This season has shown him up as the extremely limited manager many of us knew we had.
Tactically rigid, naive, stubborn and awful in-game IQ.
Slimane playing yesterday was more of the same we’ve seen since Wilder has come back, comes in and looks fantastic. Technically gifted and fearless, but he didn’t know ‘the shape’ so he can’t play under Heckyball rules.
Then you’ve got the Souza/Norwood conundrum which has now been proven correct. He looks a lot better without Norwood.
We MUST always play a back 5. Except when we don’t and get a clean sheet…
Everything that’s happening is painting Hecky as a manager in a worse light, I can’t see anything above Rotherham for him. He got the best side in the league up with the best player in the league upfront… apart from handling the off field stuff really well I don’t think he did anything out the ordinary.
I see a situation for him where he’s out of work for a long time. He will think he’s worthy of x job, but in reality he’s still pretty unfashionable and this season going the way it has will have killed all the good stuff he’s built for his reputation.
Very interested to see what happens next for him, and I do wish him luck.
