When Wilder was here it got to the point where we were too predictable. What had worked well for a while when he first came had been worked out by opposition managers and it stopped working. He wouldn't change and just expected his magical formula to work again. He's no longer playing that system at Sheff Utd. He's adapted. If someone as arrogant as Wilder can do it then I don't know why Carrick can't.I just don’t see any reason to stick with him other than blind faith or loyalty. He’s not addressed a single issue from last season, literally nothing has improved, we’re only slightly better off in the table because it’s a worse league than last season.
He hasn’t changed his approach until this point, why on earth would he change now? He had his say on the fans after West Brom, he can’t comprehend why people aren’t happy with him or his team this season.
Football isn't played by one team. Anyone that has played football manager even knows that a tactic that works only works for so long. If you don't expect other managers to react to what you are doing then it is very naive. It's true in any sport. You have to be constantly evolving and we don't seem to be. We're trying to play the way we played in our first season but we don't have Akpom doing the job of two players so we're not as good at it and other teams know all our weaknesses because we haven't changed anything to protect them.
