Was thinking this last night as well. Just came a month too early for us that, I would fancy us to win that final if it was happening now, and he might not admit it, but @Froggy  would probably agree.

 

I would 100% agree. 

 

Our team is absolutely knackered. The players will be hanging together by a thread come the end of the season. I think most good sides would turn us over at this point. 

 

We were much better than Barcelona when we knocked them out of Europe and the cup final was extremely comfortable. I think Barca and Newcastle would both be heavily favoured against us right now.

Other teams when they have the ball against us

You are replying to a post talking about comparing this team to the Bobby team so that’s a strange one but ok.

 

94-97 you have to add Blackburn into the picture as well as taking into account the league overall was much more competitive 

 "I think we're better than the Sir Bobby side now, not far off the Keegan one tbh."

[huss9]

we've never had a defence like this.

this team is better overall than the SBR/KK teams.

There’s a lot of stuff to love in this one sentence.

No the quote you replied to was 

 

‘You have to make allowances for things like technology and sports science, but yeah I'd say this team is better than Robson's across a season. More methodical, less fragile.’

[LiquidAK]

When it’s not working he recognises the issues and makes changes early. Fucking genius this guy, love him 

[Unbelievable]

The man sure knows how to change things around by using his substitutes bench

[buzza]

Well done Eddie for the changes at half time, black and white the difference between both halves…

[The Butcher]

Imagine next year when we have 4,5,6 quality players to put on instead of 2-3.

 

What a fucking manager man.

 

Poor first half, makes a proactive change and we piss it.

 

 

[Optimistic Nut]

Remember one of the criticisms during the run of draws was a lack of plan B. He's got a plan B and C now and they are all as good as each other. 

[Ben]

Keegan's enthusiasm and drive was amazing, Robson was just a natural incredible man and team manager, Rafa was a tactical mastermind. Howe has a little bit of all of them but I think he's the most professional manager we've had, he's like a hitman.

[Weezertron]

Wonder if we'll see Isak and Wilson start together before the season done. 

 

For as long as Longstaff is out, Isak is clearly our best option at LW. 

 

Not that it matters but it'd be fun to see.

Manager of the month suuurrely.

[Miggys First Goal]

Nailed on.

[samptime29]

Mad to think we have had 2 win streaks of 8 wins from 9 games twice. Combined 16 wins from 18 games in those periods. Zesty as fuck Eddie.

Which was crazy, given the lack of subs he had at his disposal...

who the fuck is it?

There was an error in the last one of these I posted (apols) before the Spurs game. This is corrected and updated below with the three extra wins since then.

Just watching the post match presser.

Talks so much sense and he’s definitely going to be the first manager to win something for us.
 

Also, I can’t help but feel like he doesn’t like Chris Waugh. Something about the way he looks at him and answers his questions. 

[KetsbaiaIsBald]

I wish I could talk like him.  He just nails every interview.  He’s patient.  Waits for the end of the question.n. Totally composed.   Handled the Gordon questions really well.

It's mentioned on PotT a fair bit.

The most impressive thing, to me, beyond the consistency and 2.00 Points Per Game for 2022 calendar year, is the 69% win percentage (thus far) for 2023. 
 

Not meaning to piss on your chips but if we've won 9 from 16 in 2023, that's something like 56% win percentage not 69% surely? 

 

And 4 draws from 16 games is exactly 25%. Think you need to redo most of the percentages tbh
