Utter Crap

[JJBlade]

We know Leonard isn’t as bad as we’ve seen tonight, same goes for Evans. Collectively they were Shiite not one solid performance. Only Blackman and Basham deserve above a 3.

They are all decent players, but they are all similar players and like somebody above has said they cannot all play at the same time.
They are win it and pass it sideways to somebody more creative types of players.

Our creativity has long gone and every game is now a struggle.

The players who needed replacing in January are our best players, Fleck and Duffy. That might sound daft because when I say replace I don't mean literally replace them, I mean they are the types of players who should have had serious competition for their places

To be fair Duffy has got serious competition IMO in Holmes for his place. What you don't do is not play him when the back up is out injured.

Well CW says 'that's it, play offs gone, do our best for the rest of the season but that's it for us.

Says it's not playing mind games with the players, that's just what he thinks, being honest.Any of the top 6 coming here would have won that. the only 2 who deserve any praise are the front 2'

Not a happy chap but , on Sky, saying that, risks being called a mardy *rse by many.

By Blades will it be seen as just being honest?

The MESSIAH in my opinion was just sayin what the vast majority of BLADES were thinkin,it was a Adkins like performance(when he was at BDBL) by us,from start to finish we wern't "at it" I dint think anyone played anywhere near their potential but the front 2 dint have much sevice and as much as FLECKY's my favrit player he also was pish poor toneet,i wudda hooked Evans before Leonard altho as i've said it really cudda been anyone to be subbed.Very disapointin result and performance,certainly the worst this season and since the MESSIAH arrived.UTCB

I don't know whether Leonard is a good player or not, but I'm struggling from what I've seen of him thus far, to understand CW's relentless chase for his services for around a year.

Just seems a little baffling

[bulmer1889]

I think he's bein honest with a healthy dollop of go on then prove me wrong,but got to say he's right there was so much space available the top sides would have had a birthday I've no doubt they've been told that wasn't acceptable it's how we react now but any more no shows like that and I'm just thankful we reached the 50 point safety zone

[JJBlade]

Yep, three midfielders playing 70 yards behind the front two is never gonna create very much.

We've been brought up on a diet of whack it long and hope for the best. We've seen this gradually return over the last two months and guess what, we've blown automatic promotion and are well on our way to blowing the play offs now.

I thought Wilder would have understood that sentiment enough to abolish that from our game altogether. But creative attacking midfielders and strikers are the games most expensive commodity, so Sheffield United will struggle on without those types thank you very much

[GrayBlade]

I here Wilder’s had a rant in his interview but to be honest I’m not interested this time around. I must be one of his biggest fans but I think that he needs to have a good look at himself after that shower of ****e.

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.

[tomytony]

I think you may well be right GB.

The interview was pretty full on, angry,upset and far too blunt.

It made him look a bit mardy and I imagine plenty of other club's fans will be ridiculing him.

Maybe he knows he screwed up and his anger is really with himself.

If not he's not done himself any favours.

[gardsPNE]

Obviously us Nobbers are happy tonight however I just watched his interview and I thought CW truly looked p1ssed off just due to the fact I don’t think he has seen his team play like that this season. I think he is truly not happy with the performance with a smidgen of over to you lads to prove me wrong. You have had a crackin first season back in the Championship and like us you still have plenty to play for and there will be many twists and turns before the season ends from a load of clubs still in the mix.
