Yes he did. I was a bit critical of the substitutions at the time thinking they were a bit negative but Arblaster, Hoever and Hjelde helped shore up the game. Campbell should have scored near the end.
Soumare, he makes me happy

Why do you want to do this shit? Arblaster is a Blade through and through, an academy product with a huge future.
The son-in-law carry-on is awful.
Just can't get my head around a Blade playing that card against one of our own.
We've just beaten Wednesday and relegated them but that's your focus?

Wilder made what in my view was a sentimental substitution and I am merely stating this view on an appropriate thread. Sorry

He wasn't on for long, but Soumaré looked very sure-footed and caused their defence problems late on. Who knows, he may even have been fasting. UTB

I thought Soumare looked good when he came on but hes probably lost a bit of trust after the Charlton sending off. We know Blaster isnt going to be to top form until next season. In the absence of Rothwell, Phillips and Davies....and I assume Jairo as he wasnt on the bench ...CW has some big decisions to make.
I personally would go with Soumare on Weds v Coventry as I can see us having to do a lot of running in that match. Id then start Blaster v QPR on Saturday. We need to pray thst Peck is up to 3 games in 6 days as we dont have many other options.

Sentimental because he's a Blade or because he's the "son-in-law?"

Anybody having a pop at blaster needs a serious head wobble
Soumare looked good - be starts his move great but sometimes its his end product - he’ll win the ball make a nice little run then miss place the pass for example . He keeps the ball too long sometimes and needs to learn to pass to someone before he loses it. He does execute the odd time a good pass, shot etc but needs to be more consistent with his end product imo

When Soumare came on as sub a few of us were saying we were worried.
Fair enough, he’s shown flashes of quality but generally struggled….its as though he can’t adjust to the speed and physicality of the English game. However he was excellent after coming on as sub…..showed great composure when it was required and he nicked the ball a few times.
We’ve all agreed he’s generally not good enough but you do feel there’s a quality player in there.
Glad I’m not making the decision whether to keep him or not for next season because he’s never average.
He’s nearly always poor with 15 minute spells of being really good/ impressive.
If the price was right I'd sign him as he could potentially become our next 'Souza' type midfielder. However, I think the fee is around 8m if we were promoted. He's nowhere near worth that atm.
I think the best we've seen of him was the 1st half against West Brom in my opinion. Thought he was running the show and the only player that looked decent for us that game.

Thought he did ok when he came on.
Broke up their midfield possession and got stuck in.

No way was that a sentimental substitute, Wilder did what he thought best for the team for the result.
Wilder smashed Wednesday 11 v 11 and 10 v 10. He also handled substitutions very well. Everyone who came on did well. For game management Wilder gets 9/10 to say otherwise is just historical bias because you’ve made your mind up you don’t like him.
Whereas I hope to see pictures of him singing whilst stood on a table in his pub tonight.

Probably right but to be fair to him that cameo was excellent. And he rightly deserves a bench spot.
He’s got a lot of potential and all the physical attributes to be an absolutely top drawer box to box midfielder at championship level.
As his buy option is €8m I can’t see him ever getting the opportunity to realise it with us.
He’s a 2-3 year long project and we need here and now for €8 mil.
Look at how long Brooks and Seriki have taken to really get to grips with the championship.
Shame, cos I actually like Soumare.

Is it a case of finding the right partner for him, in the right midfield and then take it from there.
We do have a lot of midfielders and due to injury, suspension etc I would be surprised if he has played with the same partner more than one game in a row.
This could be said of all our midfielders

The 8m euros obligation to buy is only if we are promoted. If we aren't promoted then we can make an offer. At the right price and wages I hope we can get him. I think he has the potential to be a decent player and will improve each season.
But what would we pay for a development midfielder in the championship after parachute payments dry up in the summer?
A million? Two?
Are they realistically going to accept that, after valuing him at €8m last summer?
I’d like to keep him, just seems unlikely and not a priority.

Don’t feel a need to pick on Arblaster or Soumaré. Why do we need a scapegoat?
Good management by Wilder to bring him on. After the comment by Danny Hall, it was nice to see him given support.
He now has 2 more derby wins than Barry Bannan!

Arblaster has struggled recently, we know he isn't fully recovered. That is why I didn't think he was the right choice at the time. Having said that, I'm not sure who he could have brought on instead? Nepatism involved? maybe. but not a factor if there was little alternative.

Soumare is raw but he's definitely got something. If the purchase price at end of season is low I'd have him, another season with Al & Chris and this kid will shine.

Soumaré was excellent when he came on. Pressured their players, forced mistakes, drove forward. Made the wrong choice with the shot at the end after a good run, even if he did nearly get lucky with the deflection but the same could be said of Arblaster (delayed the pass to Peck for too long) and Campbell (shot too close to Dieng).
