Couldn’t agree more Andrew. I think we saw Monk use the tools at his disposal. He has a great opportunity to shape the squad, style he wants over the summer l. I think we are going to see a very different brand of football under the Monk

Surely Wigan was his best game?

Result wise - Barnsley Entertainment wise - Wigan Best ‘performance’ wise - Port Vale. Came for the point, never looked in trouble albeit against an awful team and played well within ourselves and got exactly what we needed.

All of this, he came in with a mission to keep us up with the hand he was dealt. He has already started shaping the squad for next season by releasing players, the key will be for him to get the players he wants to play in the style and patterns that he will train them to.
Pre-season will be interesting, as will the start to the season, because however we set out, its quite likely that clubs who play us early won't know what to expect.

Largely true, but we did need an intervention from Agent Ikpeazu to get that point.

I would rate the Wycombe point above Port Vale tho - we never looked like losing.

Setting up to piss about with the ball & playing for a draw does not normally work for us. Should have played to win as we could have easily gone done had Burton & Cheltenham not fecked it up & Uche misses an absolute sitter

Should have played to win as we could have easily gone done had Burton & Cheltenham not fecked it up & Uche misses an absolute sitter We'd looked nervous and pretty dire for the most part of the last two seasons, tbh. The strange thing was that, after looking a genuinely decent counter-attacking side in our first season at L1 level, we then lost our way and became far more worried about trying not to lose by attempting, mostly unsuccessfully, to 'park the bus', with minimal thought given to trying to outscore the opposition. Rather than gaining experience and confidence from additional seasons in league one, we seemed to go backwards. Hence the club felt obliged to replace the head coach. Garry Monk has shown flashes that he could be the right tactician to give us a balance between attack and defence again.

If only we had Joe from the internet in the dugout to show the professional managers how it's done.

I'd like to assure Garry Monk that my username predates his time here and is in no way an attempt to make a monkey out of him.

In fairness, if I was the manager, I would instruct the ground staff not to water the pitch for 10 years, send Liam Bennett out on loan, tell the players if they are a soldier or an artist, tell The Broph not to score for 2 years and then probably play about 10 strikers.

Tell me I’m alone on this if you wish and I’m creating an issue out of nothing but I for one don’t like the ultra casual attitude of the media guy
Asking about resigning Kach, Brophs, SK, Mams. You don’t even save any letters or time turning Brophy to Brophs
Later he asks about James Gibbo and then corrects himself to James Gibbons
It’s fine for a manager to do this but in my opinion not realy professional if you are a media officer
Off to the Habbin for me as I get older and crankier

But then again, I'm a Habbinite already!
