Heard a few since he left but McGree's interview on Tees yesterday was interesting.

When asked what is different he mentioned calmness, a clear identity of how we want to play, trust, belief and having fun.

Also mentioned a confidence and the way Carrick speaks to players.

Sounds like Mr Overlappingcentrhalves was not too popular.

I don't know, if you rewind to any other manager being appointed you tend to here all the same stuff early on.
 
Still makes me laugh how it was never the systems fault despite the fact it was that system causing us to leak so many goals, centre back comes up the pitch but as soon as possession is lost the opposition learned to put a quick diagonal ball into the space vacated and to the surprise of nobody but wilder, the opposition are free to square the ball across the box for a tap in.

I genuinely think though that MC is a different kind of manager who speaks with the players and doesn’t speak ‘to’ them…loving that Mcgree mentioned his calmness because that’s one of MCs biggest assets (!).
We are going to become a calmer, more measured and dare I say it, clinically deadly team because of his calm assassin type approach!
Excited 😆

Maybe you were a bit hasty with your over the top negativity prior to Carricks appointment?

Dael fry was superb yesterday Wilders treatment of him hauling him off at half time in successive games was beyond the pale.
 
It was a toxic camp you could feel it at the ground but now we are looking a lot more relaxed and players look happier as well.
 
Never wanted him, wished him all the best when he was here, didnt improve us one bit, would have taken us down with his boring pass, pass football, glad hes gone & is history, think Hayden would 2nd that too
 
The night we played Spurs in the FA Cup last season I thought we were really good. We looked like a very good team and I thought we were on to something with Wilder. That performance was the best I'd seen from us in years.

Pity it was a one off. Not sure what went wrong - could be the Burnley thing - but I suspect it was his man management, or lack of. Slagging the players off too often and not shouldering the blame will only cause resentment, and loss of trust and confidence in what the manager actually wants from you.

Glad he's gone.

I was excited by his appointment and impressed by how effective we were in getting Crooks and Jones into really dangerous positions by working the ball behind the opposition left back to the six yard touch line area.

Then it stopped working.

Then the rumours.

I'm sure it was right to replace him at that point.
 
I was happy with Wilder until the last few weeks of his tenure. Clearly - for whatever reason(s) - things stopped working and performances and results pretty much fell off a cliff.

If we had persevered with him, we would have been in a relegation battle for sure. He was in the final phase of what most managers go through, unable/incapable of turning things around. The ship was listing but we were too far at sea to get to port safely.

We may never know the exact reasons for his extremely quick demise, but was 100% behind Gibson making the decision to part company with him.

It's football, these things happen.

That may be true, but make no mistake we ARE in a relegation battle. 1 point above the drop zone and unable to beat a poor Bristol at home.

Not saying for one minute we are safe - we will be in the bottom half mix all season.

But I hope - from recent performances - we have reached the bottom and can start a slow climb upwards.

If Wilder were still here I fear we would be scrapping with Huddersfield for 23/24 position, a couple of wins from safety
 
Wilder clearly believes his own hype and thinks he should be managing at the top end of the PL.

I was thrilled when he started and up until the last few weeks of his time I still thought he was a great manager. But sticking to the same system when it clearly wasn’t working was a big sign that his ego was too big for the club. It will be interesting to see where he manages next. A mid table championship club I reckon

We didn’t buy well in the summer though and that wasn’t Wilders fault
