chalga   10 #313 Posted January 14, 2018 Ooooo it’s like someone’s poked a hornets nest this morning, the cost of our second string gets dearer by the hour, not so long ago we had loads of players that were over the hill and worth nowt not there all worth millions. To put some records straight :-  Nobody celebrated a 0-0 draw, the celebration was for a show of fight and determination after an awful run and an expectation to get beaten, don’t flatter yourselves.  This is the worst season in three for SWFC, just be thankful you were still a loser league side in the previous two (particularly CC’s first season).  This game doesn’t show how far you’ve come it shows where you are in January 2018 and that’s a side that have faded after early promise and won one game in 10.  The £150m our chairman has spent (if that’s the true figure) has been on the actual purchase, essential ground improvements, staff, catering etc etc after nigh on 20yrs of mismanagement.  I said in a earlier thread that the sort of football Wilder plays (kick and rush) works in the short term but is never a long term strategy, take a screenshot of this and come back and see who was correct in 12 months time.  Wilder doesn't play kick and rush,and is on record as saying he wants us to play football,not lump it up Bolton style,so you are directly contradicting him. After an awful run?............how do you know that it's now 'after'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

NERVY-OWL Â Â 192 #316 Posted January 14, 2018 Sorry grapps but the results probably would of been different last season or before. We have been awful this season so the chances of us getting a win in either were slim. I don't agree with the kick and rush from what I've seen of you so I'll give you that though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
