[Not so Slim ane]

Gone to pieces since the Norwood sub ... what the fuck was wilder thinking

 

[Jan Age]

We have a first team and that’s it. Everyone else has a squad

We have a first team?

 

[Bugboyblade]

Bogle looked absolutely knackered to me.

 

[SwissBlade]

Switched off and Manchester turned the screw

 

[Jan Age]

Gone to pieces since the Norwood sub ... what the fuck was wilder thinking

He doesn’t think

 

[SwissBlade]

We have a first team?

I heard a rumour

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I never expected us to win tonight, not by a country mile, but surely the same bullshit over and over has to cost Wilder his job in the summer. How can this club move on and look to the future with a stubborn dinosaur in charge who continually looks to the past, even in matches. Ergo, bringing on Norwood. Clean slate needed all round. New owner, new board, new staff, new manager, new squad.

 

[gooseh]

Hopefully macca just fancies an early go in the bath

 

[Davalon]

Our defence should get a residency at Jongleurs

 

[Jon Bon II]

No VAR check for offside then?

 

[Davalon]

Hopefully macca just fancies an early go in the bath

Wouldn't surprise me at all

 

[GKhantRebel]

AHH, the olde gaping hole in the middle of our defence trick again!

 

[Steve.C]

Anel is gash

 

[Dieforthreepoints]

Its the hope that kills you

Won't get any of those things...maybe some new squad players.

 

[Nick Jansky]

A legitimate tactic for teams these days is to wait for Wilder to make poor substitutions and then go on to win the game without breaking sweat. Can’t help thinking he’s trying to give Norwood enough games to trigger an automatic extension.

 

[MojoMuffin]

'Tis like groundhog day. I know he's been a mardy fucker on his socials but feel bad for Wes. The jokes around it not being 7-0 pre-match would have been proved very wrong if not for him tonight. Just the same old shit with shit VAR and shit subs. Could be relegated this weekend (I know we are) but let's sub the lads doing a decent job and save them? "Let's do that shall we?"

 

[Dieforthreepoints]

Only reason it isn't 10-2 is Wes.. Hope CW doesn't start lambasting him again after the game

The good news is you'll get your new squad. The bad news is itl be somebody like adam reach and another signing from a Swedish team near lapland

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

He doesn’t think

Spot on. He just looks at the 'Chris Wilder Playbook - page 1'

Are we losing? If yes, bring on Norwood to shore up the midfield.

Have you considered other options other than Norwood before you bring him on? Yes, but bring him on anyway as he was good for you three years ago. Don't question loyalty.

 

[Working Class Hero]

What on earth were Trusty and Holgate doing for that goal? It was like they thought the ball had gone out of play.

 

[bakeblade]

Our defence should get a residency at Jongleurs

Wes has been brilliant and we still concede 4

 

[Jon Bon II]

To be fair, notwithstanding the scoreline, we've done ok tonight. Everyone has put a shift in, not least the away support, who have been fantastic throughout.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

It's the same old story. We can not perform for 90+ minutes. At this level you have to be at it from the first whistle til the last. And don't get me started on Norwood. Please but the old horse in the pasture after a good career.....time to rest.

 

[drblade]

Could have been 10, Wes did well.

 

[Jan Age]

We have got to keep Hamer at all costs next season… way above anything else we have

It was 2 2 when Norwood came on

 

[Greenblades]

Norwood and Souza midfield leaves us in a mess …… Step forward manager of the year !

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Quality from Trusty on the 4th. Genuinely don’t even want him as a back up next season. All these defensive mistakes for a player who is utterly useless on the ball

 

[Jan Age]

Fans though 10/10
