Typing this as I listen so might have missed the odd thing



Didn't deserve anything

Told the players what to expect but they must have had their earphones on

Didn't do enough, not effective enough

We couldn't cope with their style

Put 5 crosses in first half and nobody bust a gut to get on the end of it

Garbage to say it's because we changed the side

Wanted to play Stearman as they are a physical team. Maybe I made a mistake

Played Brooks as thought there would be space with them being at home

I don't take consolidation. We came here to win and we didn't do enough. Didn't represent the club today

Players have got ahead of themselves. Took their foot off the gas

We were outmuscled and out fought

Players have to liven up because I am really dissappointed

Performance was not what my teams are about and I didn't enjoy what I saw

Close to unacceptable . Our players were waving their arms in the air like they are big wigs

Might be changes on Friday. We need to do so much better
 



Just heard it on Radio Sheffield, barely concealed fury, seemed to be desperately trying not to use the term “big time Charlies”

I would not be surprised to see wholesale changes on Friday after listening to that.

Can see the likes of Carruthers, Donaldson, Wright, Moore, all coming in.

Just wondering who you would leave out for Donaldson? Léon? Can’t see them both playing together.
 
Yep pretty much how I saw it and many others. Refreshing to hear it actually said by the Gaffer.

We were beaten by a team that wanted it more and basically limped to defeat.

Worryingly we've gone from a bad defeat to Fulham (great character shown but really we were outclassed) to a dull draw with Brum to a spineless performance today.
 



The usual good reaction from Wilder.

Wilder. like any decent manager, invests a huge amount of trust in his players. Having provided exceptional direction since he's been here, today it seems we lacked what we've come to expect throughout the team. It happens with every team, and sometimes taking a deep breath, sending out a signal to all and sundry that the standards he expects need to be returned to pretty damn quick. If players give their all then it's clear that Wilder will support his players, but today is clearly one of those moments when Wilder needs to remind everyone of why, until now, we've done so well.

My belief in Wilder remains. I value his honesty and integrity. It's a pity the players chose to put on the shirt today and not appreciate what's required. I doubt that there will be anyone who considers today's performance as satisfactory, so out of a drop in standards I hope it'll see us return to the same dynamic style of play that's served us well so far.
 
What positives did you get out of that Chris?
Chris - are you still there?
Can you hear me?
 
Class interview (as ever). Seemed to pull himself up short a couple of time, as if to stop himself saying something a bit over the top?

One thing I'd criticise him for are the substitutions though - hardly surprising we were getting dominated by an upanattem side in midfield by the end when you've got three up top (with no-one to service them) and with two of your midfield three being Duffy and Brooks.

We're short of bodies right now but, by Christ, there are times when you could do with a Basham as an extra hand in midfield.

Thanks Roy, I've been missing these since Nigel Adkins stopped doing them.
 
We are suffering from the lack of investment in the summer. Too many of the ones who came in aren't ready for first team football (Henegan,Thomas ) or are injury prone (Evans, Baldock, Stearman, Donaldson) so now we need to fill gaps or change things we don't have the strength in depth.

Of all the permanent signings there's only Stevens who's played regularly, although Lundstram is starting to establish himself.

This has to be rectified in January otherwise as injuries and suspensions mount we will struggle to maintain a challenge
