He’s lost the dressing room

[stringer]

When on this shit a run and with confidence so low, any manager who’s ‘lost the dressing room’ would be watching his team get done by 3, 4 or 5 every week. As others have rightly said, the effort is there. The quality just sadly isn’t.

 

[Rudders]

Osborn, Ramsdale, Robinson, Ampadu, Brewster, Mousset.

5 players there that hardly played last season.....and Ramsdale aside (who i feel has been treat harshly), none of them have any quality.

Ramsdale seems to be improving, hopefully Brewster. Ampadu unsure, very slow burner maybe, he might grow physically to help in the role. Mousse looked lost but it was only one game. I don't see Robinson or Osborn ever being able to play consistently at the top level, Robinson in particular looks a class or 3 below what is needed and is getting ruthlessly exploited

 

[yorkshirecoast]

If he’s lost the dressing room then we need a new dressing room rather than a new manager.

He wasted £130m on that dressing room.

 

[Varkanoid]

Osborn looked actually better at LWB - just - he is not a midfielder.

 

[CentralQuay]

The fees for Mcburnie/Berge/Brewster/Osborn/Bogle don't appear wasted, so who are you referring to for £130 million?

Moose hasn't looked a player in any games he's been involved in for over a year

We have 2 points and, to date, are officially the worst team in PL history. You’re right - money well spent.

How would you have spent it?

Considering Blades are the least attractive side in the league for a variety of reasons.

We weren’t but we are now.

I’d have spent in on a replacement for JOC, more creativity and more athleticism i.e. all the things it was blatantly obvious we needed to spend it on.

No idea where you've got this idea from.

Blades were the least attractive proposition in the league before a ball was kicked, what makes you think otherwise?

By giving it to someone who’d not spunked last seasons budget and not allowing it to carry on. His signings have been poor for nigh on two seasons now.

Because unlike you I’m not a Leicester fan.

Remember you and the utter bollocks you came out with.

Jog off back to Filbert Street.

So what you mean is, you let your bias get in the way of facts.
If you pay the lowest wages in the league, have the worst infrastructure in terms of scouting/recruitment in the league, how do you expect to compete?


Wilder knew this last season, there's some huge clues in his interview after the away game at Leicester that he knew this season would be hugely difficult, and his transfer dealings suggest he's looking for the long term approach.

"These players are lucky.....I don't expect any huge changes next season".

He said something along those lines. He knew then that this squad was not good enough to remain in the top flight for a prolonged period. So he's bought the likes of Brewster/Berge/Mcburnie/Burke etc etc for the long term.

Why do you come here winding Blades folk up? Go back to the plastic clackers board in Leicester. I don't see what you get as fan of another team telling us Blades what is right and wrong with our club?

I'm 'Winding' fans up by defending Wilder?

I've been going Blades games for the last 5/6 years, don't tell me what I can/can't comment on, just because my opinions contain less bias and are influenced less by emotion.

You are not a Blade. You cried like a baby about the 'funny little irishman' when he got you into Europa league instead of the Champions league so when you say emotion you actually emptied your tear ducts on us at the back end of last season, you wanted him sacked.

You cannot answer for a Blade because you are not one so give your point of view if you like but don't try and ram it down people's throats.

Why you come here I have no idea.

 

[Ernest]

I wouldn’t say he’s lost the dressing room, but I fear that it’ll become fractious. He has support from some of the ‘stalwarts’, like Basham, Baldock, McGoldrick and the likes. It’s the other ‘groups’ I am ponderous about.

Take Bogle for example - he makes his PL debut, scores and plays really well then can’t get a look in. I’d genuinely understand if he was pissed off.

Then you have the case of John Lundstram. A man who has been quite open about the fact he doesn’t see his future here, yet he plays most weeks...

 

[CarlMcBlade]

You can’t watch this season unravel the way it is, the Southampton game, the Everton game and tell me otherwise.

There’s only so many times you can be told you’re much wanker than your peers and don’t deserve to be on the same pitch as them before you a) start to believe it or b) start to hate the person who keeps saying it.

They want him out. It’s clear and plain to see.

This isn’t a team full of Premier league superstars, who can dictate the fate of the manager. They are either journeymen pro’s or young lads trying to learn their trade in the best league in the world. None of them have “downed tools,” they simply ain’t good enough.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Sorry I’m not screaming positivity when we have 2 points

Fucking boo....

I want Rodgers Sacked, present tense, not past........Not sure why you're changing the subject of the thread mind, or why you're misquoting people.

I'm not 'ramming my opinion down peoples throats', i'm simply giving it.
You're incredibly defensive because you know you ultimately agree with my assessment, and you don't like that fact.


Listen to Wilder buddy, he knows his stuff.
He was trying to tell the fans last season, but clearly you weren't listening.
His project is long term, and the squad is in far better shape than 12 months ago.

I'm not biting....There's only one troll here on the wind up.

I think the way you're treating Wilder is a disgrace.

Who supplied you with that stuff you’re inhaling, pal? I wondered if it was available on prescription that’s all, because I want whatever you’re on.

You are odd. Wilder is a legend here no matter what happens to him, you called your boss a silly little Irishman for only getting you a Europa place. I would call that a disgrace in more ways than one.

Billy Sharp + David Mcgoldrick vs Oli Mcburnie + Rhian Brewster.......

Which pairing scores more goals over the next 10 years?


Mcburnie who is vilified on here by many, already has more Premier League goals than Sharp and Mcgoldrick will likely retire with.
Perspective.

That’s a bit pot & kettle the way you talk about Brendan Rodgers

Incorrect, both a lie, and derailing the thread.

"Northern Irish Fraud" was the term I used.......

But please, continue to ignore the subject of the thread for your own agenda.

If all was lost we would be on the receiving end of the same kinda results. It sucks, it's just part of life, the ups and the downs. I found it easy to get tickets to games when we were in the 3rd div. Couldn't get my card to work with the last home game of the promotion to the prem. My lads and I had made the trip up to sheff and stood outside the ground until we could get in only to find the tickets hadn't gone through and ticket office couldn't help. The ground was full though that day, unlike the previous 6 years and right now this team of players need every single one of them. Not just when we are winning but in the days when we aren't. That's what makes us Blades and not that lot up the road that sack the manager on December 24th. Just think of the squad we could have had if we had stuck with Warlock, 2 kylies, a Maguire and DCL!! We have wasted away from the last relegation and even spending all that money has only just got us back to a decent upper championship team.
I was propper peed off at not getting to see us promoted to the prem, but more so fo my lads who had been dragged to places like Burslem and put up with the other kids at school not even knowing we existed. Last year they could tell their mates, now you know who we are. This year, meh! But at least they won't come home with a manu, Liverpool or arsenal shirt on. I get it's some people's religion but it's not really is it tho

 

[S40BLADE]

Strongly disagree. My evidence, the last twelve months of "football" we have "played". We have refused to even attempt and sign any athleticism and creativity and that is one of the key reasons why we are on course to go down in the history books as the very worst. Unlike some I cant make my mind up either way with the coaching staff, our recruitment has been so restricted and narrow minded that no matter who is in charge they are fucked.
