Popular Post Manwë Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 No. We'd be slightly better off in my opinion. Not much, but a little and that's all we need. I think we can now fully understand a lot more about Monk's time here, recruitment and who we let go, and why. Monk did well with what he was given. It was criminal that he finally got his coaching staff at Wednesday one year too late, and then they were promptly sacked because there wasn't immediate success. It's like we enjoy throwing money away. 9 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlett Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Where would we be if we'd stuck with Stuart Gray. Maybe the same number of goals scored but less conceded. Who knows ? Everybody especially owners and Chairmen expect immediate success these days it seems. DC secrect formula.........one step forward and three backwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 We are in a right mess anyway. There are loads of things you can point to that have affected the situation we are in. They all are probably contributing factors. There's one over arching problem that created or influenced all the others. DC. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alanharper Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 Yes, I'm sure that a manager who won 2 home games in a year, failed to manage a single point or goal from successive games against Luton, Rotherham and Wycombe, and persisted in playing Dawson whilst ignoring Westwood would have had us flying by now. 21 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Think we would have a slightly better chance at the moment if we had stuck by Monk. We might have been able to bring a loan player or two in the January transfer window with the money it cost to pay Monk off and all his backroom staff plus Pulis and all his backroom staff. If we didn't get rid of Monk end of last season we should have given him all this season if we allowed him to sign up the backroom staff he wanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were already on the downward spiral and he wasnt a good enough manager to get us off it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need Monk back, we need a manager who knows what he is doing and will try to win some games with round pegs in round holes rather than constantly playing not to lose.

Just because Pulis turned out to be a shocker doesn't mean it would have been right to stick with Monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasthagotanycheese Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 One of the many reasons that we are in the position we are in is that DC didnt bin off Monk at the end of last season. Instead he backed him and spent precious time and resource installing his team of staff. Another wrong call from our esteemed owner. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have gone after the Brentford debacle, which was when the travelling fans really turned on him, we could have had a fresh face for the restarted season, maybe even accrued enough points to have had the points deduction harmlessly applied last season (as long as it wasn't Pulis we got back then!). Covid kept him in the job for an extra costly 8 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewings Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I'd argue that we would be in a better position if we wouldn't have appointed him in the first place tbh. Replaced players with inferior players our squad is far worse than it was....ended up with a 31% win ratio... meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I did wonder to myself the other day what would have happened if Monk had stayed. Probably nothing great because at the end of the day the players aren’t good enough to see things go much better. We would have probably got more points than under Pulis and less than under Thompson’s initial ‘bounce’ leaving us where we are now. He certainly wouldn’t have brought Westwood back or re signed Hutchinson that’s for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
