From Wilder's interview last night, it is clear that he understands where the pessimism comes from - our history. At half-time I was properly pissed off. I was freezing cold, a striker with a controversial life off the field looked like he could be costing us promotion (familiar?), and our defending for a few minutes had been reminiscent of the last 10 minutes at Villa. In particular, the repeated allowing of 2 on 1 at corners was pretty awful, and we only survived because their finishing was woeful. The mood on the Kop reflected that. It looked like the moment it all went wrong, something we have experienced many times before. But half-time, things were sorted, and Wilder/Knill showed us once again that things might just be different under their regime. And I think Wilder understands where we are coming from. The only thing that makes me question whether he is a true Blade is his lack of pessimism!
