0- 2 down not a shot on target, sorry to say im starting to move into the Wilder needs to go side.

0- 2 down not a shot on target, sorry to say im starting to move into the Wilder needs to go side.

Its not wilder that needs questioning it's certain players.

 

[Hallam Blade]

Can't believe i'm getting sun burn for.this.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Just like our pre season good form I am not reading anything into these meaningless games. Just want this season to be forgotten.

Those two lankshear goals v pigs. Wow.

 

[SLB]

0- 2 down not a shot on target, sorry to say im starting to move into the Wilder needs to go side.

Haven't you heard? Selles is to blame.

 

[calcalcal]

Defensively crap
Aerially crap
Massive changes needed
Not physically strong enough
I have predicted us 17th or 18th next season. Based on this shambles thats optimistic

 

[The Crab]

Piss poor decision making by people who should know better

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

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.

Its like him admitting every game in the championship is a coin toss, and we have to accept this.
Personally I want us to strive for more than this

 

[The Crab]

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....

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Poor poor defending from corners that has lead to both PNE goals. Sort it out Wilder or you might as well go because you are useless at the moment

 

[Shawy24]

Andre Brooks (Knee) and Tyler Bindon (Ankle) are both unavailable for today’s match after picking up injuries in training.

Midfield screams out that Wilder hasn’t learned anything. Get rid

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Insulting this now.

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Its not wilder that needs questioning it's certain players.

Do you genuinely believe that? You think Wilder shouldn't be questioned?

Can't believe a coach on £1m+ per season can't get a better tune out of Arblaster, Peck, O'Hare and Hamer....

 

[Matlock Blade]

I'm glad I wasn't able to attend today. My season ticket is a few rows behind where that twat Wilder stands.

 

[Stevo71]

Do you genuinely believe that? You think Wilder shouldn't be questioned?

Yup, I'll see what will happen in the summer and see what players come in that are willing to play for him.

 

[skegblade]

Who his nibs chooses to play

 

[Foxy]

GOAL! L. Lindsay 5' (assist: J. Thompson) | Sheffield Utd 0-2 Preston

 

[54yrblade]

No more 'one of our own' bullsh*t. He needs to fully own the performances and pay the price.

A brilliant ride from 2016 to the PL but thanks Chris. Your legacy was secured back then but your ego and declining ability got in the way. You spoiled it.

Please go and take your passive aggressive, Sunday league attitude, 'its not me guv' clichés and leave.

We've had enough of you.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Bloody Cannon has been nonexistent this half..

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

He got 92 points once so accept bad results unconditionally.

 

[luffenhamblade]

Do you genuinely believe that? You think Wilder shouldn't be questioned?

Both have got a lot to answer for - thsi is absolutely dire.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

He got 92 points once so accept bad results unconditionally.

And he's managed over 1000 games

 

[Foxy]

HALF TIME | Sheffield Utd 0-2 Preston

 

[toledo]

Awful, awful, just plain awful performance

 

[54yrblade]

If it was any other manager we'd be chanting him out.

Apathy, empty seats and silence can be just as powerful. It speaks volumes.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Its just dawned on me we have conceded 5 goals so far to a Heckingbottom managed side who we all know is an extremely defensive minded manager

 

[PrestwichBlade]

Yup, I'll see what will happen in the summer and see what players come in that are willing to play for him.

And sleepwalking into next season with eyes closed and fingers crossed that he manages to rekindle something from c6 years ago, despite all evidence to the contrary. I admire your optimism,but it ain't happening I'm afraid.

 

[The Crab]

And he's managed over 1000 games

An admirable achievement, it would be churlish to call it anything else.

But how’s that helping us now?
