Understanding how to play most effectively within the limitations of the squad you’re working with 

 

Did I miss the Monk tactical master classes or something? 
 

he couldn’t organise a ******** up. 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

There’s no hope for some people in this thread who just don’t understand football, and can’t see that Pulis has us more solid and organised, has players like Reach, Patterson and Harris playing better than they ever did under Monk.

 

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.

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.

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.

Got us organised and stopped the slide.

 

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?

Exactly. It’s ironic how some were happy to give Monk time, but not Pulis.

 

‘Let’s see after 10 games’ etc etc

And even more ironic that people were saying Monk had to be able to manage the players at his disposal but are now saying it's ok for Pulis not to as we can buy a striker in January

Is Pulis not managing the players by bringing out the best in Reach & Patterson, and having us more solid and organised?

We've not won a game

We're not getting shots on target

We're in relegation form
We didnt' even get the new manager bounce every other manager gets at every other club

New manager bounce is a myth.
