@owlstalk Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 "The lads ran their hearts out today. We are just missing that killer edge. "We dominated the game and got ourselves into positions we planned to get into but at this moment we just can’t find that killer edge." "I thought they gave everything today. They ran their socks off and kept pushing to the end. "It’s just not going for us at this moment in time." "The effort and commitment has been there, especially in today’s game. The control was exactly where it needs to be but that killer edge wasn’t and that is the most important part." "They are capable of doing it but they are probably low on confidence at this time. "When you are confident, everything you try goes in. We are in a moment where things that we are trying are not coming off." When asked why he thought he was still the right man for the job, Monk told the media, “Because I believe in the work that I do… I’ve proven that I can win games in this league. It’s a tough moment, it’s the toughest situation I’ve been in. Not just this season. “But I have belief in myself, and that I can win games at this level. I believe I can do a good job for any club that I work for, and I want to do a good job for this club. “I’m not happy with my overall record, but there are certain elements that have gone into that that are out of my control. Ultimately it’s my responsibility, and I have no problem with that.” He went on to say, “Nobody will be hurting more than me - tomorrow, until the next game, whenever that may be, than myself - the manager of this football club, the manager of these players. “I have full responsibility for it all - put it this way, I’m not going to have a great weekend.” 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat Owl Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 It’s like a slow motion car crash. Where 12 months is a ‘moment’... Simply not good enough to remain at this club as he will relegate us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 By "missing that killer edge", he means "failed to create a single clear cut chance, yet again, against the (second) worst team in the league" 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've backed Monk and thought he deserved a chance to have a fresh start this season. But there's no defending these last three games - against our likely relegation rivals, we've capitulated not once, not twice, but three times. And he sounds clueless not just about how to solve our problems, but even more worryingly, clueless about what our problems actually are. In normal circumstances, there'd be no point dragging this on any longer; given our current predicament, doing so is tantamount to accepting relegation. What we're doing isn't working. We've nothing to lose by rolling the dice and trying something different. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
