They were brilliantly organised, energetic and positive....and yet their players are "nobodies". It just goes to show what good coaches/managers can do.
We under Wilder are now reverting back to hoofball. I hope this period is a trial for him and its not a given that he will continue next season. He has his methods, but are they really the right ones for us going forward?
We're lumbered ny some disastrous signings- some of his own making- and I think he's at a total loss.
I reckon he came back with the hopes of working a miracle but has found the squad unfit (stilll is), unreliable, unresponsive and totally unsuitable for the job in hand.
Rather than any creative, enterprising style he's just managing a club to minimise damage reputation ( unsuccessfully ATM) and , hopefully( big hope) will oversee as massive a clearout asis possible and start from scratch as he did in the 3rd division.
Difference is this time we are probably in a worse position player wise than when he came back before- worse in the sense that they cost much more, are less willing to adapt seemingly and don't have the desire a 3rd division journey man has to better themself. The bright spot is that so many ore out of contract ( as well as out of breath after 50 minutes!).
Has he got the stomach to turn it round again? Has he got the tactics or is he a one trick pony? Has he got the wherewithal to rebuild? Will he get the funds? Will he spit his dummy out again?
Can he manage expectations because anyone thinking we'll be nailed out to bounce back could be in for a very rude awakening? That's not to say we will expect it.
2 PL seasons in the last 5 years and we're a bigger basket case than any other club who's been in that position.
