Duvel 2,446 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Bring back Agnew, come home Steve all is forgiven! Steady on Duvel, I wasn't advocating a return for Agnew, I was just wondering if Monk would work more efficiently alongside a decent number 2. As far as I know, he doesn't have one. I was joking mate :) Link to post Share on other sites
Micky050976 7 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 first of all I have to say i cannot believe that you bringing up all talk about "sacking monk" - crisis we only 10 games into the league and only 8pt behind Cardiff which I doubt that they will stay up there forever as they will have bad runs!! we were unbeaten for 7 games before last night game and because we lost last night so now there talk about sacking monk?? WTF??? Yes I agree that the game last night was poor of course but like people said that Norwich had most of their players inside of their box most of the game which we were unable to make a break through! I sure that Monk will get this team on a good go once we know our proper team line up! get behind the team and the team management and get a grip haha :) after the game - did I see that someone had rip their season ticket up and threw it on the floor?? (outside the west stand)... Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,260 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It was hypothetical and based on results at the end of the season Mickey...chill. Would you sack Monk if he didn't take us up? Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 You can only sack Monk (which I wouldn't) if you have a viable alternative who's going to improve. Not many out there that I can think of. Unless you want to give to Agnew again? ;) Talking of Agnew, I do think it might be a good idea to appoint a decent assistant manager, is that feasible, or would that mean paying off Agnew first? I can't see that it would. I think it would. I imagine that the reason we don't have an 'assistant manager' is that Agnew is going through some kind of employment tribunal, and therefore is currently still technically in that position. I can't imagine it's as simple as paying him off either, as I'm sure we'd have done it if we could have. Link to post Share on other sites

No I wouldn't as I believe he can go on and be a great manager for us (no matter if he get us up this season or not)... Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 That's interesting to know, Tom, although surely Agnew was "sacked" as manager, not asst. manager. No employment tribunal in the land is going to look at Agnew's time in charge and claim he was unfairly dismissed, he was abysmal from day 1. Link to post Share on other sites

(outside the west stand)... Don't think anyone is saying sack him now, but we need to be doing better come the end of the season. With this squad and the amount of influence Monk has had during the transfer window there is no excuse for not getting promoted. Nothing is won or lost in the september and because of late transfers, injuries and drastic loss of form only Randolph, Gibbo, Fry, Christie and Britt have been mainstays in the lineup. Hopefully three points on saturday and then a two week break to get some more common understanding on the pitch. Once Braithwaite is back in the lineup for Johnson I think we will see him getting into the box more often to support Britt. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he wants the entire contract paid up and we are only offering half. Link to post Share on other sites

Most people I know actually had Sunderland as relegation candidate before the season so I would not compare them to our situation. If we miss playoff its like them coming 20th.....

No one said he should be sacked! It was a question of whether he deserves to be sacked if we don't go up which is a perfectly reasonable debate I think. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 1,006 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 People talking of sacking the manager after one bad result, on the back of good run, are literally brain dead - I saw people comparing this Boro side to the one under Strachan. I'd say review the situation come the end of the season. On Saturday I'd like to see him shake the squad up a bit, for me Clayton has been awful recently - if Leadbitter can play, I'd start him. Also give Shotton and Braithwaite starts for Fry and Johnstone. Link to post Share on other sites
Boro Badger 87 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Can we all just remember that Norwich have a very good defence. They have gone seven hours and 48 minutes without conceding in the league. They set up to shut us out, fair play to them. If we cut out the mistakes and become more clinical in front of goal, we'll be laughing. A settled team/tactics will help with that, which will happen over time. There are 36 matches to go and 108 points still to play for - there's a long way to go yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,294 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Just watched the highlights. I still can't believe we didn't score or create bigger chances with all that pressure. It was 10 mins of all boro except for their goal, Jeromes chance and a a couple of other half chances. Link to post Share on other sites
