Speaks well and held my attention for 10 minutes. Clearly lots to say and 'unpick' for them. Didn't explicitly give us any credit but he's despondent and probably doesn't want to detract from what he feels is 100% their set of issues.
He picks out Hamer, among others. So many mentioned Hamer as the key man before the game and this chap had higher expectations too. Did one of ours do a job on Hamer, or collective effort?

I think a lot of Sheffield United’s problems are that they have a really good squad of great individual players, but there hasn’t been much thought to how they fit together as a squad/team.
Hamer is their best player, but O’Hare is also one of their best players and they play the same position, so Hamer ends up out on the left (or out of the team in Selles last game). I think the owners were hoping to sell Hamer this summer and maybe reinvest in the rest of the team, but it didn’t happen and they ended up panic buying poorly at the end of the window instead

I think this is probably accurate, if you looked at things like passing stats or xG etc etc then Hamer is a "better" player than (for arguments sake) Docherty... but Docherty has a specific job in a team/formation that he was chosen for, whereas Utd were just a collection of 11 players to a certain extent.
I think Wilder will probably do enough to at least keep them up by the end of the season but there's a distinct lack of overall vision compared to Jones’s very definite plan.
They do have some good players but there is something missing. I can't see them getting promoted but they shouldn't be at the bottom. A problem they have is I think this is their final year of parachute payments. Mind you, Luton have a bigger problem in terms of that. And it is not a good look, sacking your manager, then sacking his replacement and bringing back the manager you sacked a few months earlier. It suggests a club which is badly run and rudderless.
Wilder should come out and say that this season is about staying up and next season is about having a push for promotion. A bit like Nathan Jones did with us but at a lower level.

I spent most of the 10 minutes trying to work out if he was wearing lederhosen
edited with even better image. huge gaping goal to aim at to GKs right, or the roof of the net, but that's going straight at the keepers body. that's not where you should be aiming for!!
Imo he just hit it as it came to him. No time to think about where to place it. Just hit & hope. 50% of the time it goes in, 50% the keeper saves it or is blocked by the defender. In recent times the percentages for us have been 10/90 (Leicester comes to mind). On this occasion it went in. No point dwelling on it. Move on.
