    Yes but Howe is getting an easy ride because the fans blamed Bruce not the players.

    Because Howe has had 2.5 months in charge and 2.5 weeks of a window to undo 2.5 years of **** under Bruce.

    But Bruce finished 13th then 12th and still it wasn't good enough.

    Howe was brought in to get results from this squad and he's failing miserably.

    2.5 months into Bruce's reign nufc had their best start in a decade and the fans said the football was crap and wanted Bruce out.

    Actually think Howe did his job on Saturday. We dominated the game despite our obvious personnel issues, created opportunities but he can't physically help them keep calm in the moment and pick the right pass or hit the target. Big Joe should have had a couple. They're just **** end of story. We need better players. I get that PL experience is ideal, but we just need better players wherever they come from. Ours are so much worse than I thought at the start of the season.

    One shot on target in 90 minutes? Watford should've won 4 - 1..

    I'll credit Howe when he's not doing badly just like I did with Bruce.

    The very same bunch that refused Bruce any credit during his reign are now trying to take the moral high ground when I criticise Howe for poor results and performances.

    You do realise Howe is not taking the shots though right? I was at the game, we had good situations and good chances. The PLAYERS failed to capitlise on them sadly. Just the way it goes when you have **** players.

    That can't be true...

    Bruce signed in July 2019...

    Lost to Arsenal, Lost to Norwich, Win at Spurs, Drew to Watford, Lost to Liverpool, Drew with Brighton, Lost to Leicester, Won vs Man u, Lost to Chelsea, Drew with Wolves in his first 10 league games and went out of cup to Leicester? (W2, D3, L5)

    I will when people stop talking to me like I'm being unfair criticising Howe


    I'll credit when it's due not just because it suits a personal agenda

    You're not going to convince me that they played well.

    I will credit when it's due and criticise when it's not.

    Just as I did the previous manager.

    To be fair we were utter **** for around a decade before so not much to go on there.

    But you have to agree - Howe needs time you can't start slating him, playing with the awful players he hasn't bought in un-doing years worth of negative mentality in the process (I include Rafa's tactics in there - although he could at least organize a defence)
