Wilders interviews

[DronnieSoul]

What a breath of fresh air they are. No bullshit no whining just honest and succinct. He calls it exactly as we see it and doesn’t try to embelish anything. He is not the most articulate but this only endears him to me. He is though, very clear of what he wants from the players and I would imagine they are very clear what is expected from them. This is a huge improvement on recent seasons and a joy to behold. I have my passion back and notice a lot of old faces returning to the lane. UTB

The irritation level of any manager's interviews is inversely proportional to the results he's getting. We were all enthusiastic about the positivity coming from Adkins early last season, until we kept losing and the positivity started to grate on us.

Not so.
I allus puked at his saccharin smile and the corp-bollox he shovelled at us in those pre and post match pantomimes.

Remember the fucking Blade-a-coaster and the room for improvement, never mind the fecking geese

Apaz Wilder ripped down all the "motivating" posters set up all around the place.
Replaced with
"GROW A FUCKING PAIR!"

I'm just glad to see that wilder "barks" at players from the touchline. The man has passion and fight in him, very refreshing.

In that game against Swindon when it was 5-5 cloughy just stood there and watched leaning against the dugout, looked as if he didn't care. I bet wilder would have been going mental at them to get another.

I do not wish to speak of madkins as the air would turn blue.

 

[Pinchy]

Let's not forget "We don't want to just whack it forward" and "We want to play the right way", both from his most recent interview and both being demonstrated, to my delight, on the field of play.

A few S2 diehards might walk away as a result but we'll cope...

A bit naive mate. It's what the manager instils 7 days a week that produces results. Prancing about on the touch line like a demented Warnock is neither here nor there. Paisley didn't. Nicholson didn't. Harris didn't... Many good managers do; Many don't. It doesn't matter.

Ah, you must have been worried for a while. The Rochdale game was distinctly high on the hoofometer.

True - but most supporters want to see a manager prepared to actively try and change things when they're not going to plan. If I remember correctly, nobody had an issue with Danny Wilson playing the tailor's dummy with his arms crossed when we were eviscerating teams in 2011-12 but the following season, when we were struggling (and we were), his mannerism did not engender faith that he could change the course of a game.

I think you know, though, that it's not black and white. Lunatic actions on the sideline are as bad as inactivity when things aren't going to plan.

I was indeed mate. It's now clear, however, that the players (none of them MENSA candidates, let's remember) were struggling to come to terms with the essentials of Tuftyball. They are beginning to "get it" and I want more....

 

[derryblade]

CW is proving that not only do the talk he can also do the walk. The standards on Saturday will be the minimum level of performance and those players dropping below them will definitely by told and as CW says it wont be nothing personal it will be for the benefit of the team. Long may it continue.

Agree entirely with the sentiment.

But not that he isn't articulate. And better than that, there is an intelligence behind the responses, which are well thought out and well articulated.

He talks with a broad (ish) Yorkshire accent but don't let that fool ya !

By a country mile, the best realistic managerial appointment we could have made this summer.

I think you're absolutely right. Most supporters do want this. However, I'm completely with Pinchy on this, it's those people who I think have got it completely wrong.
A calm working out of what to do and doing it (done best from high enough away from the pitch so as to get the best possible perspective) is worth far more than some whirling dervish losing his mind on the touchline, barking bullshit that the players will just ignore.
It's all to do with the "cult of manager" that they've been allowed to build around themselves but, hey ho, if it looks good on camera . . . .

Even when Wilder was losing games, he was still talking in the right way. No bollocks about geese and the art of war.

Loved his comments about James Wallace too. You can tell that he just wants to see him fit to give him a chance... not give him a book to read

Despite your pretence, I don't think there is one blade who would be dissatisfied with a brand of football that is both attractive and effective.

 

[Come from away]

From afar it seems that when loosing the interviews are always described as full off platitudes demonstrating the manager does not know what he is doing, when winning comments get more positive. As for Adkins, I used to like his comments but he just started repeating himself when he lost the plot later in the season. Clough generally talked sense but was not a media man. Chris is what you see and will be the same style win or lose - like him or not; I do.

But by late August his honesty and frankness was already being viewed by some as showing his cluelessness.
