ExiledGeordie Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2 minutes ago, Mazzy said: All depends on results, so there's no time frame that you can give on that. Losing games (or drawing games against Luton, Bournemouth etc) is always going to put pressure on him but realistically unless it truly goes tits up and we lose/draw 75% of our remaining games he'll rightfully still be in the job at the start if next season. I think there’s been so many injuries this season that he’ll rightly be given more time. He’ll definitely get the summer transfer window and next season but the pressure is definitely on next season for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Displayname Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 minute ago, Jagten said: He’s not great but he the attacker has to score a low probability goal. Most of the time that shot doesn’t go in. Cmon now, its not like he didnt give him free space to pick out a pass either. All because he has to compensate for being so godamn slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Don't want him out, but there's been some very weird decision making this season, for a club that's supposed to be challenging top 6 as our CEO said - I think we look miles off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 minute ago, dcmk said: Our midfield is the obvious problem at the moment, it's not balanced and we're getting over-run.. and none of them seem to be picking up any runners. A balanced midfield helps prevent Burn getting isolated with one on ones. We always look better once Tino comes on though.. Ofcourse that is absolutely true and they don't provide enough between the three of them defensively BUT there's fuck all that can be done about that because we have no other midfielders. We do however have a player who can replace Burn and remove that need for our LB to have to constantly be protected and helped when faced with an attacking player.

Ronaldo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 5 minutes ago, ExiledGeordie said: The Hall situation is odd, he never comes on even with injuries. Doesn’t add up at all and I wonder if there is something in the appearance thing and the deal not going ahead. I’d love to know how much of our FFP freedom we lost as a result of signing him. The whole thing is completely bizarre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Putting the injuries to one side, I don’t see progression at all. The back line is still largely unscathed and we’re all over the shop. Even when Pope was fit we were still shipping goals.. perhaps not as many but we were far from the solid side we were last year. These games were bread and butter for us last year. Im not going to overreact to today. At least we got a point but I reckon we’ll have another few stinkers and then we’ll win 2 or 3 and this will just continue on like this.

Newcastle Fan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Next week he'll drop Burn against an in-form Arsenal and when Tino dosn't preform Burn gets back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs to come up with a better system to protect our defence. I have no idea what that system is though given neither Longstaff or Miley can seemingly recognise when their opponents are behind them. swapping our left back is a very quick fix but Tino will still be under massive pressure when only Bruno has the ability to help out.

Lush Vlad Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Shocking that. Didn’t even celebrate the equaliser. Was more laughing at Ritchie’s attempt to miss both chances I think he’s had ready made excuses for most of the season. Can’t really remember criticising him much in the heat of the moment or otherwise. But the fact that time and again Howe seems happy to set us up to play chaos ball like that is worrying and struggling to stick up for him based on today. Not anything beyond that. Been played through time and again at home to Forest, Luton and now Bournemouth. Yet not felt the need to change personnel or formation before or the match. Then reactive during it. I thought maybe there might be a slight change in tact after the tweaks last week. But this was the worst performance of the lot (Forest x 2, Luton and Bournemouth). A lot of pressure on Willock and Isak to stay fit and have an impact on our season. Because if we keep playing this wide open, with these players. We’re going to get battered a lot of weeks.

Just a hunch but maybe now they see lumping 35m on him as not worth it and given FFP they’d rather spend 40-45 on a guaranteed bonafide left back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I think with Miley and longstaff being similar players you'd think he'd at least try 4231 but alas he must have his reasonings Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) The goodwill has almost gone. Honestly, the guy is going off the rails with his decisions and loyalties. I know the injuries are a factor but only up to a point. I'd be very disappointed if the higher-ups aren't at looking keeping a pulse on the managerial market. Because I'm not sure we get far beyond the summer with Howe. Edited February 17 by Ketsbaia Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must see the midfield isnt function at all. Hes stubborn to the pattern he likes to play. If you dont have the players to play then you must change the system. This will just continue game after game with the same players. At least try something different against Arsenal. Its a free hit and the same players have to play.

KaKa Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Find it really amusing the idea that he'll be under pressure from the ownership with what he has achieved so far, and the team sitting in 7th currently, despite the challenges this season. Unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Not saying they should sack him, just that I hope they're not blindly loyal to him (like he is to Burn) and are at least open to other ideas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
