    I find that weird. He seems oddly detached from the situation. Can’t put my exact finger on it, but it’s strange.

    He’s like everyone else. Believing it’s not his fault and that it’s the previous regime and manager.

    He almost said it today in his interview. He said word for word this…..
    We've damaged ourselves to a point, but you always have an opportunity to bounce back," the Newcastle boss said.

    "I think it's psychological. There was a thought to protect what we had so early in the game and we lost our attacking threat in the match, but that should never be the case with so long to go.

    "That's linked to confidence, and probably not having won as many games as we would have liked in a long period of time.

    "I just hope it doesn't leave mental scars for the players. I'm sure it won't because we will analyse the game and then work to try and change it."

    Yeah, see what I mean? He’s talking as if he’s a pundit watching on. He’s the manager. He should change it, but doesn’t. It’s weird.

    It’s because he’s weak and he’s not actually a very good manager. The sooner everyone realises this the better.

    I just wonder how long it is going to take some people to realise because they want him to succeed. Which is fair I guess.

    If DPP and Sheikh are right, Kenyon will be able to see it quite quickly.

    I hope what your saying is what I am thinking.

    Things can’t get that much worse in reality.

    I’m starting to think Howe gave Mandy a Howard Stern style orgasm during the job interview

    Howe talks well but he's just full of piss and wind.

    He's removed all the pace which wax out brat asset.. Our only strength

    I'm speechless at the lack of positional sense from Wood yesterday. I can't fathom how a target man was allowed to constantly drift to the flanks and sit really deep without the manager rectifying this.

    If the idea is getting a couple of wingbacks in to whip crosses in from deep then a target man needs to be central and in position to either head or shoot towards goal or win a header for a knockdown for a central midfielder to have a shot.

    This wasn't even schoolboy errors both yesterday and last week. Even a ****ing primary school PE teacher would have spotted this ****. It is very worrying.

    Howe is proving to be a huge mistake, but I don't think anyone thought it could get worse myself included.

    He's getting nothing right, he's removed the wrong players in willock and Almiron and he's bought someone big and slow up front.

    If Watford draw with Burnley and Norwich rand we beat Leeds we might have a chance, but tbh I think Watford will win both games.

    Eddie howe should be sacked if we lose to Leeds.. He's another idiot reading a manual.. A Manuel that says hold onto 1 goal Leeds and rely on experience...

    The worst thing about going down is that lacelles will still be here at least another 2 years

    I don't know what the answer is or where it lies mate. Well I do, but I don't get the chance to address it. I hate myself for being as critical as I am being. I'm the polar opposite of being negative. I'm classing us as gone and if we pull it around then brilliant.

    We were all just sat back waiting for the equaliser. We knew it was coming. rather than burying the game they ****ing **** themselves again.

    I'm not one for knee jerk reactions but Lascelles can not play another game and does need stripped of the arm band. Shelvey need shot out a ****ing cannon. Wood was **** - what was the ****ing point? ****stuff needs piggybacked to Everton.

    Howe was brought in because everyone believed Bruce was the problem, but Howe has found a way to make it worse while also sticking with the likes of lacelles and jonjo.

    We've gone down without either Bruce or Howe playing the side that did so well for the last 11 games of the previous season..

    So how well educated are they?

    Howes had 37 ms and we are worse and he'll still sign more crap players

    The club is rotted to the core.

    Not including Trippier in this, but I wouldn't care if the rest were just dumped on the dole and we started from scratch.

    I can forgive a lack of talent I can't forgive a lack of bottle or a lack of effort.

    He's a good player but other areas were more lacking.

    It's the clubs position in Jan that made it impossible to get the players they wanted and Howe failed to get the club out the mess.

    He's had what 1 win in 10 and lost at home to Cambridge! He's now wasted 37ms

    Cms!! Cms... Thats all that was ever required

    None of it makes sense - not a damn bit of it.

    From the Get go. From the business view of completing the purchase when they did, the no manager lined up, the no DOF lined up. The no new players lined up. It's just a cluster **** of errors where it appears the heart ruled the head.

    Howe is **** that's the biggest problem.

    Anyone would do better than Bruce they said... Well they were wrong
