The question that dared not be asked...


Recommended Posts

Our squad with Wilder in charge

Blunts squad with Wilder in charge

 

Who would win?

 

Obviously I am not suggesting in any way what so ever that anyone would ever want this to happen, but its a valid question - was it the manager who made the main difference today or the players and if it was the players, was it down to the manager? (you know what I mean) lol

We have a load of talented individuals, but they seem to have been signed without a thought as to where they fit into our system

 

Boyd, Abdi, FF, Matias and Rhodes are all luxuries that CC hasn't got a clue what to do with

 

United like most clubs sign players to do a certain job

Understand entirely the point you make. I think we all know the answer. The game today was won and lost by the application, tactics and motivation ability of the managers.

Before today's game, you would be hard pushed to pick any United player to replace any of our starting line-up. After the game, pretty much the opposite was true and you couldn't really see any Wednesday players replacing any of their starting XI, despite the wealth of talent in our squad.

 

United didn't have much to do in the game but they did it well. Wednesday, on the other hand, had loads to do but the execution was very poor.

 

Preparing the team is down to the Head Coach and the coaching staff. It was clear today which side was prepared the better.

Young Jack looks a fine young player. What a gem in the making.

This has been going on since last September - and such a poor ROI too.

 

CC wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes at most clubs - the chairman just wouldn't have stood for it

 

He has been so lucky here with DC - more a reflection of DC's inexperience I think.

 

Today showed how limited CC is on just about every level.

 

We have had the best chairman in a lifetime and a massive chance for the club to progress but we have a manager who isn't up to it. 

 

Classic Wednesday - unable to ram home any sort of advantage.

Spot on. Wilder did his homework and exploited our faults, but without pace or a player who can run at a defence we couldn't exploit their static (but organised)  backline, so they could just keep hitting the channels.

We've been saying it as far back as last season we lack both pace and strength. We have been in need of an Antonio or JJ type player for far too long.

Point is Wilder is now viewed as CC was in the first season. An unknown quantity to most other managers, a freedom to play and a desire from players to show they are worthy of this level

 

Bit like Barnsley last year the interesting thing is how they will cope when they are tactically sussed and if other clubs come sniffing around their better players. They might be able to resist those offers a bit more than Barnsley.
