It was obvious he had lost the players, was losing the fans and you would imagine, given all the talk about off the field issues, had lost some of Gibson's confidence and trust.
You only need to look at the form of the last 20 games or so, some of the defeats we've endured have been embarrassing, but for me, that team selection on Saturday was the final straw.
His constant throwing of players under the bus won't have helped either.
It's all good talking about 'long term projects' but when was the last time you could say you felt Wilder was fully invested in that project? Criticising the recruitment, the players, I'm sure he had a dig at the fans recently too.
He had a really good first few months, with some noticable highlights and we played some of the best football I've seen us play. But that all feels like a long time ago now, and he hasn't even been here 12 months. Talk of will we get a better manager than Wilder, who, the guy who has lead us to our worst start to a season outside the top division?
Pressure now focuses on Gibson and co to find a suitable replacement, I just hope they can convey the message that they clearly failed to with Wilder regarding recruitment.
