we're not going down now. we may as well go for it.. i'm worried some of them are 'on the beach'
 



I agree with Wilder.

The match tonight was a lot like the qpr game. Frantic is the best word to describe it.

I don't think, even if we got on the playoffs, we'd have enough to get over the line. Gut feeling.

That said, We got the breaks on Tuesday. Hull got the breaks tonight. It's the same in most championship games, everyone can beat everyone, everyone can look great one week, and shit the next.
 
He stole all the words straight from my lips. He is a fan so he expresses himself just like us. An absolute million miles from what Adkin used to tell us. He pissed down our necks and told us it was raining.

He also said only Sharp and Clarke deserve any credit tonight

Eh. Clarke must have something on him then Roy and Billy wasn’t much better.

Blackman and maybe Basham are the only two players worth more than a 3.
 
100% correct from Wilder, this team is nowhere near good enough to make the playoffs. The fact that Wilder has had them in with a chance in late February is a miracle.

With the exception of maybe 3 or 4 players, these players would not even make the bench at other championship clubs and many would be still in league one.
 
Love Wilder's interview. It Shakes the players out of their coma, lulls the other playoff contenders into a false sense of security , great negative psychology ;).

My thoughts...

1. Something is not right behind the scenes.

2. It needs sorting quickly

3. For the first time I now seriously think we may lose CW at the end of the season.

It’s gotta be incredibly frustrating for Wilder because he knows as well as the rest of us that with a mid table Championship budget he could easily get us promoted.
 
Why have we suddenly changed our up and at 'em dynamic style, when was the last time O'Connell overlapped Stevens and whipped the ball in, same with Basham and Baldock. The movement is very poor and our build up play very pedestrian and predictable. We don't close the opposition down like we were doing, we don't hassle and hurry them into mistakes, that energetic style is what got us to where we are and it is the only way we will reach the top six.

We had no cutting edge tonight, nobody created any space until Duffy came on and introduced a bit of the unexpected and unsettled them a bit. For most of the game we ran out of options and were reduced to knocking hopeful balls up towards Leon, who didn't win one. Clarke looks like he's just going through the motions, he doesn't put himself about or use his size and physique nearly as effectively as Billy Sharp does. He had a great chance second half took it down before his heavy touch gifted it straight to their defender and he just stopped, in what looked like an attempt to pretend he'd been put off by a whistle from the crowd. We are desperate for some alternatives up front, but that will have to be next season now.

Tonight was probably worse than even Preston away but, it's been a great first season back, the team have been superb and on the whole, they've produced some great performances. So I suppose, on reflection we have to accept the occasional hiccup and maybe reassess our expectations a little, safe in the knowledge that Wilder will ultimately get it right. UTB :)

Are you saying we looked great against QPR?

Its one game, albeit a terrible game but its one game we've lost. The play offs are very much alive. Man City the "greatest team ever assembled" lost to Wigan do you think that means there season is over? Its what happens now that decides play offs. Hopefully Wilder is saying to the players "its up to you and how much you want it". He doesn't genuinely feel the play offs are gone.

The play offs have gone and even if we get into them we will be the whipping boys and perhaps maybe I can say it Chris is not going to lead us to the promised land.

Hiccup we are not good enough and the embarrassing chase for Leonard for a year has been a waste of time as shown by him thus far.
 
Bruce Wayne said:
He should look inwards tonight, he's fucking around with the team too much. This Lenny is a mistake, don't play him just because he's a £750k signing. Duffy has been the master all season, stick to a winning formula.

Completely agree, the new signing haven't really worked as we would have hoped, stick with a winning side and that also means putting lundsram back in the team, were were playing well just not getting the results over Christmas, things seemed to be clicking then we sign players and put them straight in, which has disrupted the team again.

He must stop tinkering with a winning side, he said last year players need to earn their shirt that should go for the new signings.

So (for example) Jack O’Connel decided not to bomb forward and overlap once in the whole game Chris and he wasn’t playing to instructions, and every player just decided to lump it out of defence and hope somebody got a flick on for most of the first half?

Sorry it doesn’t wash.
 
Reverse psychology. But unless key players are in on his act, it could backfire big time. Players quickly lose respect for managers that call them out in public. And players usually win when that happens.

Stevens has left him marooned a few times recently i don't blame him

Well I must be one of Wilder’s biggest fans but I think that he needs to have a good look at himself after that shower of shite.

How many if us thought that a midfield three of Fleck, Evans and Leonard had enough attacking flair and why did every player just hoof it out of deference especially in the first half? That has to be down to Wilder’s instructions, not one player tried to consistently pass the ball out of defense until the second half, but they scored the goal and that killed it just as it looked like we’d started to play.

Chris and Alan are as much to blame for that shocker.

So true bud

Chris got it wrong tonight but the played were totally inept
 
Doubt he sent them out with instructions to forget how to play the game to even the most basic standards.

Neither do I, midfield are supposed to cover if both bomb forward.
 
Bit of a Keegan-like interview. Said everything that I wrote to my son straight after the game. Only thing I would differ with Tufty is that I thought that George played OK and put in a real shift. Flecky had a bad game like this after his 5 match ban as well - but Len and Evans were just dreadful for no reason.

Don’t think they’ll be stopping for beers tonight!
 



Very strange interview. I'm confused what he means by maxed out since he started 2 players he signed last month. I can understand Duffy not being fit (he hardly looked enthusiastic to come on!) and Holmes and Brookes injured that the formation changes, but still.

Vastly unfair on Blackman, Stearman and Baldock, the latter was our attacking threat.Also, to a lesser extent, O'Connell and Basham.

I thought we were putting a shift in as well, as a team. We were just woeful on and off the ball.

If it's aimed at the Boardroom then it's oddly time and phrased.
