Craig enock Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Felt monk's substitutes were poor tonight... needed forestieri on pitch to take the pressure of our defence... monk's doing a great job though .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Yes I agree, especially as he was then bemoaning the fact that we couldn’t keep the ball. Should have been Nuhiu for Fletcher, and Forestieri for Reach. Leave Bannan and Harris on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nut Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 So far hes a very negative manager but I do think he'll do well for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzuki_San Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 They were subs to grind out a 0-1. Once we were pegged back, we were screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say that, he wants us to be solid, and we were for an hour, but then we stopped trying to play football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Never take Bannan off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I think he was always going to keep FF for the two upcoming home games. His subs didn’t work but we were under the cosh for 20 mins beforehand, so he had to change it. I’m not yet convinced about Monk...I thought his tactics at Hull were awful...but tonight I blame the players who again showed a soft centre.

Being solid and difficult to break down away from home isn't negative. You could maybe argue the decision to not put Forestieri on was 'negative' but the overall performance was far from it.

sage owl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 We took off the 2 most creative players on the night !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperwinngardensowl Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Taking off a midfielder for a striker is hardly negative. having said that I would have taken Reach (nondescript) or Hutch (tiring and booked) off before Bannan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I would have taken Reach off for Murphy, not Harris , and done a straight swap with Fletch off for Dave . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager must make gambles, we played out 2/3 of the match and he tried to shore it up. Win some, lose some. I believe he made a call to aid recovery of players to increase availability in future matches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why not take off Fletcher or Hutch who have ongoing fitness issues, or Luongo who is apparently carrying a knock, or Borner who’s played the most minutes this season or Palmer who played twice in the international break. Rather than Bannan or Harris who have good injury records? Not trying to be argumentative Slinger but I’m really struggling to understand your point that Bannan and Harris should have been substituted tonight because they are creative players who we might need more in other matches this season ....

I was alluding to fitness, not necessarily sustaining injuries. Maybe the selections were based on players whose absences are difficult to cover so help with their availability and energy for other matches. I'm sure the manager has a good idea of who he feels can be rotated within positions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Took off 2 of our better players and replaced them with 2 of our poorer ones.....don’t be surprised if that has a negative impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
