[Thrice]

Team looks more dangerous after the changes, but too little too late.

 

[Jan Age]

And I’m sick and tired of using 45 minutes of a game passing back and to the side and to the back and to the side and then we find ourselves behind and have absolutely no idea what to do to get back in the game

Exactly like the last time this management team was here

 

[Keen Blade]

I'm guessing OHare will be more central(no 10) and Brewster out wide, I reckon that's Ohares favoured position so I'm expecting more from him if, that's how we line up.

Fuck what O'Hare favours , he should be on wing and Brewster central.
What's the point in having two strikers on the pitch and not playing them together ? Feckin madness. Wilder has lost the plot.

 

[Jan Age]

We certainly don’t look top 6 atm

We aren’t we are top 10 at best

 

[jt64]

18 yrs young

So why isn't he on loan at Hartlepool?

 

[Keen Blade]

O'Hare looks so timid. Completely lacks conviction.

Tiny Tim (id)

 

[sheff_blade90]

this has been disappointing. great 1st 30 mins. we looked so weak defensively down the left, never figured out how to plug that gap & attacking is now a major worry. effectively our only option upfront has 2 goals in 20 games since mid March & is making us look toothless

 

[ancientblade]

tactics abysmal yet again by wilder too slow too many square backward passing from centre backs no tempo nothing so dissapointing but once again down to the manager

 

[SUFCinks]

Apart from QPR have we played well yet this season? Another basic performance.

 

[ATL Recs]

This is what happens if you don’t have a striker

Or a midfield

 

[Keen Blade]

I wish we would shoot

Who ?
Wilder , Moore , O'Hare ?
Who ?

 

[MayorOJC]

Got to be worth trying JRS up front at this point. Only player that looks like he can get behind a defence and finish.

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

A defeat on Saturday and I can see some of the fans turning. I wasn’t getting carried away with this 9 match unbeaten run. We played some very average and very poor teams in that run. First two decent teams paints the picture of a very average, slow and one dimensional team.

 

[The Darton Blade]

Wilder out

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

You can excuse Friday Leeds are a good team. Tonight we were dog shite & we create next to nothing. It’s not even as if we’re missing anyone that usually scores goals.

We’re so short on options it’s incredible

 

[Jan Age]

Who ?
Wilder , Moore , O'Hare ?
Who ?

Any player whenever we get in a scoring position… rather than shit themselves and pass to a player in a worse position.

 

[paidsy]

This group of players don't look like they are being coached

Almost like we had nearly 6 months of football before this season to have a gut feeling that might be an issue

 

[The Fox]

Played very little football in the last 2 games , didn't deserve anything.

 

[jono_t2000]

Worst performance of the season.

Whole team and manager can hang their head un shame based on that performance.

 

[Gateford Blade]

Wilder won’t be here at Christmas at this rate

 

[bartman]

No goals in the last 3 away games....and barely looked like scoring.
We look a mid table team at the moment.

 

[Guesty]

Apart from QPR have we played well yet this season? Another basic performance.

And that was only for 20 minutes.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Wilder's derailed this team with that fuck witted team selection for Leeds game

Yep, we looked confident and at it in every game. They now have the haunted look of last season

 

[Jon Bon II]

We don't know what to do in and around the box. No one wants to take charge and either shoot or cross it in. "You have it.." 'Here you have it.' "You have it back.." etc etc etc until it either goes all the way back to the centre half or we lose it and have to chase a breakaway.

 

[Frank the tank]

That set up for Leeds has fucked us
Destroyed the layers Confidence and regressed us to last season

 

[Bell4]

Absolutely crap this performance... Too many players on the pitch that do nothing

Yup

Spot on

Moore
Arblaster
O,Hare
Brewster
Peck

All totally ineffective

 

[Blacksea]

After they figured it out we looked ragged,disorganised, fragile and non cohesive as an actual team structure,
Boro have just done what Leeds did,ran through us and overwhelmed us by overloading our midfield and defence with pace and accurate passing along with good link up play all along our back line,we had no answer on Friday,and none tonight

 

[TommoM]

Is burrows injured? Even if he is, he would still be better than RND, the amount of times he got done and left a ridiculous amount of space out wide was doing my head in

 

[SUFCinks]

And that was only for 20 minutes.

Its all very average

 

[Devils bump]

Thought before the summer signings we'd be about mid to top 10. Then after the signings thought we'd be top six. Revising back down to mid, because we we have Fek all attacking threat.
