Sheffield United V Relegation

Correct Brooker11....

It's no good fielding a team of tryers at this level, It worked last season, mainly due to Henderson's heroics...

This season is not going to plan, you need players of proven quality to stay up.

CW can't compete on the meagre resource's available.

Is that Wilders choice though? He might of told the board that he was happy with the squad but just needed a striker mainly. I'm guessing he chooses who he wants to sign and that's mainly dropping into the lower league's. Unfortunately the more players signed from there the greater chance they won't make it. I think United can compete financially to be finishing around tenth every season, breaking into the top 6 though it takes money and being clever in the transfer market, I'm not sure Wilder has shown yet he can sign the players needed to stay up for a few seasons.

 

However I think United would be mad to not give Wilder anotyer 2 or 3 seasons no matter what happens, they owe him that much

Heard Radio Sheffield this morning stating that Wilder reckons the next 10 games are crucial to defining this season?

 

Looking at those upcoming fixtures, while nothing is a given, Leicester,

Man Utd, (though you never know if they'll turn up) & Everton, you'd be probably look for a draw at best but Everton have hit a bad run, so you never know?  Southampton have hit a bit of form, so again, best at the moment, given our form, a draw at best. 

 

The other 6, West Ham, West Brom, Brighton, Burnley, Palace & Newcastle.  These are the clubs that we know we've got to go to-to-toe with & beat & on our day, we can do.  I don't think the Blades are lacking in confidence, just performance, especially in the last third. 

 

There shouldn't be any talk of the Blades parting company with one of the best managers the Blades have had over the past 50 years.  Let's not forget, Wilder won the admiration of his peers only 2 seasons ago, when he was awarded the League Managers award, beating Pep Guardiola & wasn't he runner up to Klopp for the same award last season? 

 

You don't become a bad manager in the space of a few months.  Even if the Blades were relegated, (I'll stick my neck out & say they won't), I'd give Wilderer & Knill, another chance at promotion.

Totally agree, Baron99!

The problem is though that the Premier League is such a lucrative league to be in that chairman tend to get very twitchy if they look like they wont hold onto their place in it, the Prince is hardly dripping with lucre so could be forced into a hasty decision to preserve that status if it looks like CW cannot turn around their fortunes, they look a very different side to last season.

Defensive third wasn't up to much at Chelsea.

It looks like Chairman in the Championship tend to get very twitchy as well .

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Wilder outstays the next unfortunate incumbent at Hillsborough.

Who’s your money on boys?

It was only a matter of time and will be far less damaging than if the same happened to you......and if results don't improve quickly it will.
