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. Spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hooper Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 While we're on the subject, did anyone get their payout yet for lumping it on Rowett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that is true. Monk has played the hand he has been dealt well. A lot of the sides we have played, indeeed most of the teams in this league are not interested in playing football. We continue to make more chances than we score, but we are picking up points and are THIRD. Well done Monk, so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told none of us will ever know if it would have been better or worse, or what the long term plan was. He was a deserter. Pudding after his kebab. Cheesecake after his mixed grill And Banoffee Pie after his fish and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No club scores from every chance they make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpark Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 In hindsight it seems odd how little Monk, who now seems the obvious candidate, was ever mentioned during that long period before DC got round to appointing someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
