I'd be very keen to see Pollock and Smith - and one or two others - feature pretty extensively this season. Hearts' ongoing issues with ever trusting kids means we don't bring (m)any through, and I think they're both more than ready. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Stewart is garbage but I don't actually think it was a penaltyStone Waller for me, why has he come out leading with his feet anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Listening to the interview with Joe Savage he sounds like a good guy but with a name and a face like that I’d always imagined him sounding like Bob Hoskins turns out he’s from Lanarkshire 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Is the BBC team sheet right? Is Boyce playing in midfield? Need to put an end to that shite pronto if so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to put an end to that shite pronto if so. An interesting approach for a side that needed to win by two. Rewarded with a trip to Celtic. It's going to be a good season. I can just tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Boyce has always tended to drop deep with us - his link-up play is excellent, but he's not a midfielder. If we're going to play with one striker, it should be Boyce rather than big Nando. I quite like a back shree, but this 3-4-3 thing could be a disaster. On a different point, I had been pissed aff that we didn't try to sign Shay Logan, but I see that he's now been done for drink-driving/speeding on the back of his money-laundering charge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I don't understand it. It's like this 3-4-3 hasn't been thought through. If we want to get Gnando and Boyce playing then drop one of our wingers and have them play behind them both. It's not like we don't have width from our wing backs. We can say Ridgers had a good game all you like, our confidence in front of goal isn't exactly a secret and we really should been better with a couple of the opportunities we missed. I can see us having quite a few 0-0s this season and at least one game where we will inexplicably scud a team whilst being outplayed and wildly take every chance we make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Dropping our main goalscoring threat back into midfield to replace Naismith as our chief sideways passer is absolutely peak Neilson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I thought you were quite poor yesterday against a depleted Championship side who couldn't finish any higher or lower than 3rd. Ridgers had some good saves but some of your play was bizarre to say the least, and fuck knows what that formation and personnel was about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played what felt like half a season in midfield for us when McIntyre was having a year long brain fart, and was still comfortably our biggest goal threat. I miss him terribly. Can we have him back please? He's easily capable of playing in a front one, two or three. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, I'd like to keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing Haring and Walker on instantly improved us as well. First half was woeful. I don't understand why we are playing wing backs and wingers, they just get in each others way. He is trying to get players to be able to interchange positions, but ended up being a rabble. At one point Ginnelly was dropping to collect it off the back 4 in the middle of the park, no way should that be him. On the plus side Souttar will be back in on Saturday, and we won't play a midfield two of Boyce and Pollock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seems to drag you over the line when you’re struggling. Or maybe that’s just when you play The Caley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des dad Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Walker is a bit of a puzzle. Hard to say what stops him from becoming a regular in the team. Is it his Fitness? is it his attitude? He's certainly not the worst player in the squad but probably needs game time to get him up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie has been saying that Walker has to work on his fitness. I also reckon he's never quite nailed a niche position - for me, he's a forward rather than a midfield player. Maybe best coming on as an impact sub? The fact that RN has talked about his fitness made me wonder if that could be the beginning of the end for him at Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
