Garry Monk “All the players are on the brink"

[N0rtherner]

All players more or less crocked after such a long break, not a single one deserves a contract renewal if their contract is up now.

 

Monk and Bullen included, fed up with the apologetic comments and still putting Oduvajo on when it is clear as day anyone else could have done better. At least when you sub Murphy you stick on Reach as a minimum, not Calamity Jane in defense.

We knew the challenge in terms of fitness and squad depth coming back like this. We needed all hands on deck even if just until the end of the season. Unfortunately that ship had already sailed due to Monk publicly “finishing” players in December. I fully agree with most if not all leaving once this years done but look at what’s missing from the immediate battle we’re now in:

 

Hutchinson - Would fight, scrap and keep this side going until the end of the season. Has never given short of 100% in blue and white

 

Fessi - Shambolic management by fitness team and manager to allow him to come back in such an alleged state. Poor all season but can change a game and gives the opposition something to think about 

 

Fletcher - Unfortunate with Injury

 

Winnall - Played a bit part role for Derby when on loan, never worked here but again surely offers from the bench if players are on the redline 

 

Fox - We should have got the extra money we needed to secure him long term. Would have punted for him over Pelupessy if budgets are that tight

 

Westwood - Can’t fault Wildsmith but still crazy how his career at Wednesday has fallen to pieces. Would have resale value if played and not left to rot

 

4 additional outfield bodies just there, all with experience in the league and all with something to offer.

 

I’m really not a fan of monks management style and the way he speaks openly in the press. Regardless of his thoughts on players we could have quietly cleared the lot this summer professionally whilst getting some use now when we need bodies and options.

good post

The players have had 3 months rest, and they are knackered after 5 games back  ? 

 

Give it a rest Monk. Pathetic. 

Yet when a player hasn't had much of a preseason you can see they are not match fit.  They had less than three weeks as a group to prepare. I'm not surprised we are seeing injuries.

Elite athletes shouldn't be knackered after  five games after sitting on their arses for three months. 

 

It's like saying they are knackered five games into a new season at the end of August. 

Hilarious. Read back what you wrote. Then gave a good old laugh at yourself.

Could Haslam do a job? Or maybe even try and get llera as a temp? 

Llera is at Walsall, he'd want more than a temporary position.
