Poor from Wilder

[Loco Blade]

Wilder's credit from past glory is quickly running out. There's no way he should be here next season, the sooner we can bring in the next manager to start preparing for next season the better.

Not happening mate cos Wilder played golf with the owner and had a pint

Unfortunately today was back to how it was last year. Awful football and hoping for a bit of Hamer magic rather than any sort of coherent game plan on how to win the match.

Until today I actually thought Wilder had got past that in his current spell with us but that was so shockingly bad I'm actually worried right now.

He's done, sadly, but brings nothing new and offers nothing but clichés and '92 points' references.

Same thought here as well pal, it was that bad I wanted to go home after60mins, but the wife said no

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Called another fan a ‘Punter’ in his post match interview. This is starting to get on my tits and I find it disrespectful to our fan base. My god, that was turgid today. How many times did we get to the final third, stop, and then go back to the halfway line? And I’m convinced that teletubbie Hamer was trying to get booked from minute one. Another one I won’t be sad to see the last of by the end of this season. What has Seriki done as well? Another class act from Wilder in depleting a young players confidence. Has Seriki had the temerity to question the dear Leaders tactics maybe? A few more performances like today and I can see the fans getting on the Managers and teams back, a total shit show from minute one.

Nobody is saying Sellés is the answer. But those of us with a brain also know Wilder isn't either.

The same brain trust that cost us this season by sacking him in the summer

It was not sacking him that created the problem, it was who we chose to replace him with

As numerous people have already said, but you’ve chosen to ignore because of your Wilder obsession, it wasn’t sacking him that was the issue, it was not getting the right replacement.

You’ll never win the true believers round.

Blades MAGA, devoted to their leader because he gets pissed with them and dances on tables.

They use the Selles failure as an example that change is never good.

Yes I fully admit he’s kept us up, as any half decent manager would have with this squad. But things could have been so much better too. Generally unfit, too many players with the heart of a pea. Our manager may well get us. But do the players? I genuinely don’t think they do. Not enough of them to make a difference anyway.

 

[andy m]

I’ve no issue with their performances? My issue sits at Hoever. He was gash, Seriki is the best RB at the club, yet he’s often benched for nothing.

Tanganga/Burrows are the best we’ve got at the moment. I’d rather a service droid from Naboo than Mcguiness.

Often FFS

The fact we have a manager who behaves like one of the coked up old boys at the back of the kop is outright embarrassing, but a portion of our fanbase seem to love it.

Completely agree there’s a number of decent managers who would have also kept us up with this squad, the issue seems to be that the owners don’t know enough about the sport to choose the right person. Hopefully they will realise that and bring in someone to make those decisions then we can start to progress as a club.

 

[blades_95]

Was obvious 20-25 minutes in how the pattern of the game was going, but we didn’t change anything. We didn’t need 5 in midfield & 2 sitting deep against a very poor WBA at home.

We then get a lucky goal against the run of play (WBA came out second half on top) and let the next 30 minutes pass without any intention of pushing for a second goal.

The lack of in game management & ability to turn a game is a big downfall of Wilder’s.

A director of football or something similar that knows the game maybe?

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I'm thinking along the same lines.
The thought of watching us pass backwards and keep stopping and doubling back when we have a chance to break just doesn't appeal to me.

Leeds, Burnley and now possibly Middlesbrough got promotion through playing quick attacking football.

One moment today just summed us up I'm sure Hoever was in their half and he passed it all the way back to Davies.

And it went out for a corner . Was it that one, that is what we made of a corner to us in first half.

 

[Missing Spark]

What we see of Wilder now is exactly what's coming again next season. There's no evidence that he can get back to the glory run that is now years behind us that he is living on and too many are sucking up.

Someone posted about the aim next time is not to get relegated and he's perfect for that.

That is not a reason for him to be allowed to cling on to what he very clearly believes is 'his' job.

Alright pig, pipe down x

Actually think some of our fans would go into meltdown if we brought in a DoF, that’s far too modern and progressive and we can’t have that.

Bang on I’m afraid. He has been in control for 31 matches and I can remember 13 of those being turgid,shocking tactics rubbish. Our supporters are like the scene in Midnight express where us non believers are going the “wrong way round “

No it wasn't that one, it was in the second half.

 

[Richeee]

Felt a bit sorry for Reidewald he kept looking for Burrows to run over the halfway line into the huge empty space there and had to keep turning inside and pass it sideways or back..presume Wilder tells Burrows not to go far from the halfway line.

This sums up the game, additionally though we need to be braver with the ball. How many times did we have the ball in thier half only to work it all the way back to Davies to pump it down the park.
Being brave with the ball is what we lack as well as being brave to kept making runs when we know we won't get the ball.

Bindon was easily our best player and he looked excellent. We'll done to him for such an amazing turnaround

 

[brownblade]

Very weirdly bad today. Probably saves us a lot of unnecessary optimism for the next few weeks though

Funnily enough I thought Davies would be the biggest barrier to us going on a mega run - but he probably came out as our best performer.

 

[brownblade]

It's performances like that which make you wonder about hiring a Ruben Selles type this summer.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Should have started Cannon and Bamford, their defence was shockingly bad so playing the lone striker was just what the doctor ordered for them.

100%

 

[John Street West Terrace]

I've seen enough of Cannon to know that he'd offer a damn sight more energy than Campbell in the starting eleven. Against that West Brom defence today, and with a few decent balls Cannon would have made an improvement to that lacklustre, one dimensional shit show. Just a pity the manager chose to set us up so negatively so now we'll never know.

Whenever he’s partnered Bamford & Cannon weve had a threat up top .. blew Stoke , Brum , Leicester & Ipswich away playing 2 up top …, but no ..we’ve reverted back to that fkg boring 4231 against a poor team .. feel sorry for Bamford ploughing a lone furrow

Last season I would have agreed with this and was personally fed with his antics, however, I do feel like Wilder is much more reserved and, dare I say, professional this season.

Personally, I’d keep Wilder for next year but out of interest, who would you replace him with? I don’t know who is available or not, so curious to see what name we think would be a good option.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Totally agree. We find it impossible to raise the game against a poorer opponent.

Had no problem against Leicester or Birmingham- both are poor teams.

 

[Champagneblade]

Nobody is saying Sellés is the answer. But those of us with a brain also know Wilder isn't either.

So who is your man to take us forward then?

We’ll be on a reduced budget and the last time Wilder wasn’t the man, well, we’d be having a conversation about League One right now without going back on that one.

So who are you backing?

By the way I was hugely disappointed with the set up and lack of changes from the bench too. We all have bad days at work. It doesn’t mean we need sacking.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

The club needs modernising and restructuring. They tried in the summer and got it painfully wrong but that doesn’t mean that it no longer needs doing. If we are to move forward as a club we need a proper DoF and a young progressive manager/ coach sat underneath that. There are plenty of good people out there that could fill these roles.

Wilder has been a busted flush for some time now and is not the same animal he was as CW mark1. His signings (including Brewster and Cannon) have been disastrous for this club and will mean we will be in financial trouble next season unless the owners have deep pockets. His mini mental breakdown in the last few months of last season filtered through to the players, embarrassed the club and cost us promotion.

You can tell by the frequency of his Trump-like ramblings that he feels the pressure and despite the arrogance and self promotion, i believe HE doesn’t truly believe in himself anymore. He is however, very clever at self preservation and has successfully networked the accountant Bettis so much that I worry his job is secure despite declining performance. This is a worry as I believe since the owners got it badly wrong in the summer they now give Bettis way too much influence and power. He’s another one that needs to leave in the summer and be replaced by a proper football administrator.

Thanks for the memories Wilder but you have long outstayed your welcome.

Strange set up against a team without a win in eleven games and who were visibly wank. We never set up to win that, we had no outlet up top and too many in midfield hadn't got either the brains to know what they were doing or the heart needed to run and tackle. One up top was a gift for them, death by a thousand passes, mostly sideways and backwards. For a team that still had play off aspirations, that was a cowardly formation. It showed how bad they were settling for the draw because had they any ambition they could have won that.

O'Hare, Sydie to a degree and Riedewald excepted, the rest were fucking dire. Tanganga, Burrows and Hoeve were appalling. Both Gus's attitude and first touch looked like he didn't care and Brooks just kept running into his man.

I've been saying for weeks/months that this is a mid table, top end Championship outfit and apart from the money, the thought of us performing like that in the Premier League leaves me cold.

Difficult to fathom yesterday. Either the likes of Hamer are overtrained and thus heavy legged on match days or simply not fit enough. To be fair to the lad he’s not built to be a whippet, his skills, abilities and intelligence are what make him an extremely gifted player.

 

[cahill]

What is Seriki alleged to have done that’s upset the Great Leader ?
