fpowl Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 We are a left back, centre forward and winger away from being serious top two contenders in my opinion we say it every year this year is there for the taking but as it stands we’ve got ourself in a really good position not sure if penny could be that left back and not sure if we can get any deals done for any of the other two positions I’m convinced we are stuck with Rhodes and winnal they could have been our hope to get players in but I can’t see anyone touching them good place to be in lets eta go get a result on Saturday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its motivated, hard working and the league postition shows that. The difference will come in January. Will Garry Monk have assessed the team well enough to add the correct spark. He seems to have learned from the mistake of playing 4-4-2 with our losses against Hull. QPR. They could have been avoided. Millwall away was a complete fluke result. Preston away was an off day for Moses Odubajo. Last 17 mins against Cardiff, going 4-4-2 was utterly insane but I'm sure he's aware. Instead of plugging gaps and paying respect, we went all Rambo and tried to blow them away, which ultimately failed. Performances aren't the best. I'm not running down to Hillsborough for a ticket just yet, however its winning football. Long may it continue. Bit harsh on QPR as he wasn’t in charge!

Truth be told none of us will ever know if it would have been better or worse, or what the long term plan was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to gauge people's opinion now, and let's do so not just at the end of the season but maybe just after Christmas too. I'm personally not convinced on Monk, he says the right words and currently I think he has a great % win ratio, but it is early days as I said. Equally i'm not sure on the other two either though, guess i'm just a pessimist when i'm not sure on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarn owl Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 So far so good for monk. Perfect style of football as we are Winning. If you want possession stats and ex g nonsense then go elsewhere. This team is made on keeping clean sheets and taking our chances. Keep doing that and we’ll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield had played 7, lost 6, drawn 1 when they came in. Since then they've played 7, lost 2, drawn 3, won 2. Unbeaten in 5. Go on their fans forum and people are saying they haven't looked as good since going up under Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Monks off field issues put me off at the outset but in terms of his actual record he was one of the top choices. Still young, managed at the top and some big clubs and he’s quite level headed/a thinker. His teams do well. I think all three are of a similar mould and get that bit extra from their team. But Monk just has that extra bit of experience at the top end which probably makes the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justbeanz Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Had to laugh at the commentator at the Udders match the other night. He said that Cowley had called the terrier mascot into his office n told him to be more enthusiastic after the mascot had spit the dummy out n sat down on the edge of the pitch against us. Mascot motivation at its best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Monks relative success doesn’t mean the Cowleys are crap or that Gary (lump on) Rowett won’t do well. I know some folk are keen to replace the full backs but I hope he goes in to the loan market in Jan to get a young midfielder with energy who can pick a pass and a pacy hungry striker. Essentially we are still relying on a core of good pros who have just come up short in the past and are likely to do so again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
