Scotty66 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Yeah that's pretty shitty. He's never really hit it off here even under Bruce, Ritchie has been a good servant and was fantastic in the championship. It certainly won't be long before both of them leave now though.

54 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 After half a season (19 games) last year, we'd only won one game, this season we've only lost one. Weirdly, we have the exact same amount of draws (8). We had -23 goal difference at this point last season, and have +22 goal difference this year.

Yeah, that Watford result really was where there was, what felt like, a larger chunk of the fanbase really starting to question whether he was right for the job. Especially considering Benitez had just become available and everyone knew he was the ownership groups first choice. Thank no drastic decisions were made, as after that Watford result came the win at Leeds, which is where it all turned around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank no drastic decisions were made, as after that Watford result came the win at Leeds, which is where it all turned around. So much went against us pre January after Howe come in, be it individual errors or shite refereeing; Darlow costing us 2 goals directly v Brentford, penalty we didn't get at 0-0 at Arsenal, Clark red v Norwich, penalty given to Leicester down there at 0-0, head injury nonsense and Shelvey setting up a Liverpool goal at Anfield, pen we didn't get v Man City, failing to beat Man Utd despite thoroughly deserving to. Only Cambridge, Watford and the second half at Leicester in that run were really bad. But even still, we'd only brought in Trippier and Wood by the time that Watford game finished, sacking Howe and bringing Benitez in would've been mental. We'd clearly improved tactically under Howe and it was clear that despite the poor results, we needed the signings in to improve on the many weak links in the squad. Alas, we beat Leeds and have been in top 4 form ever since that result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very little recollection and memory pre-Leeds of any incidents in games apart from Clark one against Norwich. My memory is much stronger post-Leeds, more accurately that Everton game. Can pretty much recall what has happened to us from that game until today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Burnley win proving to be a bit of a false dawn (at least in terms of results if not performances) I really felt like a failing to beat Everton would have meant relegation was nailed on. That feeling of relief when Trippier's free kick went in and killed the game was amazing. After that it was good times till the end of the season.
