it's frightening what we've become, i'm losing interest

Its RUBBISH this. And I’m a glass half full man.

Annoying thing is we need 15 opportunities to register a goal.
The opposition, unfortunately, just need 1 or 2.
The Football Gods hate us.

Nothing to do with 'football deities', that's indicative of poor forwards.

If we concede early I think that blows our game plan out the water.

With that 11.

Hmmmm

Just what I was thinking - and that's happened
Will he make 5 substitutions?
Would think defeat to today and Wednesday would be difficult for Wilder to survive

Spending 70% of our expenditure on players who the manager doesn’t want, does seem an odd choice.

As well as swapping Tav for Mowatt, and pocketing £10m + the £12m for Spence too.

I’d understand if Wilder got binned but the club needs all of the smoke for this situation, the summer window was a disgrace.

I can't believe he hasn't made made changes this half.

He is totally and utterly inept. Yesterday's man, one trick pony and he can F*** off out of our club.

Watmore just looked thoroughly fed up after that carry out of defence.

I’m thinking Giles/ Jones at HT and chuba and mcgree on 60 mins, or maybe all that delayed by 5/10 mins just as extra time to try and tire them.

Good chance Muniz, but we don’t deserve to be level.

Wow we are really poor... he has to change it at half time surely.. the line up didn't fill me with confidence... strange strange choices made..

What date was Wilder first linked with the Burnley job?
(allegedly - never proven, never quashed)
Does this correlate to our terrible run of form by any chance?

Would you give £30m to spend to a man that might be leaving?
A man that wasted a lot more than that on misfiring forwards in his last job?

Remember, Gibson, like us had to sit and watch Assombolonga pick up £50k per week for 4 years and go for nowt

God help us we’re looking at Akpom to get us back into games.

Pop up appeared on my TV screen, “your tv will be turned off in 1 minute due to inactivity“
even my telly knows we’re shyte!!!

if Akpom our saviour we are fooked

Assombalonga scored 45 goals for us.

Surely got to bring on Jones for Smith
I'd bring on Giles for Clarke too
Akpom maybe for Watmore

If I go on Wednesday, it will cost me £20 for a taxi home. I'm now considering not going.

I've never felt less interested or optimistic watching this squad and tactics.. It's become painfully predictable this season..

Feel positive and optimistic like THIS is the game to get our season going / concede early / spend 40 - 70 mins with frustrating long balls and sketchy defending / score / concede to draw or lose - Wilder rolls out stats to mask the clear issues and fact these players aint doing it for him .. REPEAT..

But week after week it's clearly not working and we just don't have the fight and desire you'd expect from a squad 'tipped for promotion'..

Everyone looks knackered / we have a midfield bereft of ideas / a defence who look really shaky / Strikers who are not putting the ball in the net or getting service!

After Cardiff I didn't think we could get any worse but today, already it's the same old story!

At this stage I'd rather Wilder just walked and accepted it didn't work (it's not all his fault the club clearly hasn't backed him and reinvested the spoils wisely on any 'marquee signings')... They've got the season ticket sales boosted by essentially sprouting shoite as per.. and now we'll struggle to finish mid table and the exercise will be repeated.

Very depressing - Rather someone with less of a chip on their shoulder about their managerial history came in and got the squad re-energised and at least we could then maybe boost our numbers in Jan window and give a push towards playoffs a go!

Even if we win today I just can't see Wilder being the solution to the cyclic problem at our club!

Same here fella I'm bothered because I bother

If there is one thing that sums up the state of this club at this moment is hearing Maddo bang on about putting Paddy fcking Mcnair in midfield to turn this game around. The fact that that's the best we can do says everything really.
