Poor me poor me

[CarlMcBlade]

Outside WBA/Fulham we have the best squad I would say

Name me a squad better than ours outside those two ?

If the players aren’t doing their individual jobs properly. How can you call them good players? Slav has tried to accommodate these players in various formations and styles of play. Once they are over that white line, each player has a responsibility to himself and the team. They are professional footballers and should be able to adapt to different systems. These players have form for such abject performance, well before the arrival of Slavisa Jokanovic.

 

[JJBlade]

You can think that and still think we should be doing far better than we are at the moment

Yes, absolutely
But a manager taking over Man Utd knows what he's getting
He will not have known the first thing about Sheffield United, he would have just assumed that a team of players that played in the Premier League last season would have something about them that Championship clubs don't have, he would also have a shopping list that would have been discussed, and I bet it didn't include a 35 year old and Ben Davies

 

[Swinton Blade]

Baldock/Bogle would walk inany team in the league

Enda/RND would walk in any team in the league

EGAN/BASH/Davies would walk into most teams in the league

Fleck/Norwood proven championship midfielders

Berge would be most teams best player and would walk into most prem teams

Mcburnie/Brewster would be the main man at most championship teams

The players are good enough it is upto the coaching staff to pick a formation/style of play to suit said players

If you really think that then you are as delusional as a Wednesday fan.

Go and look at the other squads in the league they would

 

[ATL Recs]

Do our managers just expect millions and millions of pound on demand without putting in any graft and creating a team worthy of been up there on the training pitch

Slav has quite comfortably one of the best squads in the league , a large chunk of this dire start is on him

In slav we trust still but it is waining

What utter bollocks one of the best squads in the league bollocks absolute bollocks and balls

 

[ATL Recs]

Go and look at the other squads in the league they would

No they wouldn’t more bollocks

I'm sure Fulham & WBA are proper jealous of our team of championship superstars

 

[United Aren't Back.]

I mean he literally doesn’t

he’s got a squad with no confidence, who’ve barely scored a goal every other game for a season and a half.

he had one centre back, no wingers, no attacking midfield no wide forwards. The squad is a fucking disgrace.

But for some reason we are stocked with about 29 left backs and 76 strikers.

literally what’s he supposed to do with this mess of a squad - it wouldn’t even get out of league one. He’s got no options other than playing this cowardly fucking broken formation because we have no alternative

this thinking that these players are what they were is wrongheaded. They are either broken or have stopped caring. They are embarrassing themselves like they did all of last season too.

The only striker at the club is Billy Sharp.

Look I understand what you’re saying, but the players are consistently failing to do even the most basic functions on the football field. The manager picks the team and determines the style of play. But he can’t do much about individual errors, poor judgment and lack of composure in front of goal.

It’s means literally nothing when there’s NO ONE to create any chances.

fleck and Norwood have had about 2 acceptable performances combined in an year and a half. Both are finished at this level

mcburnie and Brewster might be ok - scored one goal between them last season ffs. But we aren’t even creating half chances for them.

the squad is pathetic overall. Best we can hope for is a clean sheet and kicking a goal.

we’ve also got garbage keepers

 

[Davalon]

The OP has been a clear WUM for a long time and I've been surprised how many don't seem to have picked up on it.

I'm not one for being obsessive about posters being Pigs who don't fit certain criteria but in recent days I've started to think this prick might be.

Whatever, he's no proper Blade with his desire to cause shit

Who am I winding up ? You? just because you don’t agree with an opinion that this group of players are far better than scoring 1 goal in 5 and 23rd in the championship

Proper Blade ?

I take it by that you mean only true blades will turn up at the car park with there shoes off anyone who doesn’t Is a pig

The squad isn’t pathetic as shown by our players track record

They are just devoid of all ideas and all confidence

That comes down to the manager to implement new ideas , though he clearly needs help from the prince who thought it would be a cakewalk this year

Don’t disagree tbf

If you read up that’s why I said outside of WBA/Fulham

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Same shite that came 9th in the prem ?

We’re in the championship , one of the worst championships in donkeys years due to Covid just look at Fulham/wba for proof of that

The team had momentum and JOC in the team. When JOC got injured the cogs fell out of machine and the system failed. After lockdown we've been shit uner Wilder, Heckingbottom and now Slav. Do you not think we need a serious freshen up?

Oh yes we need to freshen things up definitely but replacing a full squad is unrealistic

I’d say the midfield is the main issue we are Playing decent from tee to green as wilder would say

Coach them? I watched Arsenal getting hammered by City and some of Keown’s comments could have been applied to us such as “he changed from a back two on Wednesday night to a back three today. He’s hardly had time to work with them, probably one session on Friday morning, it shows, they look like they’ve never played together before, they don’t know what they should be doing”. “He’s overcomplicating things, why not simplify his instructions?”

I’m prepared to give him time and it’s clear he’s trying to fight with one arm tied behind his back, I don’t think any relegated side has come back without a few signings, but at the moment the impression is that he didn’t do his homework on the players. Whilst some players can adapt to new systems, they need to be coached and drilled so they know what they’re doing, some more than others, because they’re playing against players who have been drilled and coached in the system they are playing. And some players just don’t suit certain systems. That’s been the case as long as I remember. Forest under Clough were a good example, very few of their players looked as good when they left, same with us under Bassett. They were chosen to do specific jobs.

When you get relegated, the one objective is to get promoted again. If you want to dramatically change the style of play, you have to spend money. If you haven’t got money to spend, you need a certain type of manager. I’m not sure that’s Slav. Give him a decent amount to spend and support him with good recruitment staff and he’d have a chance.

We were told that we wanted a manager to provide continuity, to provide evolution not revolution. If PA knew that, how have we ended up with a manager who wants to make major changes? It’s not like we did it in a hurry. We had months.

From when things started to go tits up, we’ve had a series of questionable decisions from the people running this club.
Why try to keep Wilder when it’s clear it’s not working? If he’d offered to resign, why not accept it and get a manager in before we were completely fucked?
If they were set in keeping him, why refuse to give him funds in the JTW? How did they think that was going to pan out?
They appoint Heck as a temp to give them time to identify a new manager, spend time chasing a bloke who’s not eligible for a work permit, then appoint a manager who doesn’t appear to fit the criteria they set themselves.
Why not bring in a DoF when it was the perfect opportunity to do so? Someone who can assess what type of manager we needed and had the knowledge and contacts to find one?

It’s becoming like the football equivalent of Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares.

They’ve been awful since June 2020. There’s your track record.

this squad is broken.

the Prince wasn’t the only one who thought it would be a cakewalk. So did you.

Actually since heckingbottom came in I’m pretty sure the second half of the season we were out of the relegation places in form for the last 15-games

And yes I did tbf I didn’t realise how bad we would be , however Fulham/WBA have shown that they are head and shoulders above everyone

Maybe there managers are better than ours (so far)

No we weren’t. We played at 3rd bottom form.

Fulham and WBA have far superior players unfortunately.

I’m not sure WBA do , they are just far better drilled and no exactly what they are doing from the first whistle

Us on the other hand ….
