I’m not at the point I got to with Rafa where I didn’t care about starting elevens as I had complete trust in the manager, but I’m getting there. I want Bruno to start v Villa 100% but if Eddie makes another decision, fine (for now :lol: ). I think he’ll start though.

Exactly where I’m at , it’s about the task in hand .

 

Again I think he will be on the bench , I think EH wants a full week with this lad to get him in shape for the pace of our league , Sunday will be fast and energy sapping , bench for me like.

I like Hope, but I get the feeling even with Howe who's likeable if it started going wrong he'd be all over him like a rash.

 

Is that not exactly how it should be? 

 

I've always disliked the idea that Pepe Mel and Steve Bruce can do the same job but one is 'hounded out' and the other is a clown.

Is that a bad thing, though? If the manager isn’t doing what he should be, he should get called out. I didn’t find McClaren particularly offensive but he wasn’t performing and Hope called him out.

That was slightly different we were 19th three quarters of the way into the season. Hope was questioning Howe 2 games back and now he's praising him again.

Such a professional, feel like we’re in such safe hands. Everyone is pulling in the same direction; the board, the manager, the players and the fans. Think that’s why I’m the most confident to we’ll stay up. Howe is great at instilling positivity without being a false cunt about it like some previous managers who’d switch from positivity when things were going well to throwing players under the bus and becoming negative to lower expectations of the club

There'll be an extra level of satisfaction if if he can grow as a manger along with the club as we (hopefully) climb the league over the next few years. Just an added perk to it all if we don't need to ship him out to kick on in the next few years.

 

Speaks so well and is clearly just a good bloke. A genuine good bloke.

Think I haven't quite come to terms with what a stunning job he has done so far.

 

Players are much fitter

He tells fans to get pissed after the match

He grafts his arse off

He plays attacking football

He improves individuals (Joelinton, Fraser)

He's professional

He has balls (not starting Bruno)

Results have improved

Performances have improved

Attitude is better

Defence is improving

 

Honestly I'm behind this guy to at least the level I was with Rafa. What really does it for me is that he wants to learn. He's not happy unless he is developing his own management, as opposed to Steve (I've been in the game 40 years) Bruce.

 

Perhaps it's just the contrast between having a shithouse like Bruce but I feel like we've fallen on our feet with Howe.
