I'm pretty sure we were unbeaten in Butcher's first 8 games too

There is a world of difference between the two of them though. I was gutted to see Lenny go, but I couldn't have been more impressed with Hecky so far. Seems to get all of his ideas drummed into the players on the training ground as they all look as though they are confident in what their role is without him barking at them.

I wish you hadn't reminded me of this. Yep, Butcher won 4 & drew 3 of his 1st 8 games in charge. Unfortunately he then only won 1 of his next 17 games, losing 12! In fact, a 2-1 win over Ross C was the only game he won after the new year game versus them until the 1st play off game. An astonishingly bad record. The only thing which consoles me about TB is that his record was so sh*t he had to be sacked, which ultimately lead to the greatest football day of our lives.

The loss to Raith in the cup was the start of a downward spiral

100% what i have always thought too I remember being baffled at the team selection that day and thinking after the game we could be in trouble

you are correct. we lost 1-0 at Celtic in the first 8. However the point I was making that although Butcher also made a pretty decent start in his first 8 league games, I believe that there is a lot more substance to what Hecky is doing. Butcher got a new manager bounce and changed our style to be more direct which probably foxed opposition for a few games.

Sorry was just me being a tad pedantic!

I think the Dundee Utd game was the turning point. We were 2-0 up and lost 2 in the last few mins. Seemingly TB then did his bit for employee relations in the dressing room, told individuals they were finished at Hibs and the rest is history.

I remember that game. Ben Williams was lucky not to see red for hauling GMS down but GMS had been marginally offside. Soon as we conceded the first we looked terrified. We’d been fantastic up to that point.

Correct in all respects, we need to enjoy him while we have him.

He's only been in the door 2 months.

I thought it was the St Mirren game that did that? Half time 0-3, finished 2-3, Butcher want mental and told everyone they were **** both publically and privately and that was that.

The United game was a couple weeks before. Went 2-0 up via a Liam Craig double the week after winning the derby and looked extremely impressive. If we'd held on to that lead I'm convinced we wouldn't have been relegated.

I think we will see a few gems from down south. Like Lennon took any player told to. Probably why Flo’ was forced on trial before on loan to prove himself.

I think this is what excites me most. He has seen regularly guys who would be able to sign and wouldn't need a breakdown on them. I expect two or three signings from lower championship sides. He is obviously a different manager from Lennon and looks to be tacticallly astute as well as a good man manager. What he has done so far is exceptional and wherever we finish he has turned our season around way better than we could have hoped for. So calm and measured in interviews. A breath of fresh air to the Scottish game.

Was speaking with someone yesterday who knows someone who knows a wife of a current player. Heckingbottom and his approach are well liked in the squad.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Very level headed guy and when he says it’s all about the players it actually seems that way.

Takes the emotion right out of it, could not be more of a totally different contrasting character to previous managers if he tried.

Still taking me time to warm to him if I’m totally honest, not quite sure why. Cracking start hope it continues for us all

[Peevemor]

He appears to be becoming a bit more relaxed in his interviews with the local media which is good, there's a bit of dry humour creeping into some of his answers which I like.

What comes across most is how important it is for him that the players understand at all times what they're meant to be doing. He's been praising them in most interviews about how well they take in information. If the players don't know what to do, Hecky will see that as a failure on his part.

Tell me? How good does it feel? Fricking great after a few beers GGTTH!
