Get rid of him (no offence to the lad). We can only have 5 subs on the bench now. That means 1 keeper and 1 midfielder 1 defender and 1 forward. The 5th player is likely to be a midfielder too. Howard is an outdated model of British football maybe good for 10 here and 15 there. He is a liability as he cant run, constantly moans, and covers around 20m sq of the pitch. Kermit is actually a better player in that position (queue Kermit haters owing to one ****ed up pen) - actually not suggesting that Kermit should be of the bench but thought i'd put it out there. I just dont understand the love in with Howard. We have Waggy, Schlupp, Nugent, Vassel, Gallagher at least and all are way ahead of Howard. We've moved on from League 1 hoofball so this is a good move. Move on lads...
Steve Howard has been a very good servant to the club and I'll always be grateful for his performances whilst we were in league 1. If we are a club with real aspirations to get into, and stay in, the Premier League, however, then it is time to look beyond players like Howard.
