I see CW is still insisting that the tackle didn't merit a red card, and he is still encouraging his players to "get stuck in."

 

I fear he's not moved on.  If no less a hard man than Roy Keane adjudged Lundstram's tackle to be a red card, then we have to listen.

 

Blades' tactics being rumbled + CW's resorting to "get stuck in" is the final death knell.

You seem a little obsessed with Chris Wilder Steve. You’re not Jurgon Klopp are you ?🙂

Roy Keane would have never played two games in a row if Lundstrams tackle was a red card.

Whether or not there was malicious intent it was a red card, top and bottom of it is you cannot go in like that these days. Football has changed, can you imagine hard tackling players like  Norman Hunter and Tommy Smith playing today, I bet they wouldn't have lasted till half time before being sent off. 

 

 

Even in days past, even when there was NO contact, Blades players were getting booked for intent.

Anyone remember Carl Bradshaw's non-tackle on leeping like a salmon, Shearer?

Always laugh when "hard tackling Hunter" is mentioned, I think of that pathetic attempt that cost us the result against Poland in 73!🙄😏

Another close game where we come away with nothing.  We need a change of luck - a shot deflecting off somebody's backside to give us our first win, then things may turn around.

 

We're not even half way through the season and people are writing us off. 


COYRAWW!

18 consecutive games without a win is not bad luck.
