Delusional ******** as usual from a cultist
or just trolling?
In his previous three SUFC seasons started in the championsship aka division 2
WILDER HAS TOPPED the division at some stage
(I HOPE HE DOES THIS
But there is NO WAY I can see this happening)
We finsihed midtable first season
Second season when we faltered but Leeds faltered more
WE finished second and he is to be commended for that
Driven there of course by the goals of Billy Sharp
who he DROPPED the previous season after being top with him in the side scoring
and was OUT of the team the opening day of this second season
only regaining his place as Leon Clarke was injured
He become undroppable after scoring goal after goal
(but was 'rested')
including against our promotion companions
ie FOUR against Villa
THREE against Norwich
WE LOST NONE OF THOSE FOUR KEY GAMES
(An aside but he (Sharp) and Duffy who he rowed with were the TWO players Wilder tried to replace with a series of club transfer record signings!)
The third season - despite losing key player Bogle and others who could not wait to leave him
We STILL had by far the BEST team and WOULD have been champions if Wilder had not totally changed
his approach
He has abandoned the values he learned as a player and implemented previously
The games have been tedious and boring
(totally draining when you are watching as a fan
seeing your team ripped wide open down both wings
and waiting for what seem the inevitable goals against)
Results have largely been achieved DESPITE Wilder rather than because of him
on the basis he had quality players
Often the match winners despite the 'tactics'
ie top inherited transfer signings like Anel Souza and Harmer
and academy produced Seriki Peck Arblaster Brooks
despite driving out others that starred for us with those same academy players
but never giving the chance that he did give to far inferior Hackford
He bottled the League - but that time others did not
Beating us without fail as a result of his imbecilic tactics
(FOUR times out of four fixtures)
He failed in the playoffs when similarly he played opponents that were so poor defensively
IF he had played his best players and formation
THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN WON BY HALF-TIME
and I do not mean by two goals up as it should and would have been without VAR
(SIX defeats in 7 fixtures)
So lets move on to last season, when he did not start in charge.
We lost the first five games - primarily at Middlesboro as McCallum shot over the bar in the last actual minute of the game from two yards out
(That COULD have been a turning point for Selles
but WOULD NOT if he had not abandoned the same imbecilic tactics that Wilder now also employs)
BUT we were only FOUR points down from Wilders equivalent games the previous season
ie 88 points to be 'expected' from the subsequent games and the autos
But yes THREE keyplayers had gone.
He STILL had TWO of the BEST attackers in the Division and yet somehow he is to be commended
'for saving us from relegation'!
WTF
We did NOT get in the playoffs because he basically NEVER played these TWO STARS in their correct/best for team positions
following these new demented tactics instead
(Aside YOU generic claim we also had a further top player OHare
who I consider our BEST EVER TRANSFER SALE surpassing Birchenall and Sabella who ironically we could have actually got more for from Sunderland than his preferred Leeds
PLUS others like Bamford
Hardly a relegation squad in THE WORSE EVER second division)
A RELEGATION SEASON LOL
We had a patch where we were AGAIN JOINT TOP
with badly starting but automatically promoted Ipswich in the form table
OVER A PERIOD OF TWENTY GAMES
getting 38 points
similar to his failed FIRST season at the start where as I say we were top
We fell alway again
AGAIN I say due to Wilder but MUCH MUCH MORE so
In the latter stages our isolated wins were largely DESPITE Wilder not because of him
and as this season a bit of luck
eg Fluke opening goal at Watford
eg goal ruled out from corner for QPR for unknown reason
eg 10 men v a very mediocre Hull
This season we have played 6 games
We have NOT been the better team in ONE
We have been OUTPLAYED by THREE relegation favourites
CARDIFF
BOLTON
BLACKBURN
Admittedly with two away
and largely decreasing amounts of their domination
after the slaughter at Cardiff.
I keep seeing third mentioned
I am avoiding some news as I have not watched at least the last three game highlights on ITV
I hope we are third in the league still
(but checking above see we are not?)
We need as many points as we can get - no matter HOW we get them
including lucky, generally outplayed or FA interventions re illegal opponent practices
But the fact is the manager is STILL employing the same imbecility
eg FAVOURITES such as Choudhury
Is there ANYBODY who agrees Choudhury can play fullback?
Is there ANYBODY who agrees Donovan our best attacking player ATM
should be WASTED deployed to cover for Chouldhury;s inabilities at fullback?
etc etc etc
We have been outplayed as any sane person can see
The stats show we have
CREATED LESS than the rest of the division
CONCEDED MORE chances than the rest of the division
https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/p...ld-united-problem-under-chris-wilder/#threads
All with 'no signings'
Well apart from the £10 million centre forward that Wilder signed and says is an integral part of our future
Our most expensive ever Division 2 signing by a mile as far as I remember (Egan £4 million)
Apart from our most expensive ever 'defender' £8 million who Wilder similar thinks
is a KEY signing and integral to our future hence made him captain on his return
and has NEVER been dropped even after being sent off.
(Aside although Selles said he was 'the one we wanted' I do NOT believe
Tanganga McGuiness Chong Ings Mee were all done WITHOUT the agreement of Wilder
if not his recommendation
who as usual was scheming to take over a cushy job behind the current managers back as he did with Warnock at Boro and Hecky again here
I actually said openly that they were Wilder signings and that I could not understand them
- NOT the much maligned AI -
before he actually came back!)
We also have much to my surprize top players Seriki Peck Campbell who I picked as in our best team at the end of the season
and the half a dozen ex international players probably on the 40K a week Choudhury was on !!!
We have a TOP 6 WAGE BUDGET
WILDER alone has chosen the players
HE HAS HAD THE BUDGET and the squad IS DOWN TO HIM ALONE
(and of course who is desperate or daft enough to sign for him
and not just optimistic that he will soon be out the door)
If you missed the name and you'd just heard Wilders description
you'd think we had signed Messi or Ronaldo rather than Ayew!
(ASIDE - anybody heard if Ronaldo WOULD be interested in player manager on Wilders salary?
He could only be BETTER than this demented incarnation of Wilder of the last 3 plus years)
And according to things I've read Wilder is still looking to add - as throughout last season
Wilder has NO excuses to any sane person
Other teams outside the relegated clubs did NOT have stars like Brooks and Hamer to lose
MOST WOULD DIE for a budget like he has.
WE CANNOT KEEP BEING THIS LUCKY
Surely?
Or play half the games against relegation favourites
A 33% win rate KEEPS us UP
NOT TAKES US UP!
And Wilder has a history of his teams failing as the season goes on at this level
Even at teams like Boro I believe
We have played one team I tipped for the playoffs
On the basis they signed top player Brooks
and the expectation THEY would have to sense to play him central or wide on the left
We lost
We have played one team I tipped for the extended playoffs
On the basis they will spend money not sell and the manager will be replaced if he does not achieve that
We drew at home
From the few things I have seen their manager could be soon in trouble
On Sunday we play the team I basically guessed would finish second on the basis of relegated
and signings
DESPITE changing manager to an unknown
If that 18 year old plays left side attacker against Choudhury (RB) and Tanganaga (RCB) he will quite easily
DESTROY BOTH
and in that event it is difficult to see us do anything but lose
with these imbecilic selections, formations and tactics
Leaving us with 9 points from 7 games
and after 10 games people START to take stock
Although we will no doubt hear the excuses
It's a 'new' team
They need time to gell
They even need 'time to get fit after 10 leagues games FFS
Remember. These elderly expensive unfit players were brought in LATE
because 'they can handle the pressure of needing to WIN games'
Hopefully still in the Cup though regardless of Wilder!
he's part of the team no?
