Wilder OUT - megathread

[harrry1990s]

Boro have an excellent owner eh, that didn't help Wilder at Boro, in fact Wilder was sacked by Gibson with Boro in 22nd place

Sure, he’s still a good owner.

I’m not defending Wilder. I am just saying that the ownership problem is bigger than the manager problem at this moment in time.

Then what are we? Because we're sure as fuck not a "survival at all costs" side like CW is setting us up as

I'm hoping we're mid table and clear of danger and hopefully stay close enough to 8th to keep the season alive into spring. We're 3 games in and we are very short in certain areas. Today was terrible but we're at least grinning out results in this difficult spell.

 

[NerdyBlade]

What is it that you’re expecting us to get at the end of this season?

Realistically.

We are not one of the top 6 clubs at the moment, that may be difficult to accept but it’s where we are.

I don't expect us to be anywhere near the top 4, but you'd think with the squad we have and players we've got, top 8 is achievable.

Play like we have been, and we'll be lucky for 12th

Grinding out results? 7 shots on target. 2 goals. We're fucking dire offensively, and have a manager that seems to want us to sit back and defend while he makes random, nonsensical defensive substitutions

Are you honestly telling me with players as talented as Cooper, Bamford, Tanganga, COH ect that we should be a midtable side?

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

Yep, I won’t deny it is. I said as much on the shoutbox during the game….but it’s a point gained

We lack creativity badly and we clearly don’t have the money you need to sign those types of players unfortunately.

I think Wilder knows that & he’s gone for the tough to beat route.

Hopefully we can express ourselves a bit more at home. Still undefeated, reasons to be positive

Be astute and shrewd in the market then. Look elsewhere, unearth a gem. Wilder used to be fairly good at that. He’s fallen far beyond that now. Or the club have. We’re still a good loan option despite the off the field stuff. Donovan I like, even before Blackburn, but time will tell if that was a shrewd move. We need more of that elsewhere.

Penny has dropped with me after today.
.....Wilder is a Triceratops

Yep that's pretty much what grinding out results means. Again it's only 3 games in.

Are you honestly telling me with players as talented as Cooper, Bamford, Tanganga, COH ect that we should be a midtable side?

Yes I think our squad is a mid table squad certainly as it is right now

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

I dont think we are a team with aspirations of going up. I'm surprised you do

I’m of the aspiration that we make top 8 with the squad we have. Only Wilder will harm this aspiration hence my opinion on him.

 

[Houston_Blade]

And are you telling me that a team with aspirations of going up should look as bad as we have in those 3 league games?

I don’t think we should have aspirations of going up, mid table obscurity would be a bonus with the business we’ve done and the nonsense going on behind the scenes.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Top 8 is strong this year

Best we can hope for is about 10th

 

[metalblade]

While ever we have these clueless owners Wilder will get a free ride.

 

[NerdyBlade]

Yep that's pretty much what grinding out results means. Again it's only 3 games in.

The fact that you're happy with draws and our lack of offensive output is laughable

Yes I think our squad is a mid table squad certainly as it is right now

COH - one of the best attacking mids in the league. Bamford is a proven Champ goalscorer. Tanganga one of the best CBs in the league. Cooper on his day is a top 3 keeper in the league. Add in other talents like McCallum, Donovan, Burrows ect and we should be comfortably top 8.

It's nothing to do with finances or talent. It's tactics. And that falls on one man

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

I don’t think we should have aspirations of going up, mid table obscurity would be a bonus with the business we’ve done and the nonsense going on behind the scenes.

Why should the squad we have make you think we are only mid table?

 

[NerdyBlade]

Almost on cue - fucking Choudry.

Wilder will not take risks, he won't sign to develop, and he won't sign exciting. He'll sign the same players year in year out.

What's the definition of insanity again?

Wilder In has dropped to 80.5%!!!
