Guest Quist Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 How United are not winning is a mystery. Missed a couple of excellent chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Have to say that Leeds have looked nearly as bad as they did against us. Defensively they look awful. All over the place, with little organisation. Chances aplenty if you press them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Blunts are a bloody good side. We may all sneer at the players individually but that team and manager could well get automatic promotion. High tempo. Check Fearless. Check Organised. Check Aggressive. Check Attacking play. Check Passionate. Check Physical. Check Looks like a real promotion team. Wilder really does seem to have put together a winning team and formula. All credit to him and also seems like a genuinely decent bloke after reading that BBC article (ref: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41756907). If he was one of ours we'd be shouting and singing his praises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two theories: 1) Carlos decided to change our style of play, having seen how the likes of Burnley, Hull and Boro got themselves promoted. 2) His natural style of play is actually a more pragmatic, possession-based game and it's simply a case of us playing in that style, as opposed to what we produced in our first season.

Beholder Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Pigs look like they r going up. And with good attacking football. Three at the back which Carlos says is impossible at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he only has one tune on the pitch- and it's a bit like putting a decent 45 rpm on 33rpm instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play like a Portugese / Spanish teamwhich is what you have described. In first year we went on front and pressed, we have similar formation to then but we stay in formation and do not press on. Hence cautious unentrepising stuff. It reminds me of when England RU team under Woodward used to suffocate opposition. Last year not exciting but was effective to a point.
