[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

What the fucks he took O’Hare off for??? And Arblasters still on? Jesus wept Wilder, have you lost the bastard plot?

Can be sure wilder is trying to get Arblaster as much appearance money as possible before he's written off.

 

[54yrblade]

Why can’t wilder just make subs at 45 mins as opposed to 60-65?!?

He perseveres with the same lineup hoping it changes when it’s not working first half

He's tactically inflexible and can't adapt his thinking in game.
'No plan B' ring any bells?

 

[Pintor75]

Even if we go on to wiin this it's only asking the fact that the coaching and tactics are not good enough

 

[Davalon]

Well barring anything unexpected tonight, at least I can put to bed my lingering hope of the play offs.

 

[SLB]

Well barring anything unexpected tonight, at least I can put to bed my lingering hope of the play offs.

I'm still worried about relegation.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Jeez, Cannon is back to being totally useless

 

[Jan Age]

That changing room will be full of shirts at this rate

 

[Sean Thornton]

Well barring anything unexpected tonight, at least I can put to bed my lingering hope of the play offs.

Probably do it a favour by putting a pillow over its face.

 

[SLB]

Be like Sports Direct by the end of the season.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Jeez, Cannon is back to being totally useless

Not his biggest fan but when he has to carry both Campbell and Campbells increasingly large arse it’s not that surprising.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

The goal has to be survival at this point.

Then we can get Wilder fucked off for the third and final time and move on as a club at last.

 

[ATL Recs]

The problem is games at any level are won and lost in midfield and we have 2 players in there who are babies learning the game one Donk’s back from a serious injury and the other a lengthy illness.

Arblaster is looking increasingly like he needs a lower league loan to get back to anything like he was.

How was he ? I seem to recall that in the 12 championship games he played last season he was poor in 4 of them

 

[Jan Age]

I’m not being funny but this club is rotting slowly

Our players are so out of shape it’s unreal.

Recruitment is well below standard.

The squad is about as far from a bunch of Sheffield United players as I can remember.

And the worst is I don’t think we’ve reached rock bottom yet.

This - 100 times

 

[Wetwang blade]

I think Mr Wilder should hang his own shirt up in the dressing room naughty corner.

 

[Jan Age]

How was he ? I seem to recall that in the 12 championship games he played last season he was poor in 4 of them

I thought he looked good alongside Souza

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

less then 10 minutes left, 1-0 down, show some fight ffs, don't look like even having a shot

 

[Northernsoulblade]

Np passing no passion no pace totally inept

 

[Esteban Cambiasso]

Playing like a side that has given up on the season

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

This has been absolutely awful.

 

[prescotblade]

Unfortunately we have very few back up players. Suspensions and injuries are not helping. Survival is our goal this season.
I also think Wilder knows this. He wants the best but the hangover from early season still lingers.
The club needs a rethink, if we are lööking at players this January we need to think of next season.
Struggle to see why some of our buys during the season are being shipped out without being given the opportunity, we can’t keep relying on loans. It leads to a rebuild every season. Guess that’s football these days

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

If we do stay up, another season of this? No thanks Chris. I’m just bored shitless and fed up watching this every week. I’ll go Saturday but in all honesty I can’t be fucking arsed. Someone needs to grab the Club by the scruff of the neck and shake up the fucker. Does he think tonight is acceptable? To those fans that have been tonight, most of them on a tiny fraction of what he’s on and earned from the Club over the years? If he’s got anything about him he’ll apologise for this pathetic showing tonight but he won’t. Time for a change but a well considered change, not a Selles one.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Is the last game of the season, with nothing to play for? Cause it looks it!!!

 

[JustLookin]

Can’t we sack this clown off and get Chris “One of us” Wilder in to save us?

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Can we not knock it

 

[Davalon]

If City players can refund their fans' match ticket cost......

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

This team didn't deserve that crowd reaction at Charlton after the shit they've produced for most of the season, 'effort' should be the bare minimum we get

 

[Jan Age]

Bamford had to score there … pathetic

 

[Notts Blade 123]

We have such an unlikeable team as well.

 

[Darren William]

If City players can refund their fans' match ticket cost......

Fucking hell bambi
