Need to do this after 14 games really. Or at least based on same amout of games

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Needs a graph.
Oh and add PPG.

Yeah I guess, but Wilder has arguably had a harder run. Liverpool, Chelsea, City, Villa twice, Brighton and West Ham, all in just 10 games.

That said you could argue hecky had to deal with the fallout of losing ndiaye and berge on the eve of the league campaign

Wilder hasn't faced Brighton in the league yet. But broken down, that is a tough run of fixtures:

• Liverpool
• Brentford
• Chelsea
• Villa
• Luton
• Man City
• West Ham
• Palace
• Villa
• Luton

Oh and add PPG.

Hecky = 0.36ppg
Wilder = 0.8ppg

If Wilder maintains 0.8ppg for the final 14 games, we finish on 24points, which won't be enough. Luton are already on 20points.

Remaining games are:

1. Brighton (h)
2. Wolves (a)
3. Arsenal (h)
4. Bournemouth (a)
5. Man Utd (a)
6. Fulham (h)
7. Liverpool (a)
8. Chelsea (h)
9. Brentford (a)
10. Burnley (h)
11. Newcastle (a)
12. Forest (h)
13. Everton (a)
14. Spurs (h)

Win the ones in bold and we stay up. Simples

Forget how their teams did. I want to know what would happen in a fight between them. Wilder's a bit of a bruiser so you'd imagine he'd give Hecky a good pasting, but I reckon Hecky might have some dirty tricks up his sleeve.

More chance of beating Spurs at home on the final day that Wolves away. Can't see us winning at Everton or Brentford either.

 

[nopigfansintown]

We've been in every game under Wilde except Villa. That's my main take. We've also blooded Osula and Brooks a lot more, and experimented tactically in a number of games. The players look fitter and more driven. The Gillingham away game was negotiated really well. That looked like a bit of a nightmare at the time

My thoughts are Bill you've got to get a hobby

 

[Pintor75]

Agree we look more solid atm, but Both scored 11 goals home & away, yet you give average
0.79 Hecky
1.1 Wilder ?

 

[Brian Deane]

Wilder needs to do one thing if he's here next season and that is to get "Fatlad" back and I don't mean playing for the 1st 11 either.

 

[1987]

Hecky had 4 more games.

If we don't score any in the next 4, their average will be the same.

To do what? Bake cakes?

If we've learnt one thing through this entire fiasco it's that it's 2024 and the rest of the PL couldn't give a flying fuck about sentiment. It's a high performance sporting landscape and we need the best available players and coaches in our programme not the ones who once played here.

If we're ever to break this perpetual cycle, we need to get out of this fucking Bladey McBladey world in which most of our fan base seems to exist.

I much rather he spent his coaching budget on getting the best strength & conditioning coach he can afford.

Hecky would kick fuck out of Wilder, he's a lot fitter and he's got that angry streak where he can put hands on people like with that Spence cunt (hilarious career trajectory there)

 

[Brian Deane]

Yeah, some nice Fairy cakes, yum yum

I think Hecky will use his superior fitness to his advantage. While Chris may have a bit more form "on the cobbles" he's two peroni's away from being morbidly obese, and Hecky's fitness will lead him to prevail. Hecky needs to survive Chris's swings in the first round, make him miss a bit, the usual herol graham stuff. Then once Chris is puffing like Thomas the Tank Engine mid asthma attack, Hecky would start to punish Chris with some sickening body shots, with a final hook to the liver rendering Chris helpless, with the ref calling it off midway thru round 2...after a 10 minute VAR check of course

Fat lad's seen as good enough for Hull. I bet Wilder is tempted to give him a squad number if we're in the Championship next season.

If it came down to it Wilder would probably fight dirty. I reckon he'd smash a bottle of Peroni against a wall and threaten Hecky with the broken bottle. Hecky would take one look, say 'yeah' and leg it.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Wilder would attack but look at damage limitation if he went behind whereas Hecky would defend and not look to move forwards unless Wilder fell over.

My main thought is that this post achieves absolutely nothing, nada, zilch - you need a new hobby

 

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

I fucking hope not. Last time we were in the championship he took minutes off Osula and Jebbison...

Would be an absolute piss take if this happened, the modern game and us in particular need athleticism and speed, billy has neither now

 

[Bell4]

My thoughts are Bill you've got to get a hobby

There’s real passion in what he’s delivered- well done him , an interesting analysis .

But it’s a bit like picking pepper out of fly shit to end up with the same outcome and conclusion - as in the problem is much more than Hecky and Wilder

Wilder is a big man, but he’s out of shape. Plus Heckingbortom has that Barnsley inbred feightin’ gene.

Love your analogy Bell.Proper chucklesome

 

[BalticBlade]

I'd be interested to see how Hecky and Wilder's shoulder stats compare

 

[CopenhagenBlade]

If my memory is correct then when Wilder walked out the back door, last time, Hecky came in and had a better ppg. It’s pointless comparing these things to prove a point. Wilder has come in and done an ok job. If he keeps us up, he has done an amazing job but it’s next year that he will be properly judged on

 

[fifty shades of blade]

Ahh but we all know that bloke down the pub who was once in the SAS and is a Krav Maga master. Maybe Hecky is that man, but actually was what he boasted about, and shoved the broken bottle up Chris's rusty bullethole sideways?

 

[1987]

Did Wilder go out of the back door? Been nice not hearing that for 30 seconds.

Would the Wilder team (sans signings) beat the Hecky team? Yes, yes they would. Stats also suggest it, I just wish both teams were more solid at the back.

Anybody remember the celebrity deathmatch stuff from back in the day? With the playdough figures. That'd be an entertaining watch RE: Hecky and Wilder.
