Spawny to the nth degree. I said it at the time (though I was pleased we finally won) stood by it, and I believe I’m vindicated in that.
All 3 goals were fortunate in those two games. Though the second half was much better than the first against Wolves, we still didn’t create anything of note through skill or incisive play - what happened was a ricoched pass off their defender that turned into the perfect through ball for Archer. Jammy. But great finish.
Then the penalty… well it’s not a penalty is it? But a great finish with serious bollocks from Norwood.
So that’s result 1: very fortunate and keeps the dead man walking in a job.
Result 2: Brighton. We were getting pasted, absolutely rinsed. The first half was the second most pathetic I’ve seen this season, then yesterday happened. But we looked like a pub team, the tactics were allover the shop and we just kept giving them the ball back.
Somehow they didn’t manage a second, they get a man sent off and the game changes. We scored through an OG and then never really tried to win it. Fair play though, it’s a good point even if it’s lucky.
So that’s two results where we got lucky, didn’t create anything of note through our own good play and ended up with 4 points. Yesterday we didn’t get any good fortune and didn’t have a shot on target until the 97th minute.
What do we do in training?
But that’s put credit in the bank for Hecky and given him plenty time in the job unfortunately, I suspect it’s enough to get him through December. Depressing.
