In what way is he “likeable”?
Heckingbottom
Yeah it's time unfortunately, I've backed him but this is as bad as it has been for a while. I think it's best for both parties to part ways at the end of the season, takeover or not.
Fresh ideas are needed all over the club, hopefully a formation change as well.

Zedans first task must be to get rid of Heckingbottom and his useless sidekick. We cant start next season with this inept duo in charge. Whiteman going off should have been a blessing until you realise he was bringing Thompson on, quite possibly the worst midfielder I've seen at deepdake in 20 years. Then takes off Moran who wss putting a shift in. To make it even worse brings smith on.

Up until fairly recently I’ve always thought his post match interviews were good and honest. He clearly works his bollocks off very hard and cares. He’s done his best to transform the recruitment side of things despite having one of the worst budgets in the league. I also don’t find him massively irritating or arrogant in the way Lowe was.
He’s clearly floundering now though. I thought he was going to do better, tbh.

He isn't Ryan Lowe.

There's a lot of truth in that. If the same words were said in a Scouse accent, everyone would be calling him a cunt.

Zero justifying taking Moran off when he was by far and away our best player in the first half.
Still can’t fathom how Lukovic isn’t getting a kick over Smith as well.
Get rid and give us at least a little bit of excitement if this takeover goes through please.

This is extreme underperformance. I predict more losses between now and the end of the season. He’ll get backed again this summer and next season will be much the same as this.
And we’ll blame the owners and/or Ridsdale, irrespective of crap tactics, poor selections, wrong formation

Took our only forward thinking player off at HT ? Not seen if it was an injury to Moran but if it was tactical absolute shit show of a decision and not the 1st time either 🤦♂️

But we were significantly better after he went off?
Like the player or not, as a team we definitely improved with Offiah and Small out wide, and Potts moved central.

Had enough, needs to go. His substitutions are wank as well.

Before and after we were just as ineffective. I didn't notice any significant improvement in any measure.

Time for him to go for me. He’s a one trick pony with no Plan B. Only knows one style of play, the team hasn’t evolved over the season, in fact we’ve fallen off a cliff in 2026, and individual players show no signs of development.
Substituting Potts with Smith just about sums Heckingbottom and this club up - if Lukovic is so bad, why put him on the bench?
