I’m just asking a poster if they were as supportive of Jos as he obviously is of Monk? When you bear in mind their records on and off the field here are like a mirror image, it’s a more than fair question. I wanted Jos Out as a lot did and I’ve been consistent in wanting Monk Out. Apart from the points deduction which granted isn’t Monk’s fault what is the infinite difference between Monk and Lukuhay and why does Monk deserve the backing he’s getting which Lukuhay obviously didn’t get?

I see what you're saying mate but Jos and Monk's situations were vastly vastly different 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 3 minutes ago, Willow Owl said: That’s not answering the question Jim. JL was a disaster here and Monk Is nothing like him. Monk has dealt with massive issues under his tenure here and If you cannot see the improvement and what he is trying to do then that’s fine. I suppose you will now trot out the standard responses of how we did since the new year how we cannot score at home and how you will reserve judgement until Christmas then change it to the end of the season. Move on like majority of fans have done, we cannot change the past only the future. Haters will always hate no matter what happens and no matter how much they try and convince themselves otherwise. Go Monk and the Monkettes I’ll never be a Monk fan. Most on here know that. That won’t stop me from praising him if I think he’s doing a good job. He keeps us up this season then he’s done the job that needs to be done first and foremost. We’ve had a solid start but there is a long long way to go. If come the end of November we’re in a better position than we are now, I’ll praise him. I’m not disputing that JL was a disastrous appointment but you can’t say at this juncture that there is a massive difference between the job JL did and the job GM is currently doing. Their championship records apart from a +6 in GS and GA in JL’s record are exactly the same. They both have frozen out Westwood and Hutchinson and blooded young players though I would say Monk’s approach with the kids has been more measured and as a result will arguably prove to be more fruitful for us?

There's zero point discussing Garry Monk with you mate You've stated that you will NEVER appreciate/want him That therefore makes any debate with you on the subject pointless so I'm out Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I think Monk is fairly hard work to be honest. A bit dull (not in JLs class though) and we were so dull as a team to watch last season. If we're winning 1-0 though I can put up with that this season, good luck to him and hope we do that well that he gets everyone onside (including me) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
