Sportsmanship from Wilder

[Darkoak]

As the players were applauding the Blades fans after full time, Wilder noticed behind them that Watford's goalkeeper was being stretchered from the field.
He ordered all the players to turn around and direct their applause towards the goalie, to which they duly obliged. Great awareness and gesture by Wilder.

Ps:- who also noticed Larouci come to the 'aid' of his goalie and twisted his leg around, causing him even greater pain?!

great to hear. i hope it would have been the same with a 95th equaliser but something about chris tells me it would have been. top man.

Well intentioned, but I think Larouci probably thought it was cramp!

Turns out he dislocated his ankle AND did his achilles- not the wisest thing to do!

Yeah, I saw that, made me wince. It was obvious on TV that it was either a tendon or bone injury but I think Larouci thought he'd got cramp and grabbed his foot and gave it a twist.

He'll probably be given a job with our Fitness and Conditioning Team after that.

I dont think Larouci (by accident) made either of those any better by what he did.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

I actually think he was fine until Larouci got involved

 

[Houston_Blade]

At least Larouci got there in time to fuck up. Imagine if Luke Thomas was on the pitch, he’d still have been dithering around now. Max Lowe would have got injured on the way to help Bachmann.

 

[Stretch]

I am ashamed to admit that I was pissing myself when Larouci did that, but I hadn't realised at that point how much pain the lad was in.

Felt a right twat once I did.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery soon.

 

[knowsnowt]

Larouci's leg attack reminded me of Uncle Susan's foreplay technique.
No wonder he's still single.

Probably where he learned it from.

Whenever I hear Wilder being interviewed or see him on the touchline, he's always nothing but respectful to other teams and their staff and players. From what I've seen he's respected by his fellow managers and staff too. Real class act.

So, what I don't get is the constant abuse he gets from opposition fans in the View Froms. Baffles me as to what he's done to upset them all.

The game was secured when Larcoui came on

Apart from singing “Sausage Roll” in a pub you mean!

Not sure having a small obsession with other teams wages and valuation is seen in the best like either?

He's not from the generation of bland, media trained managers, who say pretty much the same thing in every interview. He has an opinion, he's from up north, that's enough for a lot of fans.

Wouldn't call it "great awareness" at all...it was the absolute minimum that Wilder and the lads should have done anyway.....being ultra critical it felt a bit uncomfortable our lads being so close to their keeper whilst applauding the fans.

A lot of Wendies still rattled over 7 years on.

dont think its just Wilder

Most managers are disliked by oppo fans, especially at game time

But they will hold a begrudging respect for the job he’s doing tho

The only opposition managers I’ve liked are

D. Wilson swfc 2000 - relegated
C. Turner swfc 2003 - relegated
A. Irvine swfc 2010 - relegated
D Moore swfc 2021 - relegated

 

[dublin 10 blade]

It was only cramp till the predator got his healing hands on him
I had ankle fusion surgery few years back ( and was off work 7 months ) so all joking aside hope he makes a quick recovery

But like us at home to Man City then

Luke Thomas actually started for Leicester yesterday

It's because every other team has a fan who also thinks Wednesday are Brilliant and should be back in the Premiership.
So when anybody visits Porktalk they get that impression of Wilder because according to Porktalk Wilder is Mardy, moaning, unsportsmanlike, not classy, obsessed manager who gets under their skin.

Last few interviews he seems to have gone a bit Northern David Brent from The Office.
