I think we upped our game towards the end when automatic promotion was lost. For most of the season, most people found it boring, I'd argue.
Inter weren’t given a chance to play anything else
Only a fool would take a reasonably quick striker off with 30 minutes to go in a play off final and replace him with a non striker leaving a team with just one striker up front who has no pace and therefore allows the opposition to defend 20 yards further up the pitch.
You’re right, our first half performances have often been terrific when we go at teams. My issue is that we rarely did. 1st leg vs Bristol City was even until the red card. However, we very rarely kept up the momentum. On another day, Sunderland would have gone in 3 or 4 down at HT. 2nd half performances have generally been passive.
Nice idea but not really. The fact that we’re considering options confirms his time is done surely?
Make Wilde the DofF? Really, so he can offer Brewster a new deal, re-sign McBurnie (rumour)?
Robinson didn't leave for free, we got few million and Burke in exchange (either way you look, its a bad deal still).
My mistake, I forgot that we swapped Robinson for Burke. I think that's because I try hard not to recollect Forrest "Zoolander" Gump!
I guess i must be old school, cos i thought the managers job was to control how the team plays and the coaches follow the managers instructions, with sorting coaching to match the requirements (apart from set pieces).
.
Totally understand and agree with the money (wasted) on transfers IMO also.
To quote Rocky 4...if you can change and I can change then anybody can change.
Mousset and McBurnie between them provided the high points in what is comfortably our best top flight season in recent memory. That's worth way more than £27 million.
The DoF has to have final say on the players we sign with the coach's input. This only work if the team has a style and then all signings and coaches are bought in to fit that style.
It seems strange that when Wilder returned he brought Keith Andrew in immediately. He always seemed to play a bit part on the touchline on match days, obviously we didn't see what he did in the week regarding training. Andrew left at the end of the Premier relegation season having been head hunted by Brentford as set piece coach, obviously they rate him. He wasn't replaced like for like instead United promoted internally from the youth set up. So we did have a respected person in that role did we dumb down? Clearly it hasn't worked well this last season. We seemed to get very excited regarding Gus's goal v Bristol City at home in the play off and that was via a deflection. This should be the norm and not a one off. Wilder says it's fine margins that determines outcomes, I think we missed a trick.
We need to be making a decision and cracking on with it. We’ll potentially lose out on candidates if we drag this on.
Took Chris Wilder's Boro from 22nd to 4th, just saying...
Maybe we have made a decision and he’s staying? I don’t think they’d need to confirm that.
Maybe, I don’t think they’d announce anything like that, the signings will show that (which they’re currently doing) rumoured ones anyway
Yeah, but I aint changing, so that pisses on your quote ;-)
wow when you look at that its frightening
No but the " one of are own " will
Fully agree, wilder is a good fit give him this season coming and review if its not going well in jan 2026
