My wife, who neither likes or cares about football, suggested the same. And also that they might not want to go up if they’re going to get thrashed every week like last time. Maybe she knows more about football than I thought 😂

Promotion bonuses are usually very high in player contracts, including loanees
 
Summary
Mentioned everyone at fault but he’s the only one not mentioned for being at fault
Sticking with system that got us here, no wrecking ball to way we play
JLT is our leader, sounds like he starts, unfortunate for Holding defence has been so good (although he kept repeating defence hasn’t been good enough, square that circle)
Rant at the end about a portion of fans faulting everything wrong with club, clubs rubbish, canteen, players blah, blah. I don’t think I’ve heard anyone criticise SUFC, quite the opposite, him yes, club no
So is “we go again” no major changes to team
And Shields was embarrassing blowing smoke up his bum for last 10mins
 
I definitely think poor Chris is either lying or has some deep underlying issues.

To say Jack Robinson has been great for us is like saying Richard Cadette was a great goalscorer for us.

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard anyone say.

There were two clear chances which should have been scored. Had either gone in we would have gone on to win.
However I agree that we do look lacking when in possession. Is that poor coaching or simply a lack of ability?

Go on, which ones were clear chances? The JRS second one and the Campbell one. Neither were that clear but they both should have hit the target.

The only clear chance was the Plymouth one.
 
So, in summary:

The fans don't know what they're talking about
Chris have done nothing wrong - It is the players
We won't do anything differently apart from being 'better'.

Put your money on Robbo being the picture on the teamsheet. He essentially says Holding won't start.

Maybe i missed it but did he get asked what were going to do differently?!Or what changes we going to make?

Definition of insanity and all that ..

I was just going to post something similar.
For three games (in CW's own words) we've been poor in both boxes resulting in 3 defeats, so what's going to change for the rest of the season?
 
He will literally never blames himself does he? Thats noticeable

Yes he did a four hour presentation on our tactics and formation for Friday and broke it down into bullet points for each individual Cardiff player

Doesn't have to do that. Everyone who seen us play knows what we're going to do.

But hey, so long as we have 70% possession we'll be reyt...
 

The 4 questions I'd like the interviewers to ask him are these

1) given Souttar was fundamental to our first half of the season why wasn't a player brought in who he thought was better than a player who was deemed not good enough for the championship 2 years ago?

2) what has Brooks done wrong such that he can't even come off the bench when we have players in the first 11 playing out wide who can't go past a man?

3) when playing against teams in the bottom 6 who employ a low block and we are playing 4 at the back why is our CDM playing between the 2 centre halves ?

4) why are we playing with just one up top when playing clubs in the bottom half...especially when that one is Cannon who can hold a ball up, doesn't run the channels and doesn't win it in the air?

Exactly those two. JRS needed to do what he is good at and place it wide of the keeper and Campbell should be at least on target from where he was and preferably across the keeper.

It wouldn't surprise me if interviewers are discouraged from asking probing questions,given his often prickly nature and the inane repetitive pap spouting from mouths of one or two holding the mic.
Sad to feel so cynical but there you have it.Don't believe a word he says anymore.

Hard to take much from an interview where all the ones asking the questions are in bed with him.

Yep - Radio Sheffield lads won’t upset him …..remember that guy Mike McCarthy - think he upset Wilder - & he’d barely speak to him. Our Chris does not like too many direct questions about his errors.
 
I just hope he's learnt from the cup game, which was one of the worst performances I've seen in a long time. I wouldn't have minded quite so much if we looked like we wanted to win, but even when losing and with some of our best players on the bench he brought on more kids. Which was obviously their fault.

Very fair questions.

I’m in the camp that I don’t want to have the upheaval of changing manager but that doesn’t absolve the manager of criticism or blind faith, like some of the Wednesday fans have for Rohl.

Agree to a certain extent but we did start at a higher tempo and were at it against Coventry. Against the other three we reverted to tip tap toe.
We struggle against limited teams as they pack the box as we do everything so bloody slowly it gives them time to organise and get their deck chairs out

At our speed , how many goals , if any , would we score in the PL ?

if you hanker after promotion and want Wilder to continue in charge , with a rusty cannon and thug robinson , how do you fancy a season with the worst ever goal difference of all time in the entire world ?

Shields sounds like a drunken cockney wanker , I can barely stand to listen to his deep voiced drivel.
The rest aren't much kop either.
Instead of sycophantic shite , where are the real questions ?
How much did your selections and substitutions contribute to this week of pure farce ?
Wtf did you buy cannon ?
Knowing he's done fuck all since arriving , wtf did you start him in a must-win at Plymouth ?
Wtf did you not get a quality Soutter replacement early in the window ?
Instead of a rusty cannon whom you've barely played ?
Wtf did you bring in Holding who was miles from match-fit ?
Or didn't you want to upset your captain thugwash ?
You talk about culture carriers - who is responsible for our culture which has brought so many FA fines this season ?

Do you find anything illogical about failing to replace Souttar when he was a great defensive leader and a calming influence for half the season ?

I give up on his interviews - the interviewers fail to challenge his ramblings , so he rambles on with lots of emotion and little sense.

Give me a call when you're free

Too nuanced to compare v Coventry. They're a totally different side to the three sides we've just faced who are all very similar (low block, limit space, few risks). We've looked pretty good in games where the opposition open up - wished someone would've asked him why we've (recently) continued to struggle against teams that are somewhat limited?
