Ten goals in two games eh. Watching Morrison get out stripped for pace is a pleasing sight, he could never run anyway. Considering that a lot of United players rival King Herod for age, the problem might be as simple as burnout, and fatigue.

That blaming Monk is an easy way out.

Blame Barry, he is the architect of a squad with an average age of 56, and players with a history of injury, and a squad size that you could fit into a Robin Reliant.

Trotting onto the pitch thinking youd rather not be there because of emotional tiredness, physical tiredness, injury, even a minor one, knowing your going to put your body on the line again, but deciding not to, results in Reading away.

Playing too many games is as bad as a physical injury. Why am i helping?, i like Monk, hes ok. To suddenly find yourself at a chip shop rather than a s****y restaurant, United in other words, is going to be a big thing to get used to.

Two weeks off might result in united competing again. Might not. The old players may subconsciously quit. Its not Monks fault, he walked in on it.

A bad decision, taking over a souhern league club with a southern league owner, if he makes a success of it he will have rehabbed himself.

Oh, by the way Chalky, county have conceded 77 goals and its only March, who have you got at the bacxk? ex cambridge players?

Oh and Mr Monk, if you perform a miracle and keep United up, and then even making progress, get out when you can, the Cambridge sack will get you, like it did Bonner.
