Well there’s always exceptionsFunny cos the team I played for for 5 years had one. She helped loads of the lads, some of who initially took the piss about it and found the help invaluable, not just in their matchday approach but in life as well.
I 100% did not. I know you are a bit upset but you’re just making things up now. A bit sad really.Yes you did.. I remember shoutbox debates on election night...
It might be said that some of the substitutions he makes are far from impressive.By persisting with his team selections and shape and formation as discussed here:
https://www.s24su.com/forum/index.p...em-were-playing-youre-talking-nonsense.84522/
Sneering at fans calling them 'Playstation managers' and saying that their criticism of the team and players is 'cheap'.
If it works fair play to him!
That is true but at some stage someone has to take responsibility.Awful tactics, awful decisions and awful signings, In what’s been a truly awful season. But it is the measure of Chris Wilders achievements at this club, which dictates he still has plenty of credit left in the bank.
That may be true, but why is he under such pressure?There's no other club in the world that is under such scrutiny as Sheffield United.
And I include MUFC in that.
Wilder is under intense pressure.
In that case the club has failed to prepare him properly.Many years ago I took a degree in Social Psychology which included non verbal communications. It's been many years since I used that training but for what it's worth I wouldn't see anything unusual about his body language. There are points that could be made about his eye contact and about his hands. If you were reaching you might point to voice tone.
To be honest, what I see is a disappointed bloke trying to give honest but difficult answers and thinking about what he's saying. I also see a bloke who has probably never been given a single pointer about how to make clear public presentations - which I think is more likely to be the root cause of his quite muddled and wandering comments, his eye contact etc.
But as I say, it's been a long time since I was involved in counseling and stuff - so I could be totally wrong.

You should take up this management lark to be fair FM you seem to have all the answers.Norwood as a sub? Here's what I said in early December:
'Be more strategic with substitutions. I can't see there being any rational in bringing Norwood on yesterday for example.'
As for his recent press conference, it wasn't all bad and there were some things I agreed with but he should not say. The world is more sensitive than he thinks it is or should be.
If a potential new player saw that press conference would they want to be a part of that?
It’s not about bringing politics into it for me, I genuinely don’t care. It’s just he’s becoming a bit incoherent as the season goes on. At times the rambling, and the ill-thought out diatribes come off unprofessional and cringey. I’m finding myself drawing breath whenever he speaks in public, a bit like when a steaming drunk uncle wants to make an impromptu speech at Nan’s wake.

leftie comment hasn't gone down well
He's wet the bed .You seem a bit upset snowflake.
Not sure why - he was spot on.
He just feels inferior to them but can never admit it lolLeftie comment is weird. Like a random thing to put in that cluster. “I’m not in psychologists or do-gooders, or Birdseye Crispy Pancakes”
Tossing yourself off because a manager makes a comment against lefties, wow what a winProven wrong on politics? Remind me again, when was the last Labour (leftie snowflake) government? You lot are losers. Accept it.
Yep, Wilder did 'wet the bed' ( to use another one of your childish sun reader-isms) given how much he was crying during that, ahem, "press conference". Take some responsibility Chris, there's a good lad. Anybody's fault but his, not a good look.He's wet the bed .
You may be right in what he meant but he is the manager of a premier league club and is a fully grown adult. He should know how to relay what he wants in a legible and mature way.I took it when he said "lefties" he was meaning it in the internet sense of leftie sjw snowflake types who might get upset whenever someone says something they shouldn't. That might be me making the best of a bad comment but in the context of what he was talking about it was about him saying the things people tell him he shouldn't.
Can't say I'm an expert in sports psychology but I've always felt the "don't criticise your players in public" thing was a stupid football culture thing. Wilder isn't giving anything away by saying Kean Bryan's backpass was a huge mistake. Everyone already knew that. Kean Bryan already knew that. I think Wilder's point was that he isn't tearing them apart for mistakes behind the scenes so there's no reason he shouldn't acknowledge them in public.
He's in a position where he can't win. If he's open about things then he'll be ripped apart for it. If he isn't then people will call him delusional or say he's in denial. Fact is we've been awful, we're getting relegated, and there's nothing Wilder can say in an interview that will take away that misery for the fans.
I honestly want to be done with this season. As far as I'm concerned it's been a horrible time, it's not fixable any more, whatever's going on right now we've got a good manager who can do well in the Championship (better than any realistic alternatives at the very least). The sooner this season is over the better.
I don't think it was about what he could say to the players, I think he was talking about what's acceptable to say in public. We went through this with his comments about Henderson, and I was with him then too. But mostly my point is I think there's nothing a manager in his position can say that won't result in a lot of criticism. He said it's not down to the system it's down to players making errors and not performing as well as we've come to expect. I've said that for a long time.You may be right in what he meant but he is the manager of a premier league club and is a fully grown adult. He should know how to relay what he wants in a legible and mature way.
As for sports psychology, it isnt about not criticising players, everyone needs criticism to grow as people. It's about how players handle all types of situations, pressures during their careers. His inference that he cant say what he wants to players is bullshit and seems like an attempt to again deflect any blame for our massive fall from grace from himself.
