All those who didnt want Wilder back

[Montymagic]

Remember when they were moaning about how chansiri had put the local businesses and staff into financial trouble..


Yeah....
Shit sticks to shit doesn't it, who cares as we get lots of money for us !!! Sod the others.

I was one who was happy for a change in the summer, then I was equally pleased when he came back! Then went to not sure if it was the right decision to bring him back after early performances didn’t change from last season.
But this last month or so he has really turned it round and I’m delighted, we’re playing better football than we ever did last year, the players have that belief and everything they’re doing is much faster, sharper and instinctive, full credit to CW and the coaching staff

 

[biggiesablade]

I wasn't over the moon to have him back. I thought he had lost a bit of his bottle. We seemed to settle with one nil wins that we honestly scraped by with. I think the shite start to season helped him to lose the shackles and say "fuck it lads, get out there and smash some fuckers" i can't remember a period of sustained pressing like this before from him, long may it continue!

 

[YES Blade]

I agree re end of season

But the morale and team cohesion was so fucked it’s a bit harsh to include the first few games, he was working out partnerships, formation and bringing in JR & PB

Not his biggest fan but can’t fault his work so far

I get the Selles hangover that needed to be gotten over but he was still working with the majority of last season’s squad for those early losses. That doesn’t give Wilder a complete free pass in my view.

Like I’ve said I’m happy with the amazing current form, long may it continue!

 

[YES Blade]

For somebody who was trying very very hard to see positives that didn't exist in the summer, you've had a bit of a transformation.

13 goals in the last 4 games. Beating Leicester and Stoke in the last two, think we can get behind a run like that. Maybe even be optimistic.

When did I say I’m not optimistic? I think like everyone else I’m starting to look more at the top half of the table than what’s below.

We just haven’t done anything yet, a few bad results and we’ll be looking over our shoulder again. The humble pie needs to be saved for the end of the season.

 

[Torrix1889]

I didn't want him back the first time, let alone the second and I still think the club needs to move forward. We finish top 10, then what? Sack him again and try something different?

We have beaten 2 very poor sides in Wednesday and Portsmouth and out of form Leicester and Stoke. Don't get me wrong, Im enjoying it but im also not getting carried away just yet.

Keep it up CWAK.

 

[Kenilworth]

Have no idea what this fuckwit has posted but how have you not got this knob on ignore?

I like different opinions. Then I tell em what’s reyt

Just hope that sitwell comes back into the fold as I allus like his straight talking, horse shit identifying, slapdowns to those types of clowns.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Everyone knew 4-4-2 was the right formation with Tanganga at CB.

Finally it dawned on Wilder too. and guess what, he changed it, and we start playing well and winning.

It’s involved a bit more that that, to be fair.

Yes, the change of shape and the form of individual players/partnerships has allowed us to be much more dynamic and dangerous when in possession, especially through those central areas that we’d largely given up on when attacking.

But we’re also transformed when we don’t have the ball. We have a consistently high, energetic and co-ordinated press. We play with bite and aggression when winning the ball back. We are first to second balls and breakdowns. We defend space really well in all three thirds of the pitch. And players willingly run their blood to water, without the ball as well as with it. Yesterday, we did all of that for the full 97 minutes.

Among other things, that’s about effective coaching, clear messaging, players buying into a method, a shared insistence on high standards, canny use of subs to keep energy levels up during key phases of play, and better fitness.

It’s taken a lot more than something everyone knew finally dawning on Wilder.

However much people want to make every post about themselves, it's really not. It's a place to discuss football and life with a lot less of a filter than normal life and a lot less madness than Twitter.

I would advise people to not take it so personally, not spend the majority of their time getting angry that not everyone thinks like them and understand thst it's a game that we are all passionate about but express that in different ways. I've become wrapped up in arguments on here before. It's not fun.

If you don't think people should have gallows humour when the team is doing poorly, avoid it

If you think giving full support to someone regardless of the circumstances is weird, avoid it.

I've been as guilty of biting as anyone in the past, I've never had a good conversation come out of it.

Wilder drives strong opinions in almost all of us. It's just extremely frustrating that both sides of the 'argument' pounce on any up or down tick in form to become smug and tell others they are bad at writing meaningless words on a forum.

We're all wrong sometimes

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

My concern with Bamford was not his ability but whether he’d be fit enough to make a difference right away. That’s been answered in a handful of games—he’s done a brilliant job of keeping himself in shape despite hardly playing any football for 18 months. At the moment he looks like he was the missing piece in this team.

Never doubted his ability at this level.

My concern was that he was a cheating, diving, prima-donna knob, who embodies some of the worst traits in pampered modern millionaire footballers.

When, in fact, he’s come across as a modest team player, with a smashing sense of humour, who plays a much cleaner game than a good proportion of the niggly twats wearing (e.g.) Wednesday or Stoke shirts in recent games.

Always happy to be wrong.

And he’s been brilliant for us so far.

A hearty GLTTL.

 

[Kenilworth]

But he's not a lad from the pub.
He's the most successful manager of my lifetime, and one of the most successful in the club's history.
How is this lost on people like you just because he sings songs and likes a beer?
You've absolutely no idea whether owners would like him and youve absolutely no clue whether high end Premier league players would enjoy his coaching style.
Honestly, the disrespect this man gets is unreal. Like all his wins and achievements have come about because he scream and shouts and nothing more.

Its unreal isn’t it?
It’s like he never got voted as premiership manager of the season by a group of his peers.

All this utter bollocks about not being a respected manager because he acts like a fan out of business hours. Other clubs fans would absolutely love it for their club.
It’s real life.

Only a few actually get trophy success.
Is it really better to be Bland Brighton, Beige Bournemouth, Flacid Fulham, or Boring Burnley and still be trophy less?
Is the pinnacle just being a bit part player in the VAR corrupt league?

We don’t even have the wedge of funds those clubs have so without those resources I’m absolutely made up with Dem Blayards being Blayards and being Sheffield - cos that’s actually what defines us.

 

[JT89]

At a time where the gap between grassroots fans and highly-paid staff and players is growing, it's fantastic that we have a manager who has not detached from his roots.

You remember the time the rinsed the club for millions as he walked away when things weren’t going his way right?

Yeah. This management malarkey. You know they tap in your kitchen? Just like that, innit tho?

100 this

 

[HVR]

There's always a few matches that become turning points during a season. I wonder if being 2-0 up against Hecky and then losing 3-2 - lit the fire in his belly. That must have hurt him.

He took his contractually obliged severance pay. You want to blame someone for the value, blame those who negotiated it

Plus the fact that he generated all that money from a position of sweet fuck all. He was entitled to every penny.

Anyone remember the Adkins end of season parade of shame? Since then, how much did the Prince actually put into the club?

He earned the right to negotiate a good contract. Not his fault the club had the business sense of a Watermelon

Still maintain all the money available for negotiating that contract was earned by CWAK. The Prince backed him as well as he could but the real magic that generated all the funds came from CWAK.

Looks like we are getting our mojo back.

Players look happy and begining to look confident.
Surprised pigs game was abandoned, they should be use to playing underwater.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

Never really got, the hate for Wilder from some on here.
He’s given us some fantastic days/nights as Blades, since he took over a set of no hopers in League 1.And he’s still doing it.Yes there’s been disappointments along the way, it’s to be expected in this game.And yes when we start losing a couple the Wilder haters will be back on here sticking their neck out again.They’re probably the same people that kept telling us Sydie needed to be rested.He didn’t he just needed a bit of help in midfield!
Thankfully Wilder and most of our fanbase, don’t pay much attention to em.The good times are back, and long may they continue, under one of our grestest managers, who really gets what we are about.
Up the Blades!

For me, it isn’t about who we’ve beaten lately - it’s the manner in which we’ve beaten them. It’s not been the ‘get a goal & defend it’ approach we’ve become accustomed to from last season. We’re getting ahead, then want more and more.

We’ve obliterated everyone we’ve played in the last month (baring the second 45 at Leicester). We were 4-0 up yesterday afternoon and still pushed for a 5th, pressing them on the edge of their own penalty box. We’re demoralising sides & it’s so refreshing to see.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Other than the post coutts injury phase in our first championship season this spell since Wilder has returned is probably our weakest under him in the championship. And yet by now majority of fans are on side and thinking he's doing a good job with what he had to work with.

Quite why some are so against a manager who completely changed the clubs fortunes and has success I don't know but the stubborn ones do make me laugh when he proves them wrong time and time again.

 

[gordoncharles]

We are seeing the benefit of two separate changes.

Firstly we have good players for this division in most positions and they are now playing with the confidence they lacked before; a natural consequence of what Wilder would say is "winning football matches". Stoke appear to be on the downswing of that particular rollercoaster.

It also looks as if Wilder has finally remembered, after quite some time, that when playing well it's not a bad idea to continue largely in the same vein instead of trying to just sit on a one-goal lead (or as was the case last week, a three-goal lead). As a result Stoke were never able to get started and build any momentum, and we had almost a full game of very pleasing football indeed with a handsome win to enjoy.

If we have this attitude from now on I shall be very happy, even in defeat.

 

[GeorgeDonis1889]

I think what's happened is Wilder has FINALLY accepted that posters on here simply know more about football than him and has finally started listening to them.
