Wilder - you're a coward

[Chris the Blade]

If you can't even face up to the fans who paid good money on a Wednesday night then you're a coward. I'm seething. The club should refund them all. Absolute disgrace. Earning stupid money to perform like that. Our club is dead with this lot representing it.

 

[Wards]

It’s nothing new. Over to the fans if we win, thump the badge a few times etc. Straight down the tunnel if we lose. Can understand he’s probably pissed off, but he’s not the one that’s gone there at his own time and expense. It’s very poor form.

 

[Mario1889]

Agreed.

When things are going well he’s straight over lapping up the praise and banging on about how he’s the worlds biggest blade, when things aren’t going so well he’s straight down the tunnel and showing what he really thinks of those fans who spent good money travelling over to Fleetwood on a Wednesday night.

This is the first time I think travelling fans have all booed though.

I know he has fucked off down the tunnel a few times previously.

 

[Menage a petit pois]

I didnt boo ...never have. Never will. That said.....tonight was the closest i have been to doing so. Toothless is an under-ststement and fucking off down the tunnel at full-time is an insult to all of us who travelled. Something is rotten at this club and i fear there is a massive disconnect between fans and those who wear our shirt.

Ultimately he doesn't appear to think he's answerable to anyone, and he seems fatigued and frustrated

He isn't. Bettis and him have free rein over the club.

I've been saying for years my beloved club will get nowhere until the millstone of the Bettis/Wilder axis of power is removed
by owners with some insight into the club's rise & fall over the last 10 years and the acumen & cahunas to achieve progress.

Won’t happen though as they’ve both got the club and the local media completely wrapped up.

 

[bertieblade]

Doubt that will stop the owners making any decisions.
The problem is them making go the right one.

From the recently streamed interview I would hazard a guess that they have been taking advice from a number of guys with football experience and influence. The Chelsea owner being one

Just arrived home. Yes. There was a lot of booing at the end. Silence from me. Don't like CW disappearing down the tunnel like he does - very poor. He should know by now that milking the crowd when we win, but disappearing when we lose looks very bad

For all his failings that’s one thing you have to say Sellés didn’t do.

You have to be consistent. You can’t be badge thumping one minute then shirking off down the tunnel the next.

You also can’t be saying how WE have got to own it whilst blaming the players for not stepping up and going off plan and not owning a plan that saw us second best first half playing that fucking shite formation.

That was poor from Chris. Yes the players let the club down, but he picked them and went out and selected a formation we’re all against.

Woe betide if there isn’t some sort of performance and result at Stoke now.

Rather than 3 weeks of rejig from the manager, it will be three weeks of the fans being split on whether to pull the trigger and who to replace.

Take no pleasure in writing that but his future is heading towards a bit of a tightrope; the away following were very vocal.

Sadly, I’m inclined to agree. It must be common knowledge amongst rejected and clapped-out pro’s within the game that Wilder looks at players differently to everyone else.
If you’ve got a problem getting fit, have a niggling little injury or just addicted to Mars bars…SUFC will give you a home.
It now seems our once beloved manager has taken to running a donkey sanctuary instead of a football club.

I know you’ll always get the “but what about Messi” brigade but if we are looking to improve the club I’d be setting a minimum level of athleticism to build the team.

I’d be heavily favouring players over 6 foot. I’d be looking for players who were althletic and could move at pace.

We are very slow as a team. Apart from Seriki, maybe Donovan and McCallum, the entire squad is very slow paced.

We’re often told that you can go through, over and around.

So let’s examine. How do you go around when you don’t have pace to get down the wings? How do you go through when you tube the ball over so much and ply slow and ponderous? How do you go over when you lack pace through the team?

It sounds great but the tools aren’t there.

 

[Superblades]

Agreed.

Chris Wilder only cares about one thing - himself. He knows his time is nearly up with the fans, that’s why he was over after we won last week asking them to trust him.

 

[Superblades]

Double post.

Being a slow team is ok to a certain extent, if you can retain the ball and make accurate passes…But we can’t do any of that and our obvious lack of pace and football intelligence crucifies us.

 

[Super Furry Blades]

He did it in his first game away at BWFC
Packed away end & straight down the tunnel
I also think it was same v Charlton beginning of 3rd spell
Significant games in his SUFC career.
I dont think he understands this .....But its about thanking the fans who have given up a lot to come and support you .
Win lose or draw ...
He needs to take a leaf out billy mcewans book .

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

The walking disaster that was Selles at least stood in front of our fans away, and took it on the chin.
Wilder spouts a lot, and despite claiming to come in and out through the front door, actually scuttles off when things go badly.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

From the game at Halifax pre season to last night the issues we have have been obvious.

No change in player profile or style of play.
No change in pattern during a game when going wrong. Like for like changes all throughout the second half last night.

Why didn’t he change it up at halftime as it was clearly not working. Said at halftime they will now know they have nothing to fear from us and will go for it.

Totally predictable display. Consistent with the lack of chances created all season !

Best part of my day/evening was the micro pub in Poulton-Le-Fylde and the £4 pie and chips in Fleetwood pre match!

It’s a good job the Stoke tickets are non refundable otherwise it would be a woeful following!

I seems the new way to boo your team (without booing) is to show them your empty seat. Fucking off early is nice way to show your displeasure.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Just watched Chris's post match interview. The main point I disagree with is that we apparently controlled the first half. If we had been two up at half time I might have agreed.

Had I been doing the interview it would have gone along the lines of this.

Firstly, congratulations to Fleetwood Town, your team did you proud tonight. All the best in the next round.

To our travelling supporters tonight, my apologies, we got this one wrong. When we get back to the training ground where going to have a long hard look at ourselves and sort this out.

As painful as it is, this was only one game and we can and will do better. Thank you and goodnight.

A bad worker always blames his tools, but who put them in the toolbox to use? I know he's been dealt a bad hand in out going transfers but did it enter his head to think, right sod it I'm going to play more direct so I need players with strength and pace, big lad upfront and actually play to a system. The wages saved on journeymen who he now can't trust would have been put to better use.
