I have no confidence in this team for the playoffs if they don't turn this around quick.

Think they need to get rid of wilder and hope for the new manager bounce for the playoffs .. like you I've no idea what he's trying to do and I don't think he does either

This is like watching a game at the special Olympics with a ball with a bell in it

[bartman]

Choudhury is a terrible right back

And yet he has done OK so far

 

[Champagneblade]

Think I’d rather Brereton-Diaz on the left and be a little more direct.

Gus is having one of those neither here nor there matches.

Must have a pass completion below 50% at the moment.

 

[jalfie69]

How is brewster better than o'hare????

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Robinson not engaging in any of the clapping back to the crowd as the subs went off. Clearly not taken the criticism well.

And I couldn't give a fuck about him.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Total shite so far, what are we even trying to do

 

[Not so Slim ane]

How is brewster better than o'hare????

Just thinking the same..

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

It's either a case that Wilder is communicating his tactics etc very clearly on the training ground and the players aren't following them through on the pitch. If this is the case then we need to accept that we don't have one of the best squads in the division and that we have a team full of thick numpties and Wilder is an incredible manager to achieve what he has this season with a team full of brainless morons.

Or.

The players are good enough but they're confused by the tactics, formation and their roles and Wilder isn't communicating this clearly enough on the training ground. If this is the case, baring in mind he brought in just about every player into the first team with the exception of Souza, Anel, Hamer and Robinson, three of which are our best players and weren't signed by him, then it's Wilder out at the end of the season as he can't get a consistent tune out of a team that he built.

 

[54yrblade]

Couldn’t give a shit to be honest. Blokes proper gash.

Reality - he's played at and above his limitations for a long time now. He's given everything but the failure to plan medium to long term has left him up against it.

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Lolz...goooaaall!

 

[gooseh]

Oh my, a goal

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Hamer SCORES for Blades. Come on Utd

100%
You would have to be on meds to think wilder could get us through the playoffs now.

Just been texted by someone who is there who only just realised he’s in the field. Wilder, do one with your love child.

 

[paidsy]

Papering over the cracks with that goal

 

[Champagneblade]

Called it.

Having a blinder

 

[fifty shades of blade]

I love how much that goal hurt don goodman

 

[North Riding Blade]

And yet he has done OK so far

You havn't read the script have you? He's shite and is going to give a penalty away in a bit.

 

[SUFCinks]

Get in!

Not enjoying the performance so far but can’t complain at the goal.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[espoo blade]

When the ball's actually come to him he's done ok. Involved in the build-up to the goal. Not his fault the ball's been bypassing him all game.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Choudhury is a terrible right back

Why, what's he done wrong? Apart from nothing.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Why, what's he done wrong? Apart from nothing.

Just constantly passes back, let them get past him a couple of times ... Looks a nothing player at right back imo

 

[gooseh]

Great tackle

I'm having to listen on Talkshite but it sounds like he's having a good game.

 

[Not so Slim ane]

Great tackle

Shouldn't need to make it, his positioning was terrible to start... If Choudhury is that out of position against Burnley it's a goal

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Trying to keep my perspective alive but I have to ask: what is our tactical structure because I am simply not seeing it.

We are playing like a mid table team with nothing to play for.

Or put bluntly, a terrible show against an awful team.
