Heckingbottom

I still think that had Lowe still have been our manager last season we would definitely have been relegated.

PH had us 90 mins from it. Survived by the skin of his teeth really.

It's hardly been much of an improvement.

 

[HunterLionheart]

You really think we were the better side second half or are you just on the wind-up?

We had the better of the game, not by much, but completely serious.

 

[Yeti]

Would it really? Because I thought the consensus today was that we were playing sideways and backwards all the time?

Confused.

Sideways and backwards followed by an aimless punt by Hughes to no one is our go to from the Hecky playbook

Not according to Alan Kelly we didn’t who pretty much said we were poor all game and outplayed by West Brom to a man

 

[Durutti]

Heard quite a lot of bollockings and screaming particularly towards the younger players? Any truth in that?

I'm honestly going to be happy to see the back of this plank

 

[janiejones]

The same game the linesman on the Finney side was watching. At least three times the ball was well over the line and he didn’t give us the throw in.

You forgot the first half corner he gave West Brom, when the ball didn't go out.

Lowe's football was wank and he was a terrible manager/bloke but in his defence he didn't have the likes of Dobbin, Devine, Small, Moran, Offiah, Jebbison, Gibson, Vukcevic, Iverson........... Available to him. Hecky has a far more capable set of players at his disposal and we are still horrendous..

Yet it was Lowe who wanted £m+ Okkels, who PR was too embarrassed to cancel the signing once RL resigned

You’re clutching at straws with that one.

I thought we looked just as shite in the second half.. but if some 4-5 min spell early in the second half is enough for you to think we had the better of it, then so bit it.

We still lost the game and played utterly shite, like we’ve done most weeks under the Yorkshire pudding.

Not something I saw, but why’s it not ok for the manager to berate poor performances, but it’s totally fine for our fans to boo those same young players at HT / FT?

 

[Desperate Scouse White]

That was simply awful today. His race is run. I disliked lowe by the end but statistically he was far ahead of Hecky.

Heckys win % c.26, not good enough. The rigid 532 is boring & i worry next season were done at this level. Gotta go & may as well do it soon so any new manager has some time.

I hated Ryan Lowe. Absolute knobhead.

Hecky should be doing better with a far superior set of players no?

McCall appeared to be having a right go at Thompson after West Brom's 2nd goal.

Still survived though, whilst under Lowe we would have ended the season in the bottom two IMHO. BTW, I’m only comparing PH with RL.

Not true, as I addressed here.

 

[Realistic]

People calling people out for making mistakes in the way they spell things is pathetic on here I'm not the best but get a grip stop being a dick.

There's a full stop after here.

and a comma after grip,

 

[Doc Brown]

He isn't Ryan Lowe.

Thought as much.

Bloke has been given pretty much a free pass from the start purely because he doesn’t speak with a scouse accent.

 

[NG White]

You've had a nightmare here mate.

We were fucking abysmal from start to finish.

 

[Durutti]

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

Hold on, it can be both things.

Ridsdale's management of his manager over the Lang signing was piss poor. A manager whose win ratio is shit and position was really in question making a signing not in our long term benefit. Record signing too. Poor as it comes that.

 

[Longshanks]

Preaching to the choir Doc. Said it from the off that he was more of the same with a friendlier face.

One is a professional, the other lot aren't.
