Amir_9 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Colos Short and Curlies said: See I disagree with this. He's earned the right to have a clear decision on next season made early in the summer He's either got the whole of next season barring a total unforeseen disaster and therefore the summer going balls deep in Howeball and who he wants Or the board decide that this wasn't good enough and we move on. Being a little indecisive does Howe no favours as the summer will be compromised and we know that we can get a better manager in during the summer than we can in September. For the time being biggest thing he needs to quickly fix is the amount of goals we are hemorrhaging otherwise its a midtable finish and a knock out of the next round. If him not sorting the goals we are conceding isn't sorted by early next year, I just can't see the board sticking with him.

The College Dropout Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 A lot of our game is dependent on confidence and we don’t have any atm. It makes us tepid in and out of possession. We second guess ourselves. Weve never been an Ange type team where you can see lots of possession play from the training ground. It’s more getting that fire in your belly, high anticipation, sharp play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If him not sorting the goals we are conceding out isn't sorted by early next year, I just can't see the board sticking with him. If we don't see an improvement - or at least signs of something turning around (and we have a favourable fixture list to do this now) - then I really don't see the point in waiting to September to make a decision. All in or all out but be 100% clear on the decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 2 minutes ago, dcmk said: The best in the business couldn't motivate his under achieving team last season. So it's a weird argument to bring up. You can clearly see the effort from all the players today. So I would even argue he can and is motivating them. Just they aren't playing well. Someone said the players were awful and didn’t look motivated. I simply replied that it’s Howe’s job to motivate the players. Players not looking arsed doesn’t absolve Howe of responsibility as the person was suggesting. That is all. If you think the players looked sharp and motivated - great.

Decky Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Performances lately have been disappointing but the season isn’t over yet. Still in the FA Cup and still just 2 points from 7th. He needs to get the team firing again and if he does we’ll be in Europe again next season. We’re two wins from a final and one from Wembley, we’re so close to another great season and we’ve had probably the worst injury crisis at the club in living memory. Howe and the players know they have to improve so keep the faith and let’s see how the final stretch of the season goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Loathed the narrative that he needed this tonight. He's safe as houses whatever happened and, as it happened, he led us through a difficult tie. Squad is regaining fitness and hopefully confidence now. Looking ahead with optimism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Yeah I don't think the players looked demotivated. They looked tired (not saying they were tired but a lot of the play looked leggy), pensive and not confident. We're not in a good spot atm and it'll take a few good performances to fix it.

An awful lot of people automatically equate being shit with not trying in football. It’s a madness. Across the board too, not just here and Newcastle. Can’t remember who but someone said Bruno was phoning it in and 1/10. Happily stick a tenner on he ran more than anyone out there like he usually does. He just wasn’t that good and was man marked for a bit which stifled him. My main worry since we’re in the Howe thread is the hilarious lack of control we have the second anything goes wrong. Scored and played fine until we threw one in and then it went mad like we were gasping to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
