Bluesteel Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Chris Wilders carefully worded reference today. Where has this idea come from that we are not a team or lack team spirit? Im not sure you can finish 6th and 4th in this league without team cohesion. We bounced back from Wembley and despite a slow start we appear to be doing the same again. There seems to be a "team spirit vs money" message coming from them which I think is wide of the mark and I think they will get a shock at the weekend. United wont sit back, which suits us down to the ground in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzuki_San Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think the first thing you’d say about us, if you’d taken the time to see us more than 3 times, is that we work very hard as a team. Defensively and otherwise. In short, the man is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will suit us and the fact they have started the season well means that they will probably think they are capable of out playing us and getting a result. If they set up any other way then with two banks of four. We will wipe the floor with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we like it when teams press us and get in our face as PNE and Huddersfield have done in the past so that is my only concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc1983 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not that the players should need any extra motivation but if I was Carlos then Wilders comments have just done the lions share of my team talk for me. Let's smash the scrubbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Fessi Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Obviously pulled that one from the Neil Warnock book of coaching, mind games. There are certainly some games in the last 12 months where we have looked very flat...more noticeable when we were missing Lee, Hooper or Forestieri so saying that we have been reliant on certain players to almost carry the team through periods of the season isn't too far off....

Bluestripe Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Really don’t think Wilder has the nous to play mind games. He’s shown how clumsy and oafish he is with his petulant reaction at the game and the ridiculous interview talking about coach driver etc.. Even so he either knows or will have been told it’d suit Wednesday if he plays a free-flowing attacking game from the off - that’s why I’m so looking forward to the tactics of each manager, which will be illuminating.

Bluesteel Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think there are some attempted mind games re selection. He mentioned they had injury problems at the top of the pitch but my guess is that both Sharp and Donaldson will feature. In his situation as underdog it is easy for him to get in his players heads about being heroes. Carlos will brush all that off as he thinks they have a complex that we don't share. But I hope he doesn't go all Bryan Robson about it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be up for it without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Flaming prannock. Just revised my prediction from 2-1 to 3-1 win thanks to his help. Keep 'em coming Wilder, you tactical maverick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way he can have an effect on the outcome is if he manages to get them to perform better than their best - even then we’d also have to be under par.

darklord Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 you would think the missing players were Messi, Christiano Ronaldo and Costa way they are going on. More like Messy, Fat Ronaldo and Costa Coffee. whether they play or not matters not a jot, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash76 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's his style, makes soundbites to try and give his lot the upper hand. I have it on good authority that his approach to the Nowrich game was to go through their side on an individual basis and rip them to bits. 'bobbar', 'no b0llocks', 'sly lobster' & 'thinks he's better than he is' were some of the phrases he used. I wonder what his thoughts were after :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
