Evans didn't play at all.

He came on for Colwill after 73 mins

Am I right in thinking he was stubborn in his ways as well or am I remembering that differently?

He's obviously done well and could do a job here but I have lingering doubts. It's almost like it's impossible to to please us in this search.. I just don't want a carbon copy again, I am crying out for change.

He lost his way in the market, seemingly had no idea how to improve the side at that level and they ended up signing some stinkers. Maybe he was too loyal to the system and players that got Sheffield United to the PL and didn't want to rock the boat too much.

I'd take Wilder tomorrow if he was up for it, he's not exactly a young manager but he's not in the dinosaur category and I think he's less of a risk than going completely left-field and getting young progressive manager (I'd love us to move toward that eventually, but I don't think it's feasible with the squad we have right now). Priority has to be avoiding relegation this season and hopefully we can rebuild next season when a ton of contracts are up, I think Wilder is a good choice for that job.

I wouldn't be enamoured with Wilder being appointed.

Me neither. However, it's looking more and more probable that if we don't make a change soon we'll fall into the bottom three and struggle to get out. Again, Cardiff City has got itself into a great position, failed to capitalise and now we're desperate. MM was hired on a short term contract, did what was needed and gave the club the luxury of almost six months to find a suitable long-term replacement. The lazy, unimaginative short-termism the club has demonstrated since our most recent relegation is sickening.

7 in a row, Mick's a legend.
Can he make it 8 and claim a spot on his own in our record books?

Yes he did. Came on alongside Harris.

I'm not really sure mate. Only going on how bad they were during the relegation season, and by god, it was bad. SU looked amateur on times. Maybe i'm being a bit harsh, (i am being harsh) but that was a fall from grace in my opinion. No issue with them being relegated, it's the way they were relegated. just my opinion.

He got them promoted without parachute payments and then kept them up by being innovative tatically. It just didn't work for them the second season, their defensive solidity seemed to disappear and they had nothing to offer up front. I'd like to see if he can recapture what he set up with SU. I can't see Flint or Morrison working as an overlapping Centre back, but we've seen McGuiness and Brown used as sort of wing backs, and we've seen pack used in the back line, so perhaps it isn't a million miles away

I can't really believe people are turning their noses up at Wilder considering the state we're in. His record is fantastic and at 54 is hardly ancient in managerial terms, his last season at Sheffield United was very bad but that shouldn't discount his successes prior (which of course includes a 9th placed finish in the Premier League)

Yes he did. Came on alongside Harris.

He looks a good prospect, too.
