Ultimately, you reap what you sow. PH’s tactics are now so negative despite the numerous instances this season of conceding goals whilst on top. Season end can’t come quick enough although I suspect it will be just the same next season unless something major happens with the ownership.

Really? Which of the goals we conceded were a structural issue? They were both completely embarrassing. Honestly, who’d be a manager? When you prep all week and then two players go and do that.
Storey not bombing on meant he'd be behind Moran and give a safer option. For the first goal he's overlapped and gone out wide into Pol's spot. Wouldn't mind if it was Offiah doing that but Storey doesn't have the skillset
Second goal is a clusterfuck all around. Pol's made a simple, stupid error and Gibson/Storey arguably not alert enough

Story needs moved on and out. Simply not good enough for the Championship. And as for our Sheffield Wednesday signings - the less said the better

The post above is why he is a tactical disaster.
He is on course to have our two worst league finishes and points total since 2015.
Any club with ambition would have sacked him weeks ago.
Not saying you are wrong with the sacking part but with ambitious owners it would have followed much better recruitment.

He’s definitely on thin ice.
We need at least three more wins to give us confidence going into the next season.
Not sure we’ll get them.

Better recruitment.
But would you trust Hecky with funds when his marquee signing is Callum lang and was happy to see storey, Lindsay and Hughes extend contracts.
His football is defensive. ‘Doesn’t want to be bored on the sidelines.’ Well fans are bored watching his shit tactics.

On another day we come out 2-0 winners and everyone is praising the manager.
Im not saying the manager hasn't been at fault this season but the same posters find every small opportunity to have a go at Hecky.
We won’t…..
QPR , WBA and Southampton are tricky games given their current form.
Charlton, Brum and Sheff Utd away won’t be easy either.
We probably need to scrape another point or two from somewhere to be safe.

2nd half we showed no attacking intent
Yes the goals certainly weren’t down to the gaffer, the tactics absolutely were

Every small opportunity?
We were in a relegation battle under his watch last season and bar a fortunate start would have been this season. That isn’t a small opportunity. Relegation would have been massive.
He’s not good enough. End of. Phil brown was better and I despised that tanned prick.
We will be lucky to get three more draws, manager seems tactically inept, with a squad of which players are not Championship standard, seem disinterested and lack passion and motivation .🙁😡

Alex Neil was leading us to our worst league finish since promotion, before he was sacked. And he obviously isn’t a tactical disaster.
Ando, I say this politely but... give it a rest mate.
13 Points clear with only 18 available.
We would have to lose all 6 games whilst Oxford and Leicester (23rd and 22nd) would both have to win 5 out of their 6 remaining games.
I know you're a pessimist but even you must realise that we are beyond the threshold for safety.

Under Alex Neil we finished 7th , 13th and 9th until his squad was ripped away.
Under Hecky we bought in offiah, lang, jebbo, devine small, Iverson etc. He has a 27% win percentage which is abysmal. Fans who support this deserve mediocrity. An ambitious owner would sack him but we will probably have ridsdale begging him to stay.
