3 games after Villa

[Nufcian]

Luton, Forest, Bournemouth.

Given we played poorly, and lost, against each of them in the first round of fixtures, these are must win games.

If we lose any of them playing badly then I think, for the first time, that genuine questions will be asked of Howe.

Winter break, hopefully we get some players back and some decent training for the Fulham and Villa game so we hit those 3 games with momentum and confidence.

What has Eddie done wrong to think this? The team is playing with heart and pushing the best teams despite a disastrous season re player availability. I’m mot quite sure what people expect?

So basically you are saying that if a teams season is destroyed by injuries and suspesions, the manager must go.

We play with ONE proper midfielder FFS!

As I have said in a previous post Howe lost his job at Bournemouth because of a massive injury crisis which led to relegation

Where the f**k did I say he must go?

One midfielder? Remind me how many times Longstaff played last season?

At the minute we have Miley in the team for it to be away from what was a full strength first 11 last season… and for that team to not be able to play the ball out and keep it, even against City, especially when we have failed to do that against a sh!te Chelsea and lesser teams.

Never said a word while we had fixtures quick and fast, now players are getting a good break between games and he has time with them on the training pitch… if we play badly and lose to teams like Luton or Forest or Bournemouth then abso-feck!n-lutely Howe needs to accept he should be doing better

9 points. I'll be happy with 7.

Gonna put my neck on the block. Going for 9 pts and the beginning of a long run.

I’d accept less, but expect more.

I know I was in mardy moody when I wrote originally, but I’d accept playing well but the other team just being better… but playing poorly now after winter break and decent gaps between games isn’t something I think anyone should just accept.

I don’t expect that to be the case, and I expect 7 minimum, and 9 isn’t that much of a push… it’s the Fulham cup match midweek before the first match of the 3 that could play against us.

This is gonna be crucial.
We do need to be on top of our game there and gain momentum for the rest of the season
