Worksop Wednesday Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 this culture thing tho, whilst not doubting there is something that needs addressing but was it also evident during first 23 games this season and got us to 3rd place? Monk's citing deep seated problems but he has to say something, rightly or wrongly, for me its simply a complete breakdown in relationship between manager and a significant number of players Its his doing, should have kept a lid on it till end of season, very naive of him, poor management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 If I was Monk I would play a couple of youngsters in the team, people like Hunt and possibly Preston. Couple of the loan players and people he knows he wants next season. Just no point playing anyone he doesn’t want or players that have been told they are leaving. Also I wish Luongo and Reach would hurry up and get back fit and have that waste of space Pessy nowhere near the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When results are as they are currently one thing you can guarantee is that players don't get fit or come back from injuries quickly Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That culture remains, however how has Monk managed or mismanaged 'that culture' I really wanted it to work for him, backed him when others said his record was poor, but cant support him now, showing himself to have been naive Without even a No.2 / right hand man of his choice to back him up he is exposed even more Showing himself to be inflexible (except for team selections where he seems to be pulling names out of a hat) and smacking of desperation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer the arbitration remains unresolved, the chances of a points deduction at the start of next season becomes a possibility. I’d rather take the medicine now and start afresh next season. Not disagreeing that he seems to have lost the dressing room, but why did they put a shift in on Wednesday night. Doesn’t add up. The brutal truth is that Chansiri owns this club and can do what he likes with it. We can't force him out, and the only way he'll move on is if someone agrees to buy the club off him. We're an unattractive proposition as it is, but we'd look a darn sight less attractive in the Third. And once you go down, you never know when you're coming back. Like you, I'll take the medicine now too, but with someone who can keep us up. Results like yesterday's are when a team's given up on a manager, and once that happens you might as well bail. Otherwise you're simply staving off the inevitable, and with each passing week the situation gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 luckily for dc, most of the fans seem to take the bait and blame the managers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmason69 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 On the one hand he says the players aren't trying. He knows who they are. In the other hand, he still keeps picking them. Why is he still picking players whom he has admitted aren't trying. This is the culture at the the club. Monk knows it and yet he does nothing about it. Of course that pre-supposes he's allowed to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players are all financially secure so many don't have that edge to prove themselves anymore. Hopefully bring in some younger hungry players close season from the lower leagues. This will be very difficult as anyone decent will have other clubs after them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine players approaching Monk about a new contract and him saying the chairman deals with such things. If DC or his henchman whoever that may be told the players they weren't getting renewed that would absolve Monk. Similarly if Monk was told to notify the players by DC or someone else themn Monk is just doing his job. I've no idea if either scenarion is true but everyone is blaming Monk and it might not be his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we know about relegation, I’m not convinced DC knows how bad it’s going to get and he could leave us well and truly up the creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture_squadron Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Fact is, when Bruce had us chugging along last season no one was talking about Doyen or any of that. Things seemed to be ok. Bruce brought some backroom staff in and everyone presumed Doyen's influence had waned. Obviously, we had the embargo and Bruce scarpered but there was no Doyen chat when we were 3rd either. When things are going badly, blame gets handed out everywhere. The conspiracy theories come out but we don't know. Hate to say it, though, but much as I quite like his intensity, Monk laying into the players in public and players being excluded doesn't strike me as a way to motivate a squad.

People always over-analyse when things go wrong. The situation's gone very sour, but it probably isn't anything to do with Chansiri or Doyen specifically. Their malign influence is more chronic, rather than accounting for the acute collapse in form of recent times. Something's gone awry with the relationship between players and manager IMO. Whether there have been unguarded comments and/or they've lost faith in him is anyone's guess. But it's evident on the pitch for all to see. As evident as it was even in the friendly between Gers and Wednesday when Carlos' number was up. Once a manager crosses that particular bridge he can't retrace his steps, sadly.
