Well done Hecky

[Seanshoreham]

doesn't get much praise - but came good tonight

 

[FTPE]

All our old 'reliable players' from the past few years showed up today.
Fleck, bash, Norwood, Egan, Baldock and even Enda!

But yeah, congrats to Hecky too.
He's clearly not let the players give up at least.

 

[Nelson1889]

Did what he should have done first week he got the job. Fair play to him though he did well tonight.

To me though that was the kind of performance where the players know the new gaffer is watching.

 

[Heely bottoms underpants]

That's more like it boys. Proud of you tonight.
Gives me hope for next season, which was much needed and appreciated.

[FifeBlade]

Welcome back Blades, missed you this season.
Well done Hecky, takes balls to leave a 23 million player on the bench.
Team performance, everyone up for it. Just like the good old days. Ah well. Gives us hope for next season .
UTB.

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Credit to the bloke.

 

[JayGreen17]

Gets the praise - but this shouldn’t make any difference in the decision in bringing in SJ.

 

[Seanshoreham]

Who knows, a couple of more good results, good for the blokes CV ??

How embarrassing, I just forgot the Irish Zidane didn't I?
Magnificent today.

That was the first thought I had, they knew who the new manager is & would be watching so left it all out there.

Whatever the reason is was good to see the real Sheffield United, it's been far too long.

As unbelievably bad as this season has been we are only 1 point behind Norwich’s points total from last season.

im not sure we’ve played well enough consistently to give him the job but he’s done ok in a no win situation. And in fairness he’s blooded some young lads which can’t be a bad thing.

 

[Bergen Blade]

3-4-3 has given us more solidity, and improved our pressing.

3-5-2 has turned into 5-3-2 for us this season. The two strikers have been unable to stop anything and with five players in defence, the three midfielders have had a tough job. Such a shame that Wilder refused to try something different earlier in the season.

In today's 3-4-3 the front three were all doing their bit to prevent Everton getting their passing moves started. Osborn and McGoldrick made it a midfield four at times and this enabled the defence to be more aggressive. In general we looked really up for it and our structure was good. We kept good distances between players and departments and this meant we were in good positions to make interceptions, blocks and last ditch tackles when it was needed.

Getting our defensive organisation right is vital to us. Get that right and we may see attacking benefits, like last season.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Weird we didnt even make any subs! Well played lads.

 

[metalblade]

Credit to him no unnecessary substitutions and no Lundstram

That says everything. We have made subs to bring that clown on! When he is no where near the pitch we seem snappier, hungry and actually proud to wear the shirt. And yes, I am not a lunny fan.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

We saw tonight what has been missing all season, a system change, something bold and new.

Didsy in a free role was the reason we played so well and we actually used possesion of the football well for once, he was outstanding and showed us all tonight what his role will be next season.

Yep, credit to PH for today but it took him long enough to see and try this formation. You were calling for it months ago. Think it helps having a strong tall pacey player to be the central forward.

 

[S40BLADE]

Nice new jumbo deal to stay with the u23s me thinks.

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

Yep well done hecky and all the lads,one of a few positives of wilder leaving we finally gave a youngster a chance and he took it,wilder wouldn't have played jebbison in a month of Sunday's,finally was it just me or did hecky distance himself away from the job again when asked.

 

[dc_blade]

Clever management on a number of fronts from Hecky today. He hasn't got everything right since he stepped in but he has tried to change things where he can and, for me, we have played more attractive football under him and tried to keep it on the deck a bit more. I hope he's not the next permanent manager (and I don't think he will be) but he's gone up in my estimation overall.

 

[McGoaldrick]

Better ppg than wilder this season lol fair play to him

 

[finlaytheblade]

No need for subs all 11 doing there job is that a first this season?

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Credit to him no unnecessary substitutions and no Lundstram

Only at S24su, lunny didn't even play and still gets stick.

 

[BladeTillIDie]

I know but it's rare. Don't forget Robinson and Jebbison haven't had much game time.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Agreed, totally unfair.

I actually think it was his best game all season.

 

[finlaytheblade]

There ain't much game time left but yes! Jebbo' is only a kid and Robinson as you say not been fit for months.

 

[BushBlade]

Another full 90 for Didsy too. To say he’s about 57 and was considered injury prone when he’s joined us, he’s been a revelation. And it’s the first time I’ve ever heard Keown liken one of our players to Zidane.
