We renewed our season tickets. I hope the new owners realise they have made a massive mistake in giving Wilder a new contract. Get a good positive manager in for the playoffs.

I've tried to not be too critical of him so far.
We have a very good squad (probably the best in the league). I suspect most of our best players were not signed by Wilder.
He has managed to get this squad to the playoffs, despite his negative tactics. I think we have played well in 2 or 3 matches this season.
I am not looking forward to another season of Wilder football.
 

I'm thinking of taking a massive sign in for our last match as a protest against Wilder. He's let us down with his negative play. Unfortunately I won't be be able to attend on Good Friday.

Best squad in the league?
You are joking, aren’t you?
Leeds and Burnley had far superior squads at the start of the season. Still have higher value squad and paid more.

Look at what we had in July / august 😳

The rebuild has been huge.
The position we are in after having 2 points off is amazing, given the start.

Losing Souttar and Arblaster for so long and having Souza out for more than a quarter of the season are all factors that you appear to lay at the manager.

The Leeds squad bottled it last year and has been 2 years in the making. This one has been put together whilst into a Championship campaign. It’s an amazing job.
I’m as pissed off about the last 3 results as any Blade but this witch hunt is a load bed wetting nonsense.
If Farke had the same squad at the start we’d be mid table at best.
If Parker had the same squad we’d be there or lower.
After the absolute lashings we got last season we all expected a reyt load of bollocks this season. It hasn’t been. There’s been highs and lows and attrition and, yes, it’s not as good as we’d hoped but look at Boro, Baggies, Cov’s dreadful start, Blackburn fallen off a cliff. If it was easy they’d all be doing it.
 
I haven’t renewed yet, but undecided on whether I will or not, but it’s irrelevant who’s in charge to whether I will renew or not

Imagine you enter a half marathon not expecting to win, then with 2 mile to go your 3 mins ahead - only to cruise control, get overtaken and finish 3rd

Loser’s attitude is ‘well I didn’t expect 3rd so that’s a win really’

Elite sportsman should be disgusted with letting 1st slip

Praise and criticism can be delivered at the same time

No doubt we’ve done well given our starting position (Burnley had a similar task mind)

But, having got into a great position, to fuck it up in 8 days, and these wernt spozzy losses, we were wank, as we were against Hull, Bristol etc is the problem

I hope we make it to the Prem, if not I hope we are in a position to give it a go.
Whatever happens I hope Wilder is our manager…in fact I hope he is our manager for the next five years.
These three defeats apart I’ve enjoyed this season.

I’ll bet every one of those elite sportsmen in the squad feel exactly that.

It still doesn’t mean that a load of bed wetting moaners should flounce and kick off about the manager when the job the whole squad and management team has done this season is so far ahead of any expectations we realistically had.

Go back and listen to the pre season Bladespod to get a feel for what the sensible expectations were. We’re way ahead of any of those. Beans Roygbiv can validate that
