[espoo blade]

great start lads

 

[toledo]

You couldn't write this crap…..

 

[SharpAsAblade]

We really are quite bad aren’t we. Wilder got his cut out for him int summer

Work cut out for him *

 

[SLB]

We really are quite bad aren’t we. Wilder got his cut out for him int summer

Really looking forward to next season.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

We really are quite bad aren’t we. Wilder got his cut out for him int summer

If he's still here........

 

[Jan Age]

Backed ourselves in to a corner as a club really…

Made a terrible choice (Selles) to replace wilder although replacing wilder was the correct decision IMO.

Backed the terrible choice who then made terrible signings

Allowed AI to make terrible signings

Bought wilder back who has turned it around somewhat but through a mix of his own stubbornness, lack of tactical nouse and gutless players it has been inconsistent to say the least.

Now probably THE LEAST WORST CHOICE is to keep wilder at least until Xmas because I think anyone new coming in will not be backed so there’s no point

But wilder had to take ownership of the current predicament or we will be blaming Selles at Xmas 2026 and while that is the case we won’t move on

If he's still here........

This is it, it shouldn’t be a given. I don’t want him here but appreciate some do.

Surely COH will have an end of season assessment of Wilder and make decisions on the back of it. You can’t just let him carry on and spaff whatever money we do have left on further dross and continue serving up the awful football we’ve had to endure. He’s had 40 games and a January transfer window and I’ve seen absolutely nothing to suggest he deserves to carry on.

 

[toledo]

What’s our game plan?

 

[Farnboroughblade]

Egan scoring, old Billie scoring today. Where did it all go wrong?

 

[SLB]

What’s our game plan?

Transition,second balls, something, fuck knows.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

What’s our game plan?

Something about "getting it right in both boxes"

 

[gooseh]

please refer to my post on Wednesday about reminding the players the season isn't finished yet

 

[espoo blade]

How have we got so bad at defending corners again? ffs

 

[toledo]

I’m truly speechless at this freeking mess of a team …

 

[Jan Age]

Edited

How have we got so bad ?

 

[Matlock Blade]

We need to hear what the owner's plans are for next season. Less than a week for season ticket renewals.

 

[Willglynning]

If anyone genuinely thinks that Chris Wilder is the man to take this club forward, you want to give your head a wobble.

Abject.

 

[gooseh]

We need to hear what the owner's plans are for next season. Less than a week for season ticket renewals.

It's a surprise.

It involves AI and Ruben Selles

 

[Kenworthy’s Tash]

Truly awful, it’s gonna start becoming toxic at BL

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

This season can't end quick enough.
Buckle up Blades, we're well and truly back in the wilderness.

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

If you look at the line up Wilder will be hoping 7 out of the 11 will be here and be in his starting line up next season. It's slightly worrying isn't it....

 

[HackeyBlade]

We need to hear what the owner's plans are for next season. Less than a week for season ticket renewals.

Bold of you to assume they have one

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Was Lindsay McGuinness's man both times?

 

[Corkblade]

We're rubbish aren't we, however this ref is rubbish as well , Preston player should have been off for that challenge on Ollie

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Why the fuck is that joke of a player Tanganga still captain?

 

[toledo]

This is pug ugly

 

[SLB]

Something about "getting it right in both boxes"

He'll say something like that afterwards. Too slow in both boxes etc. as if it's nothing to do with him. He's good at distancing himself from bad performances.

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Don't worry, Chrisseh knows what needs to be done pre-season...

 

[The Crab]

If he's still here........

He’ll be here, we won’t be able to pay him up
