[Albion] Chris Wilder on the problem of playing Brighton

[The Lemming Stomper]

Didn't Wilder ,while at Brighton, get a bottle of champagne for Darren Freeman for scoring the first goal at Withdean even though he was just on loan for a couple of months and had no real bond with the club...

Sometimes the human side of management just as important as the analytics

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

We normally boss Moyes.

Achieved this season with a home defensive masterclass

And VERY lucky in the match at the Amex.

 

[Bakero]

Pop, pop

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

No, if Liverpool have any sense he’ll replace Klippety and there will be nothing we can do about it. Tailor made for them

Bloom is amazing, but I don't think he would make a good football manager.

 

[Cordwainer]

Moyes and Wilder are not dinosaurs, Moyes has worked wonders at West Ham and is a massively underrated manager. Wilder did amazing job at Northampton before getting a bang average Sheffield United squad into the premier league utilising some very progressive tactics. Both are very, very good managers and reserve respect for what they have achieved in the game.

Fully agreed. Wilder was fantastic for us..galvanised the whole club at a time when we were very close to going pop. Instrumental in getting our current Chairman in and in our promotion winning season playing high press, high energy, attacking football. Also gave Ivan Toney his debut. Real shame he went to Sheff Utd so soon after our winning League 2. Always came across as a thoroughly decent person as well.

Pop pop pop. I LOVE it. This term has to stick. Perfect.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Yes, it’s one thing understanding the threat but quite another doing anything about it. Makes me all the more perplexed that fans of other clubs still insist on their teams pressing and some of ours also fail to understand.

 

[Wozza]

I was goo

It was literally pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop followed by Buonanotte running at their defence and unleashing a wonder strike top bins. It was unbelievably good.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

RDZ tailor made 4 pool? Nah! They are not a De Zerbi squad.

Not were Brighton when he joined. Dunk talked about the chaos of the first few weeks of training. I would say any top half PL club has players technically gifted enough to understand and execute the drills coached by RDZ.

Like Chelsea players did with Potter

Wilder wasn't on loan, he signed after being released by Sheffield United. Micky Adams knew him through a mutual friend and gave him a short term deal (possibly doing a fellow Sheffield United fan a favour), however Wilder couldn't settle in the area and Halifax offered him a chance to move back up north so we let him go.

I haven't heard the story about the champagne before but it would be a good way to integrate yourself with your new teammates.

Wilder speaks very highly of the brief spell he had here, it made him open his eyes to club mis-management and how things could go wrong very quickly given our fall down the leagues before he joined. He seems like a really decent bloke managing the club he loves.

Like Chelsea players did with Potter

It has been implied that Chelsea players thought they were better than Potter. RDZ has a lot more respect amongst famous players.

Pop pop pop. I LOVE it. This term has to stick. Perfect.

Ole ole
Ole ole
Ole ole
Ole ole
Going pop pop pop

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

that's made me stiff.

Rigor mortice? Some three in one oil should soon fix that.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I would seriously love you to be right ......but

When we ran out against Donny at the Amex, all my wildest dreams were fulfilled

I know what you mean, but..... we are now getting credit for sustained quality under two managers, ever improving, the inevitable setbacks increasingly less alarming, slowly replacing players who are not quite consistent or talented enough with upgrades, five league wins over Manchester United now....beaten Chelsea, twice......

The only thing we haven't done yet is win something. I want to win something.

And when we have won something I want to win something else.

Yep, when Potter's Chelsea move was confirmed, a Chelsea supporting mate asked me if he was any good. I said he's a decent manager but his ability to deal with mega player egos would be my concern as we refuse to recruit those types at Brighton.

His masters degree in emotional intelligence should see him through ....

 

[AstroSloth]

That’s you, Facundo. Just stop it

Although one of their players did exactly the same in the second half, went down like he'd been shot, realised he wasn't getting the free kick and they were attacking and suddenly he was restored by the power of god to start running straight away

As did JPVH in the second half, went down in a heap after a tackle looking for a free kick and didn’t get the foul. Lazarus like recovery when he saw United still had the ball and were attacking

Ref was good imo

It was so obvious that getting those Prima Donnas on board was going to be a massive problem given his lack of winning anything and just being an average player himself. Called it the day he shat on us.

 

[Sirnormangall]

I actually thought today was the best “pop, pop, pop” we’ve seen for a while. Reminded me of last season.

I agree. Save for the last 10 mins of the first half we were very good. There was a passage of play in the 2nd half where I think we put together around 8 consecutive 1 touch passes. Our play can be jaw dropping at times.
