Constructive criticism is fine, but some of you dumbasses have been much more than asking questions from the very beginning. You've been whining ad infinitum, and are probably having a good wank over his failures. Best fans in the world.

Literally one of the worst results in the club’s entire history, fans are well within their rights to go ballistic to be honest.

[Lush Vlad]

Not sure why he brought Almiron on. Who has been shite offensively for ages and I thought Murphy looked one of our only threats. 
 

Did we even have a youth team forward on the bench today? As felt like they should have got a run. No striker really fucked us. 
 

I don’t feel like this loss is all on Howe. Most the players looked totally uninterested or just regularly made the wrong decision. 
 

Longstaff and Ritchie looked like they might just about make Cambridge’s bench, for example.

If you are in here to slag off Howe you are a complete wanker BTW.

 

It's not that he's above criticism, at all, it's that it would be like giving the chemotherapist shit for you having cancer.

[toon25]

A lot of players still don't look like they know what they're doing. We've seen no real turnaround in form - Joelinton aside - to suggest that he's suddenly going to be able to get more from new players that come in.

 

We're going to be relying on their individual ability to keep us up.

[Mattoon]

Criminal to not start with a recognised forward, is Gayle injured? He's got to be a better option than no one! Hard to place blame too much on Howe as the players just aren't up for it, embarrassing.

Very clear where the problem lies. 

 

A warranted use of the word worrying.

Willock was a fucking disgrace when he came on and has been all season.

He looked like he was completely stoned when he came on. Kenedy mkII

How's that high horse of yours?

Dude, this has been going on since the very beginning with some people. Yeah, Howe obviously hasn't hit the ground running. This was a great site and still often is, but some of this over the top negativity is just exhausting. Some absolutely miserable people on here who seem to revel in the "i said from the beginning". If they are right about him, it's by pure fucking accident.

Of course, but some have been like this since the fucking outset.

[Decky]

Can't see how this is Howe's fault. He put out a near full strength side. The players are dreadful and spineless, no amount of management can change that. These players need fucked off for some proper players and then we can start judging Howe. Guardiola couldn't motivate the wankers we have at the club right now. 

[LV]

The club has had mediocrity drilled into it for years. It must have rubbed off on some of the players because it’s infectious. 
 

Blaming Howe for that man. He’s been here 5 mins in the grand scheme of things and has had to try to get a tune out of this lot.

Nice work Dickheddie. Two weeks on the training field for that. Try the Bruce approach and give them a week off before Watford you utter fucking fraud.

 

Honestly lads, I said it when we appointed him. He's shite.

 

I have nothing more than  

[Fantail Breeze]

I’m not really clear on what we’re trying to do at times and I don’t think the players are either. 

[Optimistic Nut]

100% have faith in him but that was poor.

People are rightly pissed off at the result today. A large portion of the  blame for that result lies with the manager. Maybe it's a case of some folk joining dots, and for others it's baseless negativity, but to suggest people are throwing their toys out of the pram because they're levelling criticism at an underperforming manager is wrong.

I think some people are knee-jerking all over the place here.

 

The squad is shit and have a brittle mentality that’s come from years of makeshift squad building literally to keep us in a top league on a shoestring in order to advertise that cunt’s tat emporium. 
 

The only thing that’s on Howe today is taking off Murphy and playing Longstaff for longer than 45 mins. 

Not knee jerking on my part, I said he was totally the wrong choice when his name was first mentioned and I’ve seen nothing to suggest otherwise 

[WillingtonMag]

Shouldn't have played our strongest side today a cup run was the last thing we need anyways, Trippier limping about at the end there could end up missing a 6 pointer next weekend.

[Yorkie]

Can't deny that Howe hasn't changed enough about us in terms of results but I don't feel like we're in a position to make any judgements at this point. If Ciaran Clark doesn't make the foul against Norwich, we're level on points with 17th; if the previous regime allowed us to accommodate more than one striker in the squad, we're in the 4th Round of the cup.

 

It's hardly been an impressive start but it's because of fine margins and a couple of things out of his control that we're not sitting here saying, he's had an okay start, as opposed to a bad one. 

 

Let's see how we're playing come March/April time before declaring him a dickhead and a fraud.

I also think that a top manager would be getting more out of Willock already, if Willock wants it.  So either Howe is not doing well there or Willock just can't be arsed.

Willock just didn’t want to know when he came on. Was a disgraceful display. Hid most of the game and made zero effort. Bet he was one of them straight down the tunnel. Needs to stop huffing and get on with giving his all for the team.

Not so much a critisism but why not start one of the young stikers today and have a proper look? Not saying they are the answer but in the grand scheme of things, if you are going to lose a game like that, you may as well try something different.

But Howe should never have played Clark against Norwich, that’s on him too.

I was happy with his appointment, but I'm getting concerned I have to say.

 

Saying it's the squad only this result is making excuses for him today.  We looked very predictable for most of that match.

[WillingtonMag]

Don't think he's a push over at all mind think he will be having some harsh words in the dressing room with some people. Hopefully that gets a reaction out of them next weekend.

Fair enough on that. But some on here are just utterly annoying and seem to rather want to be right over anything else. I guess you're right though. I should just let everyone blow off steam after such a dog shit result.
