Another Wilder thread but...

[Ricky]

What he's done is incredible. Hats off to him.

And he's done it in a short space of time without even spending a lot of money.

1-0 down at half time used to mean no chance of a win. Now it means next to nothing. We've got character, ideas, flexibility and goals.

We were even pressing hard at 4-1 up, Coutts and Fleck busting a gut to get to the ball and keep it. That perfectly sums up the transformation Wilder's overseen.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Best manager we've had since.......

 

[Seanshoreham]

Said weeks ago that Tufty is like the great John Harris - haven't changed my mind...........

 

[Hodgyman]

Agree with other comments on here but save some praise to share with Alan Knill and our fitness coach too. Our quick passing style and our really excellent fitness levels mean that opponents can't maintain their energy levels against us. We seem to tear opposition apart in the last 20 - 30 minutes of games and score several goals in that period.

I can't remember seeing a United side so fit since the days of Tony Daley

Or combine determination with ability so well!

Delighted it's going so well for Chris and Alan

Wright off for Clarke was such a brave move. I cant think of a manager we have had in my lifetime who would have made that move

 

[PokerBlade]

Wright off for Clarke was such a brave move. I cant think of a manager we have had in my lifetime who would have made that move

Wright had been quality again, too. So even more bold to go all out for the win. Not our best start today but the longer the match went on the more we dominated every area of the pitch.

I think we played 3 different formations in the second half

352, 433 & 442

 

[gavtheblade]

Our mid field is excellent, great mid fields make successful teams.
All credit to tufty, he's taken a down trodden team to a squad of winners.
Brilliant today blades, keep the good times going.

I thought he was our best defender again. I have to admit I was saying "What the fuck" when he made that change but that's why Wilder manages us and I once took Villa down on Champ Man

 

[Grizzly blade]

I think he made the change to up the pace. Wright for all he's been excellent isn't the best with the ball. Making that change after we had established control of midfield was a master stroke. Another example of getting his tactics right, and making the changes at the right time.

Its amazing how we never had a plan B last season but now we have about 50 plans

 

[Ricky]

We needed to move to a back four, I thought we looked more stable when he made the change. And the game was crying out for Clarke - we were having possession and getting crosses in.

It wasn't great in the first half but you can have confidence that Wilder will change things when necessary. That's why I was confident we'd get a result. We've got options and he knows how to use them.

And they actually work

I said same when he put Done to wing back....but not long after he put it right by bringing OConnell on.

Let's not overreact yet.

In what way exactly?

 

[blade too long]

I thought before the season started Chris was a good appointment
However he is far exceeding what even me as a clapper could have expected
Hes brought passion and belief to the club in spades
His aggressive play in the oppositions half is whats been missing
theres far less chance of us leaking goals if we are encamped round their penalty area
football is a simple game
Chris has kept the basics as simple as possible
play a defender at the back , midfielders in midfield,, win the ball back as soon as possible , feed the forwards
Hes got us playing with great width and pace
and the most important of all
with smiles on our faces

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Plus he is tactically sharp - much more then I thought before he came in - and has won us games, e.g. Mk Dons, and today, because he read the situation and changed things, resulting in wins.

 

[Bergen Blade]

I said same when he put Done to wing back....but not long after he put it right by bringing OConnell on.

We switched to a back four when Clarke came on, so Done wasn't at wing back. Ten minutes later the score was 3-1, so O'Connell came on to solidify the defence again, switching back to 3-5-2.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Hmmm....way I saw it is that Lafferty went into the 3. Then took off Done and reverted to him as WB.

Never mind....its good we can be flexible

 

[blade too long]

both Bassett and Warnock , had very capable number twos
Alan Knill is our peter taylor to CW who will be our BRIAN clough

 

[itsinyerblood]

Let's not overreact yet.

Well I think Chrissy is just like a butch Ena Sharples, so there!

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I think he's absolutely nothing like him personally/- couldn't be more different- but there we go.
