Maybe he just couldn't handle the disappointment? He's young and a tad fragile? Would've been acceptable had he come over, led the players and motioned an apology. At least fans can accept that even if they vented their anger.
Warren on BBC radio Sussex mentioned this, and seemed to suggest his leadership is lacking, just sits in the dug out.
Shocking game that was. Not as bad though as yesterday's game.
Yet he still manages to rack up an impressive number of yellow cards somehow, despite showing very little in the way of passion or aggression. It's all very strange
How was the atmosphere in the away end during the game? Was wondering whether it was one of those games where it goes full circle and is so bad that the fans start singing relentlessly in the face of adversity
Van Hecke was first over and raised his hands as if to say sorry. It was a very weird scenario as both parties were staring at each other for a long time , much longer than usual at end of game.
Yes, it was very much like that. Once it got past three nill the mood and singing changed to gallows’ humour and was probably the best bit of the whole game.
Not great after the 3rd, then gallows humour after the 5th, with sarcastic ole of our players passing the ball, some singing agreement with the Forest fans that we “should have watched on the telly”, “we had a shot…” etc etc. A quite funny “you’ve seen the Albion” towards the end.
It was a weird one.
Van Hecke was one of the first to come to us. Held his hands up in apology.
He probably didn't know what to do. Was gutted and disappointed with the performance and thinking 'Christ, this Premier league is so tough for me and I don't know what to do?'.
Yes, he was booked when Welbz got banged on the head and no penalty was given. He went ballistic at 4th official briefly and was booked.
