Clerry Jambo Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 By: Hearts Media on 18 Dec, 2014 11:32 Robbie Neilson has revealed that he sets neither the team nor himself any targets, other than to win the match ahead. Much has been made of the Jambos? unbeaten start to the Championship season, though the head coach always maintains he prepares the team for one match at a time. Following owner Ann Budge?s comments at yesterday?s club AGM that Robbie?s destined for the top, the three-time Manager of the Month award winner insists that his ambitions don?t differ from the targets he sets his players. Speaking at this morning?s pre-match press conference, Robbie said: ?I set the target of winning the next game, that?s it. We, as a coaching staff, look further forward than the players do. ?We look towards the Hibs game and Rangers game coming up and we start to do out homework on it. Player-wise, we just speak to them about the following week, and that?s the game this weekend against Alloa. ?My ambition is to win on Saturday, that?s it. Then hopefully win on Tuesday, then win the next Saturday. What will be will be in football but at the end of the day you can?t look too far ahead. You?re two or three games away from a crisis and you?re two or three games away from a fantastic winning steak. ?I?m not going to sit here and say ?I want to do this and I want to do that?; I want the boys to win on Saturday and I want them to have a good training session today, pick up all the things we want them to do then we?ll look at the next day.? Petrofac Training Cup finalists Alloa Athletic visit Tynecastle on Saturday, and the head coach hopes to have the services of a few long-term absentees at his disposal. ?Sam Nicholson?s been training and Dale Carrick has been training,? he said. ?The two of them will be, hopefully, okay for the weekend. ?Osman Sow is getting there. Hopefully he?ll be back the start of January. It?s dependent on how he recovers. He?s ahead of schedule, which is great but it?s one of them where he could come in today and it could add a bit more to it or it could take a but more off. We?ll just wait until the time is right for him.? Robbie?s press conference is available to watch in full on HeartsTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see common sense prevail ! Neilson is a pantwetter then? It would be harder to lose it than win it. I am not one for bold predictions, a true fence sitter if truth be told, I can not see any way we could chuck this away. We have had injury and suspension problems all season long and are still 9 points clear having played 1 less, the best probably still to come with worse for our closest rivals.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 This Sow stuff on here is just utterly bizarre, imo. It just seems to have grown arms and legs all over the place, based on absolutely nothing that I can remember reading or hearing to suggest it's anything other than just a niggle and difficult to fix thigh injury.

I am ever hopeful that we will get over the line and in truth very confident but the bottom line is that bigger leads than ours have been blown before so I like Robbie's chat about only talking to the players about this weeks game only. That is how I look at it , every game we put away is one game nearer and actually that gives me maximum enjoyment as the season unfolds building up hopefully to the day we are actually crowned champs ... if that makes me a pantwetter in your eyes then fine , I'm in pretty good company !

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Sows season by season record, it isn't even a dispute, he records low percentages. I don't think that is conspiracist but simply examining facts. Looking for a striker.

Some stats may lie that one doesn't.Suggests he has an unresolved injury problem which is causing him to miss matches. Neilson has already stated that they are struggling to figure out the exact nature of his injury and the best way to treat it, but at his age, and with the advances in sports science, I see no reason to believe it won't be cured and that he will go on to thrive. People are suggesting that there is something other than a niggling injury involved, and I see nothing to back up this theory. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a big help to Keatings I bet too - with Carrick doing the work out wide which will allow Keatings to do a bit more poaching. This many times over. Dales beefing up like Stallone on steroids. I think he will be the muscle man that works best with Keatings. Not writing big Sow off, just think he's not our only option. For the record, I think all the scare mongering is bolloxs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
