Wilder will change the team for Saturday, surely.

Thought Coutts was bright and showed a willingness for the ball after coming on. Some good cross field passes - our best player? Not sure if Fleck was injured? Bash needs benching.

Leon tried. Billy needs a reality check. Drop him Wilder.

For the love of God, please no more Done on the wing, though Chapman was awful.

O'Connell the best of a woeful defensive back line.

George, once and for all, cannot continue between the sticks.

Hopefully we bring more players in, but I've heard little. A disastrous start by Wilder and one he must shoulder. Some application second half but we rarely, if ever threatened. Duffy has been abysmal. Midfield is bypassed.

 

[Linz]

Go on then... Do your worst

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I don't even care anymore.

If we got relegated this season I'd honestly just laugh.

 

[Barney]

Absolute garbage.

What about the other twenty that the BMers will start?

 

[shorehamstreet1990]

That George Long will no longer be between the stick?

Millwall are getting pumped 5-0 by Posh so they're doing worse than we are.

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

How many left the ground at half time?

 

[Roygbiv]

After watching that, I can't see anything other than Wilder being McCabes next fall guy and us being in the bottom 4 all season. Not sure how he can turn it around with the players at the club and the lack of funds.

 

[Barney]

George Long will definitely be going after tonight, he and the the rest of the side were absolutely dire. I will just say some of the abuse young George received was fucking vile though, it's one of the worst I've seen against one of our own players ffs and I wouldn't be surprised if that tonight has a lasting effect on the lad.

 

[Barney]

How many left the ground at half time?

I was one and was by no means alone.

 

[YES Blade]

I honestly think Hammond would improve that team FFS!

 

[Oreyt]

For me anyway.

Three defensive howlers that come freakishly close to each other

But the second half they, understandably, sat back....and we still looked half arsed, unprepared, unfocused etc etc. We looked like we were in training.

Grim stuff.

 

[derryblade]

What a clueless , embarrassing, gutless performance, conceded early goal and collapsed without a fight, second best all over the park we appear to be slow of thought and devoid of any plan "A" or "B". We clearly have replaced one set of spineless dross with another. I haven't a clue how we turn this around, there wasn't one positive to take from that, poor in defence, devoid of bite or creativity in midfield and little movement or attacking threat up front, overall offered nothing did their keeper actually have to save a shot. Can't wait to hear CW take on that non performance.

You've got your hands full tonight Linz

 

[Slim Man]

Has McNulty been having a pop on Wilders missus?

 

[Bladesboy0]

The constant crossing into the box is simply not working. Hussey and brayford the best full backs in the league don't make me laugh.

 

[Barney]

You've got your hands full tonight Linz

It is genuinely amazing how many grown adults with functioning eyes fail to understand where they should post.

 

[Caseh]

The players look like they've never played together.. Each time to play together.

 

[zablade]

Garbage tonight, left with 15 minutes to go which is the second earliest I have ever left a match at the Lane.

I think we are screwed, this is looking like a relegation season already.

 

[super_pig]

Go on then... Do your worst

i'm in bed with flu in a watching brief. i'm glad i didnt turn up

 

[super_pig]

That George Long will no longer be between the stick?

Millwall are getting pumped 5-0 by Posh so they're doing worse than we are.

weren't they away though? and not playing the bottom team?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

That's what Wilder has been preaching all summer, players that will run through a brick wall for the club, players that need to understand what playing for Sheffield United is all about.

Well I dread the day Wilder and his players have an off day.

I cannot remember a more inept, spineless, clueless performance from a team playing and managing our great club.

4 games, 4 defeats and not a sniff of optimism to hang on to. Wilder is already in deep trouble.

 

[jt64]

How many left the ground at half time?

I got in late just after their third and people were leaving then

 

[Bergen Blade]

It is time to be brave and not let names dictate line ups. Wilder came with a preferred formation and effective playing style. He spent the summer drilling it into the players. And then he just scraps it all to make room for Billy Sharp and Leon Clarke. Four times now.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I understand it was tempting to try, but enough is enough.

In my opinion there was little wrong with the original plan, and we only have to hope that the rot hasn't set in too deep, and that we can start improving if Wilder goes back to it.

That really fucked me off the cunts who were giving him pain are pure vermin

Can't you disable the making of new threads for a few hours after games? I wonder if as it's at the top, many are used to ignoring the sticky threads so aren't seeing where to post? Remarkable as that is...

 

[Roygbiv]

Least we are upsetting others too

 

[shorehamstreet1990]

True.
Straws are being well and truly clutched.
