I believe it's after 10 games that they are match fit. And after 12 games they are 'tired' and need a break. They play a blinder in that 11th game though. Hattrick, overhead kick, MOTM, the lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I reckon Monk had never even heard of him until he was probably offered him. Wouldn’t be blaming this one on Monk myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 He ran himself to dust last night. any player who puts in a shift like that won’t get pelters from me. we can all see the limitations he has as a player, but short of him turning down the shirt all he can do is work , run and play the best he can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) He really isn’t the type of player we need. The lad offers us next to nothing. Nice to see him run about but the type of players we need especially in that position have to offer us much more.

That's fair. He did his job positionally. His legs turn to jelly though when he gets near goal. Hes played about 7 or 8 games so far.Has he had a shot yet that anyone can remember.

Owls Loyal Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Northeastowl posted the following comment: "I reckon Monk had never even heard of him until he was probably offered him. Wouldn’t be blaming this one on Monk myself " So why did Monk say that he knew all about the player then when he did not? Are you saying that Monk is a blatent liar? I do though agree with Matt_1 when he says that the loan strategy is the way forward for SWFC. How many times have we all wished that Rhodes had been a loan and not a permanent signing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsteel89 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 we need to build a young team so in that sense yeah hes a good signing end of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yes, we need to invest in young players but not when they are way below the standard required in the Championship. As I said in an earlier post there are players far better than Da Cruz playing in the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk said that this was the type of signing we needed at SWFC. Well, I occasionaly like to watch a National League game or two and there are players in the fifth tier of English football who are far ahead of Da Cruz in terms of pace, skill and ability. It fills me with grave concern the thought that Monk might have anything at all to do with our rebuild in the summer. Hopefully Monk will be tending his roses instead by then! Didn't we have 3/4 of our fanbase saying the same about Foxx for the last year? Now he's one of our most consistent players, maybe Da Cruz needs time to settle in and to be playing in a settled team with confidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 I remember Morgan Fox's debut at Bristol City when he played pretty well. He also had some half decent games as a left sided centre back. I have a strong feeling that Da Cruz though will shortly disapperar off the radar.

poite Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Hilarious stuff as always. Rewind back about a week or two and the same player was been praised on here for being our only (or at least one of a few) shining lights. Struggled against Man city and now he's throw. I don't know Edited March 5, 2020 by poite 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be here next season. He looked like someone who’s either lost or who doesn’t want to be here when caught on camera last night. He even looked close to tears at one point. He’ll probably see the season out but I’m pretty sure he won’t stay on beyond the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I'm starting to err on the side of thinking he's just not very good but hopefully can be proved wrong. Not that the City game is a game to judge on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll probably see the season out but I’m pretty sure he won’t stay on beyond the season? I so hope you are right as imo Monk just isn't the right fit for SWFC.

Belfast Owl 2 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Still waiting for him to make an impact on a game. I see him as a sub who comes on on about 60 mins mark to cause problems. But he hasn't really done that so far but you can't fault his effort, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt monk has too much to do with signing you can tell that if you listen carefully . I somehow doubt wilder would put up with a similar system at the stain . unless theres some dramatic change in very near future regards signing process/ recruitment along with trying to get fans going back through the turnstiles then this club is going to have some very dark days,years in the future. and this aint me sticking up for monk either because I think he is at fault for a few things.
