What do you want to see in the remaining games this season?

[Stretch]

We are in between places now, nothing to play for but pride, and maybe generate some new ideas for next season. What do you want to see happen with Heckingbottom in charge?

Personally, I think we have to try something new. The 5-3-2 hasn't worked for a while, nor have the tactics, and although I have no idea whether Heckingbottom and Knill are still likely to fancy it, I hope they mix things up.

A few things I would like to see:

• 4-3-3 formation- featuring whichever 2 CBs we have fit (most likely Amps and Bryan, but it's academic with all the injuries really) with Baldock and Osborne at FB. Norwood, Fleck and Bogle in midfield. Didsy, McB and Brewster up top, with Burke and Billy in reserve. Moose will be too busy speaking to his lawyers by the sound of it!
• Start Brewster and Bogle as much as possible. Invest minutes in these lads, build confidence and let them rip in the championship campaign.
• Attack and commit bodies forward - we are no longer going to be remembered as the worst PL team in history, maybe the 3rd or 4th by the time it's done, but how give a **** about that. Try and score some goals and bloody a few more noses on the way down.
• Get some of the young players involved - this is the big plus of giving Heckingbottom the reins for a few months. He will have an idea who might be up to it, and we could see a couple of prospects start to come through.

We might well lose every game, but under the circumstances, it's all a free hit now. Just give us something to be optimistic about FFS!

In a weird kind of way, despite the sadness of losing Wilder, I am mildly excited about seeing what turns out v Leicester.

Players acting like they know they've got something to make up for. Don't care about the results, we're down, but I want to see better levels of concentration, less sideways and backwards, bit of bravery.

And Brewster, Bogle, Bryan, Hackford, and anyone else under 25 who might possibly be decent and do a job in the Championship getting some proper minutes.

And less of Lundstram, he should've been binned a while back - feel like Wilder kept playing him to prove a point or to stick to the point he made to Mike McCarthy or whoever it was who criticised Lundstram on Radio Sheffield ages ago.

 

[pommpey]

Agree with most of the above, but I think we need to go back to basics, as boring as that may be and have four in midfield. Neither Norwood, Lundstram or Fleck have the capability to control the gam in midfield and it is an area with thee we are seriously vulnerable and tend to concede more possession.

---------------------------------------------------Ramsdale----------------------------------------------

--Baldock------------------------Ampadu--------------------------Bryan---------------------Stevens--

--Bogle-------------------------Norwood----------------------------Fleck--------------------Osborn--

-------------------------------------------------McGoldrick----------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------Any one of them-------------------------------------------

Frankly it matters not if we score, just as long as we don't concede and can compete in midfield for once.

Yes, should have also stated, regarding Lundstram. I don't want to see him play another game for us.

The McCarthy thing was really embarrassing for Wilder. Notice how Radio Sheffield NEVER put McCarthy on our games, or pre match pressers after a while. Why? Because Wilder couldn't help but hold a grudge with the guy at every opportunity. Snappy one word responses being the norm or "as i've just told you" as the stock response to any other question.

It was quite pathetic to listen to really. Sorry Chris, but you showed yourself up. Still love ya though

 

[jono_t2000]

Great post/question, thank you for looking forward rather than dwelling on the past.

I don't think Heckingbottom will change tactics as its what he uses with U23s and they're thriving with it.

However I agree about giving Bogle and Brewster as many minutes as possible.

Wonder if he will be brave enough to bin Lunny, would also like to see the youth get a handful of minutes and basically just give the players free reign to try stuff ( shots from outside the box)

Also be interesting to see if can get a tune out of Moose and get him firing again

I'd like to see us playing with a higher tempo of play, stop conceding daft goals so that teams actually have to earn their wins against us again, committing men into the oppositions box and getting balls pumped into their box if we are losing with 10 to go.

But most importantly of all, being encouraged to have a few shots when the opportunity arises rather than having another 20 extra touches before losing possession. The number of shots we have on the oppositions net means that the vast majority of opposition keepers we've faced this season haven't even had to bother getting their kit washed afterwards.

Exactly, just pepper the goal with shots, make the keeper work!

None of this try and walk the ball into the net shit lol

 

[knowsnowt]

Tbh I'm of a mind not to watch tomorrow, I can see utter confusion and steptoe and Co putting 10 past us. It just doesn't bear thinking about.

To be honest mate, I have seen plenty of that already this season anyway. Tomorrow is a free hit, if not the morning after a rather heavy and angry drinking session, speaking metaphorically.

It could be a rout, or it might just be a breath of fresh air that gives us something positive to talk about. A lot depends on how the players have taken it I suppose.

As I said yesterday I can see the ayers being totally shell shocked like when Ched went down, and I can't blame them.
I probably Will watch as I'm an total flaggaliist but I can't see any positive outcome. I'll be happy if we just keep the score respectable.

I think the difference with the Ched fallout, is that none of the players expected that to happen back then, along with the rest of us.

If any of our current players have half of a brain, they knew this has been coming for weeks, sadly.

It could go either way though.

We'll see.
I've just no appetite for it atm though.

I have felt like that all season. It's more or less turned me away from the sport, not just our results, but effectively watching training games. It's shite.

I will only tune in tomorrow to (maybe) watch something different in terms of tactics and/or personnel.

I've been counting down the days until F1 starts again, F1 is supposed to be the boring one, and United supply the excitement, says it all when I'm looking forward to an 8th straight uncontested Merc double haha

 

[Micky Narker]

Pointless picking Jags, Ampadu, Lundstram, need to look ahead to next season. Hopefully the formation gets mixed up and the likes of Brewster and McBurnie get a few goals...

 

[McGrath]

I'd like to see the season cancelled right now.

Don't want to witness any more of it.

I'd be surprised if anything good happens.

 

[bladesmanluke]

I'll be honest.

I don't. For the first time since I started supporting United I don't want to see them at all. Absolutely sick to the stomach and sleeping on it has only reaffirmed that feeling. Stupid, stupid bastards

 

[Tezza1889]

Tell you what I dont want to see..

Vardy score today.

He'll rub it in the fucking pig.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Could be a bloodbath today, I'll be watching purely because I've a masochistic streak.

I wouldn't expect massive changes to the squad, if any.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

It's nailed on and the pigs will win today

Great post. I would also like to see players playing who will be here next season and some other tactics as has been said. Try another keeper as well. Lowe, Brewster, Bogle should all start and lunny, stevens should be binned off. We are going down regardless.

 

[Dkc]

Part of me wants us to lose every game from now on, and do shit next season. It doesn't feel like my club any more.

 

[boggy1959]

A bit more fight in their belly would be a start.
As for Wilder,I've been expecting it for a few weeks now.
Walsall was worse for me

 

[robbiez666]

I suspect today, given the short notice, will be much of the same in terms of team and system.

Goung forward, I'd like to see us compete and have a go. Try a few different things. There will undoubtedly be a few thinks up AK's sleeve which CW didn't like.

 

[McGrath]

I'd like to see us try to win at least a point. Get a fighting draw somewhere with a fluke last minute VAR decision.

Apart from that, I'd just accept not being utterly humiliated every game.

 

[JackSUFC]

Agreed. If they’re not going to be with us next season don’t play them. Give some of the youngsters minutes off the bench too and tell them to go out with no fear.

Either that or play Jack Rodwell for a laugh.

 

[Rodley]

Back two of Bryan and Ampadu

 

[blade_ben]

I just wanna see some effort and desire from the players. All these messages from players to CW are pissing me off when their lack of any fucks has resulted in this

 

[Yogi]

A continued level of effort from the players indicating tools haven’t been downed. John Lundstram in the stands and if I’m being greedy maybe some flashes of promise from a couple of the young lads.

 

[blade_ben]

Lundstram out, Zak Brunt in
