I don't think I mentioned being impressed, satisfied or happy anywhere.
I simply posted stats that suggest we have, and continue to improve under Wilder, as per the original post.
Oh, and by the way, I'm in my 60's and still play football so have a reasonable idea of what a decent standard is.
We're a way off being the kind of side I'd like us to be, but we're progressing. :)
I don’t have much time for stats,same as decent ex footballers like Merson Keane and a few other of the pundits state. It’s similar to AI bollocks with analysis,hence it’s where we have found ourselves with some stupid decisions. Hats off to you for still playing football at your age,impressed.

Not that impressive really mate. I only play against other 60 year olds! 😂
Saying that, it's a decent standard with a sprinkling of ex-pros still playing.
I never was that good, but age is a great leveller.
Mind you, I did think about giving Bettis a ring a couple of times earlier this season ;)

Respect,I jacked in at 36,guested many times for ex pros before I threw the towel in. Loved it. Don’t tell anyone,or I’ll be slagged but I guested a few times for Johnny Quinn’s all stars,the ex Wednesday lot,Trevor Francis was still quicker and sharper than most of the current blades squad even then. RIP. Keep healthy and keep going.

Get back into it if you can mate. Best thing I did.
I stopped at a similar age to you and almost threw my boots out as I didn't think I'd need them anymore.
I kept looking at them in the garage but couldn't bring myself to lob them out.
When I hit 40 I thought 'Well, I'll definitely never play again now, I might as well throw them away, but still couldn't bring myself to do it.
Same thing kept happening, then I finally threw them out some time in my early 50s. A couple of months later I started playing again!
It was just walking footy at first, but now full on 7 a-side and 11 a-side running football.
If you're based in Sheffield and interested in either walking or running let me know and I'll get some details to you.
Ours is a great club with 3 ability/fitness levels. You'd love it.

John Quin was a class player
