If Chansiri would appoint a manager who would listen to the man management, tactical, and fitness experts on Owlstalk we’d have been promoted by now.

 

Interesting that Chris Hughton is keen on the Bristol City job but twice turned down Wednesday. Any decent managers will continue to shun the Owls until the threats of points deduction and transfer embargoes are lifted. You don’t have to be a Monk supporter to realise he’s as good as we’re going to get with the threat of division 1 hanging over us.

 

Might also be running out of options not managed for a while, cannot afford to be too choosy.

We're also joint highest scorers away from home. So how do you equate the two?

 

Convert our home season tickets to away season tickets. Much more entertaining, and will work out a lot cheaper as well.

Difficult to judge?

 

3rd to 16th!

 

17 points from 63!

 

23rd in the form table over nearly half a season!

 

Lowest number of goals at home in the league.

 

2 in the first half!

 

1 win at home in 2020 - Charlton!

 

 

 

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. They may be correct, but you have been very selective in the time frames you have used.

 

Here's some more indisputable facts:

 

4 points out of 6

Unbeaten in 2

2 consecutive clean sheets

 

Like you, everything I've said is true, but lacks a wider context.

 

It's not that many of us are necessarily "supporters" of Monk. But many of us do see the bigger picture, as well as recognising that any replacement will face the same difficulties.

There are some fans who want to see Monk replaced - I can understand the reasoning behind that.

 

There are some fans like me who are happy to give him the benefit of the doubt given the context he's found himself working within.

 

Both camps want the best for Wednesday. There's nothing to be gained from this kind of divisive nonsense.

 

What context is this exactly?

Joining a club partway through a season; not being able / allowed to bring in any of his own coaching staff; coaching an imbalanced squad lacking quality and depth in several areas; twice having to coach players who haven't been paid on time; having a potential points deduction hanging over the squad's head for half eight months and counting.

He's set us up well recently, picked the best players he has available under bad circumstances and only been let down by player errors. Should probably have started with either Murphy or Windass last night instead of both but other than that since we resumed he's done his job well, needs the players to do theirs and hope our lawyers can do theirs as well

The context that he's inherited a squad that's passed it's sell by date. Whose best players are ageing, injury prone or unwilling to accept new deals. That there's no money available to recruit high calibre replacements. That he couldn't bring his own backroom staff. That we've been financially mismanaged and as a consequence are facing a points deduction.

 

I could go on, but those of us who see the bigger picture understand this.

he arrived with the supporters in turmoil due to the Bruce debacle, he inherited an ageing squad with by all accounts some noisy dissenters, who are only with us for the money, he hasn't been allowed to bring in his own backroom staff or players

 

some results have been spectacular, some have been dire, performances and tactics are all over the place

 

all in all a horrible situation, but chopping and changing again will not help, and lets face it who of enough quality to sort it out would come here

 

stop the divisive talk, get behind him and do what we can do support him and the club
