Hecky brought in 3 players in January that he wanted or so it was reported.
Lang was his choice and had been a target last summer, we paid a club record fee?
Milos was someone they had been looking at for sometime but their hand was forced by the Osmajic situation and they were trying to sell him but it didn't happen hence I think why we went for a loan and not a purchase.
Moran is a puzzler, didn't pull up any trees at Rovers whilst on loan and to buy him was a bit hasty in my opinion, that deal should have been a loan with an option to buy. We probably haven't seen enough of him to be fair but he blew a massive chance to force his way in by missing at against Portsmouth when clean through.
Something has simply gone wrong somewhere, whether it be tactics, formation or team selection. This is when your staff around you come to the fore. is McCall a strong enough character to tell Hecky what's going wrong or are they simply going through the motions knowing that the inevitable will happen.
Another area of concern has been the set piece issues, this is Peter MURPHY's area and for the last 2 years we have been awful with only the occasional one coming good like at Sheff Wed. Why have we been subjected to the terrible deliveries by Whiteman who doesn't seem to learn or change his approach, so many balls just dollied up in the air which result in a towering centre half heading it away or the keeper having catching practice or someone like Smith getting a header in which has all the power of heading a balloon just like when Murdock headed it all those years ago.
the drop of form by Gibson is alarming, he was rolls royce esq but sadly totally out of sorts, last Friday was painful enough but the 1st and 3rd goals were so poor and down to him
So what is the answer? I am at a loss, yes we would all like to see new owners but that comes with considerable risks. For me the team selection has been all wrong, players need breaks and rest but PH seems to keep faith with some which is obviously to the detriment of the team. There is a clear lack of leadership on the field of play. We are getting out played by very poor teams.
Good job we got the points of the board at the start of the season otherwise we would be bottom 3 and fighting to stay up once again.
I think that PH stays until the end of the season then its probably a parting of the ways for all concerned.
