Wilders comments today

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

Thx for the comment

That guy hasn't got the nads to go back into his own dressing room, reyt leader.

Fucking hell.

 

[Jonboy]

a back 4 that simply can't defend. I don't know how you legislate for that as a manager

he's signed 3 of that back four!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

In summary he can't take the heat and bottled it. Reyt new leader, he'll walk before end of September.

Twitter... "Signings struggling to cope...."

I think the manager is STRUGGLING to cope more than the players.
The manager is the leader, if he can't lead, how can the players be expected to follow.
Blindly? Hoping that it might work?

Lots of football between today and end of September....
If the atmosphere is bad today and there's little significant improvement,
they'll all be struggling to cope... even more so.

Wonder if he regrets not going to Charlton Athletic?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Not spoken to the players after the game? Didn't want to go "steaming in"? Fuck me. What's up with Wilder? He's either clueless or spineless.

Or avoiding speaking out of turn, losing the dressing room and prioritising been more objective, rational and composed.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I thought it was a good interview with a measured response. When things are fucked up, you go away and figure out the answers. I think Wilder has the experience to do that.

 

[alcoblade]

I for one don't knock his approach - he's straight talking and considered, if we stick with him, that approach will do us good.

Sometimes this straight talking can go too far. Whether we like it or nott, lots of players need their egos stroking.

UTB

This is unnervingly similar to Mickey Adams spell at the Lane, the words and passion before a ball was kicked, the performances and results and worryingly the post-match interviews. He is visibly shaken, looks ill and if he can't compose himself to address his team at full time then he ain't going to last 2 minutes in the job. The pressure of the job seems too big for him to handle right now and as we are only 4 games in that is really alarming.

 

[Bartleby]

Wonder if he regrets not going to Charlton Athletic?

When he was first being touted for the job last season I said he'd be mad to leave Northampton for us.

Seemed to be doing everything right in terms of talking the talk, hitting the ground running on the clearout etc, but deary me this is a worry now, being below a team that did not exist in the football league 15 years ago. FC Sheffield United?

 

[Bladesince59]

Just heard the interview on radio Sheffield. He sounds like a broken man already.

Feel for him cause he is clearly in shock at just how bad it's going.

I think his tactics have been poor and we aren't getting the best out of the players available but the fact remains we've a back 4 that simply can't defend. I don't know how you legislate for that as a manager

You ask Colin how he managed it with Rotherham !

 

[zablade]

Just seen the interview on the OS, he looks dreadful, ill almost.

Now seriously concerned that those who said this job was too big for him may have been correct

Was thinking something similar, he looks like he has aged 20 years in the last 4 months. Would not be shocked to hear he had resigned sometime in the next week or so.

Yeah, same here. Thought it was a good interview & a totally reasonable approach to make. I mean, he did the "steaming in" bit on Tuesday, didn't he? - it's not that he's incapable of it.

Very worrying about prospects for signings though. He almost sounds resigned to it being the same squad for next week (which, with a reserve right-side centre-half, a semi-reserve leftback, a transfer listed right back, the incapable/uninfluential Basham all holding first team positions, is fucking depressing).

His all persona at the match today was a worry . Heard the bloke is giving the players a miss until Monday morning and not going back to Sheffield with the team

To me he is reflecting on his own future and wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't tender his resignation Next week.

The emotional side , responsibility is too much and I think he realises the mistake he has made . This is not going to work out with a happy ending.

Wilder and the club can still come out of the this with a bit of dignity.

Sadly shot and no were to go .

I'm feckin struggling to cope, just had to bandage cat back together.

I hadn't realised so many of us knew Wilder personally re many of the comments on Wilder's character. I think its wise to not go in after yet another defeat and just bollock them. I've only ever played ammeter team sport but the principle is the same that when you lose several games and confidence is low, the last thing you need is your manager shouting at the group and telling how crap they are or how crap the performance is. That WOULD lose the dressing room! Wilder gave them the bollocking on Tuesday and rightly so, but after the crushing blow of another defeat in the circumstances it happened I totally agree with Wilder that its time to not steam in there and give them both barrels. They'll all know that where we're at isn't good enough, but we were 5 minutes of a good point and its going to be small steps of improvement from the awful start we've had. Despite the result today is an improvement at a difficult place to go and now we'll hopefully get our first win v Oxford and go from there.

Its not the end of the world after 4 games, just look at Barnsley last season and where they were at Christmas. This is virtually a new side now and we need to give them time, including Wilder, who's record says to me that he knows what he's doing.

 

[Ted Hemsleys chads]

Warnock did that once. Didn't leave it till Monday though he made them come in Sunday, told them they'd fucked his weekend up so he thought he would fuck theirs up, then walked out again.

Wonder if he did that after Bolton away, or the Villa game, or the Wigan game, or any of the other games when he went all defensive and his negative tactics fucked us up?

He had his day, not every game was a win and it wasn't all scintillating stuff. Some of you would do well to remember that.

 

[Bladesince59]

Me too. It will cost us nowt - he will walk next month.

miaow.

 

[Reynoldo]

It seems to me that when you need a manager to show a pair of bollocks he's choosing not to. Then again, can he afford to go in all guns blazing when this might be all he has to work with, meaning that he doesn't want to upset any of the twats? Either way, we are well and truly fucked.

The majority of these "twats" are the ones he has brought in to fit into the way he wants to play - he needs to start with himself

Wilder, who's record says to me that he knows what he's doing.

Has Wilder got a better record at this level than Mr Nigel Clough and Mr Nigel Adkins?

Open Q? to everyone.

And what for the cat?

I agree mate, that's why I wrote the first sentence.

Euthanasia I really gave it some

[shorehamstreet1990]

It's a mix with this reaction from Wilder.
Half of me says that it's clever: he's probably already laid right into them after Southend and laying into them again, will it just deplete whatever confidence might have been raised by today?
Half of me says- fuck sake Tufty. If these players can't take the truth that they are playing for Sheffield United FC and being bottom of the third division isn't anywhere near good enough, then he can fuck off with the rest of them.

Hope he gets them in for Sunday training.

 

[Blade56]

Has Wilder got a better record at this level than Mr Nigel Clough and Mr Nigel Adkins?

Open Q? to everyone.

Well let's analyse that, 4 games is 12 points of which we've secured 1 at home after coming back and scoring with our only shot on target (2 further shots on target since), players wanting to leave (not his fault), players falling out, 4games 4 bollockings for players, picked wrong man as captain (fans appeasement choice), doing McCabes willing, narrowed pitch but playing hoof it ..... Oh I'm fed up thinking about it, depressing. TBH apart from blow smoke up fans arses I don't see what he's done right YET

Adkins specifically, it's not even close.

I agree with most of that actually. I think it's way too early to be going steaming in like that against a set of players that are so new to him and half of whom that he has signed, that was actually my point when I said about losing the dressing room.

I threw the Warnock example in gratuitously just because I like the story, not sure what club it was at where he did it

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

he's probably already laid right into them after Southend

Well.
It's.
Not.
Fuckin'.
Worked.
Has.
It?

that's a general comment, not aimed primarily at you Mr shorehamstreet1990
but you do see the point?

I know ya do...
You're a bright spark.
