Holmowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Fabulous start P7. W4. D2. L1. GF10. GA4 We aren’t playing like Barcelona. But we are highly efficient and resilient. Four of of these games have been away. Even more impressive. Four goals against in 7 games is superb. Ten scored in 7 is good, though four were at Boro. Certainly scoring a second goal in games is where we struggle. But seven games in he has made us bloody tough to play against. Terrific start. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S63 Owl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Averaging 2pts per game - this is Top 2 form. Very positive start but really do need to by more deadly in front of goal to score that 2nd goal to kill games off. Can’t afford to have too many more lost points like Cardiff due to not getting that 2nd goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Agreed, Monk's doing well with the cards he's been dealt We're never going to score bucket loads with the players we have, but we're very organised at the back and everyone seem's to know their roles. Only another 17 1-0 wins and we're laughing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 We have a good squad and can cover most positions like for like . Monk seems to be tactically sound ..... I dont understand the negativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Lost 1 in 2 under Bullen. Lost 1 in 7 under Monk. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people have largely realistic expectations and although we aren’t playing fantastic we are grinding out the points. I’m happy with that.

pazowl55 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Saturday will be the barometer for monk. We sit back and allow Leeds to dictate. We will need Dawson and Westwood in the net. Saying that most of there shots go wide so we may be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Under Monk, won 4, lost one, against teams in the bottom 8. The other bottom three teams in the bottom 8, all beaten under Bullen. We haven't beaten a team (currently) above 17th in the table. Only picked up two points all season against teams (currently) 16th and higher. That record will be put right on Saturday.

He was the best choice available, and hes pretty well delivered up to now. I honestly think this league is wide open, not seen any team that is really strong. I think we should go for it, big style.

Luke Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Good start indeed But let's not kid ourselves we've played some awful teams so far Stoke had nothing upfront and bar a class save from Dawson they never looked like scoring Leeds will be a big test ,some players need to up their game now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I just hope that if we are still in and around the top 2 in Christmas/New year, DC backs Monk in the transfer window with what ever is available. Monk is doing an exceptional job with what he has but there is still something that needs tweaking slightly...another striker to get this elusive second goal, I’m not quite sure but I am confident Monk would get it it right. We couldn’t ask for much more at this stage. Top start!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what else can be asked of him Agree we couldn’t ask any more, but mediocre players is harsh. I’d say 7-8 of the team last night are as good as anything else you’d find in this league. It’s just a couple of attacking players needed to give our organised side a creative spark. If we signed an attacking left back to replace Fox and creative winger to replace Reach I’d say the team is as good as anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luongo is decent and will get better if he shakes off these nigglings injuries . Palmer is a solid right back . The rest for me I’d like to improve on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
