S25OWL Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Maybe Monk was playing a blinder on chansiri to make him realise that he needed his own backroom staff and changes to player recruitment - I hope it works and he proves everyone wrong ... after all I just want success for my club ... unlike many I read on here - I wonder at times if they actually support Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 19 games are not erased by a single league win. No one who doubts Monk's ability bsed on the evidence of last seaon is looking at all silly.

What you're doing there is basically just cherry picking 19 games out of Monk's career here at SWFC That's just ridiculous 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new season lets judge him on this season alone. So far we have had a good start and arguably even made progress. Looking forward to Saturday as we will be up against a good team on paper, and they should be a good marker for how we are progressing. If we win the confidence will rocket.

Mr Farrell Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I judge him over his entire tenure not 3 games. Overall he's been poor to average, and therefore has some way to go to convince me he can take us where we need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmfournil Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I think it is fair to say that last season he was hampered in many ways. What with none of his preferred backroom staff, the EFL charge hanging over us, obvious personnel problems he inherited on the playing side and a pandemic to boot. He now has a semblance of a recruitment strategy albeit constrained by finances. I feel the recruitment has been excellent given the circumstances and although it is early days the signs are undoubtedly positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will see that as a positive from you, that's quite low down on the old Mr Farrell Rant Scale. He will be raising a glass to you tonight.

SallyCinnamon Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Being able to bring in his own backroom staff makes a huge difference. He was working with his hands tied behind his back last season. Overall I think the club is taking the right approach and is learning from the mistakes we made which led us to -12. A much more considered and thoughtful approach from the chairman and the club which deserves credit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I’m viewing this like he got the job in the summer. Brought his own team and new players in, got rid of those he felt he didn’t want around and is building something new with the -12 challenge. Makes life much more simple and positive. So far, so good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outside looking in, it appears DC is giving more control to Monk and the recruitment team and so far it looks like the correct move. DC deserves huge credit for that, he’s learning and still supporting his manager with backroom staff and new signings. Very impressed with how we’re looking on and off the field this summer.

It's a good start and I'm sure we all want him and the team succeed. But let's not get too carried away just yet. In fairness the anti-Monk brigade got a bit carried away last season. I said all along last season, let’s fairly judge him when he’s had a chance to bring in his own back room team, had a pre season and is allowed to shape the squad by releasing and signing the players he wants. So far he’s had his own back room team, a little pre season of sorts and next to no money in the transfer window and he’s doing well. Not getting carried away but it shows the negative Monk comments of last season were very knee-jerk Edited September 16, 2020 by DirtyLeedsOwl 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
