Wilder's a 3 goal manager now

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Today makes it 6 times in his last 16 games that we've scored 3 goals, going back to Bristol in the play off first leg

A big departure from everything we were basically all last season when we'd stop at 1 or 2

It'll be interesting to see if we keep this up at all or if it's just a fluke. Hopefully it's partly due to Wilder becoming a bit more ruthless

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

We’re so fucking back.

UTB

 

[Matlock Blade]

We've played 2 strikers in all our 3-0 games. Let's hope he keeps things the same and we'll quickly move up the table.

Bristol city not Bristol. We aren’t Sheffield.

Yep. Don't care

 

[Englebert Wincobank]

Love a bit of George Formby.

 

[Gavlar]

Yep. Don't care

So you’re happy with us being called Sheffield?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Of our last 8 games 7 have had a side score 3 goals.

Unfortunately 3 of them were against us in a week.

But it certainly isn't the 1 nil line some like to use!

I don't lose sleep over it

Wilder’s tactics were perfect today. The weakness Leicester fans talked about was exploited by playing quickly in behind them with both Cannon and Campbell on the shoulder.

Then switched to a midfield 5 to hold on and nullify their wingers (who are very good). One brilliant cross and a screamer from distance was all they had despite the territory.

But Leicester are a weird lot. Ridiculous squad for the level. But play like twats.

Agree the Leicester wingers are outstanding. That young lad Monga looks helluva prospect.

Mavididi, Monga and James looked decent. Astounding that they persist with Westergard, Farce and Thomas as the back. Also Begovic is too old for this level.

Doesn’t bother me because when folk do it they're always talking about us.

Being called Sheffield is something that irritates, but I can't stand it when we play Man U and the match commentators constantly refer to United being on the attack/defending when they mean the lot from the dark side of the Pennines.

I think we’re currently playing better than we did at any time last season, certainly in an attacking sense.

Apart from they're not. Plus there is a Sheffield fc.

Sheffield v Sheffield in the steel city derby.

I can 100% understand Sheffield FC being annoyed by it when we’re called it, but not when our fans get upset. They’re meaning us and it will wind the pigs up more. Win/win. .

Is Luke Thomas starting most games for them? Astonishing if so

Further evidence to your Leicester point, a couple of years ago they got relegated with Maddison, Tielemans and Harvey Barnes in midfield, and Vardy up front.

The pigs are referred to as Sheffield by other teams just as much as we are.

No their regular starter got. Sent off v Southampton

I reckon in a televised game where we are playing Stoke for example, if they say Sheffield its pretty clear who they are on about. If we were referred to as Sheffield non-contextually (e.g. the Sheffield manager Chris Wilder today said …), that would be a bit weird. But as far as I know, no one does that ever!

It’s just lazy and disingenuous. We have never been called Sheffield in our history. There is no football team called Bristol either. I will die on this hill.

Wilder seems to coach a two striker system so much better than anything else he’s tried.

That’s who we’ll be WHEN we get promoted….We might as well embrace it.

Why has it taken so long to go with it when most supporters know it's a better system

Definitely you could see as soon as we went 1 up top with Bamford we had no outlet. Apart from the fact the players sat back.

As long as Wilder's 3 goal manager keeps the other score less than 3.

Neither of those things will happen anytime soon.

3 goals is all the rage you know...Ruben Selles is also a 3 goal manager now...they won 3-2 at the weekend and it was his 3rd consecutive win as Zaragoza manager...there must be something in the air.
