Thoughts on Wilder's post match interview

[CarrickBall]

What did you all think?

One line especially stuck out to me.... "I do sometimes wonder why the expectations are so high here...the club has been out of the top division for so long".

It's Wilder himself that has consistently said publicly... "This is a big football club at this level", "I haven't come here to be mid table" and "We'll be competing at the top end of this division".

He cut a frustrated, down beat figure. He's been hugely successful in every position he's had so far in his managerial career (promoted in every job he's had if I'm right?) but it's not working here.

We've won 4 out of the last 19.

Dreadful line. No idea why he'd come out with something like that. Reminds me of Karanka having a go at the fans for chanting attack attack attack during games we were losing at home, and of Strachan saying he'll go home and get off his face on drugs.

That's a poor line to come with that isn't it? Pretty ominous to me......

He's a bullshïtter and trying to cover up his own failings.

 

[CarrickBall]

He does get very emotionally wound up after defeats doesn't he... he doesn't take losing well.

Quite often he's fronted up in the fashion immediately after games and then in the next pre game press conference a few days later he's back to normal.

It is a really bad line, though.

Does anyone have a link to his interview?

I've never known a manager talk so much, which doesn't do him any favours usually

Not happy with him saying that at all. After all he’s said he’s got a cheek

Like every manager then.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

I picked up on this line last night, sounds to me like the pressure is getting to him.

 

[Cress]

And remember there's 20 k boro fans and half a dozen whiners on here, who want their negative mindset to catch on for some reason. Look inside yourself and ask why. It's never too late to have a happy childhood

 

[Paintolerance]

My expectation is not to see a directionless rabble 3 nowt down, at home, to Cardiff by half time

I'm sorry if that's to much to ask of Wilder

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Don’t see what he said that’s wrong TBH.

There were thousands of fans booing in the stadium last night?

 

[Diego]

There is getting beat and then their is being absolutely woeful and lacking ideas. Unfortunately we were the latter. Wilder needs to know we won’t accept that

You make some very strange comments.

 

[Dybuk]

Expectations are only set by figures in the club. Not by the fans. If they don't want high expectations they should think about the interviews they gave at the end of last season and during the early transfer window.

4 wins in 19, he has to go.
