Prince Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Jesus Christ I am finding it hard to stand by the give Monk time ethos with that line up. What’s the point of paying loan fees for players to sit on the bench. What’s the point of having Fletcher, Nuhiu and Wickham all on the bench either, 3 versions of the big man up front, I personally can’t see that side giving a very average Birmingham side a game today.

TrickyTrev Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It’s really REALLY starting to p**s me off how that f**king joke of a footballer Joey no tackles keeps getting a starting place. The guy is absolutely dreadful, he’s in affective and he keeps on turning out s**t performance after s**t performance week after week and still gets a starting place. I have always backed Monk as I believe the problems at the club go way higher than him but he’s really not helping himself here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 should be playing on the ground, no good putting high balls up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffed Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Was prepared to give Monk the benefit and a chance but deary me... that lineup Last month he was bemoaning that we weren’t creating enough chances for our strikers..... so he goes out and signs 4 more strikers 2 weeks later he plays no strikers Did he just chuck all the shirt numbers up in the air and see where they landed?

Doghouse Daz Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Forestieri 250/1 for a hat trick. I've stuck 5p on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camffiti Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Choosing from the players that Monk deems selectable Only Wickham for one of the 3 wide forwards, is a surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Soak it up and bang them on the counter. I get the theory. Dawson Iorfa Lees Borner Palmer Murphy Lee Pelupessy Bannan Harris Forestieri Dawson Iorfa Lees Borner Palmer Pelupessy Lee Bannan Murphy Forestieri Harris Shame that Fox isn't ready to start yet and the shuffle moves Iorfa again. Muprhy has earned a recall and Forestieri has been lively No Reach with his toe injury so Harris an obvious call. We can mump and moan about Joey, Dawson etc. But the press conference made it quite clear that nothing will change on that score. Unless the players change... so we're just going to have to crack on with it folks and get behind the lads that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Let’s be charitable and optimistic. 50mph winds out there. Maybe, just maybe, Monk has drilled into them to get the all down and play it to feet, with the tiny Bannan, Lee, Murphy, Forestieri, Harris, Joey being ideal for this. Maybe?

We’ll just get by-passed again. There are questions whether FF is even a striker, monk plays him up there on his own Who do we play in the middle then? Also, FF as played a striker role previously. The team will certainly be set up to counter attack rather than playing aimless balls!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is close to strikerless as we are going to see. Think Forestieri will drop into gaps with Bannan and look to play Harris and Murphy in. It is designed to counter well. Like I said it works brilliantly or completely falls apart as players cant get the way to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre isn’t it! Play two wingers with no one to get on the end of it. Gone from players wanting to get sack to Monk helping nail his own coffin shut.
