sanddancer 1,964 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Btw guys are we been to critical? I wonder if the club feels its necessary to come back up at the first occasion, apart from Gibsons comment about trying to smash the league but i dont remember him putting a time frame on it. Monk having never got a club up from the championship i wonder if hes been given 2 seasons to do it to build his experience and his team in the first year and the second year is the objective is promotion or to smash the league. By the way thats just me thinking aloud not saying its correct In defence of Monk this must be the best post to date. Fact is this Monk posting? Link to post Share on other sites

MBG42 312 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I’d hate to go back to those narrow1-0 victories, life under Monk is far more exciting! :( It was desperately dull and boring a lot of the time, wasn't it? If Monk can somehow just figure out how to get us to defend, we're golden. ;) Are we? We're not exactly free scoring at the moment... 14 goals in the last 10 games, its not bad. I think its clear to see our problems are defensively. That’s 64 Goals over a 46 game season. Unless you have Karanka’s defence that isn’t good enough. Link to post Share on other sites

Well the results were nice but the football was awful. The football was fine we beat Norwich 4-0, hammered Millwall, took apart a good Brighton team, I think you are letting last season taint your memories. Link to post Share on other sites

By the way thats just me thinking aloud not saying its correct Stop making excuses for him, he's been given more than enough resources this season. Thats not me making excuses for him thats more me questioning the clubs plan more than anything tbh Fair enough! With the money Monk has been given Gibson will expect promotion this season imo. I think Monk is under serious pressure at the moment, Gibson gives managers time but new managers have usually come in when the expectations are lower. This season is completely different we cannot be drifting away from the playoff positions otherwise Gibson might have to act. History tells you that if you don't bounce back up in your first season you generally go backwards as a club. Link to post Share on other sites
