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.

Replace him with anyone who can motivate the players, they are clearly not putting the effort in and they don't seem to care less when we lose.

Warnock would be a much better option than Slav

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.

The problem is, If your strikers can’t hit the target, then playing a style that relies on out scoring the opposition isn’t going anywhere.

We have a midfield and two defenders that have been going through the motions for a season and half.....clearout needed.

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

This sums it up very well.
I suppose he gets the January transfer window to try and balance up the squad, but a better manager would have these players in the top half

He's already been backed almost as much as the previous manager was in two Championship seasons. Five big names on massive wages at this level. Our recruitment method is a whole other debate: the Prince and Wilder where butting heads over recruitment for years. Ok, so now they're in control impressed. That's the only defence of Slav I can think of: he's not in charge of recruitment, so it's not his fault we've wasted a shit ton of money on crap. Slav's telling people that he needs two wingers and a defensive mid to make his system work - at the end of October! He then ridicules the people who question whether he should change the shape; if only temporarily to suit the players he has, rather than the players he dreams he's got , or will get, in January. It's an incredible level of ineptitude and frankly laughable for a manager to use this line of argument.

Well. Exactly.

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

Most of the players might’ve been good enough once upon a time but most are no longer good enough or at least hungry enough to be a good championship player for our great club.

No manager in the world sorts this shit out easily and I include Wilder in that which he’s already proved, we need time to get rid of the piss taking twats. Lundstram has gone, he was one of them, only another 10 or so to go which can’t be done in one window.

It’s going to be a long process and patience will be needed, something Blades fans have in droves considering the shit we’ve put up with all these years.

It’s hard I know but it’s always worth it for the year or so of good times we get every now and then that keeps us coming back for more. If we ever win anything big which is a long shot I know, it will be the biggest party ever known. We can only hope.
