Stu Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Apart from the odd game been the same all season. Blame managers all you like but this crock are not championship standard, and the ones who are have lost the bottle. Blame monk for bringing these players in, Blame DC for letting him, but the buck stops at the players feet. Gutless!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the 2 most gutless players on show last night, we're signed up well before Monk showed up. The worst quality wise wasn't a Monk signing, although at least he tries. Despite being a bit of a nobber, Windass at least has some desire, as does Borner. Our predicament isn't down to Monks signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Recruitment has been a poor for a while, particularly in the summer and not rectified in January. We started a transition with Dele-Bashiru then stopped and started signing cast offs from the bargain bin. Added to that, it's almost impossible to motivate players who have had their contracts run down to fight for the cause, especially being in the bottom 3 all season after a points deduction. They don't care, they know they are off in a few weeks and just going through the motions. The sad thing is that we can't leave them out and focus on contraced players because there aren't enough of them to put a team out We're now 9 points from safety with an interior goal difference, likely to be 12 after the weekend games. We are gone, there's no chance we're capable of winning 4 of the last 10 games, even then Birmingham would need to lose 9 in a row. It just isn't happening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't blame the players as I believe they are trying, but most of them lack quality. The recruitment by Monk is part to blame, but the buck stops with Chansiri.

edwinowl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don’t suppose it’s over until the fat lady sings as the saying goes. But she’s been singing a while for me. After the weekend will all be over anyway. Barnsley will put us out of our misery. Barnsley ! Is DM staying ? Then what does DM do in terms of picking players ? Does he look at his squad players for next year? Does he leave those out of contract out of the line ups ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twolaptops Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 When you have players earning stupid money...win/lose or draw.....don't expect them to bust a gut.....shame on them as the majority of them don't give a sH£t about the club...........agents & players the winners..........hard working fans the losers 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheff74 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) One think I have noticed this season, is the confidence that opposition players seem to have to showboat or perform dribbling skills against our players. I haven't noticed it as much in previous seasons and I am sure it's because they realise just how crap our lot are now, how slow they are to react and shut down the man in possession, pressure any close control, and how unwilling they are to put in a tackle. It's clear to me that most of our players don't want to over exert themselves in order to avoid injury. It's an open invite to take the ******** if you are an opponent. Roll on the summer, and the long overdue mass culling. Edited March 18, 2021 by Sheff74 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seriously just aren't that good, and have no bottle for a fight. We all know off the field issues aren't their fault, but come on, some of these performances lately are disgraceful.

Monk’s recruitment & big contracts handed out t’risky signings by managers/DC prior t’him have ultimately cost us. DM now needs t’be proactive & start the scouting process for next season....need a few prem loans from his contacts in the game though from what I’m hearing the club needs a major shake-up behind the scenes.

Can't hold a lead, can't respond when the opposition score and are boring to watch. Deserve to be relegated IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recruitment by Monk is part to blame, but the buck stops with Chansiri. We needed a hard running tackling midfielder as early as the play off final. Issue never tackled. Shaw emerges and we cannot keep him for half a season because his contract expiry was exploited by his agent to get him money elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Squad is unbalanced and a mixture of lower half Championship players, players who were good 5 years ago but now slightly past their best and player basically not good enough for this level. Been a build up of bad decisions ever since we got to the Play Off Final in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be said they bear some responsibility. They are not children. They chose a profession that requires drive, passion and bravery to succeed. They have consistently fallen short in recent years and that in part is down to their own fragile mental state. The last two seasons have just accelerated our demise, but signs of the underlying issues of lack of endeavour and application have been there long before this. In truth I don't mind losing if the players have left it all on the pitch and at least tried to match the opposition. All too often we have not seen that. I know the current global situation is demoralising, but it is for all of us. These guys need to realise how privileged they are to be so well paid for kicking a bag of wind around a pitch.
