Which players, I mean contracted players not the loan signings, do you think lacked appetite or the attitude to prove themselves this season?

Good point, I don't think there's been an attitude problem at all. Warnock described them as a good set of lads when he normally would be more likely to throw them under the bus after his sacking. 

I don't think there's been an attitude problem at all, the poor run of form has been the result of us lacking quality and a bit of tactical nous to break teams down. 

Talking about attitude now feels like a deflection exercise.

I think he means is that a lot of the current players do not have the correct attitude to succeed, that he believes that if they did then despite their lack of ability they wouldnt have lost the games that they did!

So with a squad full of players without the correct attitude to succeed, and with a lack of ability, we finished with 70 points this season, and knocked two Premier League clubs out of the FA Cup?  Nothing about that seems a bit off to you?

Aye, it does a bit.  We've just been pumped 4-1, and he's saying what he knows some fans will lap up.  "Players who will run through brick walls", it's a load of *** really but some people love it.  Morsy was that type of player, trouble is he wasn't very good.  I don't want a squad full of players who "want to die for the football club", I just want some good players, and a manager capable of getting the best out of them 🤷‍♂️

I reckon we might try cash in on Jones. Think he might be one of the surprise ones

Was thinking the same London lad probably missing being closer to his routes and to be fair and as much as I am being open to attack he has been one of the most let downs final third of the season. He fits everything Wilder has stated

In your opinion CT does Wilder fit that bill?

You’re probably watching the Stoke one.

Regarding attitude look how far that and determination has taken Luton. Full of free transfers they have shown a collective spirit can go a long way in the Championship.

Qualities we seem to lack

The more he actually says the less I think he is sadly.  I suppose we've got to see what happens in the summer though.  Right now he's annoyed and he's saying what he's saying I think to keep the fans onside.  I would hope that the various people at the club are thinking in broader terms than signing people who will run through brick walls though.

Well said.

Stating the obvious and changing it are two very different things entirely

They only finished 5 points ahead of us.  Last season they finished below us.  They've had a good season but let's see if it's a one off or if it will continue next season.  I think people were saying similar things about Barnsley last year, and they've just finished bottom behind a team who were docked 21 points.

Alternatively he feels as the season has ended he can relay his true feelings…

Do you think they were his true feelings when we were winning however many in a row at home, and knocking out Spurs?

No, but with the correct attitude and more ability then there is a fair chance that we would have finished higher

Probably not. But since Spurs there’s been a number of performances that were, frankly, exceptionally poor. 
 

And I would put it to you, if you can’t get yourself up for a massive game against a Champions League chasing team you shouldn’t be playing the game
