Monk is very very very lucky these circumstances exist but it isn't going to save him forever. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They love an excuse. I don't find that interesting, but it's very revealing that they put their support for a manager ahead of what's best for the club. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a complete sucker punch and it’s happening time and time again. I said in pre-season, Monk has lost too many games to turn it around here. I’d love to back the bloke but the football is negative and I don’t agree with his tactics and I don’t get his decisions. He has his own men in now. He’s signed his own players. There’s no more excuses. But today was scarily familiar to last season. Agree with this, I’m not a Monk out supporter but it’s starting to worry me how similar to last season the performances have been. In the second halves against Watford and Bristol city and most of today’s game we don’t seem to have improved very much. Hopefully during the next 2 weeks we will see more arrivals and improvements from training 1 Link to post Share on other sites

@owlstalk 51,141 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think we've reached a point now where those who don't want Monk are just repetitively posting the same angry nonsense over and over again We hear you You don't want Monk It would be refreshing if you could engage in a more intelligent mature manner and discuss things constructively, maturely, and sensibly instead of just firing the same nonsense over and over and over and over again.

Other managers have coped. He has a worse record than Jos did for us. Paul Cooke came back after lock down to find his poor Wigan squad had been deducted 12 points and were going into administration. Did he use it as an excuse? No he rolled his sleeves up and they won more points on the pitch than we did. Poorer squad, points deduction applied and club put into admin from underneath them. Still got results and played decent football. The bright new dawn under Monk is not going to come. You are right though, I need a break from it, I'll leave you to it for tonight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible luck has done for us today. They missed a big chance before we scored too , so we got lucky there . Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn't work like that The last season was freakishly extended, prior to lockdown the fans had turned against Monk, had the season continued Monk would have gone due to the lower numbers of fans attending/leaving early in a poisonous atmosphere thus resulting in lower season ticket sales. Even though DC claims our ticket sales don't matter let's see how that works out. Add that to the unprecedented position of us starting a season on -12 points the start of this season was always going to be perilous. DC won't be the fall guy, Monk wiĺl. Regardless of how DC works, the combination of Monk's abject results, the current financial/support/merchandise loss added to the increasing pressure from the EFL to keep our house in order (i believe we are late with the next set of accounts) All adds up to DC not working as he normally does.
