Wilder............again.

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

Comes in, sees a dodgy keeper and brings in a new one. Not a big name, not a big reputation, but solid enough at this level. Gives the defence confidence and takes the pressure off.

Defence. Dodgy. Wilder has a look, bombs some out, brings in some unfancied players, including the tank, and all of a sudden we look solid. Keeping a clean sheet here and there and looking a lot better.

Midfield. The lightweight midfield doesn't look so poor any more. Shoring the defence up has allowed our midfielders to play a bit. Nice.

Strikers. We work hard, we make chances and we're working our bollocks off. (Just hope Clarke doesn't get near the first team, he's terrible for me and not what we need)

Wilder has made these changes. He's got us playing, working and actually believing again. Early days but fucking brilliant. What a transformation, he's a Blade and he's a Blade.

Well done Chris.

[BLADEBEER]

Perhaps we can start to dream again, I know, I know it's early doors but Saturday's are buzzing again.

 

[Stretch]

Agree with all of the OP except the opinion of Clarke. I honestly think he is the only missing ingredient. Reckon we will regularly dish out hammerings like today with him in a front 2.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Clarke when fit will struggle to get starts with our front two in good form. Both very good again today.

But he will feature from the bench and have some sort of impact.

I honestly hope you're right. Just never been a fan of him and always seen him as clumsy, lazy and a mardy arse. Not a day to be moaning about him though, too happy that we seem to be getting our identity back

 

[Bladesman]

Decent save in the 2nd half by Moore.

Seems reliable when called upon, as he did not have much to do at all today.

 

[TJB.]

Decent save in the 2nd half by Moore.

It was more than decent. To smother the ball as he did when a player has had that much space to put power into the shot is rather impressive.

Wasn;t he bought by the same bloke whose decisions you started off by praising?

 

[Worksop II]

Wilder even had time to have a go at Billy for a poor effort at a layoff .......

 

[Sheffsteel]

Regards our attack in face value I've not been impressed with Sharp or Done.

However Wilder is big on pressing, like Klopp at Liverpool.

Danial Sturbridge is a class striker but struggles to get into the LFC because of his work rate.

Got to hand it to Sharp and especially Done, they press and work so hard, hence why they stay in the team.

Think Clark will only play when we need a big target man up front.

Was it his only save? Can't really remember, as we were that solid in keeping them out!

Well I never, 10 out of 10 for an excellent spot, and here was me thinking Warnock signed him.

[Grappler]

There was one more, a kick straight at the keepers midsection, easily caught, that was it I think?

 

[Benny and the Blades]

Done and Sharp do put a lot of effort into it but miss far too many chances for me, 4-0 and niether one scored ?

 

[MightyBlades]

Best manager for the Blades since Neil Warnock, no doubt about that.

The things they both have in common?

They're both Sheffielders, they're both Blades, they both know how much it means to the fans, to play with passion and commitment.

 

[Bartyblade]

Well I never, 10 out of 10 for an excellent spot, and here was me thinking Warnock signed him.

Yeah, I try to keep my eye on things!
Was just wondering why, after praising Wilder for decisions so far, you singled Clarke out for criticism as if he was some sort of error of Wilders judgement?

 

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

Just not a fan of Clarke mate. Can understand the reasoning behind going for a big target man, disappointed it was the ex pig.

I'm happy as can be with Wilder and the chaps so far though, and long may that continue.

 

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

Shamelessly bumping this because Chris Wilder is fast becoming a fucking legend. What a way to build and run a football team. Two nowt up at home in a top of the table clash and we still don't sit back.

Top, top man.

We are gonna end up worshipping this fella.

Thank you so so much Mssrs Wilder & Knill.

Staggering transformation in such a short space of time.
