I don’t think there will be any rumours, Monk will be given time to turn things around, Steve Gibson is a patient man. Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think there will be any rumours, Monk will be given time to turn things around, Steve Gibson is a patient man. Let's wait and see, I think if this form continues the fans will force Gibson's hand. The next home defeat will see the fans turn on Monk in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 If we put in another poor display at Wednesday it'll be interesting to see how many show up against Bolton. Boxing Day should mean almost a full house but fans could quickly start voting with their feet. Link to post Share on other sites

BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It’s our away form that is really shocking, has been for ages. Whilst we pick up the odd win at home, fans will keep turning up and won’t protest too much. Social media and on-line forums often exegerate popular opinion. The majority of Boro fans don’t post on-line, it’s the old echo chamber effect. Link to post Share on other sites
northern boro 446 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson now has 2 huge decisions to make as January looms large The Boro chairman will be worried, angry and frustrated with what he’s seen this season so far, writes Philip Tallentire http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-chairman-steve-gibson-now-14050427 Link to post Share on other sites

A few hundred people (possibly fewer) feel they are the voice of tens of thousands because they all agree with each other in a small group. Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree, online forums usually have a balance of opinions. Read any online forum/social media outlet/Gazette comments section now and it's pretty unanimous against Monk. Even the Gazette reporters are pretty much saying the same thing. If you think it's a small minority that are disillusioned you're way out of touch. Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say, I've been of the opinion "give him a bit more time", but its now at the stage which something has to change. I don't think the players are playing to their potential, I don't think they're motivated, and I don't think they actually know their roles in the "system of the week" formation merry-go-round. Something has to change........ Link to post Share on other sites

mj south 610 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Yes I agree that Gibson is a patient man and always gives his manager time to turn things around but the problem with Monk is it's the same mistakes time and time again! How long should he wait before accepting enough is enough Link to post Share on other sites
