Wilder presser

[luffenhamblade]

He did his best ever work for us without a notable budget, wheeling and dealing on the back of a couple of big sales along the way. Like you say, when he has cash to spend, he doesn't always get it right.

Bodes well for next season

Wilder persists with giving burrows 90 when the lad cannot defend. Hes great going forward but hjelde has been fine when hes played, just give an actual defensive person a chance to do some defending. Then we might keep a lead

The regression had a lot to do with McCallum’s injury followed by Wilder bringing in Hjelde and then deciding that he didn’t trust him.

McCallum’s been a bright spot this season - should be nailed on first choice LB next year.

 

[Yoonitedite]

I think he just wants the season to end so he can ditch half the squad and bring in more accomplished players and have a good pre season, which he indicated is already programmed .
His ability as a Championship manager will be tested in the next 6 months.

His ability to choose a captain with proper leadership qualities will be tested.
I won't be holding my breath.

 

[Bladesman]

Im a Wilder fan but this made me laugh..

I bet he ends up saying similar about Hjelde as well.

A player who would have likely helped us on Friday see out the match rather than watch Burrows struggle to take the skin off a rice pudding attempting to defend.

I thought the re build he did after the last relegation was one of his best ever achievements, considering how mentally destroyed that team was. But arguably this summer is his biggest challenge yet. Presumably his budget will be significantly reduced, and it's a near certainty we are going to lose some of our most talented players to fund incomings. Hamer being a case in point. Despite the howling miss, we saw the absolute best of what he can do yesterday. Players like him are not easily replaced.

He did have the third biggest budget in the division so achieved what he should have - he won’t have that this summer

It’s a bit like the Holding situation last season.

Obviously Wilder sees them train and knows what they’re like, but it seems strange that we have a ready made defensive LB and we’re not using him to see games out.

Even if Holding wasnt training much when he came last season or putting effort it, when he played you could see he was levels about Robbo.

I dont even think it was about match fitness either, he played a 85 min game? And he was pretty much excellent (without showing signs of struggling). Just strange from wilder to stick with his mate and his pet at the time.

I've not watched a Wilder post match interview in ages, is it still "fine margins" separating us?!

Your not missing a thing pal, regarding his post match interviews, somebody else's fault apparently

You think the narrative of blaming selles and the board a bit lazy and convenient, that is the most stupid comment I have heard on here.
