MarkyMark Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I bastard well hate Leeds. I’m going to assume Howe thinks like me and has these useless fuckers up for tomorrow. Hope springs eternal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds will spank us, and that's just being realistic. Accept relegation and anything else will seem like a bonus. We couldn't beat anyone around us because we're losers and the new staff can't even rescue that. Leeds were shite last time we played them.

Between eddie and the owners were now accepting relegation as a given. When he came in we believed. Where has it gone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 2 minutes ago, POOT 2.0 said: Because there's a pattern continuing. On owners: "Don't blame them, they've only been in 1 week 2 weeks 3 weeks 4 weeks 2 months 3 months 4 months ffs!". On Howe: "Don't blame him, he's only had 1 game 2 games 3 games 5 games 7 games 10 games ffs!". Up to now, the above is a valid defence...but that's an undeniable pattern. They certainly don't look like fixing the slide. 1 win all season. I think that pattern could break very soon for Howe. If I was Amanda/PIF I would be comparing what Dean has done at Norwich, with arguably worse resources, and I would be asking questions of Howe on why he hasnt performed and also I would be referring back to the fabled 'great presentation' and why he hasnt addressed the weaknesses, he said he would!

Guest reefatoon Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 January was supposed to be our saviour month where we start to turn it around after the nightmare fixtures in December. We have been utter lifting in the two games so far though. Needs to get a tune out of these useless fuckers and it needs to start tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the other matches thread, Souness started off his Newcastle career with 4 wins on the trot. I would hold on and see how the rest of the season pans out before jumping to conclusions. The Villa board sacked Smith and replaced him with Gerrard. They can't be right on both counts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Not gonna lie the Norwich win tonight has pissed me right off after our pathetic performance last week. I’ve kind of given up and accepted relegation but if we keep losing and drawing against utter dross with shit performances for the rest of the season I’ll want him binned off for the Championship tbh.

After a draw it was the best result for us. Now it's up to us to get players in. I'd have taken 6pts from safety on 1st Feb if we get the players in. Its 4pts at the minute, could be less tomorrow.

midds Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Howe has inherited an utter shitshow but it's his job to try and fix it. I think everyone hopes he can and he certainly talks a good game but it's got to translate into results at some point. He was appointed to fix the problems, he either does or he doesn't. He's under no illusions and neither are the fans, another few shit results and he'll be struggling to hang on imo, which would be a real shame as I think he's a nice bloke with many qualities. I don't want him out and I want him to turn it around but something's got to happen soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) It’s more about how a poor Norwich team wiped the floor with Watford away from home and we couldn’t beat them at SJP. Im still in support of Howe but I’m started to get worried with recent performances. Edited January 22, 2022 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing - the point was that the Villa board could absolutely be correct on sacking Smith and appointing Gerrard, as well as Norwich appointing Smith. The ‘can’t both be right’ is poor logic. Of course it can be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think your point is as logical as you think. Real were right to sack Rafa and we were right to hire him. Plenty of examples of this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right so MM has made the same point and this answer to it is deflecting from the point which is both clubs are doing better for their changes. Could be expectations, could be the fit for the club, but a manager can be sacked from one club and do well at another while the club he left also do better.

nufcnick Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I think a spanking of Leeds today and the fans will turn on Howe, especially after how easy Norwich dispatched Watford last night, maybe we should have gone after Dean smith ehh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
