What is Wrong With Wilder?

[United Aren't Back.]

Your first point is wrong, teams that do well score goals look at Leeds, Burnley last season and Coventry and Middlesbrough this season.
All were not particularly solid at the back but attacked with pace and always looked threatening going forward.
They didn't need too be that strong in defensive because they know if they did concede they are more than capable of out scoring the opposition.
Of course the Holy grail would be a tight defensive and a lightning quick free scoring attack.
Personally I think it is more important to be better in attack than defense, at the end of the day goals win games.
The triple assault season was a good example we often conceded but you knew we had goals in us, we were equally capable of scoring inside the first 10min or in the 96th minute.
Now when Wilder makes substitutions our attacking threat evaporates and we never look like scoring.

Agreed but Burnley were ultra tight defensively last season.

It was right to get rid of Hecky. In fact it should have been much earlier; he should have been shown the door after the Fulham away game.

And any normal club would have binned Wilder off too, way before the end of that season as in many ways it got worse. Probably after the Arsenal humiliation when we'd conceded 21 goals during 4 consecutive home games.

There is no changing things around without risk. I think back, for example, to when Ipswich got rid of Mick McCarthy and we had the usual "be careful what you wish for" warnings from the punditry wankerati. Sure enough, Ipswich did get relegated and spent 3 seasons in the 3rd Division but they're in a far better place now. I wonder where they'd be if they still had McCarthy boring them to death?

Of course, we had a similar experience ourselves. The trouble is there's still a hell of a lot of Blades who think that can be repeated.

Hecky should have gone after the 8 goal Newcastle defeat.

It'll be an intresting summer.

“Now is the summer of our discontent”.

If we don’t do it now, next summer Wilder will be a dead man walking. If he’s not offered a new deal the summer will all be about keeping or getting rid of him and his team. His mate int pub will start the toxic posting etc and we can forget about on field events.

Hecky should have gone after the 8 goal Newcastle defeat.

That game shouldn’t have been played in the first place after what had just happened within the club.
