And in many cases, we've ended up relegated
Such as? It's a bit of a broad brush statement. What comments don't you 'beleave'?
Okay. That's kinda what everyone is saying. And Wilder's statement is better placed after the Man City or Liverpool game. Not last night's. There is context.
The players may be giving it all they've got. It's not good enough. Circular argument.
Really? Take a look at Baldock's two misses. McBurnie's. Mousett's. It really shouldn't be tough to figure that it's not really about luck. You have 192 square feet of goal, 60% of it covered by a well positioned goalkeeper. If WBA can ankle-shin it into the corner from 19 yards why can't McBurnie, clear on goal, not show the killer instinct an bottom corner it? Put Ramsdale up against Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings in the same situation (to name but three). Who would you put a tenner on?
I disagree. I think a lot of the fan base are less optimistic and those 'loud voices' you hear are ones who have salient, credible points to make. It sounds to me (again) like you are giving it the 'shut the fuck up' to Wilder's and the team's detractors. If we were winning, do you think our voices would be any less loud?
We are 'together'. But sentiments of 'one of us' is a bit callow. Micky Adams was 'one of us'. So was Neil Warnock. And I doubt Wilder is of the character to 'walk tomorrow' when he has demonstrably done so much for us and the club. He has a mission and we support that. We do however, with the club failing dismally, bottom of the league, one point, four goals and looking nowhere near survival having spent many, many millions on players who are clearly playing in a league way above what their cost suggests and players showing deepening confidence issues in a system he deigns suitable but again, clearly failing, have the right to question what the fuck he thinks he is doing. To benignly stay silent is not being a football supporter. It's being a cabbage.
Good point. One which unqualifies your above statements.
These 'tryers' - a large proportion of them last season weren't just tryers. They were winners. Discuss.

What? Sorry. Just cleaning my glasses on that one. We have spent a sum of money way in advance of anything we have ever spent. Brewster alone is possibly more expensive than all the transfer cash we have ever spent since the seventies. We have spent £31m on two strikers who gave us a meagre 12 goals between them last season, both of whom spent a sizeable amount of time either on the treatment table or warming the bench. Don't tell me we don't have the cash, when we have spunked £8m on two full backs from the basement club in the Championship, one of whom is not showing us much and the other one isn't even making the teamsheet. See also Osborn, Luke Freeman even Callum Robinson, Rodwell, Jagielka and any number of dud acqusitions we have all got fearfully excited about yet the midfield pivot, my mate Oliver Norwood, possibly THE most important position is Wilder's 5-3-2 formation, is sliding down the u-bend of shitness to join Bobby Ford, Mark Patterson, Micheal Doyle and other luminary midfielders in the sewer. And finally, why not break the bank for Dean Henderson? Ramsdale plus the fees for Lowe/Bogle and Brewster would have secured us that rather gifted young man. Rumour is, he's off to Leeds in January if De Gea's resurgence continues. Great stuff.
I can assure you - we are all behind the Blades and Widler. Bassett may have pulled off something of a miracle but as memory serves me correctly, that disn't come about from playing the same team, with the same tactics and disillusioning the players. And yes, we've been here before. We've been relegated down the leagues. Right the way down to div four, in fact.
