"It's not only the results, but it's the performance as well. They were so well beaten by Ipswich and they just look like a team devoid of confidence - it was such a feeble attempt at a performance that I can't see anything other than a change of manager. I can totally understand why the rumour of Chris Wilder coming back is going around because he's been there and done it, and obviously got them to the play-offs last season."
"Yes, they just fell short, but a lot of those players are his players and maybe he's the one who can get a tune out of them. It just hasn't worked out with Ruben Selles. That's not to say he's a bad manager, it's just to say that he, the club and those players aren't the right fit. Sometimes you have to part ways sooner rather than later before it gets to the point where there is no chance of of them reviving the situation."
Sheffield United have lost all five of their Championship matches, scored one goal and conceded 12, leaving them bottom of the table despite receiving parachute payments and after reaching last season's play-off final. The performance against Ipswich was described as feeble and the squad appears devoid of confidence, prompting calls for a managerial change and speculation about Chris Wilder's return. Ruben Selles is judged to be a poor fit with the squad and club, with the assessment that an early change may be needed while recovery is still possible. Elsewhere, Stoke secured a 1-0 home win over Birmingham to move up to second with four wins from five matches.
