[Barnette]

Aimless long balls vs the biggest team in the league for the last 15 minutes, barely had a sniff

That's the Wilder way - bypass midfield and hope for a 2nd ball. Dinosaur stuff.

 

[MKY]

Why do we keep pissing it away after half time? What’s going on in that dressing room?

 

[Champagneblade]

At one point we were up to 16th and looking like scoring at each opportunity and within touching distance of the pay offs.

Once more the players seem to think job done by half way and put out that dog shit of a second half.

They should be made to fucking walk home.

It’s been a disgracefully ill disciplined second half, typified by our usual lacklustre 46-60 where we always seem to concede.

Not a fan of the blowing smoke up Parkinson’s ass before the game either. They’ve bought the progress they have. Yes you do still to win games but it’s made far easier when you have more cash than your opponents each week.

I thought they’d learned after West Brom. Clearly they’re fucking thick.

 

[FriethBlade]

Cooper is average hence why nobody came in for him over the summer.

McCallum & Seriki can’t defend and play way too attacking leaving us vulnerable to every counter attack .

Ultimately what’s cost us in the shit show we had in the summer though, you see Soumare come on and give the ball away immediately leading to the build up of their pen. You see Moore bullying our defenders

You see Soumare coming on and wonder why it isnt Brooks

 

[Willglynning]

I don't know what planet you're on. This has nowt todo with Selles. Give your head a wobble and think about who's been our manager for most of the last 9 years.

There’s literally no getting through to the Wilder sycophants.

More loyalty to one man than our actual club.

 

[Geordie Blade]

I am totally speechless at this performance.. we have them 5
goals….\ this is the worst 45 minutes I’ve ever seen from us. EVER!

I’m angry too, but it’s far from the worst ever half.

 

[harrry1990s]

Big shout out to the biased Skysports pundits. Absolutely gushed all over Wrexham all game.

Stop moaning, they have famous owners.

Soumare is thick as fuck and doesn't understand his role and position

He could control for that sort of situation and make sure the ball doesn't bounce off him and expose his team, but he's too stupid to even try

 

[toledo]

The 2nd half was the worst 45 minutes EVER.. that’s how bad we were today . Great for the nuetral but stingingly awful for us..

 

[beardedgipsy]

Moore can't score 2 against if he's not given to Wrexham. Bindon brought in by Selles. Wobble your own head and stop having an agenda against the only person able to restore something to our season.

Toddle off back to cuckoo land

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

You see Soumare coming on and wonder why it isnt Brooks

There’s no other central option to bring on. Hamer can’t plan CM, Arblaster shouldn’t be playing 90 and Reidwald is still struggling to see out 90.

The options are Matos & Soumare - both are rubbish

 

[VictoryBlade]

Got to get rid of half this team in teh window, no guts!

 

[Nagima]

Piss poor, but the body language hasn’t been good either. COH was shouting for more energy and press early on. Too many players throwing their hands up in the air. They need locking in the dressing room and let them fight it out.

I have to agree regarding the press. 2nd half Bamford and O' Hare pressed at one stage but as the ball went across the back Chong was miles away and the ball had an easy path forward.

Our substitutions made us worse. But the big issue is organisation. Out of possession we were leaving huge gaps. Too easy to cross the ball, too many players running at our centre halves. Zero cover.

 

[Champagneblade]

I think Jairo was very poor tonight and that resulted in a lack of control in the midfield. But Wilder should have changed things at half time as we could all see that the likes of Chong needed to come off.

Chong should have knocked the wind out of their sails but missed an easy chance with all the goal to create an angle.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Stop moaning, they have famous owners.

I'd even go as far as saying one of them was besotted with them.

 

[utd4ever]

Don’t blame em. Fairy tale club.

We get what we ask for.

KEEP IT LOCAL!!!!!!

 

[Blade56]

Wilder tactics. Concede in first 5mins of second half then strange sub putting burrows on left MF, Hamer disapeared, where the feck was Brooks? Then think McCallum goes as LCB and whole team structure was a mystery.

W@nker

Tbf we've looked off since Hamer came back from injury !!

 

[Ginger Gnome]

All he had to do at half time was tweak it to give Seriki some cover rather than the constant doubling up down their left. Instead he ended up even more exposed. Wrexham must have been delighted when we nullified our own biggest threats.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

All the talk the past few weeks about "The West Brom Game" and we've played worse than that tonight.
So many mistakes from every player, shocking substitutions and a team that fully crumbled under any pressure tonight

 

[Jon B]

I’m not excusing it. Should have made the game boring as anything at 3-1 but chose not to.

We didn't need to be boring, just compete properly in midfield, keep brains turned on and do the basics at the back.

 

[Nick Jansky]

I’m trying to understand why Brooks got dropped for Chong. Poor decision, that.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Can we also stop singing about our prior players ironically 30 mins to a game please. That's now Moore and Jebbison that's fully come back to bite us

 

[The Crab]

Turning into Sheffield forum on here with the busy bodies.

It’s ok I’ll ban myself.

Foxy would you save me from myself and delete my account please. Too tempting to come back.

Cooper being average is either an ability issue or a fitness one. Seriki and McCallum playing too attacking is a coaching/instructional issue and so on Wilder. If they can't defend despite instructions then either hook them or give them protection IE; stick Brooks on for Chong.

 

[bakeblade]

I’m trying to understand why Brooks got dropped for Chong. Poor decision, that.

They're both not good enough

 

[Sharp_as_a_Blade]

Ref wanted to be star of their show, some atrocious refereeing. Wilder back to picking his favourites, why the fuck is Burrows coming on for Chong over Brooks? Respect to any Blades travelling to watch that on boxing day

 

[Shakin Stevens is my Dad]

A bigger collapse than England’s openers.

Don’t do that buddy, no need at all.

Don’t do that buddy, no need at all.

All the comments others have made and he pulls me up.

Fuck this
