What on earth. You do realise the role of wing backs is to defend and attack don't you?

Almost like they’re not attackers and not defenders but some third thing in the middle

We couldn’t get the final pass right because by the time we got around to making it our strikers had given up guessing when it’s going in and their defenders were well set.

Not always. Some crosses were cut out easily have to remember when we were in very dangerous positions

Wilder trying to win some cov fans hearts in this interview lol

 

[Winny the Bish]

I fucking love Norman Bassette.

 

[Nick]

Bidwell was atrocious when he came on.

He was on for a few minutes after injury.

He didn't cost us 2 goals

What's he saying

 

[skybluecam]

He’s a wide midfielder that’s not his primary job.

He’s a wingback. Defending is certainly as important as anything else in that position.

 

[gspotgaz]

What's he saying

If our players ran around in other games like todays robins would still be in a job

 

[shmmeee]

He was on for a few minutes after injury.

Calm down Nick. Bidwell playing badly doesn’t mean you can’t also slate Dasilva

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’m convinced Shmeee has had a bang on the head recently. To say a LWB’s job is not primarily to defend is mental

 

[Tommo1993]

Bidwell looked like he hadn’t been warming up. Was that the case?

 

[clint van damme]

Almost like they’re not attackers and not defenders but some third thing in the middle

It's not really relevant. He gets targeted for a reason.
I think he avery good player technically so I don't like been harsh on him.
Though their second was just down to him pissing about

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Good performance. Unlucky, but Dasilva culpable for both goals.
Only criticism from me thought Simms should have come on instead of Asante in the first batch of subs.

BTA did much more when he came on than Simms though

 

[Sick Boy]

If our players ran around in other games like todays robins would still be in a job

 

[covcity4life]

What's he saying

If cov players ran like today a few weeks ago maybe robins would still have his job

Wilder acting like his players have never done anything wrong

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

They're not wide midfielders though. When the opposition break they have to drop back. That almost certainly is his job....

 

[clint van damme]

Bidwell looked like he hadn’t been warming up. Was that the case?

It's a bit of a stretch (I'm here all week)

 

[gspotgaz]

Just saying what wilder said

 

[Nick]

He’s a wide midfielder that’s not his primary job.

What?

 

[shmmeee]

I’m convinced Shmeee has had a bang on the head recently. To say a LWB’s job is not primarily to defend is mental

They’re defensive midfielders. They play level with the DM pivot in a 3421

 

[Liquid Gold]

What on earth. You do realise the role of wing backs is to defend and attack don't you?

They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get 'round the back

 

[shmmeee]

I’ve had this argument before but three at the back and five at the back aren’t the same thing and full backs and wingbacks aren’t the same thing.

 

[Nick]

If our players ran around in other games like todays robins would still be in a job

Probably wouldn't have made attacking changes

 

[clint van damme]

BTA did much more when he came on than Simms though

We were working the ball wide and think we would have benefitted from his aerial presence

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Sakamoto is our best crosser of the ball in the squad from open play by an absolute country mile.

other than Rudoni

 

[Ccfcisparks]

A wingback is a defensive midfielder I’ve heard it all now

 

[PVA]

Bidwell looked like he hadn’t been warming up. Was that the case?

Guessing we were done with subs and there was probably no plan for Bidwell to get any minutes today, but then obviously Dasilva went down.

Those two are chalk and cheese really. Dasilva is poor defensively but infinitely better on the ball than Bidwell. Horses for courses really so I guess they'll share the shirt for the season (or until January at least ).

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Rhys Carr has done a decent job managing the club to be fair. Tough 2 games in charge and the players have shown more fight these last 2 games. Maybe deserves to be kept on by Lampard if that’s who takes over. Time to get behind the new boss. Think Dovin deserves a recall as I’m still not entirely convinced by Collins whose reading of the passage of play/flight of the ball can be suspect.

 

[TomRad85]

Looking forward to Bassette and Wright

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It wa

I thought we got some good play between winger and wing back towards end. Made space in the box for once

Just couldn't get that final pass or cross right

Sheafs chance from corner was great I can't believe he shot it wide

s deflected wide

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Wilder acting like his players have never done anything wrong

“I’m not condoning what our player did or making excuses but I’m gonna talk about what Bassette did for the duration of this interview”.

I think LB/LWB has to be high priority in Jan.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Yes it is

 

[jay2015]

What a c**t wilder is going on about city this city that going on about bassant what he did before red card then was it on his nlkneck or face
