How have we gone from

[TomHeffernan]

Being the best and most entertaining Blades side I have ever seen to this anti football shambles? Remember the 80 mins against Man Utd? The almost Harlem Globetrotter display against Bruce’s Villa?
Almost guaranteed entertainment every time we turned up?

This is getting bad. In fact it’s embarrassingly bad.

Agree .thats NOT football

Nail on head

 

[Harry's Game]

This is what upsets me the most..

We have become everything I hated about the Clough and Adkins side... everything CW said he knew the Blades should never be about.

As much as we don’t like to admit it, it’s confidence, belief and momentum. They play a much bigger role than anyone will ever let on.

 

[Chabuddy G]

It was like this in the weeks before lockdown to be honest. We ignored it because we were winning. But the signs have been there for a while.

Agreed, personally I think we look beat as we walk on the pitch. That was fucking awful tonight.

There is no consequence for losing, we're already down and wilder knows his job is safe.. The players don't care as long as they get paid, why bother trying? The whole set up is just toxic

Nail on head

If only...it felt more like toenails, then finger nails, digits, limbs, electrocution and finally a large nail!!

It seemed to change as soon as there was a possibility of Europe. He seemed to believe his own hype and then every game was a case of trying to score one goal and defend. Trying to draw games. It has been boring as sin most of this season. We're not 'in games', teams just score one and then decide to not bother because we've got £60 millions of useless strikers at the club.

 

[Bladeinleeds]

We are down. no point playing for a nil nil draw?

It’s not even like there is any pressure now. Who cares if we get beaten - we may as well at least try abs entertain. Why have we suddenly gone from taking the game to opponents, to treating Fulham like they are Man City and we are lucky to be on the same pitch.

‘we won’t go out the back door’ is looking a million miles away. We’re sneaking out the window in the middle of the night and aren’t even interested in attempting to win anymore it seems.

 

[Roygbiv]

The cycle has ended. The majority of players aren't good enough to be permanent Premier League players and they've had their time in the sun. Momentum, the weird system, the over achieving of players compared to their natural level, the crowd.........it's gone. These players as a whole are not Premier League players and they're going back to their natural level of performances. That's my take anyway.

 

[Gretsch Blade]

Agreed

What did CWAK coach them differently? Hoof to McB? Give it back to them at every opportunity? Defend vs attack?
Utterly Bizarre.
Couldn't be more different to last few seasons

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hi, Stegosaurus here

I think it's clear it was a fluke. Wilder stumbled onto a one off tactic but now teams have cottoned on, he doesnt hsve a clue.

He's out of his depth in the prem.

Very easy.....
We had a settled back 6 last season. Now with injuries we don’t have any of that. Our defence was our starting block and now we don’t have that.

 

[ZxyBlade]

The team that started 30+ games together last season has probably played 4 games together this. And the depth is not in the squad. And the sheer amount of injuries is crazy. We should of rested players end of last season sent jack for surgery. But we had Europe to play for and I think that's what cost us. Victims of our own success

 

[steve26272]

We’ve gone from having one of the best keepers in the league to the worst
Settled back 3 to total disruption and zero confidence in themselves each other or keeper
Fleck & Norwood have returned to their natural level
Mousse out most of season
Missing the fans

CW needs to really look at recruitment, tactics, pet projects (if I was Verrips I’d fuck off now) and why I’ve lost the “we will try to win every game” and overlapping wingbacks that 3.5 seasons success was built on and replaced it with this shite

I also think Prince fucked up
Probably been a bit misty eyed, but why did he come out and say CW is safe ?

No football manager should be afforded that!
It’s a results business and giving any man this golden egg is wrong

He should have had a shot across the bows after 6 games of the season, and then something done when there was a chance to stay up

We are now that pissed up looser walking out of the casino at 6am fucked cos we were loosing but kept lumping on red.
