Ten years ago today

August 6th 2016, Chris Wilder's first League match in charge ended in disappointment and a one nil defeat. It wasn't an awful game for us but there were few signs that we were going to get 100 points that season. Wilder quickly realised that Chris Hussey wasn't up to it. My highlight of the day was seeing Kirk from Coronation Street in the nearby Cinema after the game!

Thought it were a mistake appointing Wilder after this and the 0-3 in 20 mins at home against Sarfend... why you shun't trust numpties on football forums part 294832929440!

The next 4 years were glorious

I’d nearly forgotten about The Beard our marquee signing

My abiding memory is he didn't thank the thousands who travelled.....
A theme that seems to continue unless we win

I've always wondered if he'd have been a brilliant overlapping RCB.

If he'd have been tested there, we may never have seen Basham there. Basham's career could have been very very different. More league one, less premier league SUFC POTY awards!

"Dad, what was that first Wilder team like with O'Connell, Basham and Sharp?".
