    The table is less relevant than just saying we're 5th right now surely.

    Howe has clearly seen the error of his ways and it’s like the shackles have come off.

    Tonali is a really good player yet he kept persevering with Lobby.

    But he got there in the end.

    It's about points accumulated since Howe took over and nothing to do with league positions and beats the usual relegation fear we lived with before that.

    I like Howe and he has learned which is what we asked for. He’s realised that Italys best player is a better player than Lobby.

    To be fair to Howe there were people creating stat's trying to prove Newcastle can only lose if longstaff doesn't play, so it wasn't Howe he obviously already new and just waited until he had the excuse to drop longstaff.

    For me, yes. Next time there’s bumps, it’ll be more balanced criticism/views and won’t be about the manager,

    It swings in roundabouts.

    He made some howlers earlier in the season. So rightly so called out.

    Now he has seen the error of his ways and fixed things (lobby out Tonali in) he’s won 5/5 PL games. He’s done well.

    Credit is given when it is due. Not when it’s not.

    Just think he should have done the Tonali/Bruno thing earlier, and i have my doubts that he is the man to lift a trophy for us.

    Just being honest, but glad that he's turned it around, because i'm a Newcastle fan.

    here’s a thought… perhaps as a coach he decided early that he would slowly ease Tonali back into the pace of the PL or the rhythm of the side..It’s not as if he hasn’t done that before……

    There’s calling out and there’s spouting entitlement. Calling for Howe to be sacked earlier in the season was clearly the latter and way OTT for what was happening.

    Yes..i just think it took a few games longer than needed..but i'm willing to look past that now, he has done it and that's the main thing. Onwards.

    I don’t think I called for him to be sacked. I think I called for him to learn.

    And he has. So please do get what I am saying.

    I was getting frustrated with him earlier in the season. And the fact he’s got it right in giving him credit for it.

    It cuts both ways. You can’t only praise someone when it’s going well and not criticise when it’s not.

    That’s just blind delusional cultist faith.

    Highly reminiscent of the low IQ brigade that hounded SBR until FF listened.

    There was a lot of nonsense on Twitter etc. spouting that he should be sacked, sadly.

    Yes that’s true. I think we all know he’s the right man for the job. And he’s learned which is brilliant. Our current run of form is excellent.

    People seem to ignore when the bedwetters give credit (not aimed at you) and we are very fair.

    But the games we have won have been excellent.
