Attention "know it alls"

[Silent Blade]

One of my favourite quotes came from Joe Mercer (when he was SUFC manager) when he shut up one of the SUFC directors who was questioning his tactics and team selections

Joe Mercer: What do you know about football, then?


SUFC Director: I have watched football for many years so I consider myself to be an expert

Joe Mercer: My wife has been sat next to me watching me driving my car for so many years, and she still cant bloody drive!

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Well I can drive so there
Errr, did I miss the point here?

 

[hazzasufc_]

So no one can criticise anyone? We all sit in lala land and dig our head in the ground because we all know fuck all? Sick of everyone up Wilder's arse, he's not some almighty perfect angel. He made a bad choice and an obvious mistake today, any and every manager can do it. No need to justify it or blame it on the fans who pay hard earned money and time to watch and support the team. Onto Derby. UTB

 

[Harvey Robinson-Smythe]

Derby next. Think that will be another loss.

I'm yet to hear a CW post match interview and not be encouraged and re-assured SB.
That says it all for me.

You are trying your best to miss the point

 

[Carlton Blade]

We are consistently inconsistent. And my wife is an excellent driver. She must be to criticise my driving that much

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

I was trying my best to be funny but failed miserably! Think I'll stick to the serious stuff for a while

 

[Rodley]

6th in the league. We need 2 or 3 additions.

Will be further wobbles before the end of the season. Wilder will get it all sorted.

Criticism is fine, but has to be reasoned. I doubt any club will play an unchanged team Boxing Day, today and Monday. Given concerns over the fitness levels of Donaldson and Baldock, which options would have been better? Give reasons. I would be concerned about Injury to Baldock, and I am not sure Donaldson is effective against a packed defence - he's better on the break.

 

[Bladebri]

We will lose matches that we think we should win and win matches that we think difficult, coming into 2018 I am delighted where we are.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Derby next. Think that will be another loss.

As much as today was a guaranteed win? its football, dont bet against us getting a result at Derby.

Yeah, but if he makes a mistake, she'll have a good idea when it happens

Both of those players came on in the 30th and 60th minute so I don't see the point in "rotation".

 

[Muttley]

He knew he made a mistake, that's why he changed it after half an hour. Credit to him for that.

No. Let's just all enjoy the journey. Remember that.
Six years in league one. Remember that.
Sixth in the Championship. Just remember that.

You don't need to be a 5* Michelin Chef to say that a meal was awful

I'm delighted as the next blade and definitely didn't expect this position but what I saw tonight has really put me off. It didn't feel like the fighting spirit we have always had since Wilder has been in charge. It seems to have rubbed off to the fans as well, very poor support from us saying there was 27000 blades there.

I think players who are not completely match-fit are more likely to pick up strains, pulls, etc. if they play a full 90 minutes several times in succession. Admittedly Baldock was probably pushing it playing 60 mins.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

True. But I'll be hungry again very soon and look forward to a better meal next time.

(I'm talking about being hopeful for points against Derby )

Let's just hope Jaunary plugs the hole of our depth problem then if this is the case. I'd probably be looking around the 4-5 player mark and possibly 2-3 out.

You're the only 'know it all' on here Silent, it's you who deals in facts, we all deal in opinions.

I knowsnowt.

I'm with Greasy on this one. I can drive a car but I'm not a football expert so does that make me Joe Mercers wife?

I love this sort of thing, can we have more.........

 

[mosbolad]

Brilliant Bladebri....Are you a horse? or Santa.....a newspaper maybe?

I don't know but this is great. What I joined this forum for!

 

[wizadry]

If you can’t criticise anything about Wilder especially after today then what’s the point in a forum? absolute bollocks and hypocrisy of the highest order.

No need for it.

Times have moved on since Joe Mercer was a manager and his missus being a shite driver (RIP), both would struggle to do both things the same way today and say the same things.

Was about to say you don't need a degree it meteorology to know it's pissing down!

To be fair Tufty comes out and admits his errors. Sadly at this level, they get punished!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Football shouldn't be over thought, it's not complicated. It's managers that make it complicated.

 

[AWetFlannel]

Hindsight kings will always complain without dealing with the actual dilemma Wilder has.
Freeman is out injured, Baldock hampered by injuries all season, one days rest between today and our next match.

 

[Sean Thornton]

If you don't understand the make up of a meal made by a 5* Michelin starred chef because you only eat fish fingers normally, your opinion isn't necessarily valid.
