Was it not that it’d have been a penalty otherwise?

Thought we played well for 70 of the 90 (or 100) minutes. While the passes from the centre backs could have been more progressive, you could see the high press working well and we had a load of dangerous possession and chances, probably 4 or 5 in the first half without having to think too hard. The head knocks (including the potential elbow) stopped all momentum and playing with 10 changed the momentum. HJK came out far better in second half and deserved their goal - but they were clinical and could have added another. Thereafter we were excellent and could and should have scored more than once. The goal was coming and while delayed we could and should have won the game 3-1. Those who don’t like Barry Robsons interviews, good lord give yourselves a shake. Might not be as polished as a McInnes, but a hell of a lot more about him (and the players buy into him) than a snake oil salesman like Goodwin.

Thought that was a made up name given we have been linked with half of the Balkans

Still too early to say, Ryan Duncan has had a heck of a lot more minutes than under Goodwin. Suspect if they are good enough they will play and we’ll see more of Bavidge next season.

Think todays match showed how much work still to be done Think we need two Centre half’s, a centre mid, a target man striker, and first choice full backs alongside a sub keeper. Perhaps also a decent utility man. Would Steven Fletcher be a ridiculous shout for a squad striker for next season?

How was POLVARA?

Is Craig Storie even playing football now?

Agreed. Hearts probably the lowest points total of 3rd in recent history. Have to say they have an excellent defence however

Not necessarily a good thing - none of our players having achieved anything like Brown may have found his standards too high/ challenging?

Goodwin an excellent appointment imo

Other than for a match don’t think we should be appointing an interim solution. Get the number 1 target now and let’s get Europe

As do I. However, the failure to sort out the defence and stop chucking goals in after 8 months is almost a sackable offence in itself, given the amount of cash spent on them wage wise. That said, the summer does offer the chance to get rid of Ojo, McGeough and maybe move on some other high earners. If they can get that right, (Besuijen looks like an excellent signing) then it could be really interesting

Id get him out now to give us at least a fighting chance for the Cup match. I’ve given him the benefit of the doubt but this is absolutely appalling. The team chucks in goals and has absolutely no cutting edge

Could be 7 considering we should have beaten Rangers too. All while Hearts have had a very tough run of fixtures. I’ve been trying to look at the bright side under Glass but the team massively underachieving, cannot keep a clean sheet and persevering with dross as part of our “attack”. On the plus side Besuijen looks a player, but we will be taking backward steps when we lose Ferguson and Ramsay in the summer For those saying Cormack hasn’t backed Glass - he has. Just unfortunate the probable guts of £10k a week sitting on the bench in Gallagher and Jet

All eyes on Besuijen. Let’s pray he hits the ground running

Did ye, aye?

Woefully underused when we had the likes of Hornby, Hendry and Kamberi offering absolutely nothing up front.

I’d take him in a heartbeat. Although perhaps try to get the option to buy locked in too.

I know he missed a sitter and it was against lower league opposition, but surely given our lack of strikers JET is being underused? Stick him right thru the middle and tell him to stay up. His link play is very good

Apparently one of our top earners. Unless he’s taking a wage cut he can go

I’d bring in Gallagher, McGeough, JET and MacKenzie but would start the likes of Brown, Ferguson, Ramirez and Hedges.

Still needs to sort us out in the final third. Ramirez is feeding off scraps, Ojo not an attacker and a lack of width/pace there too

I don’t think he’s better than Lewis who has been absolutely outstanding for us in the main

Probably would have contributed as much and saved the guts of £5k a week in comparison to Gallagher

He played well in his final season with us - he was released though wasn’t he? He made a mistake going to Northampton the first time round
