Sod wa

Stevens not tracking back looks disinterested

He cant pass cant defend only thing he can do at times is whip in a few dangerous balls every now and again.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Jack O Connell looks a right prick with those blue boots on.

 

[Johnnyblade]

Can we change the subs rule to 7 at HT?

 

[SUFCinks]

Wolves look really silky BTW, we should be aspiring to play like this. So much technical ability on the ball, nice neat purposeful passing with pace and skill.

 

[O Fletch]

Performances like this can force the board into further investment

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Yeah, I’m loathe to slag players off but he really doesn’t look with it. Whether his mind is elsewhere I don’t know but we’re carrying him.

If i was Wilder I would not wait till half time get Sharp off for Burke and get Ampadu on for Lundstram.

Unfortunately if we want to play like this we need quality and investment which we don't have

 

[boss hog]

We did a great marking job on Traore a couple of months back,upto now he's had more touches than anyone.

 

[@thelane]

First game.....we look lethargic, but we need a spark from somewhere.....where is moose?

 

[nathxnblade]

We’re really missing Berge’s aggression in the middle of the park

 

[SouthportBlade]

Most of the team look off the pace.

Back 3 being run ragged by Jimenez.
Fullbacks getting skinned and not getting forward.
Lundstram and Fleck anonymous.
No chance for the forwards, aimless punts up to them.

I've not doubt we'll change this around, but this is a woeful start.

Wouldnt be surprised to see 5 or 6 of this 11 being subs in a few games. Sharp, Lundstram, Baldock, Stevens and maybe Fleck & McBurnie.

Based on this Lowe, Bogle, Berge, Osborn, Ampadu, McG, Mousset all should be chomping at the bit.

Him and Osborn would add urgency at least

 

[WestSiberiaBlade]

Why the heck should it be so black and white, you people thinking Wilder is God? Well, he's not. He'd tell that to you himself. This was one embarassment to start a season with, and Wilder is surely also responsible. He's also responsible for that jargon about us having had the best transfer window, as also for signing C. Robinson and McBurnie, and playing Sharp upfront. Yet, he's the man to congratulate to have had made miracles, getting us to the 9th place last season. F*cking hell with you all.

 

[SUFCinks]

AdamSufc1997 Weve been linked to some good names but people moan they dont ‘run enough’ or arent ‘Sheffield united players’ with this mentality i think we will never change drastically.

 

[LS16Blade]

If you stand still in the Premier League, you get into trouble.

Our 10 outfield players are the same ones that started the last game before lockdown v Norwich. There are no surprises for Wolves here...

 

[FriethBlade]

There is absolutely no flair in our team whatsoever.

 

[BobblesBlade]

Put in perspective Wolves have a great team and we don’t.
Last season we looked good enough pre lockdown but gash post lockdown.
We are playing with an old striker and still unsure on McBurnie.
We needed to get two quality strikers in and we haven’t yet.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

That will take serious investment and I cant see that unless we get a mega rich owner.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

George Baldock just won the ‘how hard can I hit it out of play’ award.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

We need some athleticism desperately, and we’ve wide open at the back so I fail to see how 3-4-1-2 makes us less solid...

 

[ZLB]

They're taking the piss

yes but our fans are like that.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

There is absolutely no flair in our team whatsoever.

Because we fill our midfield with defensive midfielders we are crying out for an attack minded player to just have a run at them and put them under but we don't have it.

Eze would have been perfect for that role.

 

[Willglynning]

You are tempting fate still another 60 minutes left.

Given we didn’t have a single shot on target that game we’ve already somehow put in a more threatening performance- not that that’s saying much at all.

 

[SUFCinks]

Because we fill our midfield with defensive midfielders we are crying out for an attack minded player to just have a run at them and put them under but we don't have it.

Eze would have been perfect for that role.

he doesnt run enough for some of our fans. Even swift would add a lot to our midfield

 

[DronnieBlade]

3 big strong aerially dominant CBs.

Lump it up try for the bits !!!

Mmmm.

UTB

 

[HeySethUTB]

Yep. Another cross. No one to realistically aim for. Berge and Dizdy on for me.

 

[originaltrueblade]

If i was Wilder I would not wait till half time get Sharp off for Burke and get Ampadu on for Lundstram.

Yes agree with that

 

[jt64]

Let's not panic, Wolves have looked pretty darned good, but Berge on for Lunny seems a must

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Sorry but sharp shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting 11 and probably not in the squad
