STM Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think he's working on match tactics. Where he wants players positionally etc. Using the full SJP pitch will give a better sense of where they need to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Jesus, when you look back on how Bruce did things, it was just negligence from top to bottom. The minute he got in here he was fucking about with the attitude of “pay me”, he didn’t give two shits about the club, what people thought of him while backed up by his mates in the press. They knew all along what he was about, they were totally comfortable in peddling that nonsense about him being a great manager because they have utter disdain for clubs like us and Aston Villa. It would only ever been if he’d managed a Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs or Man Utd that the truth wound have been written about him, of course.. if it was happening to one of their beloved clubs. But the reality is that he’d never be let near places like that as a manager. Ending up at places where things are not well is a sign that he’s a parasite. Eddie Howe on the other hand, I have absolutely no doubt that he’ll leave this club in a better place, he’s everything that a person like Bruce isn’t.

toontownman Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Even if he flops, it is hard to believe it will be from any lack of effort and a genuine hunger for the task ahead. He clearly is appreciative and humble to the position he is in without being overawed by it. Genuinely don't think there was another manager we were linked with that will go to the same extremes and have the passion for this job that Eddie seems to have. Guess we will see if that translates and he delivers with the hype. Pretty blown away so far from the outside but it is a BIG job with these players.

Guest HTT II Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I think he’s wanting to replicate the match day setting, minus the fans and atmosphere. That or they are probably most likely fumigating the training ground after years of decaying Bruce… Edited November 13, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I don't know if he quite gets the area yet, that'll come with time, but I do think he gets 'it' somewhat with regards to football alone. I'd like to think that come January, he'll adore it here and by the end of the season will be adored. All this shit about Geordies only wanting Geordies, etc. Twaddle.

Absolutely. 2 weeks isn't a lot of time to transform this squad from a 30% possession defensive side to a happy on the ball and free flowing attacking one. Will take a longer time, but hope the players are inspired and show more fight than they were doing under Bruce. They have to. Hopefully a roaring SJP behind Howe and the lads will help them on their way to getting our first win against Brentford. It would be so cathartic for everyone and great feel factor to move forward from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for muscle memory effect and Eddie is resetting them 😂🤞🏻🤞🏻 Very impressed with him so far, although Bruce turd standards are no hard act to follow.
