Football Heaven - Wilder: 'It was a fully committed performance' - BBC Sounds

Blades manager Chris Wilder after FA cup defeat against Arsenal.

I can't disagree with a word of that.

 

[BigBed]

Same old Arsenal, always cheating.

 

[Trafford]

Sorry, can’t agree that Norwood had a good game or McGoldrick for that.

 

[Antonb]

mcg got better as the game went on.

I thought Olly did ok

The players for me that are struggling for form are Fleck, Enda and Baldock. As others say, when Fleck hasn’t played for a while he usually takes a few games to get to his best. Not sure what’s up with Enda? Is he missing JOC? and Baldock doesn’t seem to be at his best either

Disagree on Baldock. He’s been one of our few players at the races since football has returned. Was fine today, nothing more, but also nothing less.

One could argue he’s done ok, I just don’t think he’s at his best and as CW says, for us to do well, they all have to be at their best. Players like JF GB & ES have contributed greatly to our success. Get those 3 back to somat like with the others and we’ll pick some points up

 

[Worksop II]

All good from Chris, Baldock didn't get over the half line first half, must have been energy levels .... 4th start

Looks like we have a free weekend 11th July now Chelsea in the Semis, a bit more time to recharge

 

[8lade]

I wouldn't want to see our players go down like that, yes down rather than try and stay on their feet but that shite today is a disgrace to football.

Guess football's all about opinions. But it makes me feel good that I share the same judgement of performances as probably the best manager we will ever have!

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Another great interview. Chris wilder is such a class act. Love him to bits.

 

[1066blade]

Let's face it after a mare of a first half, he was lucky to get the chance to stay on and improve, slightly.

It's no coincidence that we've had our most sustained period of attacking play since the restart while McGoldrick has been on the pitch. Well pleased he's finally got himself a goal this season as well.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

CW calls it spot on again .. agree with all that

 

[Carlton Blade]

I thought he was great the last 20 minutes

Semis are 18th/19th July

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Semis are 18th/19th July

Even better, Chelsea will play the 2nd team

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Even better, Chelsea will play the 2nd team

Someone said that to me in 1994.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Someone said that to me in 1994.

Was it Hans Segers?

 

[Bladezz]

People actually watched that game and didn’t think Didzy had a good game. I give in.

I didn't think he played particularly well. Shoot me! Seriously. He was ok and got better but first half he was shocking with everything coming off him and the first goal came from him losing the ball. He also missed a good chance. Even 2nd half not sure he was that great but did improve. Towards the end his touch improved and we saw the drag back and he scored of course. However, for the most part he slowed us down and not in a good way and his tough and passing was not always secure. He was way too slow to react to things and twice lost it when dawdling in a good position.

McBurnie was miles better today IMHO

 

[Deadbat]

Disagree on Baldock. He’s been one of our few players at the races since football has returned. Was fine today, nothing more, but also nothing less.

Baldock has been one of our better players but struggled 2nd half at Man Utd andvtodsy he was poor. Tierney got away from him quite a few times and we saw nothing from him in an attacking sense. He looked knackered and Wilder took him off.

He has been much better than Enda who looks a League 1 player the last 4 games.

The only thing I’d say about Norwood is that pinging 40 yarders is ok but easy to defend against if they lead to nothing. Prior to the break we were working the wings with pace and clever short passes. Norwood’s ability to switch wings with a single pass was very effective but, at the moment it leads to nothing more. Not his fault but we simply don’t pose the same threat down the flanks currently

All about opinions but Baldock has been our 2nd or 3rd best player since the restart, after Basham and maybe Henderson. He wasn't amazing today but did ok.

It's the left side of the house that is concerning at the moment.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Listened to his aftermatch interview which was great and as honest as ever,but it seems Arsenal have left a bad taste in his mouth regarding their players falling over at every opportunity.

He says he seriously considering telling the players to fall over rather than be honest and try to stand up when in close contact with oppo players.

I dont think its a bad idea,but dont be a team of Grealishes.

There is a player available to sign who is already schooled,owd Fernando,i think that FF would give a kidney to have a crack at the Prem.

 

[8lade]

,i think that FF would give a kidney to have a crack at the Prem.

My first sight of that I read as, "he'd give a kidney punch to the Premier League."
It's an old joke and had it's time but that wouldn't be a bad swan song for it. But you didn't say it, too bad.
