Chris Wilder’s full post-Luton press conference watfordfc
When he spoke to the media after yesterday’s 2-0 defeat at Luton, Chris Wilder looked and sounded like a man full of a combination of anger, bitter disappointment and disbelief.
“They’ve got it going forward and we’re just stop/start. At times I see some really good things and at times I see some stuff that is really head-shaking. “I was pretty critical to the players: I’m an honest manager and I think you’ve seen that in my dealings with the media and previous players and previous teams, it’s up front, it’s there, there’s no hiding place. And there is no hiding place and there wasn’t today.
“Tactically it was a game of two shapes against each other. Their 5-3-2 against our 5-3-2. But their front two were better than our front two, their midfield three were better than our midfield three, their wing-backs were better than our wing-backs, and their back three were better than our back three.
“I suppose the biggest disappointment is when you have so many so-called talented players, the amount of times we turn the ball over is just incredible. We could never build a head of steam up. We could never dominate. We could never dictate the game. We never really had an unbelievable foothold in the game.
“The messages are clear but at the moment in the games it’s a toss of a coin what Watford turns up. At times, really good – at times, not good enough.“They had pace and power, they dropped on first balls, dropped on second balls and played better football than us. Wilder: “It can’t always be the coach’s fault. If you look back at my past record in terms of building teams, you have to have that time. I knew the situation, but we’ve just been so inconsistent.
“If me and you sat in the pub this afternoon and had a couple of pints, and we said did he do well, did he do well – I don’t think there would be an incredible difference in our views. “I’ll always look at my performance and the preparation in terms of the limited time that I’ve had here at the club, and the limited time I’ve had this week.
“I’m just working for the football club, I don’t want to go too deep into what the club wants or what its profile is or what its DNA is. That’s not my decision.
