0114 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Monk on the challenge “It has been a disappointing week for us for sure and none of us are happy about that. "We get a chance to put it right and that is what we are focused on. We have to dust ourselves down and realise what we have done wrong in the last two games.“ Monk’s apology “I’m not happy with my overall record. I want it to be a lot better than what it has been. Performances were very good up to the Birmingham game. We are very unhappy with the last two performances. We apologise for what happened in the local derby. We get a chance to put it right at the weekend.” Will Monk change formation? “I always look at perspective. I don’t go with emotion. We have faced some disruption in the last three games with players going off with injuries and being sent off. We had a settled defensive line going up to Birmingham and we were producing clean sheets and getting points. Perspective from my point of view is needed. This is not Championship Manager. You don’t just change something because it is off a whim.“ Injury updated “Izzy Brown has trained all week and so has Dom Iorfa. We will have a look at him next week. We don’t know how serious Aden’s injury is. Massimo is still out.” Will he make a change in goal? “I have to make decisions and whatever I feel is right for the team.“ Monk’s message to the fans “I want to try and put in a place they can be proud of. We’ve had a bad week. I’m not overall happy with my record. It is my responsibility. No one wants to make it work more than me.“ Monk on Wycombe “We will get a chance to put it right and that’s where the focus needs to be. We know it’s going to be difficult and tough. We have made steps forward with the culture and we will continue that way. I’ve never had a record like this. I would love for it to be better. This team deserves to be judged on this season. Up until the Birmingham game, everyone was saying it was a positive start. I am encouraging these players to fight back.” Monk on turning things around “We are going to have to fight and look after each other. I’m sure everyone was proud up to the Birmingham game and people were pleased with the progress. We are trying to prepare as hard as we can for the weekend. If we get the next three games right, it’s back to a positive. We know what we are capable of. We have had a bad week and we are hugely disappointed with it. We are not looking too far ahead. Of course, we believe we can do it.” Izzy Brown “He has been back out on the grass for a good 10 days. We are judging it on where he is fitness wise. He has had no problem with it flaring back up and we are hopeful he will be in contention for the weekend.” Monk on team selection “All the way up to Birmingham, we had clean sheets and were defensively solid but we have not had that this week. The performances have been below-par. I will always try and make the right decision for the team.” Perspective “You can’t go through a whole season without having a few bad games but with our situation it is magnified a lot more. The two performances were well below what we are expected. I don’t care about the negatives. I try and learn from them but it is about moving forward and trying to put things right. I am confident in the players and I know they can do it. The belief needs to be there.” Edited October 30, 2020 by 0114 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm not interested in hearing about fight, we need to show alot more quality. No doubt he will play the same usual players that arent good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 How thefuck is he still here to give a team talk. There is no way back for him and he should have gone months ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Owly Mowly Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 Same old words that just don’t wash any more. 17 goals in 26 home games is one statistic that tells you what this guy has done for us - that is just not acceptable 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more excuses you clueless twohat. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to give Wildsmith a chance but I think he was given a chance before and has shown he is not quite there, probably both Dawson and Wildsmith are decent league one keepers... We cant keep flopping between these two keepers that are not good enough... We either need to get in a better keeper or give Westwood another go.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think most of us could have written that based on previous pressers... Nothing to inspire me but I will watch the game again and see if he turns the recent form around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTHING He’s been looking for a chance to put it right or a reaction for the best part of 12 months. He’s lost the fans, He’s lost the players. Basically Chansiri is doing to him what he is doing to Dawson. Flogging a dead horse but Monk has a chance to quit but he’s far too up his own backside to do that? This is going to get toxic and the only thing making it bearable for him is that there is no fans in the ground to tell him how sh!t a manager he is? 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Morepork Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 I like to think I’m a balanced poster, never rushing to judgment etc, etc....But right now I’d like to kick his f@cking head in, I’m sick of his repetitive BS. He has no idea, we have no hope it’s a match made in hell....... 3 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm amazed he is still here...that lies with Chancer and he is now showing he doesn't have the ability to make quick decisions, and in football you sometimes have too, tbh how many other club owners would have got rid by now? Monks record is absolutely abysmal, I try not to listen to his droning voice ( no pun intended ) because nothing will make me change my mind about both him or Chansiri. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
