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.

Completely agreed, glad the results are starting to reflect his hard work.

 

I watched his full 31 min presser earlier, the way he talks about the club and his ambitions to improve players is tremendous. I know it’s been said but we’ve went from a football obsessive like Benitez to an absolute disgrace in Bruce, and now we’ve went to another football obsessive who is willing to work his arse off for the team.

 

If we stay up, we are going to invest heavily and I can see Wor Eddie becoming someone talked about glowingly in 20 years time or so.

The press conference was so good to listen to. Really enjoying listening to him talking about everything. So much thought is going to everything he does.
He's a right grafter, clearly.

For the first year or so I genuinely went out of my way to avoid hearing Bruce speak. Would change the channel etc; honestly couldn't bear it.

 

I honestly don't think I've missed a word that Eddie Howe has said in front of a camera since he arrived. Still not totally convinced about his ability (though think he's done pretty well on the whole) but I think he's a great person and I appreciate his dedication enormously.

Couldn’t agree more.

Aye bang on. And the lack of conviction is purely a time based thing I think. I dont think I couldve expected more thus far, but there's time yet.

I’ve always rated Howe from afar, but now he’s here I honestly see him as light years ahead of any other home grown manager and equal or better than many of those who’ve come here from abroad, now he’s at a big club, with unlimited resources and seemingly has the full and 100% support of the owners, board and fans and importantly the players, I can see (and hope), him going on to be a huge success here and a transformative figure in our club’s history. He just seems the perfect fit and I do hope he’s here to lead us to some glory and better days, even if we go down, I think he takes us straight back up and will have the same effect Rafa had, but at a higher level given our finances. Just keep us up this year and he will be a hero!

I think done are getting a little over excited on here lol he's doing a fine job at the moment seems smart and getting must things right but we're not safe yet.

We're not, but taking the positives it's safe to say that had he been here at the start of pre-season, with the additions, we wouldn't be talking about relegation. He's got 16 games more to go, double the games he missed.

How different is it when we are all pulling in the same direction?   It just feels great that we all want the same, from board to management to players to supporters. 

 

First time in for ever!
