1 win in 9 and just lost to a League 1 side.

We needed someone to come in and start getting results/performances quickly. It's been hit and miss so far in the league and now a dreadful result in the FA cup, but im still behind him 100%.

If anyone had done that after Bruce and with most of these players I’d be questioning what they were giving the players

In a club thats been neglected for 14 years, imagine that...

[Rod]

Yes this was an awful embarrassing result but can everyone calm down a little.  We hammered them actually and Callum Wilson would have had a hat trick today.  We do have some awful players mind.  Write this off and move on.

The absolute state of the squad is to blame, fuck all you can do with some of these fucktards.

No media quotes, etc yet? I hope he's kept them all in the dressing room for a proper bollocking.

 

"I've had a word with PIF and we've agreed we're going throw everything at signing a keeper, a left back, 2 x centre half, 4 x midfielder and a couple of strikers. That's our minimum requirement.

 

We've got plenty of money to spend. 

 

So I've got to keep this chat quick, I've got agents to call

 

Toodle pip"

If Bruce were still in charge, there would be hell on tonight. Howe may still be getting comfy in his seat, but questions have to rightly be asked.

[Minhosa]

If Bruce had of delivered that shite today, there'd be a new 'Wor Flag' outside the ground by 9pm. He needs to deliver and fast.

I'm not 100% gonna have a pop at EH , fuck off. 

[Kid Icarus]

Had a feeling this would happen. His record in the F.A Cup is astonishingly bad.

He's also playing players who clearly want to be off/know they're not wanted.

 

Not sure he really has a choice with this. I'd say that applies to 70% of the squad right now if not 100%. 

 

Especially with the amount of players we are being linked with and who we've put bids in for. The current players will be well aware of this and they'll have their heads elsewhere now, even if it is only subconsciously.

I’m sorry but that’s a really shite quote. Imagine if Bruce came out and said that after losing to a League One side at home.

 

Appreciate he wants to a create a team of smiles, but he also needs to take accountability and admit he got it wrong.

[NWMag]

Bit early to judge him imo. Overall there has been clear improvements since Bruce left. 
 

Howe took over a team half full of championship players, and our PL level striker is injury prone. He can’t do anything about the playing squad until now, and we are only 1 week into the window. It will take until the end of the summer window really to have an 11 that Howe wants and then can implement his style of play on. 
 

He’s been given a bag of shit so not sure why any short term drastic improvements are expected. We have gradually improved but there is a very low ceiling of performance that these players are capable of reaching, regardless of who is coach.

Something alone the lines of Bruce would come out with.

 

He's protecting his players - though god knows why.

[Dublin1974]

Hi.first post, had  big worries about  howe, I think we are in bigger  trouble than we think , he's absolutely  lifeless on the touchline,

Knee-jerking again.

 

unbelievable 

It’s a raw and understandably negative reaction to an unforgivable performance against a struggling league 1 side at home, in front of a sell-out crowd. Give over for once, man.

I do not in any way want Howe out, but we can’t say “yeah but the squad is shit” when we were hammering Bruce for not getting results 

 

This is what I don't understand. Howe has to take responsibility for some of the results. Our squad is dog shit, a good manager manages more than what he has so far. All this shit about "he has only been in the job for 2 months ffs" Thats plenty of time to see a turn around?

Thanks for that insight Eddie, would really hope that as Newcastle United we would play okay and create opportunities against a League One side in the Cup at home.

 

In fact, I reckon that would be the bare minimum actually

 

I think the big problem is that we actually lost the match.

[DMLeazesender]

Worth noting there was only one EH/new regime signing today, it's going to take time to ship out the crap but the quality of signings going forward gives us cause for optimism.

[Minhosa]

Zero 'New Manager Bounce' effect so far. If he doesn't have the best February ever after he gets his signings, the owners may well apply some serious pressure to him.

We have seen a turn around of sorts though.

[Bada Bing]

Think he has to take pressure off them for the time being. If it all falls apart behind the scenes now we are knackered for the Watford game. It’s clearly not a happy camp.
