Listen we’ve got off to a good start, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. We have a long way to go and I think Monk is the man to take us there but people are just typically getting carried away after one result. Let me take you back to the ‘monk out’ poll before the end of last season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Some of us have been behind Monk from the start We can see what he's been up against Two games in, two wins, two clean sheets A team performance today where everyone put a shift in The players are buying into the Monk way I think we've got one of the brightest young managers around We just need the Monk haters to get on board, then we can achieve anything I feel we have a few disappointed supporters today Even when we win, some have to search for the negatives Cheer up people, we won 7 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Elderly Owl Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 12 hours ago, cookeh said: Still very very far from convinced. At least I could see a gameplan today. And it worked out, tho it does feel like we caught Cardiff cold a bit. They were pretty poor, rather than us being amazing, i think. The warning bell that's ringing is.. we couldn't keep the ball at all. Yes, we were playing super direct pretty much all of the time, but at 2-0 we surely should be looking to control the game, rather than just carry on hoofing it long. That we couldn't make that tactical change leaves me a little concerned that maybe we're not able to. And how we played today won't work in every match, so.. we need more strings to the bow. Job done today. But by no means is it a signal that we can deal with future challenges. You can only play as well as the opposition lets you play. Wednesday did well today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain bucky o'hare Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 10 hours ago, slow83 said: Talk about getting carried away, great to get 3 points but he’ll have to do ALOT more than win a league game and a cup tie against a poor lower league team to convince that his previous 44 games in charge were some sort of blip! Maybe consider the context of last season and the circumstances he was operating under. It’s not really fair to assess Monk last season when he didn’t have a coaching team, no opportunity to change personnel and a group of disgruntled players reaching the end of their contracts. Post COVID the squad was even more diminished. The indecision over the points deduction was just the icing on the cake really. He’s a manager at the end of the day and can’t multiply himself to become a whole coaching team and a motivated squad of players... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 If and it's a big IF Monk keeps us up then I'll give him credit of course. I remember when we won 3-0 at QPR post-lockdown with what was undoubtedly one of the best performances of last season yet we then went on to pick up just 1 point from the last 9 available and ship in 7 goals in the process. So as they say one swallow doesn't make a summer. It was a solid performance and of course a good win and a most welcome 3 points but scoring goals and picking up points on the road wasn't a massive problem last season as the Monk gameplan is arguably suited to playing away? He'll be rightly judged on whether or not he can make us more effective at home where we have to play differently to how we do away to be successful. I mean 15 goals scored in 20 games at S6 under Monk last season that tells you where the real problem lies, does it not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to give him time, a summer, but the constant collapses and hammerings, lack of goals at home in particular (blackburn have still scored the same as us at Hillsborough this year) made that really difficult and at the end of the season I had enough and wanted him gone. But he's not gone and will give him and his new coaching staff time. Yesterday was one game though. Just one game and whilst I celebrated it like any other win, I'm not getting carried away because we have had good wins last season too, Bristol City and QPR but we then reverted back to the awful performances we are used to this year. I have seen someone say if we lost yesterday then the one game excuse wouldn't apply but that's because losing is not a rare occurrence like winning is. However If we lose to Watford I won't be on his back straight away. I will give him time. I believe he did good jobs at Leeds and Birmingham and seems to have a good record at finding good players. I think part of the reason Leeds are where they are is because of the players Monk brought in. But he needs a good start overall in 10 games. Relegation form and still a long way from safety I will get restless. Owlstalk is quiet at the moment though. Have a feeling that a lot of people are keeping quiet at the moment and will jump on him if we lose next week 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford were an established Premier League team until this season and will be favourites to win. If we go down fighting, it won't be the end of the world. Hopefully we smash them, though! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
