[Innuendoandouttheother]

We all want to see the team win. It just isn't good enough from Wilder. The narrative around recruitment and player culture, the stubbornness and the negative tactics are detrimental to the progression of this club.

Without Michael Cooper in goal tonight, we would be down by a few more. Yes we have shown some fight in a game in which a player was harshly double yellow carded, which is a welcome improvement, but with this set of players, we should be doing significantly better overall - refereeing decisions or not. We have a disconnect from the top down, that is clear. All teams go through a lull and a decline, but I feel ours could've been been much better managed by footballing decisions, nevermind the board. I'll keep supporting the team as always, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect better.

We were sat on our own 6 yard box about 5 seconds after having decent possession. Impressive

Elaborate?

 

[Matlock Blade]

Mate of mine says Wilder is gone after tonight, I hope not. She is friends with Wilders daughter.

I hope she's right. Can't see it though, as they'd have to pay him off and pay a new manager.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

4 on target total game

I said 11vs11, showing that we were nowhere near good enough even before the red card. The stats for the total game are pathetic too

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

IIl believe it when I see it…

Not going to happen, unless he’s gonna walk. Which he won’t.

Absolutely. He’ll sit tight and wait for his cash

 

[Proper Blade]

No doubt we're a pretty average team, but I still can't see us being in a relegation scrap this season. I said 16th before the season started and I'm sticking with that.

With the squad we have, it wouldn't be the worst result in the world.

 

[YES Blade]

3 poor goals? You seen their first?

Did you not see Peck pass him the ball? Totally avoidable if Peck clears it

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

3 poor goals? You seen their first?

Poor from our perspective. Peck's poor clearance set him up for the shot.

 

[sportsmanblade]

defender need to wake up in the box kitchen and tanganga gotta mark ya man cooper dont want you in his way

 

[Chimpan-A]

Because of a ref that likes to send our players off, irrespective of the opposition committing similar fouls.

He spent the rest of the game ignoring every foul, from both sides. I counted at the very least 3 from them that were definite yellows.

And he is one arrogant get, that ref.

Mate of mine says Wilder is gone after tonight, I hope not. She is friends with Wilders daughter.

I’d be stunned. Pleasantly surprised if true, can’t see it though.. Rumours he were close to getting binned during the international break though.

Mate of mine says Wilder is gone after tonight, I hope not. She is friends with Wilders daughter.

Fingers crossed, he’s a spent force.

Absolutely agree with this

 

[vas borbokis]

That Adams should been sent off for dangerous play before he then scored.

You have 'mates' ? How?

 

[Matlock Blade]

Absolutely. He’ll sit tight and wait for his cash

If he cares about the Blades as much as he pretends, he'll realise he's not good enough and leave.

 

[coolasanidiot]

Why the fuck should he. First 25 we were the best. 2-0 down we showed loads of fight. A battling unlucky performance. The narrative shouldn’t be this.

 

[Iceybabey]

That was a good effort for this team. Inevitable though as this team can't sustain pressure.

bollox if wilders goes this team gets relegated

 

[Pintor75]

Said before ko on saturday, 2 winnable games then Bristol will be harder need 4 points from 9

 

[blades_95]

Good effort from the ten men to be fair, can’t knock them for getting back in it. But that is a very very poor side we were 1-0 down against 11 v 11, in a very low quality game.

We’ve had the super critical international break & let’s be honest, we’re still boring and lacking any cohesive plan.

 

[sportsmanblade]

i wont watch blades if we sack wilder and i imagine quite a few more wont aswell

 

[RandomBlade]

If he cares about the Blades as much as he pretends, he'll realise he's not good enough and leave.

And be replaced by who?

Clutching at straws. Wilder cost us the game.

Comedy at its best

 

[RandomBlade]

Not meaning to sound
Clutching at straws. Wilder cost us the game.

How?

 

[54yrblade]

A bonkers game.
We had moments but can't dominate a Pompey side that aren't great.
Our only consistency is inconsistency all over the field.
No identity whatsoever and our defending is dreadful.

Good to see CW over acknowledging the away support. About time too.

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

If he cares about the Blades as much as he pretends, he'll realise he's not good enough and leave.

Not a chance, he’ll wait for his payout which will be substantial now he’s signed a new contract

 

[ComedyClub]

Comedy at its best

Sometimes gallows humour helps Chris.

 

[RandomBlade]

We should be starting with pacey players. Has Wilder made an excuse yet for leaving One out? I presume he'll claim he was injured after a few minutes against Lincoln on Saturday.
