    Heckingbottom

    To all the people who were ridiculously demanding that anyone who wanted Lennon out must have a replacement in mind themselves who was within our budget - he’s the guy I want in charge of our club

    Think he’ll go on to be a cracking manager of our club.

    Why would you want a guy that’s going to be a cracking manager? This doesn’t fit the narrative at all.

    I thought anyone who was critical of Lennon was revelling in defeat and hoping we would lose so they could stick the boot into the club?

    Absolutely.

    I think he comes across very well and the stories that have come out of East Mains since he took over are all positive. Throw in a couple of good results and a few players suddenly performing a lot better than they were (Horgan, Flo, Milligan, Gray being back in the team) and I reckon things are certainly looking up.

    True. This has been a very crap couple of weeks with us finally winning games and scoring 4 on the road.

    If we lose at St Johnstone, be prepared for the first 'Heckingbottom Out' thread

    improvements are there to be seen. There will be good days and bad days, but I suspect more good than bad. Onwards and upwards

    I think Heckingbottom might just turn out to be a very good manager for us.

    Bump this thread after the next two games.

    Two more wins and he's well on his way.

    Anything less, and he'll probably get pelters.

    As said already, the jury is still out.

    Er ...he's had 2 games in charge. I'll make my mind up after a couple of transfer windows.

    Let the guy get his foot in the door first. ...

  14. #13
    Can’t really judge in the short term. Needs at least one transfer window giving a chance to shape the team.

  15. #14
    He's made a positive impact so far, players are responding. 2 up front is great

    You can laugh Jim, but that is precisely what will happen as soon as we drop a point or points.

    Wants to be here and is happier than the last guy in control of the side.

    Fresh approach.

    Players look happier.

    Happy days.

    Whatever happens the rest of this season will be more enjoyable.

    Can see a few high scoring games.

    I think Lennon is a great manager but I would never want Hibs to lose.

    I think a lot of fans need to realise that football is a game of opinions, there is no right or wrong answers when it comes to opinions. If you can’t respect somebody else’s opinion then usually it’s best to not say anything at all.

    Give it a rest. Please.

    You could have just posted about the new manager, but instead you feel a need to justify your own position and brand anyone who disagrees as ‘ridiculous’.

    I’m delighted our new manager has started well, but your posts are boring and pathetic.

    So far I feel that Mr Heckingbottom has done little wrong.

    He has come in to a squad low on confidence and a bit low on numbers. He can do nothing about the depleted squad he has to work with but he does seem to have injected a bit of confidence in the team.

    His first 2 games could only really be banana skins. Win them, as he did, and people would say "so what he should win these sort of games" but lose them and the doubters would be doing cartwheels.

    He strikes me as a very articulate and intelligent person who knows what he wants from his team. He is not a Colin Calderwood. He has much more managerial experience than CC had. Indeed more than Mowbray and Stubbs. He has served his apprenticeship.

    Obviously, this Wednesday is the first real test. Not that the 1st two weren't tests but Wednesday could define our season. A win is crucial. However if we don't win then I will not be on here calling for his head. He did not get us in this position but he might just get us out of it.

    I am very optimistic about our future with him as Head Coach. I was absolutely delighted when he was appointed. I believe we will finish in the top 6 and above Hearts 👏🏻
