    Exactly, still could have lost but the young lads would certainly have given their all and rightly applauded for their efforts.

    Howe just got it wrong. It’s simple.

    To many people are giving him a free ride.

    I saw that defeat coming as soon as I saw the team selection. 2 right backs, 4 wingers and no strikers for whatever reason meant that the team was as lop sided as f*ck, too many square pegs in round holes and all that. Stacks of possession but no goal threat plus a goalie who has turned to sh*t. Never mind tho eh wot!

    But Howe ****ed up. The same players ****ed up. But most of our fans are going to turn a blind eye and say. It’s not his team and he’s not signed anyone and the players are ****.

    But no one will question the fact that he’s only won one game. When BRUCE last season was getting results with the same players.

    He’s not immune to criticism!

    Good another human who sees it for what it is. A lot seem to think the sun shines out of his arse and yet he’s done no better than Bruce so far.

    I don't think he is getting a free ride. Most people are saying he got the team wrong today. What we don't want to do is write him off when he is still picking from Bruce and Rafa's players. What are we supposed to do? Go on social media and hound him and throw abuse at him? Go to the next game and boo him? None of that helps. He is our manager and we are in a fight for our league survival. We need to get behind the team and trust him to keep improving things, which has happened in the league when we have had a fuller squad available to pick from.

    He got it wrong today picking midfielders in attack. He should have played developing players who are attackers. Personally I don't have a problem with him picking first teamers where they were available for their correct positions cos I wanted us to give the cup a go. What I don't understand is the repeated choice of dealing with injury and illness of playing people out of position instead of choosing players from lower down the pecking order in their correct positions.

    No hounding just saying it for what it is. He got it wrong. And he’s not getting anything better out of the players we have which means he’s no better than Bruce.

    He has done nothing better so far. He’s making mistakes weekly.

    He’s over rated for me. And he needs to be judged under the same realms as Bruce or it was unfair on Bruce.

    He’s done bad so far. Today is a perfect example of a manager who ****ed up.

    Laughing stock of world football right now we are.

    He max that is. Is also another one who is getting a free ride. He is a luxury player.

    He does the odd bit of magic but in the grand scheme of things does **** all.

    You have to wonder what they think of the situation. They know they're not wanted.

    I do disagree that we aren't improving. Bruce did well last season but was absolutely hopeless this season. The performances have improved more than the results, but even the results have improved slightly.

    They still need to improve a hell of a lot more though.

    It get a bit boring listening to people blaming manager after manager after manager.

    The players aren't good enough, but it's clear we're playing differently and when better players come in we can judge properly.

    I tried telling people it wasn't Bruce's fault
