CircleSeven Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 God knows. I’ve seen ‘we’d be safe in Monk had stayed’ threads as well. No doubt the Pulis time was a disaster but maybe if he had stayed we also be safe (assuming he’d twisted DC’s arm for a striker). All in all I think the killer has been the multiple changes as much as anything. That and the lack of striker coming in which I think has a lot to do with having no manager in place during the window. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results have been garbage right through the season but for what it’s worth the recent games have been a type of football that I don’t mind watching. We’ve missed loads of chances but at least we’ve made some! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you pin it and say Pulis has cost us it in the end? Under Moore we should've got points from Rotherham, 3 points vs Bristol City, Huddersfield were poor and there for the taking. You can't pin it on 1 man when we've had Monk Pulis Thompson and Moore who've all made errors as well. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernOwl Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 At least we now have a proper manager. Let's hope Chansiri gives him the freedom he needs to succeed. Hopefully this also puts to bed the idea that the only way to win games with a poor/ average squad is by playing dreadful football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trev Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Not sure. Don't get me wrong I like the more attacking footy but we still have the same weak players. Hopefully when he gets his own players in we will see it come to fruition. Providing he doesn't get sacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Basement Jack Posted April 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2021 Moore has had by far the greatest impact of the managers associated with us this season and what’s more he has been ill for a lot of his short reign I like Darren Moore a lot 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Go back a little further. If DC had got rid of Monk in Pre season after the disaster of the second half of last season. Then appointed Moore then we would have been in Clover. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’m 100% convinced that you’re correct. Last night we weren’t exactly pulling up trees, but to have players in and around the opposition box every time a winger/midfielder played the ball forward is huge progress itself!

blueandwhitematt Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I think even had he been appointed straight after Pulis (instead of waiting months for the wheels to fall off again under the caretaker and be forced into making a decision) and we'd have probably just had enough.

You can't pin it on 1 man when we've had Monk Pulis Thompson and Moore who've all made errors as well. Because under Pulis first couple of games aside we were shapeless, listless, zero attacking threat, players clearly didn't understand the tactics or refused to play to the tactics, our shape was off, everything was just a mess, under Moore even the games we should have got more from and didn't were generally due to individual errors that were costly but over the 90 minutes we were for the most part playing as a team with a style and identity that meant players knew where the other was meant to be at all times. The issues that Moore hasn't been able to improve are the fact we have so little coming off the bench Harris, Green, Kachunga have all been abysmal for the last few months. Moore is having to rotate a core of about 14 players he knows he can somewhat rely on to do what he expects of them. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice before the end of the season to have a team that could give a consistent level of performance for the full 90 minutes compared to the one half we currently have. I cannot remember a season when 1st to 2nd half was so chalk and cheese these are not kids playing they are season pro's when the dust settles a lot of them should be hanging their heads in shame of some of the performance they have churned out this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) Sometimes I've enjoyed watching us play football under Moore, that in itself is a monumental improvement on Monk, Pulis. Edited April 21, 2021 by striker 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Its impossible to say. Moore still wouldn't have been able to bring anyone in the January transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobowl Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I've seen this team under enough managers to realise the players are poor, you can't polish a turd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
