OoOGazOoO Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Posted this in the Relegationometer thread, but think it deserves to go in here too. The table when Eddie Howe took over. I had to have another look just to remind myself how HORRENDOUS our league position was. Literally UN BEL IEVE ABLE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Only just noticed tonight that him and Tindall don't have their initials on their tops and I love them for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Genuinely don’t believe anyone could do the job he’s done. He came here with an absolute fire in him to succeed. He’s developed during his time out of management. He’s created belief and confidence in every player in the squad, pretty much every single player has improved under him. Would never have imagined we’d turn into a solid team defensively this season. He’s a miracle worker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t stand that sort of filth, losers like Sammy Lee and Steve McClaren with initials over all their gear. So smalltime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samptime29 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) The really encouraging thing is we have 6 clean sheets and 6 wins from those games. We have got the job done and closed the game out well in all those games. Very encouraging. 4 quality additions next season and we are looking fairly strong tbh.

wormy Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 This result bodes well for when we evaluate his position this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 He's done a phenomenal job since he took over. Easy to forget just how demoralised, dispirited, disorganised and unhappy the squad he inherited was when he walked in but he's lifted the entire place and flipped it 180. They look like they're enjoying themselves and are following the instructions to the letter. Results are finally matching performances and the entire mood around the place has changed and it's largely down to him, he's been superb. Also hope Ashley is sitting in his armchair watching all of this and thinking 'Fuck, that could have been my club. Why didn't I just take care of it and give a shit about it?' The fucking prick.

Kid Icarus Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I still rate Emery, but I'm so so happy we ended up with Howe and have done what we needed to while playing, at times, some nice football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the exposure the thick cunt's company could have been getting if only he'd put some effort in. Using a wonderful word that you use to reference Bruce, what a gormless twat. Good riddance to the cunt. Hope he rots in hell, soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance to the cunt. Hope he rots in hell, soon. I know it probably sounds really petty to think of him regretting it but if it nags away on a daily basis then I'm happy with that. The potential of the club has never been an issue, ensuring it's maximised was never on his agenda and he's fucking missed out. But let's not get bogged down with that scummy cunt, it's all about Howe now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think he should get some credit for being patient and sensible but it would've been very harsh to change that middle three which was doing so well around that time. I'm sure Bruno wouldn't have needed much help to get going, but having next to no pressure on him whilst he was settling in has to have helped.

NEEJ Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 What's absolutely mental is we're killing it with next to no threat up top and without Trippier. Imagine us with Trippier and Wilson (or another quality striker) back, man. Disclaimer: I wholly appreciate the job Chris Wood is doing and he's a big part of why we are where we are, but he's a squad player at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
