Monks Game Management

Yeah, we should get rid of him. 

 

Bloody useless :duntmatter:

 

Didn't say Monk is useless, or that we should be looking to replace him.

 

But ask yourself this..

 

How many points have we lost this season because of goals conceded after the 85th minute?

Is that acceptable?

Shouldn't the manager be doing something about that?

If not, then what are we paying him to do?

It’s the mentality of some of the players. They don’t have the mentality of winners, they aren’t ruthless enough, determined enough to go out with the mindset that we won’t get beat. 
 

Monk has inherited a team bereft or confidence and a bunch of players who simply aren’t winners.

Its football...

How many times over the years have we scored in the last minute to snatch points off teams.

Get over it

Hardly ever, that's the point. Wouldn't be so bad if we did it to teams but we don't. As soon as 6 minutes went up we all know what would happen, at 1-1 I was praying for the whistle.

When the ref is clearly being biased, we should be much smarter. Instead we have Bannan sliding round on his arse, giving away needless free kicks all over the place

That bias ref did very well not to send Bannan off for a very bookable foul, and must have blinked when he missed the stonewall pen for them.

 

Don't blame the ref for the foul count... we fouled that many times because we were half a yard slower than them. Ref did us more favours than not.

It’s a shame because during such a dismal performance, we had the mentality to somehow claw our way into the lead... 

 

But the last few minutes were shambolic as we invited pressure - it never works so why do we do it? Lazy? Lacking fitness? Over to Monk to solve something he’s not been able to do so far. I hope he’s not telling them to sit so deep!

The 13 points we’ve lost this season because of late-game f*ck-ups could be the difference between us getting into the playoffs or not.

 

Or if we end up with a significant points deduction which drags us into a potential relegation battle, those 13 points dropped could cost us our Championship status.

 

No biggie then.

Maybe the captain should be getting them together after we get a lead and tell them to concentrate and not make silly mistakes?

I was actually thinking similar, in fact I’d like to see a bit more on field leadership from our captain

If we haven’t learned by now how important every single point is in this league, we never will.

 

Fully agree Westfield.

We also picked up 4 points against Fulham, Birmingham and Charlton from where we were with 10 mins to go.

 

Of the 13 we’ve chucked away, Blackburn (3) and Swansea (2) we also scored in the last 10 mins and ended up with the same amount of points (1) that we were on for after 80 mins. 
 

So if the games had all ended on 80 mins we’re 4 points worse off for the late goals, not 13.

 

Its swings and roundabouts to a certain extent.. but clearly there’s an issue with us not defending well at the end. And it’s obvious why, we sit too deep and don’t dominate the games enough to see them through

We have snatched points off loads of teams just as much as they have us. Not so much this season.

Its football and we are Sheffield Wednesday. If you want a team that wins every game you're following the wrong club pal

Its not worth wasting your time mate.

Let the babies cry, they will all be happy clapping again when we beat cardiff by a sneaky pen or a last minute goal.

we only have ourselves to blame if we're not in the top 6 this season, we could be comfortably in there now. Nuhiu should never start a game again, he would have been perfect to bring on when we were 2-1 up for hoofball, still tallest player on the pitch and he never wins a touch for a second ball. We're crying out for a young pacy striker

Jesus wept!

If you think like that then we should be winning every game.

Champions league next season.

No Biggie!

If you think for one minute we deserved any of those extra points then you are as deluded as those from the stain.

Those 13 points would put us top of the league.

Now I dont know what rank supporter you are, full time, part time, happy clapper, prawn sandwich, nuhiu hater, hardcore, away day, 60 year season ticket .... whatever...

But any fan who thinks we should be at the top of the league playing like this is an absolute muppet and needs serious counselling immediately.

We are 4th in the league and playing absolutely gash enjoy it whilst you can

I can’t actually believe we’re 4th playing this averagely and conceding late goals. All feels a bit flat.. guess it’s because Utd doing so well and the EFL stadium thing. Definitely doesn’t feel as good as 2015-16 or 2016-17. If we’re still in the play offs with 10 games to go and the points deduction goes away then maybe we can get more excited

Nuhiu's been poor for about a month now though.

 

Not really sure what's the problem with him but he seems unfit.

 

Prior to this last month he was playing well.

 

In any case, he needs taken out of the team for a while. Hopefully, Fletcher's back, but if not then I'd say it's Winnall's turn to start some games.

 

Nuhiu has been poor (apart from the odd flashes) for about 6 years now...he isn't a footballer at all.
