[Harry's Game]

[Uganda Blade]

Here, FH Team, are the questions so far.

Most popular is this "easy" one:

Will you listen to the fans more after they masterminded the victory over Wrexham?
Roygbiv

Here are the rest:

Any chance Seriki starts against the bottom of table team?
WORKSOPBLADE
Now youve played BBD in his best position and seen the difference any chance of doing it with choudary, it may pay dividends
Argentinemanager
Any chance of leaving one or two players up the field when defending a corner - that clearance from Cooper to Ayew was perfect for him to run onto to stay onside from inside his own half
richblade
With the team showing the highest level of fitness of the season so far over 90 minutes on Friday. Will you acknowledge there is now no reason to fear 3 games in a week and start your best eleven from the off managing fatigue/ injuries via substitutions only.

Q. Can we just go out and smash them please ?

 

[Harry's Game]

Q. Can we just go out and smash them please ?

Was that his answer to my page 3 girl question?

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Looked annoyed and/or disillusioned. No idea why unless he doesn’t like wearing a tie.

It looked serious enough to be a concern didn't it?
I was wondering if he'd heard we were confirmed as heading for a points deduction?

 

[AWetFlannel]

Any chance Seriki starts against the bottom of table team?

Has there been any indication that he wouldn't start if he was fit?

 

[Bladedog]

Can we try and start all home games with the same intent and purpose as Friday night..rather than fuckin about with the slow sideways backwards bollocks.

 

[peakblade]

How do you think those ultra loyal blades from the s2 forum would react if we ever had the misfortune to get relegated down to div 2 again ?

Thank you for these

 

[Scoips]

I think it was richblade who also asked the question about leaving one or two players upfield when defending a corner. I'd be very interested in hearing why we never do that.

 

[Silent Blade]

Not this again!

 

[Eric_Brooks]

Appeared to be in a mood even after we won (Don't mention Donovan )

He’s mythed that 3 can go into 2

 

[Uganda Blade]

Not this again!

If you’re not interested, don't bother reading the thread or posting on it.

 

[Bell4]

Not this again!

Just ask your question Silent

It’s a game changing opportunity

I have already answered this last week but it went over Uganda Blade 's head.

If I had the chance to ask Wilder a question, I would not try to insult his intelligence by questioning his team selection and tactics because I am not a qualified coach or know the fitness situation of our players, dont have the same knowledge as the coaching staff/analysis team about the opponent players or the system the opposing team plays. I dont know which players in the dressing room have the "right" character to be considered to play in the next match. My question to Wilder would be "Do you remember playing cricket against my team at Castledyke in 1995?"

Below is a a favourite story of mine when it comes to know it alls who try to question the manager or coaching staff etc.

Joe Mercer (our manager between 1955 and 1958 and later won trophies for Manchester City) shut up one of the SUFC directors who was questioning his tactics and team selections

Joe Mercer: What do you know about football, then?

SUFC Director: I have watched football for many years so I consider myself to be an expert
Joe Mercer: My wife has been sat next to me watching me driving my car for so many years, and she bloody still cannot drive!

Chris, do you want Carlton Blade's address?

Or a serious one.

With the dispute in the background still unresolved and the upcoming run of tough fixtutes, do the group feel any additional pressure to pick up points this week?

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

With Seriki returning to fitness, what do you see Choudharys role being in the future? Back up right back or back to his natural position in centre midfield?

This. 100%.

I'm sure it's possible for a knowledgeable amateur to ask insightful questions - albeit based on a necessarily limited understanding of the context of injuries, fitness, and any number of other factors - but I can't recall seeing a serious question here. It's all moans disguised as questions.

Why don't we leave a player up from a corner. Why didn't Wrexham leave a player up from a corner. If you're going to leave one player up from a corner, why not leave two, or three. Let's ask Gemini...

Yes, it is dangerous revealing inside knowledge when it comes to preparing for matches. If Wilder answers in white lies then I fully understand him and that is why there is strict security at the training ground

It didn't go over my head, Silent. I know exactly what your view is.
Which is not the same as mine and others who want to ask questions of the manager.
Clearly it hasn't occurred to you that some of us might want to understand his decisions as well as, perhaps, criticise them.
Having an enquiring or critical mind doesn't make someone a know-it-all.
So, please, take your patent lack of social skills back to your history threads, and peddle your anecdotes there.

You do not understand the importance of match preparation and it is hard for any manager to give you the answers you want. Alex Ferguson would have told you to ferk off and that would be a good answer!

 

[I should coco]

So, please, take your patent lack of social skills back to your history threads, and peddle your anecdotes there.

That is unbelivably insulting, to one of the most helpful, knowledgeable and generous posters on here.

I'd hope you can reflect on that, and maybe offer an olive trunk?
