Oxford United boss Wilder calls out for a hero (From The Oxford Times)

• "Ok, all you "Wilder Out" folk, who do you replace him with?
  
  For every Alex Ferguson (who very nearly got the sack before his first cup win) or Brendan Rodgers (who was sacked by Reading before going to Swansea), there is always going to be a Darren Patterson, Graham Rix, Brian Talbot, Ian Atkins, David Kemp, Mark Wright, Bill Asprey, Mick Brown. The odds of appointing someone better are remarkably low.
  
  Year-on-year, we have finished in a higher position than the previous season under Chris Wilder. That suggests to me we are making steady progress in the right direction and it certainly does not warrant the dismissal of the best manager we've had for over a decade.
  
  History shows that the most successful teams are the ones with stability, who don't make knee-jerk reactions and who, in times of adversity, stick to their guns, stick to their objectives and see through the "sticky patch".
  
  We have played well on the whole in the last 3-4 games, but haven't been able to make the most of the chances that have come our way. Forget Midson - he showed against us both times exactly why we let him go - he was ineffective and didn't look that bothered both times. Did he even manage a shot in either game? Too easily bossed about.
  
  As for Matt Green, he's scored goals in the Conference, but has never really made it in the Football League - why were Torquay happy to let him go after they won promotion? Because they knew in order to progress, they had to and could do better.
  
  We've been unfortunate with Craddock's injury this season. He's a natural goalscorer and may well have got the goals that would have turned some of those draws into wins. As said, previously, maybe it's time to stick the young lad Marsh on the bench and give him a run out if needed.
  
  The amount of injuries we've had this season, would have derailed most teams. Look at the sides at the top, they're the ones who have been able to consistently name a corps of key players week-in-week-out. We've not been able to do that. Clearly this is something that needs to be addressed in the summer. What is the fitness/conditioning coach doing? The amount of strains, sprains and pulled muscles has been ridiculous."
