Eddie Howe

[cannybagoftudor]

If I remember his interview correctly, he stated that he doesn't know why it is happenening and these things just occur randomly and it will "hopefully" right itself. That bit of info was a tad WTF. As the manager he should be able to identify what is going wrong and have a plan to correct it. Doesn't sound like he does - much as I hate to say it, because I think he is the best thing I have seen for NUFC in my 50 years of support, but his race may be run.

I hate league tables like that BBC table.

It doesn't change the positions for other teams throwing away points once ahead so what's the point? 

 

I did see a stats table the other day though which showed how many goals we've conceded due to our own players mistakes and it was very alarming.

Same as today with Botman.

You can't really blame Howe for those.

 

Eddie should stay imo, but he needs to get things sorted and fast.

I think it does, but agree that they're a bit pointless 

[DC Magpie]

To be fair, I thought that was an incredibly harsh penalty to give at that point in the match. The amount of shirt pulling and bear hugging you see on every play in the box is insane. Botman's seemed relatively tame comparatively. But that's the way this season is going for us.

You expected a 1-1, but blame Howe and want him to go because we conceded a crazy penalty in the last minute to lose the game.. that seems a bit harsh no?

 

 

If it was a one off then yeah it would be super harsh

You cant be serious telling that to a nufc fan??

Mate- you should occasionally try and write a post which is over 10 words long.

 

Have no idea what you're on about.  The line you have highlighted I've said many times on here.

I'd check the post before your notes.

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder how good Murphy and Elanga must be in training and how they cannot ever translate that into a performance on the pitch.

 

You’re having an absolutely nightmare tonight, just log off and try to relax rather than making a fool of yourself on the internet.

[McDog]

I'm not sure how I feel on the way forward  but today and the game against Sunderland were massively disappointing.

I honestly feel for Howe and the players tbh , They was sold a dream that partly has been fucked by psr but also our owners unwilling to find loopholes

I mean it seems harsh, can't imagine it was a tactical decision by Howe to ask Botman to wrestle in the penalty box in the 92nd minute underneath the nose of the referee.

[Conjo]

We've got nothing to lose now. No need to protect leads anymore, just go for as many goals as possible. A 1-0 lead is as good as a loss. If a player gets tired, sub him. If a player isn't performing, sub him. If we start to lose grip of the game, make changes so the players understands that it's unacceptable to fall into 2 low blocks and give all initiative to the opponents as soon as we go up. Don't fucking wait until the other team has fucked us over before doing the same subs you would have done anyway 10 minutes later.

 

I'm still ride or die with Eddie. It's dissapointing to see that he falls back to the same stuff that annoyed the shit out of me every non-CL season, but he still got the results, and I still think he can do that. I can live with being annoyed with certain aspects of his management style/philosophy. We afford players poor seasons, we should do the same with managers, especially special ones like Eddie.

Whoever comes on as sub is usually worse, so yeah.

 

 Yeah, I might have to change my username so no one remembers what a complete heed the bahl I am. Would be a nightmare that wouldn't it?

you're taking this completely out of context of everything else that has happened in the season though, as I say if it was a one off, I'd say it was bad luck and you could certainly argue that that particular incident isn't Howe's fault, but the team being under pressure in the last 15 minutes of the game and throwing away a lead is something we've seen all season and that is at least partially down to Howe and his decisions.

I asked you to elaborate on the point you were attempting to make but failing to.

 

Sounds like you are still struggling.

No, they are mate. Expecting us to win and go apoplectic if we don't a decent result.  How many times we seen it this season?

 

Not just this season take a look back at the 4-4 with Luton.  Or the away loss to Luton that year.  Was the exact same then, people wanted him gone during the match and Burn to never play again.

 

Season after we win a cup with Burn scoring the first goal.

 

Seems like a small portion are not emotionally intelligent enough for the ups and downs of supporting a team.  We are on a big down atm.  But evidence with Howe suggests he can turn it around.

 

Get him some good players that improve the 11.

 

Evidence from his time at Bournemouth is that he can’t turn it round, that’d be an opinion that is as valid as yours, in my opinion. 
 

And I’m neither Howe in or Howe out by the way.

I do get that.

 

But do find it harsh, you were expecting 1-1 and we basically had that result until a poor misjudgement.

The vast majority of these players have been useless this season - let’s not get the violin out for them - they all are accountable for their performances on the pitch

That one year of evidence when they were relegated, or all the other seasons of evidence where he quite often turned it around?

Tells me a lot that you focus on the single season of failure of Howe at Bournemouth and not the incredible achievement of transforming that club and getting a team like Bournemouth into the Premier League.

 

They were heavily backed to go down each season iirc. And pushed above their weight most seasons, until they didn't.

No idea how you can feel for the players, all earning 100k+ a week and pretty much to a man look like they don't want to be there other than the big games against big teams live on TV.

I’m not focusing on a single season of failure, I’m simply saying he didn’t leave Bournemouth on a high after having an unbelievable amount of success there.
 

He ran out of steam there. 
 

He might run out of steam here.

 

He might not run out of steam here. 

 

That’s all I’m saying.
