Yes he’s clearly partly at fault for it but far from the main culprit. The first manager appointment and our transfer business were the big start of the downfall. He’s inherited a bunch of players he had nothing to do with putting together and everyone can see the issues throughout the squad that weren’t addressed.

unbelievable. You carry on clapping our totally clueless manager

 

[Berkshire Blade]

O'hare really has impressed and improved in recent weeks

Where in any of the post did I do that ????

 

[Barnette]

One thing I will say... COH is trying his heart out and deserves credit

I don’t disagree with that.

But look at the players we have, most of them looked on paper like reasonable signings. I’d say there was enough there for Wilder to get a tune out of them. All he’s done is make performances a bit less shit, but it was a low bar. Results, the only stats that truly matter, are still poor

 

[gooseh]

See Luton for example. It doesn't take much for stuff to start to snowball

Everyone: a serous question from a 66 years supporter of SUFC, what is wrong with our club?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

At least super O'Hare has scored another goal for BLADES.

 

[Wetwang blade]

O'Hare deserved that one, the only united player that's trying.

 

[BangorBlade]

Fuming. We can’t carry on like this. SACK THE C**T ffs and stop living in the past

I honestly don't think it would matter which manager was at the Lane atm, the recruitment in the transfer window has proved to fcking shocking(not down to Wilder), so roll on JTW and hope Wilder can get rid of loanees and bring some firepower in.

Like Tom Cannon?

 

[paidsy]

Wilder wasn't left an easy tak by any means but he has to start owning some of this. There's been a slight improvement in performances but nothing major. The current setup just isn't working and we are leaking goals at will again. We have our best CB at RB and seem to have an allergy to passing it forwards again.

Wow, you’d trust that pillock with the JTW? His signings second time round were horrific, including this clubs worst ever transfer

I do get what you are saying and I agree I thought results would improve more than they have. I still think a big factor is that we haven’t replaced Souza in the middle, we are far too inexperienced and light weight in there and teams are running through us.

I Don't think the January transfer window needs an acronym at this point. I know society loves them

Wilder won't be going anywhere so it's hope for the best, not getting relegated will be a successful season as things stand lol

 

[K1 flabby stick]

Prediction: Relegation beckons … absolutely disastrous game plan today

They had a plan??

 

[bakewellblade]

Had he shat himself

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Had he shat himself

From experience, it looked like it

 

[Steve.C]

Wilder out!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

We can only hope Norwich and some one else goes into Administration cause we are going down.

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Cencede 3, concede in first minute of second half, show no urgency in the last 15 to get something out of the game. Like a replica of the Preston game, spineless cunts

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Relegation battle confirmed

We've just conceded 6 in 2 against two of the worst attacking sides in the division

Sell everyone of any serious value in January

Bring in some experienced heads to keep us up. Maybe even Jack Robinson

 

[ASTONBLADE]

It’s going to be a long hard season……

 

[Willglynning]

The only slight positive I can take from this is that maybe, just maybe, the Wilder sycophants might give their heads a wobble.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Shocking performance this afternoon against them rubbish .

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

You know deep down they won’t. They’ll do what Wilder does and just come up with excuses

 

[The Darton Blade]

The mistake wasn't getting rid of Wilder, he proved last season he bottles it when under pressure, but the appointment of Selles, if they had gone for another manager things would have been different

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Taking away the fact we absolutely gifted them two goals a draw would have been a fair result.

Once again I don’t think we won any crosses.
We have no one with any aerial ability up front.
Getting rid of Kieffer looks moore and moore (sorry) like a tragic error. Let him go for peanuts too.
We’re left with a forward line that is weaker than F.

We are horribly out of luck too.
Whether it’s Tanganga’s knee or a ghastly errant Peck backpass, nothing of that sort is going our way at the other end.

All in all it really does look like a relegation season. When you lose to a bunch of cloggers like Derby the writing is clearly on the wall.
We probably need to accept that now and survival is a bonus this year.

Have to say O’Hare was fabulous today. If only the rest put in half the amount of energy.

 

[Constantly Optimistic...]

O'Hare deserved that one, the only united player that's trying.

And if he has any sense he'll be off in January.
