Have we Improved under Heckingbottom/Hecky Out.
He will get a better view from his vantage point and will be in contact with SM on the bench to change things, probably a good set up.

Yeah, but you’ve got to pick your battles. It’s the equivalent of carting someone into row z when the ball has already gone out for a throw in.I agree, however it’s probably in his nature to be like that and part of what makes him a good manager - he doesn’t take any shit or tolerate people not doing their job properly, whether that’s his players or the match officials,
He should try and avoid the getting sanctioned but I’d rather put up with the touchline bans if the alternative is a benign, passionless manager who doesn’t want to upset the apple cart.

I take that, up to a point, and I certainly don't want a "benign, passionless manager", but unless he can channel this more appropriately it's only going to hurt the club. What's he going to do next time this guy officiates one of our games?
I agree, I also made the point about the potential for referees to bear grudges against him/us.
As I said, he should try to stay on the right side of the law, but if he really can’t help himself that’s probably just a part of his character we’ll need to accept. Nobody’s perfect and he offers a lot more good things than bad.

Stuart McCall is more than capable on the sideline too.He will get a better view from his vantage point and will be in contact with SM on the bench to change things, probably a good set up.
Don’t think I’ve seen Big Dunc being accused of lacking passion on the pitch before…I can remember when folk were complaining about Craig Brown and Duncan Ferguson being lacking in passion (on the pitch)

Maybe, but if this is all we’ve got to moan about at the moment we’re in a pretty good place.

Gary Peters sat in the Pavilion stand with a youth player as a runner, we'll still have Stuart McCall and the other coaches who are all vocal during gamesHe will get a better view from his vantage point and will be in contact with SM on the bench to change things, probably a good set up.

Yeah it’s not that big of an issue, he’s still there to manage the teHe will get a better view from his vantage point and will be in contact with SM on the bench to change things, probably a good set up.
should be a lively away end, given some of the people who I’ve heard of got tickets👀 with a few very drunk booze buses arriving into WrexhamBe interesting to read the written reasons when published.
Back on the touchline at the same time as Milly returns to the team infront of a sold-out away end. Wrexham away already looks like a recipe for carnage

Gearing up to be some away day already that one.
I couldn't watch it.
Well I could, but chose not to.
I,'m really nervous watching PNE on the box.
At Deepdale, you've paid your money and have to go with it but away, I can go to the bog, have a brew, watch the lashers get beaten again, see Everton implode while keep checking the score.
Massive result and we're definitely in the mix.
COYW.⚽️🥅Boom!

Hecky has just made a massive difference. Last season, some of us did question if with him at the helm next, would anything change. A preseason and a transfer window with his signings shows that he has absolutely changed this squad our style and performances.
Postive goals difference. (As a fairly new support I have never seen)
One of the best defensive records
Attacking wise we are significantly better.
Currently 4th after last season being close to relegation and this season being relegation candidates.
Close the thread and back Hecky!!!

This thread cannot be closed - it would clearly be bad luck.
