Think is there are thousands of promising in players, very few make the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootHoot Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I wonder who the first team players are that Monk no longer wants? I'd imagine Nuhiu, Rhodes, Winnall, Hutch, Westy so far but unsure of the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Verucca Salts want something and they want it NOW. So once more we trudge our weary way through the painting-by-numbers pantomime of making almost every subject about it, even where it's a complete irrelevance. Anything that the manager can take even a single atom of credit for has to be attributed to someone else, mitigated or denied outright. If something negative has happened it is exclusively his fault even if the 'evidence' for that has to be exaggerated, shoehorned or made up altogether. To be fair, it is interesting from a psychological observer standpoint, but difficult to take seriously as it is so routine, perfunctory and predictable. And it's not just this generation, this club, or even sport in general. You see it everywhere; all the time. Just look at the diverse views on climate change, Brexit, Donald Trump, political ideology, pop music, the new Star Wars trilogy or whether there is enough green space in Sheffield city centre . If the case is that strong, why resort to fantasies, cliches, repetition and at times, hysteria? And this is not a defence of Monk in particular by the way as I'm completely ambivalent about his future. The club at most levels was in a mess even before the current upheaval. Manager is just one part of it, and not necessarily the one making the biggest impact. Whatever has been happening in recent months, I think it's pretty clear that some of it at least is beyond his control and therefore not fixed simply with swapping him for someone else.

I am surprised this is allowed to happen at the club. The manager surely should be fed all the information about each player and their circumstances. How can we expect to progress if this is how we treat players that have been at the club for as long as he has. Good luck to Jack for the remainder of his career.

Guest Mcguigan Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 3 hours ago, NeonLeon said: He’s a good poster boy for why Development Squads don’t really work, unless you’re loaning players out into the men’s league regularly. Always thought he looked like a man against boys in the Dev games, but the complete opposite when he had his cameos for the first team. It was like that last bit of development was always lacking. It’s a shame because a lad of 23 should have a lot more professional games under his belt than he has! To be honest, the games I watched him in for the u23’s, he never really dominated games. Let’s not forget most u23 squads are made up of second year scholars (18 y/o). He should have cut his ties years ago and sought first team football at National league level.
