This capitulation though is down to Monk, his team selections are poor his tactics (what are they?) are poor his man management is terrible the off field stuff isn't his doing the on field stuff is totally down to him You know when things get really bad when a section of the fan base starts having a pop at their own.

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Big problem for me is not the out of contract players, it’s who we’re left with under contract. Dawson and Pelupessy are League 2 players, Palmer and Fox are lower end Championship players.. Lees looks shot.. Bannan is off form.. Harris is a one trick pony.. Rhodes is finished. Who do we actually have left for next season we can build a challenging team around? Iorfa Borner Luongo Bannan Reach Fletcher and these have question marks against them too. We need another summer 2015 where we buy prime attacking players like FF and Hooper but we likely don’t have the money to do that. Think it looks like a long hard struggle even if we don’t go down with a points deduction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go from conceding 1 goal against Manchester City to conceding 5 goals against the mighty Brentford within a few days? The players don't give a shiit mate.

A group of players trying to get the manager sacked; the club not sacking him; so we end up with wacky formations and selections. It is an absolute farce.

Even our better footballers should be sold where possible. As you say, all our players have question marks over character and consistency, without that we go nowhere.

sMacLean Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Was hoping he'd turn it around, get a reaction and have us showing more fret. But in reality football management isn't the right career for him possibly at all but certainly at this level yet. Time for him to do a few years in L1/L2 at a normal no drama club like Wilder did then maybe try again. His ego will prevent that of course.

The players don't give a shiit mate. Because for a start he dropped a keeper who made at least half a dozen saves for one who conceded from 80% of shots on goal. Then on top of that against City the tactics were to just get everyone between the ball and goal and make it hard to score, which we did reasonably well, and City were pretty wasteful. Today I’d assume the plan was to play more freely and at least try and score.. which led to us being 3-0 down after half an hour or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ideally we need a whole new team with the exception of maybe Iorfa and Fletcher.. but how realistic is that.. some of these players will be here next year. Even in 2015 we had a good spine of Westwood, Loovens, Lees, Hutchinson and Lee already in place and we just added quality in attacking areas. The rebuild now is an even bigger one and Chansiri probably has much less money to spend. We need new ownership ideally but even that’s not realistic because he’d have to write a huge chunk of money off to cut his losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No manager would be able to do it alone. Monk accepted this working arrangement, so surely takes some of the blame, but DC is taking the absolute mick out of us. Shambles of an operation from top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hold little hope of us being able to assemble a replacement squad whatever decisions are made. Sorry state of affairs on all fronts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happens imo we will be stuck in that league for a while. It simply can’t happen. Unfortunately it’s becoming more likely with every game - feels like a probability now rather than possibility, even if no points deduction. If that was to result in new owners, then maybe some good could come from relegation, as I’ve no idea where we are headed with Chansiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklord Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) There may be stuff behind the scenes but he picks the starting line up. He is paid to have the buck stop with him. Does Chansiri make it easy for him? Maybe not, but he's paid a Kings randsom to win football matches. Once they are in that dressing room and at training that's 100% monk. And that is what should have the biggest effect on results. If it's not then the manager isn't a manager Edited March 8, 2020 by darklord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Wouldn’t be surprised if Monk walked soon. DC has shafted him and the players have given up. What’s just so utterly bizarre is how we were only a few wins off the automatic spots at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
