There is a very strong whiff of Brent about him, which is quite endearing.

11 Pts from his 16 games I know he is on a project to play Swansea style football but do you do that regardless of results or change it to suit the players we have ?

In fairness, with the players we currently have fit, what would you do instead? We don't, until yesterday, have a player available in the squad capable of holding the ball up up front. Could be looking to drill it into the channels for the likes of Lavery et al to get after I guess.

Could be looking to drill it into the channels for the likes of Lavery et al to get after I guess. The injuries don’t help particularly up front but I feel he is trying to run before he can walk. I just don’t feel he has the players to play the style he is trying too. No one wants Harris hoof ball but probably something in between. The set up today for example needs quick players at wing back not old fashioned full backs which JG/DA are. We’ve got 2 young CB’s with a nervy young keeper behind them which needs addressing too. I hope he and his staff use the break to have a think and reset. I worry Monk is a bit stubborn though which may be his undoing.

Certainly would stop the endless passes across the defence and keeper which adds to the pressure with to many balls go astray also look to break quicker something Bristol did well the time it took today after the 20 passes across the back Bristol had enough time to reset.

We could have the best manager in the world and they would still be stuck with the players provided by the fucking clowns in our recruitment team.

I do wonder if we’ve actually seen those we’ve brought in play. I will be amazed if Longelo starts a league game for us. He might create a bit of chaos from the bench every now and then but I don’t see him offering much else.
Was really impressed with C O’R after his debut, but he looks so insecure and totally lacking in self belief. Compare him to Barton, they are worlds apart. He’s also very slow and teams have and will continue to exploit that. The fact Digby was yet again briefly deployed back there says it all.

I know we had chats with many players which did nt come off including Marcus Brown who is hoping for a championship side so think we ended up taking who would actually come rather than the targets Monk wanted but own youth players look a lot better prospects than those we have got in.

No, no. Apparently these don't happen. You & I are fantasists.

No shite sherlock, but the recruitment has been an issue for a lot longer than the managers have and you may be naive enough to believe our signings were Monks first choice but I am not. If we sacked Monk tomorrow we would still be stuck with the absolute dickheads within the rest of the structure that is massively failing the club.
