As per the subject, has he ever been? Or has he just moved on to new jobs? Sounds like a winner to me and someone that doesn't accept mediocrity.
Personally i like the sound of him. He is informative in his interviews and pulls no punches. Quite clearly, last night was not acceptable and his interview has demonstrated that.
This is not a new scenario. Season after season we have these results. Season after season we change managers and the new manager makes a team by blending old and new.
However, after 3 league games, as like after 2, we're still in the infancy, but we are clearly having major issues. 3 of the back 5 are new, but its no excuse. Wilder hasn't changed the side, they should be starting to know each other and know their roles. Long despite his relative youth in the position has experience of bad form and how to come through it.
I can only currently go on what i hear/ see, so i understand that the goals came from defensive errors and lack of communication. This shouldn't be happening. Where is the leader in the back four (five)? Who is standing up and taking the responsibility back there? Wilson? O'Connell? Long?
Midfield was clearly not working and Flecks withdrawal, if it wasn't for injury, is telling if Coutts replaced him. If James Wallace is fit (unlikely i know) then he should be working his arse off to save his job at the lane.
What will Wilder do now? I think he no longer has a choice but to drop Long, I like Long, but if he has no confidence and the crowd get on his back (rightly or wrongly) at the slightest issue, then he needs that time out. Would I bring Ramsdale in for a debut away at Millwall... Its a risk, but it can't be any worse than being at the lane.
The players have to start playing for Wilder. They are clearly not following instruction so perhaps its time to do things his way instead of coming along for a free ride.
