All on Hecky this one

[Flatcap]

If you get the lineup wrong (which Hecky clearly did and it was obvious before kickoff), then accept the fact and make the right substitutions. At 27 mins, it was obvious Bogle and Fleck needed to come off for Baldock and Doyle but no, brings Sharp on. Definitely on Hecky today.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

After 20 minutes you could see the selection was wrong. Have some bollocks and make a sub to change the flow of the game.

Making no changes even at half time is inexcusable for me.

He's got to get it right midweek or he's on a short plank.

Wilson lost his job while in a top six position, the run of 'form' was not quite as dire as this either

 

[United Aren't Back.]

And so he should. He's been calling Hecky out for months and gets caned on here. A lot of posters should be eating a fair portion of humble pie during the next few weeks.

Towards that cunt..?.. No way.

 

[adiosmiamigo]

Do we sack him now?

If we do go up then we'll be embarrassed week in, week out in the Premier League.

If we stay down then why stick with him given the manner in which he'd have thrown away a huge lead? The whole squad would need a rebuild, so bring in someone new who can pick a formation and tactics and bring the players who they need to play them.

What do we do as we're not going to turn this around on current and the majority of performances this year? Boro are closing the gap, have confidence and form, are playing well and rightfully believe that they can catch us.

What do we do? Hecky sure as hell won't drop his favourites, won't change his formation and won't change his tactics.

Don't sack him,no one can turn this team into a promotion winning team,4 points clear of third,maybe but looking nothing like a top championship side.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Dismal shite, that. Nesh bastards, the lot of them. I didn't think football could make me so angry anymore, but that piss poor show has done me in well and truly. Lost the game as soon as the teamsheet went in.

 

[Micky Narker]

Hecky is a PE teacher who will keep picking Berge and Fleck over Doyle and McAtee unless they are crocked. Need Stoke and Preston to do us a massive favour against Boro in next two games because PH is as much use as a fishnet condom. Sacking him is a pipedream though, who realistically comes in at this stage?

He’s on a five year contract , do you think the prince can afford to pay that up?
Agree though that it’s been shit since the World Cup and you were just waiting for them to rediscover some form but it’s starting to look like we’re not going to

 

[Bladesman]

Fleck, Norwood, Berge and Bogle should not be anywhere near the starting 11 against Sunderland .

That midfield again is a waste of time. It needs energy and those 3 are the slowest you could choose.

 

[K1 flabby stick]

At one minute past two I could see the selection was wrong.

 

[JackSUFC]

That first half was as bad as I’ve seen since Adkins was in the dug out. No energy, no passion, no desire, no quality. They needed a rocket up their arse at half time but the second half was another timid display of nothingness.

It was very Adkins, sideways sideways, down the channel then turn back and more sideways sideways...

I know Coulibaly is feeling his way. But he's at least athletic. I wasn't sure if we should put too much pressure on him. But, it would almost be impossible to play as badly as both Fleck and Bogle did today, unless you were genuinely trying to.

Hecky seems to be immune to monitoring player form. He's become so obsessed on fitness, whether you actually play well or not seems academic.

We fell away badly after the Boxing Day loss to Wednesday years back and failed to go up when well placed.

The same has happened with Boro.

Just like 'doing a Fulham', if people looked into it hard enough (weren't we 10 points clear at one point under Warnock too in his Prem season?) You'll see that 'doing a Sheffield United' could actually become a thing

Blow points leads and can't win play-offs. That is our thing.

Most fans could see the selection was wrong at 2pm

 

[Nelson1889]

He obviously had an idea around the line up but if it's gone wrong at least have the self awareness to admit you've got it wrong and change it.

The arrogance, or plain idiocy, to not make a change even at half time when everybody with eyes could see it wasn't working was unbelievable.

 

[Keen Blade]

Talk about a club that has fucked itself
Looking at oblivion if not promoted
Owner wants out
Appoints mediocre man on 5 year contract
No leadership from the top since bullshit takeover
Manager & club captain publicly criticise refs
Manager can't pick a team or manage a game to save his life
Look like throwing away one of the biggest gaps to 3rd
If Hecky can't man up to this job now , he never will

 

[Rochdaleblade]

We look more like a relegation squad at the minute. Creating nothing, people not taking responsibility, feeling sorry for ourselves. The manager has to take the blame for this shitshow.

Micky.
Absolutely spot on. PE teacher.
That describes him perfectly.

 

[Nightsweats]

Screamingly obvious for months but all those idiots who see through rose coloured glasses just called out "bedwetters". Well all you so clever knownowts. Bet your mattresses are drenched tonight as the clueless non manager destroys our season.
Luton came on bended knee offering us 3 points.

At least Watford have the cojones to sack rubbish and have a go.
we don't have an owner so can't even try that.

The irony is we'll be up for Blackburn. Win it so we can break everyones hearts at Wembley before falling into the play offs to break them again.

Only this football club.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Heckingbottom the tactical genius has been found out, surprised its taken this long.
I did warn you all he shouldn't be anywhere near a club of this size cheap option.

We won’t go up. They will catch us. He won’t change his tactics.

 

[Nightsweats]

He dosen't have any tactics. His only move is subbing Doyle for McAtee or vice versa. The idiot screwed that up today today because he hadn't started either of them. Utter joke of a manager. Said it for months and months as have others. Hate to be right on a negative but this clown will ensure we don't go up.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Wilson lost his job while in a top six position, the run of 'form' was not quite as dire as this either

Wilson was very unlucky!

Get rid. Out of his depth. Inherited a good squad but has been found out by clever opposition managers

 

[Richeee]

Absolutely. Anyone who has ever played the game could see it a mile off. Only chance we have got now if he totally changes his tactics and stops playing players who’s legs have clearly fucked off!

He won't though will he? That's the problem he picks the same players (when fit) week after week and they are NOT performing and he somehow thinks they are

 

[Weasel]

There is a absolutely no excuse for PH today. Not only did he get the starting team selection wrong in the middle of the park, he didn't have the sense to think about changing it at half time when the game was still there to be won. No excuses at all.

i dont think we will but it would be a brave and courageous thing to do and might just save our season because believe me were going nowhere with hecky in charge

 

[Chingo]

When we were flying pre World Cup Baldock/Bogle and Anel on the right and on the left we had Enda/Lowe and they were in the opposition box more than they were in ours , we had Berge joining George and Anel on the right and they couldn’t live with us … forward to post World Cup we have Berge playing central and he’s crap there needs to be more to the right , Anel hardly getting forward at all.
Fleck in for either of the two Man City lads wtf?
Norwood and Bogle and Lowe losing all form and looking like non league players of late… but the manager keeps picking them add to that going more defensive/cautious which we are not good at and abandoning the style of play that got us clear in second and it was gonna drop off like it has , get the line up close to the one that played Spurs in on Wednesday and we will see an improvement imo!

 

[MK4BLADE]

Heckingbottom is the ultimate honeymoon period manager. At all his clubs hes had 6-12 months of excellence with a high win percentage, then he loses the mojo/gets found out, wins about 2 of 15 and gets sacked. Happened at Barnsley, Leeds and Hibernian

As others have said hes the cheap option and he's a relatively mediocre manager really who has been made to look good until now for us by having individual brilliance from predominantly Iliman.
