I'm taking this as a dig at Bruce.

 

Can we change the title to Eddie Howe Newcastle United Manager ? 

 

I don't think it's meant to be a dig at Bruce, although obviously that could be inferred. Winter has always had a soft spot for Newcastle, I think he's just genuinely delighted to see a quality manager here. When you watch Howe at work, and listen to him talk, you can't help but be mightily impressed tbh.

Asked how important it was to be going into those games with a win under their belts, head coach Howe said: “I try not to look at groups of fixtures. It’s a waste of energy and a waste of time because you’ve got to play them one at a time and we’re going to look at the first one.

“The minute you start looking at groups, it’s a dangerous thing to do, We’ll be really boosted by the win today, that should give us a lot of confidence and hopefully some positive momentum to take into a tough away fixture.”

He speaks so well man, its so refreshing to have someone in charge that knows what he wants to say, and how to say it.

"we are one unit" 

Thats brilliant that, feels wonderful to have someone we can trust & believe in 

Love him

The new boss looked even more drained than his players as he exited down the tunnel, a glaze in his eyes after an emotional lap of appreciation.

Seconds earlier, Howe had clenched his fists and shook them in the direction of the East Stand. He perhaps did not anticipate that the entire crowd would ape his celebration. ‘F****** love it’ he appeared to scream back at them.

Is that Derek 'Dr Death' Wright mid-left?

[huss9]

several times, especially in the second half, barking instructions at individual players and telling them where to stand - even from goal kicks.

[toon25]

As quick as I'd like progress to be, and as desperate for points as we are, I'm always reminded of the parcel of festering shit this guy was handed by his feckless predecessor on days like today.

Before anyone has a go at EH , come back to this post , then realise he’s a great manager and coach .

Just watched Howe’s post-match interview on motd. This guy is night and day in comparison to Bruce. Positive, talking up our players and focussed on improving them. I’m totally behind him and haven’t felt like this since Rafa. 

[Guest HTT II]

Delighted for him, he looks like he’s aged massively in the few weeks he’s been here mind, he seems to cope well with pressure though and the reception he’s getting from the fans is lovely to see. We are United again!

The smile on Eddie's face during the post match interview was class. He genuinely is excited and passionate about being our manager and I was very happy for him to get his first win. I really hope for us and for Eddie that he goes on to make history in keeping us up. I think it would be a brilliant platform to move on from, for once it's looking a tiny bit more possible. We have to beat one or more the top sides to do it, I really hope we can cause an upset and achieve that before January.

[SUPERTOON]

Nice to hear him talk yesterday about us being capable and needing to win against the top teams in this coming run.

His entire mindset is positive and forward thinking. He’s the opposite of a defeatist and every time he speaks its intentional and thoughtful. I love this bloke like. I hope we kick on from yesterday because he’s literally and potentially perfect for us.

Yep, he will train the players and go into say a match away to Man City and will look to try and win the game, it’s refreshing and even if you don’t quite have the players, that mentality will win you more games than you lose and although it come to an end playing that way at Bournemouth for Howe, it was kind of inevitable like it would if KK was their manager also. Here, if he keeps us up and we start bringing in real quality, that won’t happen and because of his methods, there is a good chance we will actually become a very very good side under him. I’m confident, relegation or not, eventually anyway.

Just training 5 days a week instead of 3 is making a massive difference. Not just fitness-wise, but also on player's professionalism. If you look at Shelvey, he was admitting that he needed to cut out after match drinking, but when you know you aren't going to be training for a few days it makes it a lot easier to think "why not?"

[Abacus]

I thought it was interesting hearing Shelvey talk about his fitness levels already being up by 5%.

 

I'd say it's more than that, but even so, tiny margins make a huge difference in the game. And he looks interested again, taking a few shots putting himself about.

 

He's the first player I'd have dropped and called a waste of space before Howe came in, so I'm glad to eat my words so far.

 

He's on my own team sheet again now.

8 weeks ago, we had a manager who was a fraud, an owner who wasnt interested, a group of players that weren't fit and a fan base at war with itself.   Fast forward 8 weeks and its the complete opposite.

 

The next 8 weeks could be transformational for this club, get it right and we won't have to be looking down anymore, only up!
