I don’t think so. My feeling is that Eddie doesn’t rate him or can’t mould him. If that is the case then we should ship him back. I suspect we only pounced because he became available.

they probably quoted us £180m

I wouldn’t. Not in this game.

Everton was 8 games ago. Im playing devils advocate but it can be painted two different ways. I’m fully behind Eddie but every defeat is chipping away at him. And it’s the manner of defeat which is alarming,

he looks half fit. But then I’m not sure I can claim anyone looks match fit out of the 11. maybe only Tino and Miley.

you’ve missed us getting thumped off Everton out of that. We’ve been played off the park and/or conceded chance after chance in most of the games (bar Fulham who had 10 men). I think that’s the striking thing is we’ve deserved what we’ve got from those games (bar Meelan). There have been a lot of humpings in that run.

I’m more worried about them just being fitter and wanting it more.

It depends on how you look at. Forest at home and Luton away arent great. i can see this trajectory carrying on to be honest unless we get some players on the pitch that are 100% fit.

Sunderland is a key game. That would lose him a portion of the supporters.

There must be a cut off point though. For example, If he loses the next 6 games will he survive? That would be 13 defeats out of 14.

I think staveley likes him and has understood the minor miracle he has achieved thus far. I’m sure she is aware of the injury problems we have as well. I’m one concern is that she wears her heart on the sleeve. im basing all of this on body language from the documentary.

Aye. Man City for me. i couldn’t stand Villa winning it and it’s funny seeing Spurs screw up.

Saltburn. Im not sure what to make of it. I think it was more style of substance. Its been done before but there were a few WTF moments.

We need to give them a week off in Dubai or something. Get some sun and RnR.

Why is there a week off ? Its not an international break, I don't think.

Yeah. The midfield is without doubt the issue. They are gassed or unfit. As I’ve said before you can’t play with this much intensity 2 times per week. This is leaving the defence massively exposed. Miley is super talented but he needs to come out, especially away from home. im not sure what the answer is as I don’t think the players are suddenly going to find the energy. . The season is going to end like a wet fart with mid table finish. Possibly lower half. Massive job for Howe to get some momentum back.

I don’t think there are any guarantees we’ll ever get there with FFP cock-blocking us.

Drury is the worst of the worst.

Who has the balls to start the Mackems thread ?

I’m not watching it. The problem with sky is they just pick Man U and Liverpool players. There is very little variation.

Yeah. Of course they are biased. I don’t mind it all. It’s completely natural. Given is when he does punditry for us for example.

Just so I can jump on board. who are we slagging off for every mistake tonight now that Miggy is benched?
