I understand in situations where it is non league or league 1/2 against premier league teams. This certainly doesn’t apply to us, regardless of how good man city are. We will be outplayed technically from minute 1, we will not be criticised for this. What we will be criticised for is a lack of grit and certain not willing to put their bodies on the line. If we don’t see much of this tomorrow then this will send out a big message. You can say it’s monks fault for being ‘thrown under the bus’, but one of the major strengths of a Decent manager is being able to manage the dressing room, which has not been evident since Christmas. Totally disagree, for me if we turn up tomorrow, then it really underlines the total lack of commitment the players have, that they try when they want and not for the club.

flo Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I've said it for the last few seasons. Forget the league it's boring focus on the cups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it, I just think he’s gone past the point of no return very much like Jos did. Would anyone on here really trust him to carry out the necessary rebuild given what we’ve seen from his tenure here so far? Sadly I agree. We need a totally new start. We should say thank you, yet goodbye. These failings have tainted him too I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 We certainly do have something to lose tomorrow - it's called a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players that have let themselves and the fans down consistently this season. Probably closest to a combination of the two-players and Monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frastheowl Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 So the OP has made up a hypothetical situation, where the players don't bother to try against one of the best teams in the World, to blame the manager. How does that even enter your head? How do the players avoid culpability in this made-up situation? Quite staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhubarb n Custard Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If nothing else it will be the stiffest test we'll face all season. After the City examination all other opponents in the Championship will feel relatively easy. You never know... They might learn something. They might be inspired. And they might not... That's our enigma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that?

Big worry is we're a team that low on confidence, it's basically at rock bottom. Just think what an absolute pasting will do to us. Could have the opposite effect as well, a decent showing could make us kick on. Sadly I think it'll be the former with a drubbing coming our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
