Inspector Lestrade Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 2 minutes ago, parajack said: I couldn't myself see the need for him,at the time TBH..We had an abundance of striker choices,(JR wasnt in the first team,at the team,& hadnt done much allegedly for a while...nor was he a 'bargain'.) Seemed an obvious greater need to strengthen other positions after our Play Off final loss.History now though...hope Monk can get something out of him. If it was me,i would work on his Psychology,tell him i was going to build a team around him,he was going to be my first choice striker,& that i wanted him to get into goal scoring positions,& go for goal,at every opportunity.I would be working also on improving dead ball situations,free kicks,corners,long throws...Anything to get the ball into the box...and/or score goals. With momentum,comes confidence,and with confidence will come goals... any shot on target,forces a save from the keeper.Basic i know,but its surprising what sometimes catches the keeper out,or leads to a sloppy save,and a goal from the aftermath.(dont we know it!!)..Must work on at least 'hitting the target' more... How many times have we seen a ball passed,rather than an attempt at goal? needs to change.. I thought last season the ball was in the area all the time but apart from Fletcher no forwards was capable of taking advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emilianenko Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Is this what is stopping us getting players in. With no success whatsoever and a reputation for falling out with players is this holding us back? It seems like one way traffic at the moment with loads leaving and not many coming in. Also players opting for the likes of Birmingham instead of us. The season is fast approaching and we need to add quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends, if you look at the Blades(Yahhh,Boooooo..%&***££!!) got that out of the way, by throwing bodies forward & creating spaces,at times outnumbering defenders,goals were coming from all over..https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/163/Show/England-Sheffield-United Maybe circumstances will make Monk adopt a similar style of play...

Your optimism is admirable, same sort of spirit we had at the charge of the Light Brigade, and equally misplaced. But time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why I've got nappy rash. We can't afford a "yet", because we start the campaign twelve points behind everyone else. We don't have the luxury of waiting 10-15 games just to convince ourselves of Monk's unsuitability. Snooze and you lose, or something like that.

And especially not if your wife's looking. That's the stuff of pavement cafes abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scram Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Dele-Bashiru's older brother is at Watford and cannot get a look in - even when they were allowed 10 subs he wasn't in the reckoning I know somebody that works in football who is well aware of both the brothers and i remarked to him that i hope our version is better than Watford's - his reply is that ours is better - by a distance 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passenger in both games I"ve seen him play. There were many better midfielders to pick out there. Bur than again we resigned Polupessey, so nothing makes much sense for me...

Reading it back, your initial post made perfect sense. Must be something in 8 peroni that impairs my comprehension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
