Wilder just ‘gets it’

by my reckoning we had AA,blaster, Vini & Hamer stating from last season.

Will take time to gel, but no defeat in 5 when bedding in a 60% new team is decent going imo

Wasn’t on the CW return bus, but signings performance and fight is winning me over

And all those 4 were subject to strong transfer rumours. Realistically, perhaps apart from Blaster, all could have left us right up until Deadline Day.
 
I don't think we can have too many complaints at this point, considering that we've come from absolute rock bottom in terms of morale and results to starting the season unbeaten in a completely unpredictable league.

Look at Luton, they've carried on from where they left off last season and there were plenty of predictions before a ball was kicked that we'd go the same way, myself included.

The only issue that can end up coming our way are injuries and suspensions as we head into the winter and whether the likes of Peck, Seriki, Marsh etc can step in and make the jump for a few consecutive games because of the lack of depth in some positions. If they can, we've not got much to worry about. For what its worth, I think Peck definitely has enough about him to make a place in the team his own over the next season or so.

If Moore comes a cropper at any point, that's where we could come unstuck but is again a chance for Campbell and Brewster to prove themselves, especially Brewster who is playing for a deal for next year so its in his interest to get himself into gear.
 
I like wilder a lot . He obviously loves this club and it’s genuine. I know that for a fact because he’s a good mate of my brothers. I just think he might not be quite good enough for the Premier league. I bit too old fashioned for it. Along with Knill. However there is no denying he has done a good job over the summer and deserves a fair crack this season and maybe beyond. After that we shall see.
 
A huge job with all of the outgoings and incomings to bring a unity to the team, and then between the team and the fans. Think he was always the perfect man for it.

Think he did a hell of a job this summer when listening to the incomings speak about him. May not be enough, but we're starting to feel "as one" again.
 
That’s nothing to do with it. It’s the connection to the club and the group.

It's everything to do with it. You think people would be singing for Anel and Wilder pushing him forward if we were losing every week?

So you're not giving Wilder any credit for what he's done and doing with the club in such uncertain times?

Luton haven't come down and cracked the league a new un. I think you have to give plenty of credit, now just go 'wahhh, it's an easier league'

is Wilder doing well? yes
is it very early in the season? yes
is it an easier division than last season? yes
Does Wilder have some mysterious intangible quality that he did not possess last season when he did a bad job? No
 
"it" is primarily managing in an easier league than last season.
I think you're missing the point, as many have said on this thread, we were in an easier league under Heckingbottom and even got promoted, yet it was never the same.

Obviously winning creates a better atmosphere, but that's not where it ends.

It's the squad. It's the squads connection to the fans.
He gets us. Simple as that.

Hecky never had the fans feeling like Wilder could and has, despite similarly impressive results. There wasn't the sort of connection you can already see building to that side bar a couple of players - why?

If Leicester, Southampton and Ipswich all come back down with less than 30 points, would this seasons Championship still be an easier league than last season?
 
It’s something we never had with Hecky, in a weird way. And I never understood why beside the fact that the football was largely very dull. But I just didn’t feel like I do now.
Ya nailed the reasoning - until Norwood was binned off for Doyle, we basically bored the oppo into submission for 6 months of the season.

You've lost me there mate haha. It would be easier than the Premier League, yes.
 
This isn't true is it.
This isn't true is it.
Depends how you frame it. I do appreciate the younger end of the spectrum tend to use the words; love and hate instead of the less dramatic; like and dislike, and yes, a few on here obviously don’t care much for Chris. But I’d stake the farm that every last one of them…would love to be proved wrong.
 
I don't understand why with some everything has to be so dichotomous.
To some any criticism of wilder is seen as sacrilegious.
I don't think any blades hate wilder ,he has streangths and weaknesses like everyone .
The season has started well for him and the team and we all want that to continue, he's done a good job this season so far , the quality of the league or opposition is irrelevant, you can only play what's in front of you. Credit to him

I don't get the love in some have with CW , it's all a bit Wednesdayesque and how Danny is the second coming , all his faults are blamed on the chairman etc,embarrassing.

Like anything let's keep in perspective .

spot on . injuries could be our downfall having a thin squad but the young'uns look pretty handy . Also agree about Brewster ,this season is very important for the lad ,it could be a career changer for him one way or another . Hope his luck changes he deserves a bit of good fortune .

Two different types .Hecky was a laid back type of person Wilder is more up beat type and more up front . Would Hecky have pushed Anel to the front of the players and towards the fans to receive his plaudits on Friday night? May be not ,Hecky was a low profile type of person where as Wilder wears his heart on his sleeve for all to see. I think this side of him comes across to fans and as a result the fans connect to him in a way that makes him one of them ,a true Blade .
 
After last year and with the uncertainty of ownership, I think Wilder has given us what we needed, a blades team to get behind.

Of courses its about winning but I don't think all of us are desperate to be back in the PL next season, which means that he had to assemble a team that would reconnect and win more games than we lose. Not necessarily compete to win the league.

If we do, its a nice bonus rather than a win at all costs which was the challenge that Hecky had (and I don't mean that as a criticism, as he had to get us promoted otherwise the clubs finances were at risk...)

This squad looks like it is a good squad, I don't think many other managers would have assembled this side and got them playing like they are.

I agree 💯 with this. CW understands the importance of creating that connection between fans and team more than any other manager of the Blades save maybe Harry Bassett. I am glad he pushed Anel forward on Friday night, Anel needed to feel the love after what has been undeniably a very difficult time for him and his wife. Superb man management imo and something that is so important but so ofter over-looked. 👍

Spot on What he did on Friday night was a superb bit of man managing .I think that will have done the player a world of good plus it did a lot to cement the relationship between fans and the players . Wilder is second to none with this sort of thing and that's why he gets the best out of his players .

Hecky brought the lad in never mind pushed him towards the fans

Man management is important but the game’s moved on. If you don’t tactically outwit your opposition by being fitter and stronger and aware of their weaknesses then you lose. This sort of thing takes days in prep rooms training ground and treatment rooms gone are the days when cloughie never mind wilder could walk in.
 
NO doubt the game as moved on but human nature stays the same . Most people react favourably to been treated with care and understanding and support . You catch more flies with jam than you do with vinegar .
