Thought 3 was the minimum, was wondering what the maximum could have been. Do we an attacking coach yet? Dont believe we do. Do we have a decent squad to rotate? Dont believe so.

But I’m allowed to be critical when it’s due too. There have been too few performances like qpr ( forest and boro?) and too many like yesterday and worse. It doesn’t have to be you are for or against monk with no room to change your mind. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to all those clubs who rock up at Hillsborough with the plan of being pourous and shipping goals easily. "We tried 2nd half." Umm.. great. Good to know that we didn't not try 2nd half, i guess. "if you can't win the game, you make sure you don't lose it and you take that point. So i think we did it." We did.. well done for thinking you know what the final score was. "we don't have the luxury of making lots of changes and still maintaining quality" That's going to breathe confidence into the lads who didn't start. "we needed of of those chances to go in.. .. then maybe it would have become a bit easier for us." So wait.. you reckon that if we score it's easier for us to win? Those coaching qualifications must be tough! "Very pleased that we concentrated today" Another glowing endorsement of the players to build their confidence. All in all a very successful interview where he said useful and intelligent things. Football manager post match cliché shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No what I mean is that people watch/listen to managers speak then immediately post 'the usual nonsense from Monk' or 'that's told us nothing as usual' or 'why do we have these when all he's going to do is talk rubbish' etc etc Some people just don't understand what these press conferences are, what they're for, what managers will/won't be saying in them But they always like to get all angrymad in the threads about them 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 We know what he’s going to say before he says it. More fool anyone for listening to it and getting wound up by it. I suggest listening to his post match comments ahead of the next match, that gives everyone 90 minutes to accept them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, the people who do these interviews can also be sacked. At least get someone to ask more direct questions (as they do on sky sports), not necessarily to get under the skin of the manager, just to shed further light on aspects the fans might not be aware of. I assume it’s the people who do the Thursday press conferences, boring and repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our home form under Monk is horrendous. He doesn’t have the nous or in all fairness the players at the moment to open teams up from the start of games certainly when the opposition teams sit in. That said a good manager would work out a way to get the best out of what he’s got. Monk is not a good manager.
