United did play this game like there was something to play for and that was the difference between the two teams. The Golden Boys were already unfolding the deckchairs on the golden mile.

I'm usually out and about on Saturdays now (thanks wife), so I often miss most of matches at a minimum when we kick off at 3. That said, I did manage to see Bamford's 2nd goal. We pulled out the old Alan Knill set-piece playbook - we were doing that throw in routine with Baldock and Basham in the PL. It's almost comical that teams are still falling for that one. Great cross by Seriki, and a superb flick by Bamford.

Very happy that we won, even if I couldn't see most of it.

But when we lose he chucks players under the bus

And when we win, he praises them. Gosh, you're a sharp one, you are.

Is she double-locking the doors again?

Why are we not starting Faxon?

i would agree i would like to see faxon start ideally v preston. but i can understand why wilder wants to keep defensive continuity

You tell me; you seem upset enough about it to keep a tally.

I dont keep a tally but it seems like a lot

I dont keep a tally but it seems like a lot

maybe because they still have to improve a few aspects of their game to reach the top?
Or he could praise them highly and accidentally stop any further progress!
