Chance for a nice new start missed. Hope Monk proves me wrong but don't see it myself. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 This is a positive move, even though I thought Monk should have lost his job. He now has a decent coaching staff around him who he can trust and despite our points deduction, this should make a huge difference to the calibre of players we attract. Beattie might even get Rhodes back on track! We should all get behind them now and let’s see how Monk performs with a proper coaching structure below him. I’m sure he’s feeling happy tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beattie not so much, he doesn't have a track record of any great success and wasn't exactly sought after otherwise another club would have looked to pay off his gardening leave. He does at least bring some attacking nous to the coaching team which has been lacking though. Flahavan, don't know much about him but I think the performance of all of our goalkeepers has dropped or certainly not improved since Rhodes left so it makes sense to freshen it up. Be interesting to see what has happened to Bullen and Weaver but as Monk is staying this has to be seen as a positive step to help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong here but wasn't Beattie on gardening leave before Monk came to us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their goalkeeping coach hasn't changed and coincided with a drop in form of their keepers? Of course the players are also responsible but its almost as if you are saying it doesn't matter who the coach is. Our coach has changed and all 3 goalkeepers haven't improved and if anything have got worse since, coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Wonder why we didn’t take Rush as well. Perhaps not a position we need filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our coach has changed and all 3 goalkeepers haven't improved and if anything have got worse since, coincidence? I wouldn't say they're any worse for Rhodes leaving. Wildsmith & Dawson are where they are in terms of their development. Neither are the finished article, we know that. Westwood's case is mysterious, but he does pick up niggles and his form was dodgy before being dropped. Realistic to say, pushing 36 he's probably past his best anyway; hence his decline.
