If this doesn't show why we need to keep Hamer i don't know what will, he's everywhere

If this doesn’t show why wilder isn’t the answer I don’t know what will….

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

If this doesn’t show why wilder isn’t the answer I don’t know what will….

Hard to disagree, third game in a row we've completely crumbled in the second half, not that we had a particularly good first half

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

The best comment make about this performance is that the starting 11 picks itself for Saturday

Which is a big problem for us this season

Hope we do play Saturday cos we will defo lose on Sunday.

BTW rubbish tonite.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Meh.

Wilder always takes the option of quietly exiting this competition.

He played a weak team against Wrexham but we got away with it.

It clearly didn't work tonight.

 

[RWE]

Even though it’s a bit of a throw away game (especially this season) it’s embarrassing as a performance when we’ve taken 5k. Might be the reserves but we don’t have much of a game plan and looks like square pegs in round holes to me.

 

[Vintage Shirt]

You should put a bunch of league one fucking dingles to death. Fucking cocks.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Brooks final ball is shocking.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Wilder is a coward. Sooner he fucks off out the back door again the better

 

[Bobby b]

Brooke's has looked lively but his final ball and decision making has let him down

 

[Jan Age]

Hard to disagree, third game in a row we've completely crumbled in the second half, not that we had a particularly good first half

By the end of his first spell I had stopped enjoying us …

It was never the answer to bring him back

And now we are starting to look like a carbon copy of the end of his first spell no matter what team we put out

 

[Blade56]

Another Wilder tactics master class

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

fucking shit

 

[Grizzly blade]

Oh well.
That was wank

 

[Champagneblade]

Appalling result .

To make 11 changes when you’ve had 5,000 travel is plain daft.

This sort of thing seldom works.

Got what we deserved and another chance of a cup run pissed away.

That’s a massive slap in the face for those that made the journey and the lack of depth in certain areas is a major concern.

 

[Shadota]

That 2nd half was an absolute fucking disgrace.

Pathetic, spineless performance, coupled with uninspired substitutions, which were nothing more than an exercise in squad rotation.

We'd better play fucking well on Sunday, because my patience after that is quickly disappearing.

 

[jono_t2000]

Meh just the pointless cup.

Only thing shows is that the kids are nowhere near ready for 1st team football.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

100 minutes of football and they cant score against Barnsley.

Wilder unmotivated.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Where the fuck is Brewster? I swear he runs behind defenders to purposefully cut off the lines to pass to him, he looks scared shitless to touch the ball

The last player I've seen have such poor positional play was Luton Shelton who had all the pace in the world and always felt there was a player in there, but was always stood in wrong places and making the wrong runs

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

If I was Peck, I'd immediately start on some shooting practice. Woeful.

 

[BrisBlade]

There's a lot of reactionary bile on here for a League Cup match. Wilder out based on the second string losing to Barnsley? Do me a favour!

 

[SUFCinks]

Sachdev looked great. Everyone else should be ashamed of that.

 

[Chief]

Pretty awful and a shame it's Barnsley but otherwise who really gives a shit?

Second string team in the early rounds of a cup we won't win. Means very little and it'll have been forgotten about within a week. Chill out.

 

[moody1889]

If we don't keep Hamer then it is goodnight Vienna.

Absolutely pathetic from start to finish and the worrying thing for me is we didn't try and change it up.

We kept trying to walk the ball into the net, we could not hit a cows arse with a banjo.

And if we don't sign a couple of Strikers I genuinely fear for us that absolutely awful to watch.

 

[Paul1963]

Players in midfield had the ball and none of the forwards made a run behind,they just stood at the side of their defenders

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

I wonder if Wilder actually understands this new system (that every other club seems to be playing)

Be hard to go back to his bag with the players he's brought in.

 

[Super Furry Blades]

There's a lot of reactionary bile on here for a League Cup match. Wilder out based on the second string losing to Barnsley? Do me a favour!

He should have put a team out capable of winning the game , is that too much to ask for ????
I take it your sat at home !

 

[Bobby b]

Got what we deserved, we never really looked like scoring, every year we do this, we make wholesale changes and it's disjointed, players don't link or combine well and we end up going out, what's the fucking point, the manager learns nothing the players learn nothing and a revenue stream disappears, why can't we play 75% first teamers to 25% youngsters, we would learn more about the fringe players when they have better players with them.
Now we're out of this cup we might as well release coulibaly and save his wages because I've got a better chance of turning out for the first team, I don't see why he plays.

 

[Hackey Blade]

Pretty awful and a shame it's Barnsley but otherwise who really gives a shit?

Second string team in the early rounds of a cup we won't win. Means very little and it'll have been forgotten about within a week. Chill out.

i’d say there was at least 5k what gave a shit

 

[Shadota]

There's a lot of reactionary bile on here for a League Cup match. Wilder out based on the second string losing to Barnsley? Do me a favour!

The last 2 league games, we've had the game get away from us in the 2nd half, rather than being aggressive and pushing on for a result.

Despite a completely changed side tonight, we've seen the exact same scenario. That is not a problem that can be laid at the feet of those on the pitch. That's a coaching issue.

I'm not saying we need rid of Wilder now. That would be highly reactionary, and fuelled entirely on the frustration of an abject performance. But it's starting to look like a trend, and if it's one that continues on for too long, ol' Tufty might well be heading for another severance package
