No doubt they’ll claim that we would have beaten WBA more convincingly had Monk not been in charge ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighworthOwl Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Fair play to him! Nice to see a positive story for a change. This we won "hes great" we lost "monk out" swing has to change. We are a very average team in a very average league. Nothing more nothing less. Next season once he has had a summer to refresh the squad then we can begin to judge him but even then its probably too early. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Garry Monk The Geoff Horsfield foundation provide quality, safe accommodation for vulnerable adults & helping other people in the community where they can Follow them here - https://twitter.com/Geoff_Hors_Foun Not socially distancing in that photo #COVIDIOT he has certainly been charitable this season by giving so many other teams 3 points. i wish we were homeless then we wouldn’t lose as many games there. etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set it on fire. ANYTHING." couldn’t agree more. Even if you had a downer on Monk.....after hours working with young, homeless adults is a difficult one - Monk needs to be praised for whatever he does. Others leading names in sport, politics, whatever who can influence/support should also take this up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggowl Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) 'Monk Haters' v 'Monk Lovers' you are both in a minority. Most Wednesday fans have a confidence in Monk that fluctuate between probably 30-70%. After 3 wins in 16, we're nearer the 30%, questioning if he's got the ability to do this while balancing into the equation that the club is on a downward slope caused by thinks well out of Monk's control and any manager is going to need some time! So after a positive re-start my confidence has risen, probably to 40-50%. I'm desperate for him to do well. Why in some peoples eyes is this a bad thing?

This story shows he's a decent person with a social conscience and it's great to see him getting involved in a very worthwhile charity, but that doesn't make him a top young manager.

( Not to mention his right hand man). Like I said though, I appreciate what you're getting at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ANYONE could have sorted this squad out in the space of 9 months having had no preseason, none of his own staff, very little money, a points deduction hanging over your head and poison in the dressing room, he would have been a miracle worker never mind a top young manager. Faults he may have but he's been dealt a C**p hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. My percentage 'appreciation' dipped hugely after he tinkered with the defence with disastrous results but then recovered dramatically with his formation & selection recently. I keep an open mind which most managers would be more than happy with. Opinions don't have to be either totally black or totally white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine reading a post about our manager doing work for vulnerable people then the very next post saying 'I hope our fans start to realise what a top young manager we have' then someone pointing out the 2 things aren't connected by using the word 'BUT' and someone picking a fight over it with a smarmy, sarcy comment.
