Having watched the shambles I fear for Monk
First of all he picked Grimes who appeared to me to be terrified as he walked onto the pitch no wonder the midfield got swamped and he was totally lost, no better than Mowatt
Secondly Green had a very poor game and looked like he hadn't played for 8 months, no better than Silvestri
Thirdly he picked Berradi who was not fit .Coyle played well not his fault he was marking Polter, that blame should be on Bambas toes
Fourthly Dave looked totally unfit losing possession many times
Fifthly Dallas seemed to be still on his honeymoon
Sixthly we only had no one guarding the back post at corners if he does this against Matt Smith next week other wise he will score an hattrick
What was he thinking about?
Seventhly the free kick from which they scored, why was Coyle marking Polter that should have been Bamba no wonder the kid was out muscled.,bad planning Monk
Young Viera was naturally distraught when he gave a penalty away who put his arm round him Bamba the so called captain NO It was Bartley who should take the band
Pleased with the cameo of Sacko and Antonsson who should both do well
So Gary get your thinking cap on because if you continue with producing and picking wrong teams you will be looking for a new monasartry before Sept
I would also have Roofe positioned just outside the D when we are taking corners as he has a great shot in him
Finally and I don't blame Monk for this our preparations were not properly thought out we played Shamrock Rovers second team Peterboro not
the type of opposition we required we needed some top teams to get us up to speed the blame lies with MC along with the fact we have received £15m including Bryram and spent £5,5 where as the rest gone to CELLINO
How can we possibly get into the top 6 having spent nothing again
will Monk be looking for a new monastary

I think the teams we play don't really matter, as long as rigorous fitness training is done from the start on the training pitch.
QPR looked 50% fitter than us, because they concentrated on it and it caught us out. The planning in pre season was shambolic and bringing in new coaches at the start of every season kills it off as we lose too much ground trying to figure out what we did wrong.
We have to build and build. It will never happen under Cellino, because he makes enemy's with everyone including coaches and players.

Do you think there's any monasteries out there that'd take x-Leeds manacoaches in?..
If yes then I hope it has enough rooms!..

Totally agree with Bartley for captain. I was shocked that Bamba was chosen again. Last season he was frequently a liability - not a good way to gain the respect of his teammates.
Bartley leads by example.

From recent reports it would appear I may be not far off the mark with my assessments Lets hope Monk gets it right as it will be very cold in Kirkstall Abbey

If he is sacked, you can be sure that his severance deal will include a vow of silence.
