Every week scratching our heads at team selections, tactics That’s why he lost his job, and in reality, shouldn’t have been offered the job in the first place. Ditto Pulis. We are a laughing stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not see the improvements that weren’t there before? Do you expect us to immediately start thrashing teams? What over the last 12 months gave you any hope that Monk was turning it around? It couldn’t have got any worse I’m literally at a loss at some people’s opinions, but hey ho Its akin to the Covidiots in the dressing room He has done all of those things. The worry of course is what is his plan to get us scoring more goals. Without more goals we won't win enough games to stay up. It seems that people are relying on us getting to January and then bringing in better strikers. But do we have the money to do this? Even if we do are we an attractive prospect? After all we couldn't attract decent strikers over the summer. Even if we bring new strikers in we still won't create any chances for them.

There is 7 games before the transfer window. We could be dead and buried by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Sewell Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 B+. Don't think we could have done much better. The red cards early in both games took away the chance to win either, also resulting in the loss of Windass, and Pulis was already without Harris from a previous red. Where are the goals coming from ? We got one from open play last night, could have had a second, then had to shut up shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 1 minute ago, Kenners3896 said: There is already mumours of dissatisfaction in the fan base. Pressure is mounting. He and the team need to do better. 5 games without a win is horrendous form and would put any manager under pressure. We need to win 1 in 3 of every game to stay up realistically. We are already 4 points adrift and are no better off points wise. Draws will not keep us in the league. Someone let TP know. We had 1 shot on goal. And that was the goal. Reading were all over us before and after that chance. Joao missed a sitter before we scored. Great defensive performance yesterday but attacking was dire, the goal aside. Of course there are murmurs of dissatisfaction! They were there long before Monk was sacked. And many were strongly opposed (myself included) to Pulis' appointment. So when he comes in and we're already in the relegation spots and takes only 3 points from his first 4 games, why would there be anything other murmurs of dissatisfaction still if they were there to begin with. How could any of our fans possibly be ‘satisfied’ that we're in the relegation places?!? But he's only had 4 games. I don't know what else to say because pointing out he's only had 4 games really ought to be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those games we'd probably expect to lose on league placings and Monk would have lost all 4. Now he needs to build on that and start winning. This is the bit that worries me with Pulis. I'd expect him to organise us and stop us losing many, but can he get us scoring and winning? There's a lot of assuming in the above. When you say stopped the slide, Monk won against Bournemouth and drew with Millwall, that's 4 points from 6. Do you mean Pulis has stopped the 'slide' up the table? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
