The last 3 performances have been laughable.

[GymClassHero]

Reaching the end of my tether now. I've backed Wilder all season - yes he got us in to this position and for that he should get plaudits - but similarly he now must carry the can for absolutely fucking blowing it when just a week ago we could've gone 4 clear at top.

A few of my main gripes:

- Refusal to drop Robinson. Yes he tries hard etc etc, fact is he is NOT GOOD ENOUGH for this level. He has single handedly cost us at least 4 points this season and that is being conservative

- Not building on our advantage. How many times now have we snuck in front and then while we have momentum we just sit there and defend with no attacking intent. More alarmingly is that it doesn't seem to matter what the clock reads, whether it be the last 10 mins or we still have 70 left to play, if we go ahead we shut up shop. Fucking go for the kill, absolutely inexcusable when you are top 3 to sit back and cling on to a lead against relegation fodder. That's not entitlement it's fact, are budget blows teams like Plymouth out of the water and we should rightly expect to beat them.

- Insistence on playing Cannon. I don't have an axe to grind with Cannon, I feel we just don't play to his strengths but right now all that matters is it's not happening for him, so play a striker that looks like scoring... Especially at such a critical point in the season.

- Failure to bring in a Souttar replacement. Spaffed 10m on a striker we didn't need, when our stand out CB has just been injured. This just beggars belief, it doesn't take a master tactician to realize that performances will drop unless he is adequately replaced.

Really, really disappointed. As said credit to Wilder for the squad rebuild etc, but the past 3 results are on him.

Cracks that were once papered over are now revealing themselves.....we're not that good

We really should be with this squad though mate. That's the issue

Agree..but the eyes don't lie

Not laughing here

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Not one player would get into our starting 11, like Oxford . Yet.....

 

[SuperSonicBlade89]

No laughing matter.
I feel genuinely sick

It was the same when our entire system relied on O’Connell staying fit and we spunked millions on Second Division strikers.

It's either laugh or cry at this stage

It's absolutely insanity. Especially given that our tactics revolve around defending slender leads! That works when you're solid at the back, not when you have a dodgy CB who is liable to gift the opposition a goal.

He brings better strikers in for free than when he spends money.

Robinson has cost us 3 points today so your 4 is incredibly generous!

At fault for the corner and the injury to Souza. Missed his clearance for the goal. Gave away a needless free kick and got Clarke booked by attempting a Cruyff turn on the edge of his own box. Also misjudged one when he couldn’t kick with his right foot.

Enough is enough. Whatever we’re paying Holding should come out of Wilder’s wages. Totally pointless signing if you don’t drop Robbo after that display.

And why do we have to sub players off? Rak-Sakyi was winning his battle. Leave him on. He’s 22. He can play 90 minutes, I’m sure.

Lost all impetus.

That said I thought Hamer was absolute shite as well. He may have passed to Rak-Sakyi for the goal but number of times he wasted the ball.

Second time as well Campbell has chosen the wrong option. He had all the corner to aim for against Oxford and put it far too close to the keeper. Today, a poor touch and then he went near post? Why? There was a huge gap to the keeper’s right.

All in all it takes the pressure off now. Even if we won the remaining four, Leeds won’t take just 7 points from the remaining 12 with the fixtures they have. Likewise Burnley if they lose to us, will win the rest.

Play offs again. Oh joy. Finish 20 points ahead of 6th. They’re a joke. If we did squeeze past, you can guarantee Sunderland’s big game players would turn up.

He got things completely arse about face - signed a unfit CB on loan but splashed the cash on a striker. Should've loaned in a backup striker and pushed the boat out for Dunne or Tanganga.

The whole Robbo/Holding/defensive fiasco is on Wilder. He knows Robbo is liable to a huge fuck up so makes him captain. I cannot wrap my head around what Holding has to do to dislodge him

Given the goal difference, we can only go up if we win all 4 and either Burnley or Leeds get 6 or fewer points.

Vanishingly unlikely. Today was definitely last chance saloon for automatics. Oh well, we're due a play off win (joke).

Sorry I forgot to laugh, does that help
