So what does wilder do first

Yeah, I agree. We don't currently have the players to play the system he used at SU. You could shoehorn players into it, but then it's square pegs in round roles.

That system at SU was innovative, so who's to say he won't come up with something else? Aside from the defensive injuries one of his challenges is finding a way of fitting the abundance of attacking players into a system that suits them, but doesn't leave us too open. I think Warnock struggled to solve this conundrum but he's quite rigid in how he wants his teams to play.

I think we could use Howson/Jones as RWB maybe and Siliki as a LWB till replacements are signed (or brought back) McNair and Dijksteel can play RCB in a three, Bola could maybe play LCB? Fry/Hall/Bamba as the central with Peltier as cover. A really good DCM to marshal them all and offer good positional cover is possibly missing but with Wilder's record of improving players he could maybe mold Crooks into that. Payero and/or Tav as the link man between midfield and attackers (think Browne could flourish in that role too), Sporar and Coburn as first choice front two with Uche and Watmore as back up.

I think just an increase in the organizational play and controlling the midfield would see us picking up more points, and some much needed improvements on set pieces with a few new ideas would be a massive help too.

We might not be too far off how Shef U played with that.

If, and it is a big if, he can turn Siliki and Howson/Jones into effective wingbacks and get a tune out of a few others...........

It also means limited opportunities for the more 'winger' like players in Hernandez and the invisible Ameobi.

I assume/hope a new keeper will be coming in the near future, and probably expect a few players he's worked with in the past join too.

I think it's mainly the wingbacks that are the issue. Probably depends how much defending the wingbacks are expected to do. Can't say I was paying that much attention to Sheff U to notice.

McNair can definitely play as an overlapping centre back. In fact I'm sure Sheff U were sniffing around him just after promotion? He's a good footballer so could probably do a job as the left sided one even.

Reading Warnock's book he gives the impression that training sessions are quite "light touch" - he's not known for overworking players and as such it might be that we can get more out of the squad fitness wise?

I would expect both workrate and team cohesion to improve under Wilder. He's very good at organising teams around a system, this will be his first job. Will be very interesting to see if he goes for his tried and tested style from Blades or adapts based on the playing squad (I think it will be the latter personally).

May I suggest that prompt treatment can reduce injuries and effects - but there have been many reported "injuries" during training - it makes one wonder just how that is being managed or prevented?
But hey ho hes gone.

1st change Captain. Howson isnt a leader. Give it to Bamba or McNair.

2. Drop Howson. See if he can get a solid midfield pair out of a combo of Siliki, Payero, McNair and maybe look at bringing somone in.


3. Back to no frills football. 442 or 451 get some points on the board make sure we dint get sucked into the cluster at the bottom

Know your best players for possible systems.

Under Pulis, Woodgate and Warnock we got good results when the team was apparently threadbare and cobbled together... or perhaps the 'backup' players were in fact the better options all along.
