Popular Post Bigger Guns Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 In fairness he probably still doesn’t have the team he wants. We have been hamstrung by this deduction and I’m sure there are targets that chose not to come because of it. Of course there is the deduction itself, which is not of Monk’s doing 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said this before, we can't afford to go on long bad runs now and the margin for error with Monk staying in the hot seat will be less than with other recent managers....and I'm ok with that 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul.. Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 We're still 3-4 signings from where we needed to be IMO, but hopefully we have enough to get through to the next window and to get enough points to avoid relegation. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodwickOwl Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I honestly think this side now looks capable of a mid table finish. If we didn’t have the deduction, then there would be a different mentality and I imagine we could’ve kicked on better than that The team, now starting from the back looks absolutely solid: Dawson Iorfa Dunkley Flint Harris Bannan Luongo Reach Brown Patterson Windass/Marriott Were going to setup to not concede and nick 1-0’s - itll never be a side that scores 3/4 a game unfortunately. That’ll take time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Team still isn’t good enough . Still has zero creativity and no goals . Hopefully it will over perform 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted October 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2020 'Well backed by Chansiri' is a matter of interpretation. Yes, given the circumstances we're in, Chansiri has probably backed Monk as much as he possibly could, but in the grand scheme of things, adding three free transfers, three loans and a couple of £500k forwards is hardly going to catapult us into the upper echelons of the Championship given the calibre of player we've lost in recent seasons. I'm pleased with the recruitment we've done given the predicament in which we've put ourselves, but I still think our squad looks short of quality in several key areas. Ultimately, we look like a mid-table squad to me. Whether or not that's enough to overcome our points deduction remains to be seen, but I won't be surprised to see it go down to the wire. I suppose we've just got to hope that Monk and his team can create a team that's greater than the sum of its parts. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Love it. OP no more excuses. Following posts excuses excuses excuses. im sticking by my word and see how it’s going after Ten games. Hopefully by then we will seeing some progress and be off the bottom. Or even mid table if the EFL get their fingers out and we win the appeal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If he had previous years signings then no way would any of the players he has signed apart from maybe Brown would be here. His hand has been forced and would it be unfair to call this Monks chosen team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is the deduction itself, which is not of Monk’s doing I agree about the deduction but don’t forget, most teams in the championship will never have their ‘ideal teams’ because not everyone has money to burn, especially this season with everything that’s happened and chairmen will be less inclined to put their hands in their pockets. I think most would agree that we’ve had a better transfer window than what was expected, especially given where we were a few weeks ago. There are no more excuses from here on in. Any less than 12 points by the end of the month and I think he’s a dead man walking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has no more excuses. Yes, agree with this and I think we’ve done reasonably well in the transfer and loan market. On paper at least, we’ve a much stronger squad now, despite current injuries. However, it’s going to take a while for the new players to gel together as a team - some of them have only been at the club a few days remember - so I do hope that the “Monk Out “ brigade don’t go into meltdown if we don’t get a result at Brum this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked a player in the Murphy mould to have been signed, that is a glaring omission for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Managed correctly this side can finish mid table. Plenty of experience, pace and options to switch formation. All the ‘bad eggs’ are gone and he’s been able to bring in his own backroom staff Sure it would have been nice to buy a bit more quality but I think we’ve signed well and now have a much more balanced squad. I don’t want to see anymore excuses now. No rubbish like they need to gel or we need to give him time. Monk has been afforded more time than any other manager I can remember when you take into consideration our horrific hole run, terrible points return since Christmas and our unprecedented amount of late goals and points thrown away in the last 5 minutes of games. Have to deliver now. Little room for patience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnssweetshop Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Ten league games. See how they all do. If there is a sign of improvement, then so be it. If its the same turgid football being produced, then people will have the right to question. However, right now, we are 6 points closer than we were at the start of the season to overhauling our relegation rivals. That's the only thing we should focus on. The clawback factor, the rest is immaterial to our survival. There's a bigger picture this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
