Wilder just ‘gets it’

[Slim Man]

Whatever ‘it’ is. He fucking gets it.

It’s simply that simple, simply.

Something’s brewing…

 

[Bladezz]

Well said sir

 

[Gin&Juice]

The perfect away win. Just let them over play it, clinical and direct. Defence shut them out, other than McCallum neshing that cross, and getting quite rightly bollocked by every other player, we were so solid.

Arblaster looks so composed, we always looked a threat on the break and so far, Cooper is the first keeper i’ve seen in donkeys years that is calmness personified. Even Kenny and Hendo had their moments.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

It's great how he singles out the right player at the end of the game every time

 

[BouncinBlade]

nailed on. Epitome of 'the Blades'!

 

[HarryHaslam]

He got it spot on tonight tactically, subs were also spot on. Wilder masterclass

 

[BladeInIreland]

Normally one of the very few things I can be critical of wilder for. Like you say spot on tonight.

 

[Stretch]

You can tell that he has got into this group already, and the vibes are starting to feel like that first great team he put together.

.

Anel played bloody hell with him shows the player is back and getting his mojo back. Good on Anel for giving McCallum a bollocking.
Wilders subs around 60 minutes were perfect too finally no more subs 5 mins from end when we need them earlier.
Excellent win tonight and 3rd for a while.

Agree, but probably not the night for singling Arblaster out for praise.
Not one of his better performances, nor Souza. Both did OK without the ball, but struggled to get any control of the middle of the park.

Neither player should be undropable within games. Hamer can move centrally as we have plenty of wide options.

 

[jono_t2000]

Bergen Blade will have to walk us through it but felt like we changed formation 2 or 3 times that 2nd half.

Just as it was becoming a basketball match we brought on the subs to settle things down.

Wilder got it pretty much spot on tactically tonight.

 

[Matlockblade.]

I reckon, from what I've seen so far, we're going to do alright

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Comfortable, I never thought we’d concede tonight and always looked capable of scoring another.
A rather pleasant start to the weekend.

The 4-2-3-1 tends to turn into a 4-4-1-1 when we're ahead, certainly away. We kept that shape after making the three substitutions after about an hour. Brewster played just behind Moore with the wide men a bit deeper.

We got the second goal, but then Hull had their best spell of the game, putting some threatening balls into the box that had to be dealt with and of course the header that hit the bar was their best chance. Even with two left backs we couldn't quite stop crosses from that side and there was a need for another tweak.

It happened when Gilchrist went off. Brewster went to RM, Brooks LCM in a 4-5-1.



A few minutes later Shackleton came on for Moore, playing RM while Brewster went up front.

I think the tweaks during the game helped us, but I do think Wilder may have been criticised if that header had gone in. The 4-5-1 helped us regain control and we were quite comfortable the last few minutes.

Thanks, I had a feeling we may have gone to 4-5-1 and was probably the best formation whilst taking the lead but still having opportunity to counter.

Couldn’t have put it better! Wilder wants to take us on a journey, he’s got that fire in his belly, you can just see it!

 

[Bergen Blade]

There was a couple of corners after those subs, so it can be difficult to assess, but this is just before the goal and shows Brooks is wide right, McCallum wide left and Brewster behind Moore.



This from the 78th minute shows we are still lining up in a 4-4-1-1, midfield four highlighted:

Souza’s weakness is he can’t seem to pick a pass. So many times last night a pretty obvious forward pass was on, and he went safe.Other than that, much improved. Arblaster oozes quality even on a quiet night.

 

[bladesince64]

Souza,s passing game was off last night and a few went astray but credit to him he kept working and he is so strong physically and so good at breaking up the opposition attacks he is undroppable and got through a big mileage.

 

[ATL Recs]

Upto last night Souzas passing has been fine
He was getting more and more frustrated with himself as the game wore on

 

[Stretch]

I think his passing has been good in most games, but for some reason his radar was off last night, even for short passes at times. He was the same in the first half against Preston, but improved over the course of the match.

Agreed. I was referring to last night tbf, though didn’t make that clear.

 

[petcharlie]

I reckon, from what I've seen so far, we're going to do alright

I agree but might get tough when we get some injuries but having said that the bench looked strong even though the squad looks light .

 

[Bergen Blade]

True. Pass completion for last night here:

 

[Slim Man]

But then he recovers it just by being like a fucking bowling ball. It’s excellent.

Did Souza pass the ball to any of our players at any time in the match when under pressure ? His ability with th3 ball is poor. Good job he has other attributes !

 

[JJ Sefton]

It’s simply that simple, simply.

We’ve got our club back.

 

[luffenhamblade]

Just wondered where all the Wilder haters are? I'm sure they will be back when we draw or god forbid lose a match.

 

[s20Blade]

Always does well when the ownership of the club is uncertain and full of drama
