Chris being too clever again?

I think Wilder will have made his decisions based on the information available to him, which is a lot more than is available to us. I understand that. What I don't understand is that why is it when we lose, some posters seem to just want to wind up fellow blades with their shitposts?

A small point but we just played 3 games in 7 days.
Not 3 games in 6 days as everybody keeps saying.
Sun 13:15 to Sat 15:00 = Just over 7 days.

Some proper shite posted in here I can only assume most a lot have never played to even a semi decent level to know how draining, both physically and mentally, three games in a week is.

Even those that haven’t, why not just place trust in the man who’s steered us to over 100 points last season and 2nd position before yesterday. Unbelievable amount of bollocks

You sure about that?

Not according to my fingers and thumb, it’s just over 6 days.

Me neither.

I’ve even read posts suggesting that we shouldn’t go for for it like we do and be more cautious. Six wins out of our last 8 games is obviously not good enough.

3 games in 6 days...Sun..Weds...Sat, if at the beginning if the season you asked this question

"would you after 11 games be happy with United being in 3rd spot, 3pts of the leaders and taken 3 pts of their city rivals at floodsborough and invent a cure for bouncing, then 3 days later go away again and get another 3 pts but we might lose our next game...."

I think most united fans would say yes please and chew their own right gonad off

I'm not upset we lost yesterday by all accounts the lads put 150% in again but it just didn't go for us, two unfortunate defensive lapses, they started this season as they finnished last, going at it full bloody throttle and more, it can't last, the lads just can't keep doing that, thank god we have the 2 week break. In Tufty I trust he knows how much the lads have put in, just listen to him what he says about yesterdays game he can't fault the lads not one iota, in fact he was very very pleased with performance and effort and won't criticise them so why should anyone else, everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to them quite rightly so but give the lads and Tufty a break, onwards and upwards. UTB

^^ What he said....

 

[northsomersetblade]

Wilder could play Donald Trump & Kim Jong Un and I would not back against us getting a result.

I'm not so sure - I can see them both getting done for pace

Both have a rocket of a shot though.

Nope just rested a couple of players.

Don’t buy this resting or rotation of players theory! Play your best team!!

 

[Isar]

He had a similar blip last year with a changed team. Agree? Disagree? Discuss.

He is the manager and has more than earned the right to play the team as he thinks it should be. He may or may not get it right every time, but his tactics have worked well for us so far

I can't believe how many people keep getting this wrong.

I wonder if they're just ignoring one day of the week for rivalry meanings?

Sunday 13.15 to Monday 13.15 is one day (24 Hours)
Monday 13.15 to Tuesday 13.15 is one day (24 Hours)
Tuesday 13.15 to Wednesday 13.15 is one day (24 Hours)
Wednesday 13.15 to Thursday 13.15 is one day (24 Hours)
Thursday 13.15 to Friday 13.15 is one day (24 Hours)
Friday 13.15 to Saturday 13.15 is one day (24 hours)

Saturday 3pm kick off is another 1 hour and 45 minutes.

You could argue that it is six days and 1 hour, 45 minutes, or you could argue that it had ticked over into seven days.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

You sure about that?

Not according to my fingers and thumb, it’s just over 6 days.

If we had played Sunday then Monday, is that 2 games in 1 day? Or 2 games in 2 days?
If we had played Sunday then Tuesday, is that 2 games in 2 days? Or 2 games in 3 days?

Playing Sunday, then Wednesday then Saturday is 3 games in 7 days. Saturday being the 7th day

When put like that i have to agree it is 3 games in 7 days.
Not 3 games in just over 7 days though is it?

 

[Bart the Blade]

We're 3rd in the table lost 2 in our last 6 and seem to be stringing wins together not losses. Hardly call that a blip. We're flying.

CW used his squad as three games in seven days is a heck of a lot - especially given one of them was a local derby and all the intensity that brings. He did this quite a bit last year, and mostly it paid off.

Like the earlier poster said, we dont know the ins and outs of the squad - there may have been niggling little injuries not worth risking before the break.

In this league anybody can beat anybody - we arent going to be immune from that either. We are doing exceptionally well thus far.
