you do acknowledge don’t you that we were looking like going down before he came in? Some bizarre short memories on here, we’d lost every single game before he came in, and every blade would’ve taken mid table.
So he gets a free pass for taking players who should’ve been performing anyway and making them win a few games?
Fine. Well done Wilder.
Now maybe we can address the consistent poor performances that were overlooked last season because we were marginally winning, the collapse and frankly embarrassing pre-match interviews where he disrespected the opposition, the complete lack of a plan and consistent absence of any form of squad discipline.
This season has been a joke managerially, and Selles was the wrong choice. Now, in context, he’d managed a handful of games and was trying something new, something we’d been crying out for. Wilder has come in done the bare minimum to ensure we’re a championship side next season, but his complete lack of idea on how to set up these players, never mind change a tactic on the fly, means we’re a weak, soft as shite lower half team.
Where’s the fight? Where’s the passion? And most crucially, where’s the fucking ACCOUNTABILITY? The first two are things Wilder is known for, be he looks devoid of ideas and happy to blame everyone else. It’s YOUR fault Wilder, you’re in charge of the team.
As fans we need patience over a season or two, to set the groundwork for a well run club. That starts with owners having a structure and not caving to poor results and running back to safe hands Wilder. It needs a manager who can mould what he has, not shrug his shoulders and walk away. It needs leaders on the pitch to grab these youngsters and guide their development, instead of being thrown under the bus when they naturally make mistakes.
Saturday versus Wrexham, we all knew what was going to happen. We all knew. Wilder isn’t stupid, he must’ve seen what we were seeing.
The difference is he’s in charge and can change it. We can’t.
