Fuming ..

[Drunk blade]

Proper treck to Blackburn to watch that shit today... Delighted for Brewster getting his first goal but other than that we were completely dog shit, absolutely terrible and just an embarrassing team to follow.. Hate to say it but Slav needs to go

 

[Barney]

He has a team of Wilder players barring a few. That said, he's not been close to getting the best out of them with his team selection and not realising that we don't have the quality of players for the system he's trying to play

 

[alcoblade]

The players aren’t good enough, so change of manager won’t do much. That said, he’s very one dimensional. We simply aren’t good enough to play his style.

 

[Davalon]

If our strikers could finish we'd have 4 more points this week.

That suggests that it's not as simple as saying we can't play the system.

Some of the weaknesses are coming from players who've proved they can do the same things better previously.

 

[Chingo]

Change the manager we have the same players and keep going backwards , plus Slavs compo takes any cash we might have in the next couple of transfer windows !
The players are not as good as they , us , Slav and the prince thought they were before the season started , let’s hope we can move some of this crap out because I can’t see who’s gonna want them !

sacking Slav solves nothing !

 

[metalblade]

These players came to the club to play 3-5-2 the young kids play 3-5-2 and have done for the last five years why does Slav think they can suddenly switch to 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 ?????
It will take time to change them but that time is running out maybe he needs to play them in a system where they are most happy and familiar. Results now are becoming ALL important because I wouldn't back this load of cowards in a relegation scrap.

When my boss asks me to do something new at work, he trains me, gives me the tools, then expects me to get on with it.

That's nice. He probably thinks that when you are on £20,000 plus per week you have half a clue what is acceptable. Bogle, Egan, Stevens and Baldock have played the majority of their professional football in a 4. It's not the formation it's the total lack of commitment that's the problem

 

[shrubbery]

I can accept wanting to change formation and sticking with a 442 if he thinks that it will be better for us long term. I can accept subs that don’t always come off. I can accept not bossing the league like many thought we might. I can’t accept his complete inability to motivate the team and get anything near to the best from ANY of the players. This is the worst that every single player in the squad has played for united. Not one of them has improved since he has taken over.

 

[Kenilworth]

Trust the process


(if the players are not good enough then no amount of process is going to work - so why persevere with the fecker with this lot? Find a fucking option that will get points on the board - otherwise you’re going to find it fucking harder to trust the fucking process in fucking league 1)

Not sure how you got my salary details but please don't repeat it on here.....

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Most of these players are good enough. The problem is they're punch drunk from losing every week in the prem last season and being completely unmotivated this season which is 100% Slav's fault. Get rid of this boring monotone manager and you'd see an overnight improvement

Every manager who has known success has their qualities. Slav doesn't have Wilder's rappore with fans, he isn't one of our own as such but his record shows he knows how to get teams up.

We all know managers carry the can ultimately for poor results but I can't judge him till I've seen a couple of transfer windows. If he gets them of course.

Having said that, there's no desire passion or work rate, thats what worries me. Also the fact I cant see it getting any better.

 

[AnstonBlade1]

It’s the end of the road for a lot of players at this club, been great servants etc, but it’s time for a complete refresh, it’s all gone very stale.
Players are happy to just pick a wage up now.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

I'm sure the players want to win and don't like losing.

But when you have lost for the umpteenth time after yet another poor performance, the disappointment and frustration must diminish more and more until it becomes pretty negligible.

As far as I can see only Billy & Bash would run through walls for the club. Slav needs to install some pride and some fucking grit. If he can't, he needs to toddle off somewhere else where his skills are appropriate to the challenge.

 

[Mumbo]

It’s much more fundamental than the nuances of formation.
It’s about halfhearted challenges,not tracking back,no communication,no commitment,no drive,no ideas,no confidence and my mum in goal.
We’ve got 2 cardboard cutouts in midfield and shop dummies in defence.
Being overtaken by Wednesday was unthinkable 2 years ago but I must admit it’s crept into my thoughts with the way we are playing.

I think the players want him out, and are not playing for him..

It's that simple.....

 

[ancientblade]

said it before on this forum these players are not playing for this manager players performances can get managers the sack

 

[PaulHalfway]

We are a team that is just going through the motions, on fabulous salaries, very wealthy chaps who are now burned out and have lost all the hunger and desire.
CW has left us with a load of really poor players who are now struggling in the Championship and looks like it’s going to be a challenge just to stay in this division this year.
Until all the contracts run out this is where we are, just need to make sure we don’t get relegated so we can red build with younger, fitter more hungry players over the next two years

 

[Wards]

If a footballer can’t adapt to a new system then he simply shouldn’t be a footballer. It’s a pathetic excuse. They’re simply not arsed/not good enough.

Let’s stop letting these wankstains off with a free pass. They’ve robbed the club and the fans blind for the best part of two seasons now. I actively dislike a lot of them.

 

[TJB.]

The sad thing is I had a really good day...until the football came about.

We got ourselves into a good position with an early goal and you got the feeling that we could have had a couple more if we'd kept up our play from the start of the game.

We didn't. We invited unnecessary pressure onto ourselves and allowed a very average team back into the game. I don't mind losing to sides who are clearly better than us. I do mind losing to teams who aren't anything special, especially when we were in a winning position.

4,700 Blades deserved better yesterday. The gaffer and players should be thankful that the disappointment didn't turn ugly.

Agree with this. "They were always this bad, it was just they system" just isn't true. They now lack any sort of tactical discipline or resilience. Putting that extra defensive rotation in to plug gaps is about being switched on and aware of your responsibilities. The senior players in this team are doing nothing to help the team defend collectively.

100% agree! All this bill shit of “well they’ve been playing this way for 5 years under wilder it’s all they know”
Bollocks they can play anyway the manager tells them to, they’re just not arsed anymore, just happy to pick there wages up.

They’re professional football players. They will have played in many different formations throughout their careers. It’s not as though they’re suddenly being asked to play completely different positions such as defenders playing up front.

It wasn’t too long ago that the problem was that we hadn’t changed the formation.

 

[Davalon]

I'm starting to believe this club is backward to the core.

People can't cope with change and they certainly can't cope with foreign involvement.

I'm sure some will be much happier with a good old Yorkshire name like Heckingbottom in charge.

Sack Slav and replace him with who? No other manager will make a very poor squad any better,most of them are past their sell-by date for this division.

 

[metalblade]

I'm not saying 3-5-2 is the answer but this team is mostly Wilder's team which did play 3-5-2 until it became 2nd nature to them. The trouble is we don't have three good CB's because we never did replaced JOC. The wing backs have gone to shit too especially Stevens, both him and Baldock look worse as full backs in a back four. We have no options in midfield Fleck, Norwood and perm any from Osborn, Freeman are lightweight you really have to have five in midfield to give them a chance 4-2-3-1 is doing nothing for a squad short of defenders and midfielders but overloaded with so called strikers.
The squad is a load of crap but we are not playing to their strengths, what we are doing is playing two utter crap holding midfielders to try to stiffen up a very shaky defence that isn't up to playing as a back four. On top of all that we are asking two strikers to play as wide midfielders in a three to support a lone striker who can't run more than 60mins or a 36yr old who never was blessed with lightning pace. Square pegs in round holes throughout the team Slav surely can come up with a system better suited to the players we have even if it is 3-5-2 played at a faster pace than what we suffered in Wilder's last season in charge.

Yep. That’s it. We’re all backward and want nowt but yarkshire grit.


Racist blades. That’s why we’re shite. That’s why the utterly shit 30 players in the squad can’t work with a forrin coach . They can’t understand him and neither can the fans .

“People” is a sly slur against anyone who has a slightly different opinion to yours. The elitism in your comments are laughable. You’re so much better than the rest of us “people”

But Slav is untouchable in all this shit show

I’ll tell you who could do a better job with this squad, at this time.
Steve Cooper
Michael Flynn
Mark Robins
Valerian Ismael
Frankie McAvoy
Neil Critchley
All could organise this squad to do more than it is currently achieving.

Not one Yorkshireman in that list.

But you sound so entitled now. You’ve moved on from ridiculing people who question Slav’s capabilities to get a tune out of this squad to ridiculing people for being against change and being against foreign involvement, as if that’s the common standard that all success is measured by.

Yes, I do think that Heckingbottom would have more points on the board if he had been in charge. Is that a long term strategy? Absolutely not. Is Slav a good idea? Possibly - but he needs different players to play the system he prefers. Thing is he has to work in the here and now and if he continues to fuck up to this extent there is absolutely no way he’ll get a chance to sort it in League 1 - because of nothing changes, that is the way we are heading. In fact I have no confidence this board will be effective in backing him to make the required changes in January. And it’s not a Yorkshire board, is it?

I get the distinct impression that you subscribe to the view of “Trust the process” that Slav has posited.
The trouble with that is if you are also of the opinion that the players are not good enough, because they were all CW signings and are by association shit as shit can be then no amount of process is going to work - so why persevere with the fecker with this lot? Find a fucking option that will get points on the board - otherwise you’re going to find it fucking harder to trust the fucking process in fucking league 1.
