Kid Icarus Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Had a feeling this would happen. His record in the F.A Cup is astonishingly bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWMag Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 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.

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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I reckon that would be the bare minimum actually I think the big problem is that we actually lost the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMLeazesender Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 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 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bada Bing Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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%. Howe isn't that type of manager. He's been brought in as part of a long term project IMO. A relegation and rebuild under Howe would bear more fruit than survival under a quick fix manager with no long term plan.

Bruce = shit coach, should be getting more out of the squad. Howe = squad is completely shit and needs replacing, not on him to get better results with same players. Can't have it both ways.
