Think this performance has firmly pushed me into the Wilder out side, we just can't be getting dominated by a league two side, having 1 shot on target with pretty much a first team out

Giving Campbell a new contract and bringing back Jairo has done it for me

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Time to call it a day Wilder and leave with some of your reputation and legacy in tack.

We are a shell of a team now with so many unfit losers with no pattern of play and that rests with you!

Wilder has completely destroyed his reputation for me when he refused to call out these owners. Listening to him at Northampton vs this season it's like a completely different person

 

[blades78]

Since Selles was sacked Wilder has now been in charge for 48 league matches, more than a whole season. We can't keep blaming Selles anymore. The recruitment has been shambolic which isn't entirely the owners fault as we wasted the summer waiting on Souttar and Phillips while other potential players went elsewhere. As per usual Bettis only seemed able to negotiate one transfer at a time. We are an embarrassment of a club and look like amateurs on and off it. I don't think this club has ever looked so out of sorts and completely lost.

I've seen it in a worse state, but completely agree the general organisation, fitness/injury record of players, scouting and recruitment is non league level.

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

That is simply appalling by cannon

 

[HarryHaslam]

So poor from cannon

 

[Steve.C]

Wilder out. Lost the plot. He’s brought a load of journey men in who are just picking a wage up and his arrogance thinks he can get a tune out of them! RND is horrendous

 

[Geordie Blade]

I get it’s the league cup but when you’ve got chuff all to play for at least give a it a go against lower league clubs

The sad thing is that this is them giving it a go.

 

[XADE]

If you are expecting anything else, when you sell most of your creative players then you are deluded.

We are getting the type of football we deserve for panic selling because we might not get money for them if they walk.

Did Wilder do that? Did he have any say in it whatsoever?

 

[Bertie Mee]

It’s going to be interesting to see how he tries to spin this but don’t expect the spineless RS commentators to ask him any awkward questions as they haven’t got the bottle.

 

[RWE]

Wilder has completely destroyed his reputation for me when he refused to call out these owners. Listening to him at Northampton vs this season it's like a completely different person

He knows he won’t get a job anywhere above a mid league 1 side, and definitely not on the money he’s on here.

TOM CANNON IS F**KING S**T

He's had no choice

 

[ChezVegasBlade]

It's going to be a long hard relegation struggle, hard to see us scoring many goals

You can't blame losing your best players on an inability to do the basics like pass the ball to a team mate or defend simple balls. We are shambolic in every department except for the goalkeeper.

There is literally no sign of any tactics or patterns of plays. It's like Wilder has either run out of ideas or has just given up. If we played well in general play but didn't create much then I'd accept that it's down to losing Hamer, O'Hare and Brooks. We are a shambles all over the pitch and the performances are beyond excuses. This is not acceptable.

TOM CANNON IS F**KING S**T

Unfortunately so are a high % of the others

 

[ComedyClub]

Did Wilder do that? Did he have any say in it whatsoever?

More than likely not. But he sure as fuck had a say on who were replacing them.

 

[Jan Age]

It's going to be a long hard relegation struggle, hard to see us scoring many goals

It’s like nobody wants to admit it though

 

[Nick Jansky]

What an embarrassment.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

We were in the PL in 2024

This squad is an utter, utter disgrace

I think we're the only club who could pull this off

 

[VictoryBlade]

Never been a Wilder out chap me but I think its time for him to go! This is completely unacceptable!

Tbf Leicester are giving it a good go

 

[Steve.C]

He's had no choice

No choice? How about getting a few more hungry youngsters in who’s want to impress.

 

[gooseh]

He's having a mare

 

[DromoreBlade]

Get it over the first man at a corner ffs

 

[biggey blade]

Why have we signed ayew? Cannon misses an open net but ayew looks like an old man on the pitch he can't run he can't control a ball he can't do anything wilder comes out and says he choose him over Ivan Toney really? Wouldn't have wanted either but can tell you if he really thinks ayew is better than Toney then he needs his head looking at

 

[Mario1889]

If we lose what do we reckon?

Does Wilder go over and thank the fans for their excellent support or does he p**s off straight down the tunnel?

 

[SRBlade]

RND with a solid 1/10 performance tonight

 

[Red Wing Blade]

How many shirts are already hanging up in the dressing room? No wonder there's no money for players when we have to buy a shirt of the team we just played after every bloody game!

Ayew runs like he’s carrying someone on his back.

We all know the answer to that.. straight down the tunnel to throw the players under the bus.
