    Tbh I prefered what I saw under Jones in a way.. Hard to beat. I feel like Howe has tried to turn water into wine. I have to wonder whether we should've waited until we had the right players in.

    The flip side is of course that the side now has started to play a certain way so if they plug the right holes it might suddenly click

    The reinforcements need to arrive fast, but it's already too late for Watford

    Not necessarily too late for Watford. Midfielders, yes. But a striker could make the difference.

    Hopefully after yesterday they now know the urgency of our needs.

    It seems to take us weeks to do a medical, so I think we'll be having to go with what we've got next weekend.

    If they can get a win everything changes overnight. Out the bottom 3 and players will start saying go on then.

    In the mean time, Stephenson, White and Anderson should be considered as first team players

    Both should've played yesterday and white.. I don't want to start moaning about Howe i realised many years ago that the players aren't good enough, but yesterday I think he made a huge mistake and missed the opportunity to give those lads their debut.

    Now he doesn't know if they can do the business and won't risk them vs Watford.

    I am sick of the sight of Fraser, ritchie, shelvey, Longstaff and Murphy

    Another thing I keep hearing is the need for fighter.. Well the only one we've got Howe leaves on the bench

    Personally think Murphy is ok. Will give 100%. Can play in a variety of positions. A reasonable crosser of the ball and can striker it as well

    I don't get why he's not playing Almiron.

    He's picking his mate Fraser... If there's a player I'd pick in our current situation it's almiron.. He gives everything and he's a, pain in the arse for the other team.

    He's everything max isn't

    No, but he deserves to be questioned and criticised when results are poor.

    I'm not having this crap about needing better players when he's leaving almiron out for Fraser

    No. But we can question what's happening and what we would do.

    I mean we've ended up with another manager that thinks lacelles and Shelvey should play every game.

    He rested lacelles as if he's the most important player... Worrying

    I wasn't really keen on when we hired him tbh, at the time we just needed **** better than Bruce.

    I would also blame our owners are taking too long to do the right things we need, from hiring a manager and still no competent DoF and even till now we signed only one player. That's not what you want to see, If we're are to become the next Man City, as they did their things faster.

    Did they do things quicker though? They also said at the time that they would pump £500m over the next couple of seasons
    And that was when transfer fees were half they are now

    I think they look daft, but really they've come in at the worst time and we should really be grateful for that. They've risked looking daft when they could've and perhaps should've waited to see where things stood today.

    The clubs league position is the reason behind everything they're struggling with.

    I've concluded it's very unfair to judge them at all yet. All I know is they look daft, but are clearly going to take the club to knew heights in the end

    In the end we get the last laugh
