Reflections.....

[Torrix1889]

I was and am still 100% Wilder out, we needed change, we needed to get away from the Bladey Blade way and move forward.

I was optimistic about Selles, just like the new guy we took on at work last week, he has all the credentials and talks the talk.

We have lost a few team players, we are trying to integrate some new guys to work in a new system.

It's not working though, in fact it's shambolic.

Football is a business these days and if business is failing, you make changes.

The Manager of our business is failing and he obviously doesn't have a clue how to turn things around.

If it wasn't for Tanganga today it would have been a heavy defeat so what does our Manager do..he puts a striker on the pitch in Cannon who is about as useful as a condom at a Bonnie Blue orgy.

Selles has to go.

If Hamer is staying the build the team around him and O'Hare, they were brilliant together for Coventry so no reason why we couldn't replicate that. At the moment though in the system Selles is playing, those two are our biggest weakness.

After that then let's get the basics right, Cooper is obvious. Right back is weak, maybe the Korean lad if he comes in? Binden is poor, Tanganga looks awesome, Burrows has been awful.

Peck is no way near the player he was with Vini alongside him, why has Soumare been left on the bench?

Not convinced by Barry or Brooks on the wing, both of whom seem scared of getting chalk on their boots, getting down the touchline and getting a cross in.

Cannon is shocking, if we can get rid before Monday then do it.

Campbell looks half arsed.

Something needs to change and quick.

Selles out.

 

[lepton blade]

My reflection is that if Selles is still in charge next home game, the minute we go 1-0 down, the old Wilder songs will start getting sung and the entire atmosphere will become unbearable and utterly toxic.
I for one will be singing pro Wilder songs in this scenario.

 

[Sparky The Blade]

I feel a bit sorry for Sellès, he’s quite likeable but I think that’s because he’s s bit like a wee boy trying to make it in a man’s world.

Especially after Wilder, we needed a strong manager, someone who was going to grab the club by the scruff of the neck and take us forward, it appears COH don’t want a manager like that and I see no point in getting rid of Sellès if a similar appointment is going to be made.

Never mind Wilder, there is a case for singing 'there's only one Nigel Adkins'

I would have thought a condom at a bonnie blue orgy was an absolute necessity

Ive been singing pro Wilder songs today around the house, the wife has not been happy

 

[Sean Thornton]

She probably understands football

 

[Snake]

I would have thought a condom at a bonnie blue orgy was an absolute necessity

If Selles was picking the participants, you'd probably end up with Barry Blue

 

[b1ade4life]

She probably understands football

Even she doesn't understand how a manager who rebuilds whole squad, gets 92 points and is robbed in a playoff final then gets the sack for a manager who has no championship promotion credentials and has been firefighting his whole career then gets the job

 

[blAdes96]

I was and am still 100% Wilder out, we needed change, we needed to get away from the Bladey Blade way and move forward.

Did we really need to make that change? After collecting 92 points, all be it for playoff heartbreak, again. We'd have just dusted ourselves off and gone again...

You can be Wilder out, you're entitled to your opinion.

Player confidence in Wilder would have remained at the level, Wilder's confidence in the majority of players - the same. Business likely would have been the same...

We now create 0 goal threat, we are too easy to play through and a shell of the defensive strength is on display. Results are what matters & grass has shown it isn't greener with Selles, We are all begging for "crappy, scrappy 1-0 wins" again...

 

[Bladepicker]

...plump for non attendance.

It's ok Sean I believe she will shag fat blokes too.

 

[Sean Thornton]

I’ve never liked you……..

 

[Æthelstan]

Does he have all the credentials? All I remember is that he did alright at Reading, and was useless at Hull to the point their fans seem to dislike him.

In which case we will be playing third division football this time next year.

 

[Racing Blade]

I think there's a case for giving Selles a couple more games. We've just lost three games by a 1-0 scoreline which, in itself, shouldn't be a 'sackable offence'. Albeit we deserved to lose all three.

He has the glaringly obvious issue to fix, namely the ridiculous amount of space teams have in transition, particularly in wide areas. I reckon every right sided midfielder/winger/wing back will have recorded a minimum 8 out of 10 performance against us thus far and has had a field day.

For me, in this system, it's impractical to play both Hamer and O'Hare, counter intuitive as that may be given their obvious, time served understanding. We need two deep lying midfielders, who can drift wide into those gaping holes. Soumare was brought in to do the job Sousa did so well, so needs to be given the chance to and be coached to do it.

Selles has two weeks to work on it and get it right. If he does, we have enough talent elsewhere in the squad to start getting results.

A heavy defeat at Ipswich, or a home defeat to Charlton, particularly with no evidence of progress in fixing the main issue and it will be time to go.

Not sacking him now will only compound the shambles,
Changing now would give a new manager time over the international break to at least work on a credible defence strategy that might just scrape us a point,somthing selles is not capable of.

The only team to achieve 92 points with under 1.4 goals per game. It was a 60 point season but we had a lot of shite performances and a lot of luck.

And "robbed in a playoff final"? Are you serious? We deserved to lose. Barely touched the ball in the second half. Crap substitutions. It was awful management considering Sunderland didn't lay a glove on us in the first half.

Whereas this season …..

 

[Nedski]

Whereas this season …..

It's the reality of a disjointed team full of players that don't have an actual position ending up being square pegs in round holes.

It's the exact same situation we had with Slav. Wilder's DNA is embedded deep with Sheffield United. It will take a few transfer windows to extract it no matter who is in charge

And yet with the bladey blade way we have had the best period of success in the last 30 (if not more) years. I'm not against change but this is a total shit show.

 

[AWetFlannel]

I was and am still 100% Wilder out, we needed change, we needed to get away from the Bladey Blade way and move forward.

Probably the most depressing aspect of recent seasons is the rejection of our club identity, a thing most clubs dream of. To "move forward" we need to reject the identity that got us back up to the top and try to do what everyone else does.

Having a blade as manager, a squad of players who gave a shit, and a team that we could identify with might be great, but it can't possibly work... Yet it did. We overachieved as much as anyone has done in recent decades.

But fuck it. Burn it all down. Take the piss out of our own identity and bring in a sexy, forward thinking manager and players we've never heard of. Might have worked for some, but it fails for most.

 

[Arcott]

The main issue i have is starting with a lineup EVERY body has seen doesn't work and then the reluctantance to change it. The midfield formation is a complete disaster, Barry and Bindon are so far showing they are league 1 at best. One is NOT a winger ( neither is cannon). Peck is not a holding midfielder. Play a formation that suits the players you have. Too much change all at one produces the car crash we have now, Slav2.0. Any half decent coach sees the midfield being overwhelmed and the likes of Brooks and Bindon casually jogging back, he makes formational/personal changes. Selles changes the wingers not central midfield where the biggest problem is. He is either completely inept or the stubbornness of wilder that everyone slagged off.

 

[Arcott]

Also think everything went wrong in the BC game. Lost the dressing room with the bizarre rant in public at the end of the game, you could see half the team thought 'what a cock'. We had done enough to win the game by halftime (then threw in the towel 2nd half). Keep the bollocking in the dressing room (if it was even needed). Just think it was one of those games.

Absolutely unbelievable mate, just where did these puppets in charge get this guy from. I'm afraid they need to come out from under the shell and do some talking.

Correct... Wilder fans just want to hang on to his shirt tails! Mainly forgetting his bolloxs up from January onwards! The unprofessional fighting resulting in nearly £500000 worth of fines! The signing of probably the worst player we've ever had in Cannon, & making sure that thug Robinson gets another contract! And last but not least the utter bolloxs up of the playoff final!

Cooper would be good and obvious I suppose as he is unemployed at the moment and has done a job with forest in the past, yes he would be fine. Mark Robins would be my shout if he would leave Stoke for us...doubt it

Mel Bobbins ha not sine anything to get a team promoted out of this league, if you want mid table mediocrity then fine.
