get a chance to manage Newcastle for a long time, before Bournemouth even got to the PL, and I'm delighted that he is now our manager.

 

I'm also very pleased that he's doing so well, however I will say that I'm not remotely surprised. I've seen first hand what Howe can do to a club.

 

Anecdote time: In October 2014, toward the end of Alan Pardew's reign of horror, I got into a massive argument with a guy in a bar overseas in Fujairah, who mocked me for wanting rid of him. He was asking who we could possibly get who was better, I guess he hoped I'd name someone unrealistic and he could then mock me for being deluded but straight away I said Howe, even though Bournemouth were in the Championship at the time, because I knew he was a rising star. He'd never heard of Howe, which I guess was fair enough, but he still laughed and said I was being stupid and we should keep Pardew and intimated that because he'd never heard of Howe he must be crap and worse than Pardew. I hope he remembers that conversation now.

There was a little second or two bit on MotD when the players and staff came over to the Newcastle fans after the match today, he's not just smiling, he breaks into a chuckle, it goes beyond a smile. I remember doing that when Keegan was manager, I'd be in the ground and a passage of play would happen and I'd be giggling, we were that good. i think Eddie's realised where this could go.........and he still can't quite believe it.

We've not conceded in the second half for five games in a row. The Villa pinball offside goal aside, it hasn't even looked like happening.

 

In our first 20 games of 21/22, we conceded 22 in the final 30 minutes alone, blowing out of our arse every week. That's why we lost all those points from winning positions.

I'll be honest, I didn't thin EH was as ruthless a manager when he first came in. I really thought he was a young chummy chummy everyone's mate kinda manager.

 

Then you read the interviews where he is the meticulous driven coach fixated on his work, and JT of all people is the good cop.

 

I just could not envisage that at the time.

 

He is just a consummate professional, and a bit of gent. Well done EH :clap:
