not good enough. defending a problem again. we had to win these next 2 games. with the end of the year we have.

considering they had no win since 29th August & no win in the 11. performance just isnt good enough. donavon & ayew the only 1 with any credit offensively

the question is when we play like that making hard work of preston. losing to charlton. what hope do we have v Southampton, West Ham, boro. millwall & WBA away,

 

[Mendi]

Awful

 

[Borbokisfreekick]

Ok weve lost but even in the games we're winning i cant see any pattern or tactics, its just booting it forward and hoping we get a breakthrough or lucky bounce, its all so bitty

It’s been the same style since Wilder returned in 2024.

It’s clear the 2016-2020 years were a perfect storm of some top players (credit to Wilder on the recruitment during that time) and us stumbling on a system and way of playing that suited the players.

the past 2-3 years have been abysmal - both in recruitment and style of play. What we’re seeing now is like watching the Warnock years only with players who aren’t capable of even doing that. The football we’re playing is no more advanced than 20-25 years ago watching United, even though the rest of the footballing world has evolved a little and moved on.

It baffles me how Wilder who over saw the 2016-2020 period - where we had innovative ways of playing, some outstanding movement and attacking play, some real energy in how we pressed, we were clever from set pieces, we’d suffocate teams both in and out of possession etc…..is also the same manager that is over seeing this utter dross.

You can't spell a simple word like stretchered and I'm an idiot.

If you fancy an intellectual debate anytime give me a shout, but learn how to speak your native language first so I don't have to waste my valuable time trying to interpret what you've written

I knew it was spelt wrong( or spelled depending on your preference) but couldn't be bothered to change it, because it doesn't really matter you moron.

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Looked as though we thought we could win by playing in 2nd gear. You have to match the other teams commitment first, then let our match winners step up. We didn't leave it all out there..so no more train rides to the games. Up early and on the coach with no bog if that's what you leave out there. I've calmed down now but we are what we are, just think of the meltdowns at Burnley, Southampton, Boro, Wet spam.

 

[ancientblade]

awful performance right back to square one no chance of playoffs

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Sheffield United are Like a beautiful woman who takes you to her bedroom, Then shuts the door in your face.

Except it wasn’t my face she hit

 

[Blademan89]

Apart from pecks last minute shot and our first shot in opening 5 mins did we even thresten or look like scoring at all (goal aside).

Pathetic and we knew all about bindons struggles vs quick strikers or physical ones and we play the slowest strike force in top 3 leagues.

I don’t think there was any lack of commitment. We scrapped and battled too. We needed less of the up and at ‘em and more control. The good teams pass around the scrappers. We don’t have the players to do that unfortunately. We sold them.

Does it make any difference! Playing with this shite Wilders assembled ffs!

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

He should never have come on. Didn’t look right from the get-go.

 

[Blademan89]

We was outfought and out played. You could have selected rabdom 11 united fans today start today's game and everyone of them will have given more fight and desire. Some will have been fitter and faster as well.

Another game and another goal where the player is unmarked. Its same goals over and over again, down wing cross ball falls to a unmarked player goal & repeat.

 

[ancientblade]

plus absolutely nothing up front definetly need another striker in january

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Losing to Charlton, barely held on vs Preston, drew to 10 man Derby, lost to Portsmouth. We may have climbed the table a bit since last international break, but i don't see any improvement in the team, we've just had the easiest run of the season

Derby beat Bolton, Preston beat Southampton, Blackburn beat West Ham and Watford drew with Boro.
That tells me anybody can have shit results in this league, I just wonder if their fans have a meltdown every time they lose a game they are expected to win.

Is that a guess or have you heard that?

It was confirmed during praise or grumble pal wilder said it

That's not good - I tend not to do praise or grumble these days it, it's wound me up for years.

 

[bakeblade]

They haven't been in it much this half. We should have stepped it up this half as they were there for the taking. They only deserved it because we can't defend.

Not how I saw it. We settled for a point with 30 to go, they didn't and looked fitter and more determined.
Once the inevitable happened we came to life again.

I thought Burrows made it to easy for the cross, We've got to close down quicker not retreat off your man. Agree with the poor marking yet again!

 

[Paris_Blade]

I see people critical of the starting 11, I think you're forgetting who we're playing. Charlton would take most of our players happily. It was far from our best team but wilder has to be getting more from them.

We somehow have a majority of players comprising how they play to be a square peg in a round hole. I'd have said this for any game we won this season

And a different manager/ recruitment team

Agreed, probably lost a few too many headers but excluding Chong I think every player went in to challenges with conviction. When we did win the ball we just had no plan. If there's a stat to highlight line breaking passes my bet would be a total of 1 all game

 

[Paris_Blade]

You could put a top prem striker in this team and you'd get mostly the same result imo, they can't shoot the ball if they don't get the service

 

[Gateford Blade]

I wasn’t critical of the starting eleven. What I am so fucked off with is their attitude and failure to basics properly. Stop the cross, compete and look as though you’re bothered.

 

[Rufus T. Firefly]

As in commitment, I don't only mean challenging but the running off the ball, barking orders at those not doing the basics. A couple of times our lads played for a soft free kick and got nothing, rightly so. After last seasons game at the Valley we should have been revved up for this one.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

A mixed bag of individual performances in a game that could have gone either way.

 

[Aganarama]

The second half tactic of pumping it to their number 12 did my head in (and the bloke in front of me!). He won everything.

 

[Bertie Mee]

Well we need to do something up top. Look at the amount of crosses that Donovan put in today some quality ones at that. Not one was converted. There was at least two occasions that nobody was there at all…

Of the two of us I'm picking your the one with severe learning difficulties.
Good luck
