DobbinTheDonkey Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 O have some sympathy with Monk. He hasn't got his backroom staff. The players are a fvck1ng set of w4nkers. No matter who comes in the old backroom staff and squad will let them to. They can all fack off for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I,ve been supportive of him up to now mainly because I don’t agree with changing manager every few months. The performance last night had me changing my mind. To play a system he hasn’t tried before and the players chosen clearly weren’t ready for was inexcusable. Two games against the bottom clubs this week was the ideal time to put a stop to a bad run of form, but he blew it by tinkering with tactics and team selection. Don’t see how he can recover from this now so after watching that it’s best to go for a stop gap manager to end of season. Question is who? Well you never know who might be interested until you look but the likes of Megson and Carlos could hardly do worse. At least they had a certain way of playing that they adhered to.

bigdan2003 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I voted to keep him, but right now i wouldn't be bothered if he left. But the issue's aren't suddenly resolved if he does leave. He's not the root cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was just embarrassing and Monk has to shoulder some of the blame. Sacking him will change nothing though. The problems lie at the top and can't be easily resolved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the sensible thing to do would be that, if you have no one capable of playing LWB, don't change the system and put someone there who doesn't look comfortable and completely alien to the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players have failed under 3 different managers now. Monks tactics and subtitles baffle me at times but I don’t think we should just chuck the towel in this early! Not entirely true, more than half the team last night were not players who had failed under different managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankless task. Back 3 doesn't work, back 4 doesn't either at the moment. What does he do next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyblack Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 What happens if we sack Monk and the players suddenly start playing like world beaters, Is that excusable? I remember Chelsea under Mourinho who were a disgrace at the time, low and behold, new manager comes in suddenly its all good again. Are these guys really 'professional'??

Not knocking him for wanting to try something different but only do it when you have the players available to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer has been better at LB this season rather than his usual RB. It just made no sense at all to switch systems without having the player(s) to see it through. If we're that reliant on Fox, no matter how he's improved, it shows how much we have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume we will go to a back 4 again on saturday but who knows. Fox is integral to us as we dont have anyone else for that role. He is one of our most consistent players so far this season. And yes we have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Got to be honest I can’t see DC doing anything about this situation. He always takes too long to decide anything. If Monk does stay he needs to be allowed to bring his own staff in, an absolutely pathetic situation that he hasn’t already. Also apart from Fox Monk had better not renew any of those lazy sods contracts. Get rid of them all and also hope we can sell a couple still under contract.

We have no plan, no structure and it looks like the players don't know where they are playing. We have been saying the same thing for the last 4 years, how is that Monk's fault?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls77 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Just a food for thought, Monk goes that will be another obscure foreign coach we bring in. It’s absolutely embarrassing our neighbours got promoted because their players were determined to go through brick walls for their manager, our players just throw the towel in when the going gets tough, they’re an embarrassment to our football club and the sooner the spine of this team goes the better.
