[007]

Hecky seems to be doing his best to get his contract paid up.

 

[Bladeslife]

This midfield is fucking pathetic!

Very generous of you to call it a midfield

 

[Glen Luce]

This midfield is fucking pathetic!

 

[toledo]

We have zero plan, style, or foundation to win games, its just the same, week in and week out. I do have to question what tactics are worked on in practice everyday, which is probably 1 hour, M and W,

 

[Bobby b]

Ot is so easy for them to find a pass anywhere on the pitch, if we lose it in a forward position we just give up and trot back and not put any sort of challenge in

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Norwood, Fleck, Hamer must be the least athletic midfield ever put out in PL history

And if it isn't it'll probably be 2nd to one of our previous efforts

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Good effort from ollie

 

[Sheffsteel]

Who going to be the first idiot who pipes up with “pep couldn’t do better with our players”

Thats one of the cliches that's totally inaccurate.

You only need to look at Sheff Wed, losing every week and clueless under Munoz, hardly even having an attack.

They swap for his German manager and instantly look better, more organised, even trying harder/ more motivated etc.
They are still losing virtually every game but at least now they are competitive and have plenty of attacks every game.

Highly confident it would be the same if we sacked Hecky, we'd instantly look like a decent Championship team.
Think we'd still lose most games under a new managers but we'd give the opposition problems and have plenty of attacks.

 

[Frank the tank]

So.... is the fans disapproval still not going to extend beyond voting in a poll online or what?

Hecky's a defeatist chump and the owner is utterly detached

This is a damaging period for the club

what do you suggest ?

 

[HarryHaslam]

In what world would he not have been sacked by now?

I firmly believe he has not been sacked because so many fans have been behind him regardless how shit we are and how clueless he looks, the Prince will have noted this backing… he should have been sacked months ago anyone could see it, pure self sabotage by not sacking him.

Even if we get beat 5-0 today there will still be some who are behind him

 

[Sheffsteel]

Thats my issue too.

Under Wilder, the common complaint was, we appear to have no plan B

but under Hecky, we don't even appear to have a plan A.
Can anyone explain what our style of play is and what our tactics are to try and score a goal?

 

[Glen Luce]

A cursory reading of previous posts over three years will find comments on Norwood falling into two main camps; those; the decreasing but sadly plentiful number who take a sentimental and naive, blinkered view that he is somehow a class act, and the growing, but always a majority view, that he is a problem. he cannot tackle without fouling, he needs ages on the ball to make a choice, he has zilch vision and runs into safety by default, feigning the appearance of confidence by pointing perpetually to others to do stuff he should have done

 

[drblade]

George hamstring.

FFS

It's the current fashion of divisive non critical thinking.

They are behind Hecky because.......they like him....and that's the bottom line. There's also a fashion of victimhood....Hecky has been given a tough hand to deal with.....so some fans give him a free pass to do whatever he wants with zero accountability.

 

[Blade56]

Think everyone’s over reacting, that was only the 15th ever fastest goal scored in the PL. nailed on win.

Yes, defend, defend, run around, hope for a 90th minute penalty and voila. Reminiscent of the great Brazilian sides of yore

 

[LS5 Blade]

Plan A was hope N'Diaye gets us out of the shit
Plan B is watch DVDs of the Wilder era and use players from said era
Plan C is to get sacked

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Hecky seems to be doing his best to get his contract paid up.

He wants out

 

[paidsy]

That might be Furious George’s last act in the red & white I fear.

I think i can answer this one,I believe our tactic to try and score a goal is to pass it around until pressured by the opposition. Then Boot it long and hope for the best

 

[SUFCinks]

Good effort from ollie

Got to enjoy the positives. Cracking hit!

 

[Shakespeare blade]

Was it really bad injury, sorry I’m in krakow struggling for any information

 

[SUFCinks]

Hecky out now

 

[SUFCinks]

Fuck off

 

[drblade]

FFS. Fuck off Hecky

 

[Bladeslife]

Well that's that. Who's up for more punishment.

 

[Frank the tank]

pathetic

 

[Il Coltello]

If he has any self respect left, just go man.

 

[Gee]

Has Monty python wrote Heckys so called tactical handbook?

 

[DanOundogg]

Embarrassing
