It's the first 90 minutes for all those players," "We knew we were going to play against a team that was a little further ahead than us in terms of minutes. "We knew they were going to physically compete but I think, overall, we controlled the game. "Defensively the structure was good and we didn't really suffer on our goal, which was pleasing, and offensively we got in some good situations. "We didn't finish off the chances we created in the second half but I think in terms of getting 90 minutes in their legs and getting that match sharpness will do them a world of good. "A win's a win and we are into the next round. I knew we were going to have to match them physically. "I thought we controlled the game as a whole but we just didn't finish off in the good positions that we got in. "Playing 90 minutes will have done those players in terms of getting that match sharpness a world of good. "The attitude was great and the focus was there and we got the win." 7 9 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 If controlling the game involves passing it across the back 3 for several minutes at a time then yes well played monk, executed to perfection. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emilianenko Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It was refreshing watching a Monk interview without excuses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr. benway Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Only concern for me is that some parts of that could have been copied and pasted from last season, but it’s early days yet and I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen a few more games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owly Mowly Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Did he say why he chose to play one of the best creative attacking midfield players in the division with his back to goal as a target man? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Why does he have to repeat the same things over and over in his interviews? It's as if before the interview he picks out one of his cliche manager responses from his training manual and he just repeats it over and over. Bit weird. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make notice of the yet. But for now, let's see this new squad properly in action once they settle in and face the real competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Taken as take it or leave it friendly game it was a good competetive run out for the boys. Taken as a cup game, a win's a win. We move on to more serious stuff next week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
