    Transfers are looking good
    Seem to be playing with more possession but it is Watford.
    Our poor shooting accuracy continues.
    “Must win” game. If we can’t beat the Watfords of the league, we will be relegated.

    Trippier getting some fan support with physical play.

    First half stats
    62% of possession
    10 shots, 0 on goal. <——This is killing us.

    Watford equalize
    FFS - That’s on Howe. Defensive shell cowardice.

    1-1
    And that’s why we will be relegated.
    The manager is shit and we can’t hit water if we fell out of a ********ing boat.

    I guess years of under-investment and shitty management under Ashley can't be undone in just a couple of months.

    Ah well, we've done this lower league rodeo twice recently before. Looking forward to 2024 season

    A lot can still happen until the end of the season. Leicester were bottom at winter the season before they won the league in 2015/16.

    Yeah the drop and pop has been something we've done before. Originally I fretted it'd mean being unable to make significant spends and signings cause you'd not be signing to an EPL quality team. But...it seems we're already there.

    I know it's only been a few games, but has Howe impressed anyone.
    Can you point to a significant change since he has been here?

    I think he has pushed towards possession, but we do not have players with the ability to maintain possession at this level.

    How many times do you see a pass go directly to an opponent?
    Your game plan may be phenomenal, but not if your players do not have the ability to execute it.

    They were gifted several chances. So, of course the one they score is 5 minutes from time.

    We're not seeing returns on the offensive side either. St. Max only scored after an error.

    watching Norwich and Watford this afternoon because the day is being spent trying to pass a kidney stone.

    The most excitement in the game was the electrical issues, until Watford's complete implosion began with a red card and an own goal.

    Until the implosion, both teams still looked better than Newcastle. Sigh.
