oldishowl Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Unless Monk does heart transplants in his spare time he is wasting his time trying to sort some of this lot out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelerian Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Regarding this transfer window, if I was GM, I would go to DC and beg and plead as much as is necessary for him to back me in bringing in just 1 player. And then go out there and find and sign my captain. For a couple of years now we have been crying out for a proper captain. A captain who wont take any poo from anyone, on or off the pitch. A captain who will make his team mates accountable, and drag us through games kicking and screaming. A Roy Keane, if you will. This would be and should be his 1st way to make his mark on Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. And to rid us of the absolute mess that his predecessors left us in.

Guest The Horse Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Analogy time but it's like we're still paying for the time we were blinded by our glamorous new girlfriend (in the16-17 seasons) who we let max out the credit card on shiny useless crap that you couldn't even sell on to Cash Converters. He's just frustrated I think at the way the club is still in a malaise as we just have to sit out the time it takes to be able to spend again. Sensibly. During this drift, he's got players who he can't shift on but are lead weights around the club both in terms of attitude and ability. He's probably also seen the power and influence Paxo has. He needs patience and support and to at least this time next year before any real judgement can be made.

I'd make sure we keep Dawson. Sentimentality says I'd like to give Lee & hutch another year, but being pragmatic it's a no we need to look at younger, hungrier and fitter. Other than that, fox has finally began to show he can cut it and wouldn't be an expensive rotation /stand in fullback or cb as he's shown he can fill in there. The rest can go, not consistant or give enough back considering wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play crap and have a bad attitude tell them. Maybe it's too late and all footballers are a bit soft where they need a positive reinforcement all the time.

I can offer no criticism of the other 6; all have served us well at times but we need to focus on the future now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissmess Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Lord Snooty and Monk, get a room, easier than getting real. Monk wants to keep his job, I hope he turns it around but it needs more than words to a receptive audience of believers and cheerleaders led by star struck fanboy.

Only thing that makes a differecnce is changing something, not talking about it. Monk has had zero impact on players mindset. Just shows how the hopeful see every sign in the sky as a portent and hang on every word optimistically. Only thing Monk seems to do is say what people want to hear. I would rather he said something to the players and we saw the impact of that on the pitch. He will make a good summariser and guest analyser when he leaves here. Because that's all they are, empty words. Signifying nothing except blaming someone else, anyone else. We were 11th when he became manager - we're 10th now. Steady progress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d only keep Dawson and Fox if they sign this week or they can be flogged to the highest bidder too. Also maybe Hutch because I think he said he had another year on the radio a few weeks ago.
