What is going on with Reilly? Neilson persisted with him and gave him lots of game time and he (in my opinion) did very little. Then it finally looked like he was coming on to a game and then he can't get near the team... Very odd.

 

As a side note I think that yesterday (Celtic game) would have been a great game for him to play in. He would have potentially caused Efe Ambrose to make a few mistakes.

It is odd. He start off, quite frankly, not very good. He then has a couple of vastly improved games, and indeed played quite well, then he is never seen again.

Should've been on to chase down and put pressure on Ambrose, doesn't offer much else though.

His best performances much like the rest of the team were when we had Sow.

Ever since dauda came he's been out of robbies plans hopefully now that every issue in the top 6 is done and dusted he and a few other so called fringe players get a run out

Another masterclass by Robbie,

 

Was the same with king as soon as he was coming onto a game papped to gers,

If I was Reilly I would be wanting away giving that juanma and dauda have been pretty gash for a while now,

Love his energy and commitment.

Reilly will be away at the end of the season I think. This season's James Keatings.

The laddie is entitled to be unhappy.  No coincidence that our best performances happened when he was in the team.  He was one of the few who looked up for it at Fir Park and did more in those 10 minutes than Jamie has in the last two games.

Hes absolute shite :lol:

No disagree.

 

He reminds me of Kenny Miller and needs another striker to play off him.

 

I still think he could be a v good player for us

The very thing that was missing for 60 mins yesterday. His movement in the final third might have opened things up a bit for someone like Djoum, Walker or Prince to gather and exploit the space created. As it was Celtic had all the time in the world to bring the ball out of defence with no one in behind Juanma putting any pressure on .

Correct. Pressing ambrose was the way to get something yesterday.

Spot on. 

 

We are far more effective with him on the park.

Would like a bit more from a striker than to be able to make other players make mistakes. Only ever going to be up front as a supporting role as he never takes the ball forward looking like a striker who believes he can score goals. Tends to turn back looking for support when in a good position, something that a prolific centre forward would just not do.

Correct, when Reilly was in the team we played in the manner similar to that which brought us up from the Championship, and which should have been identified as our best way of playing before game one of the season started. Why do people appear to dislike him, the only place I've ever heard anyone say he is no good is on here. The comments made, he doesn't score enough goals. Similar thoughts passed through my head when Jankuaskas and Kevin Kyle were in the side, that they weren't really big goalscorers, and in Kevin's case a number of them came from penalty kicks. However, what I was also able to see was that their very presence and impact on the team meant opportunities were being created for others to score goals and help us win games, and if we are winning I don't give a flying feck who is putting the ball in the net.

Reilly and Sow were looking like our most effective striking partnership in years then China came knocking.

 

He needs someone like Sow to play off, neither Juanma or Dauda have those qualities.

Juanma and Reilly have looked ok too, in the 6-0 game I think? Reilly did all the running that Juanma didn't fancy.

 

Anyway, that aside, it was clearly stated when Reily was signed that he was here as a development player. Meaning, he's here to develop. A few first team run-outs this season whilst we get settled back into the Prem, Robbie experiments with a few different systems, gets a handle on what he wants to do and how to do it before getting properly stuck in next season.

 

Reilly will be around next season, and I'm happy about that.

Disgracefully treated let's be honest looking after higher profile signings who are sh*t

We should be doing everything in our power to make sure he's fully committed to Hearts next season.

 

He's had good time this season to bed in and a player with that amount of commitment is what is winning Leicester the title this season.

 

Pair him with the right players and we could step up to the next level.

Good post.  I said something similar yesterday.

 

We are at our most effective when we press the opposition and don't let them settle. Reilly is the epitome of that.

Give the lad another season. But he'll need someone, anyone, beside him.

He must be pissed of watching Juanma, Dauda, Jamie and Sam the last few weeks because they don't look like scoring and he still can't get a game.

To be fair, Reilly doesn't look like scoring either, but he does have the energy to harass a defence and create chances for others. Should be in team

He was our best player at the turn of the year and in particular in a game agaist Celtic. His performance as a sub last week against Motherwell was outstanding, he put more into 15 minutes than any of the others in the previous 75.

 

I don't understand Robbie's reluctance to give him a run in the team when others have not been performing for weeks if not months.

 

I suspect though that he will start every game remaining, if he gets a couple of goals it will set him up for next season.

I find it quite bemusing really. Some of our best performances this season have been with Reilly in the team and his work-rate is superb. I hope he is still here next season but can understand if he must be very frustrated by the lack of game time.

I would expect almost all who understand football would agree with this.

He actually had a couple of vastly improved games then two or three again where he did next to nothing, then was pretty much never seen again!

If I was manager with a couple of throwaway games to go I'd definitely shuffle the pack a little just to see what we have as a squad for next season.

The jj era

Hate all the ' he needs a partner upfront' chat. It's clear that the modern game has adapted one up front, as have hearts. As the one forward its your job to make space for others, make dangerous runs and finish amongst other things. Reilly for me does the first two well, and we're lucky enough to have better finishers to carry that side of him( walker, Nicholson Djoum). When Juanma or Dauda play bad, they really seem to lack all three and just seem a waste of a jersey. I'm on Reilly's side, I think we're better with him in the team but don't get the two up front chat. If he were to add finishing to his game(which I hope he will in time) then he'll be a very very good striker. All my opinion of course.

Stated i didn't rate him when he signed, thought it was a poor signing, still don't rate him.

Agree he did well when coming on at Motherwell. I seem to remember his first contribution was taking the ball at pace and performing a pirouette all in one movement to get away from his man.

 

Or maybe I just dreamt that given the football we were playing was sending me to sleep.

I don't particularly rate him other than his work rate; don't think he can finish. As an aside to the OP, I think Efe Ambrose is one of the most underrated footballers in the SPFL Premier. Other than the odd shocker he seems to mop everything up.

Our best centre forward. Once we get a signing or two to play next to him, the goals will come.

I rate Reilly, by would he have scored Daudas effort?

 

 

Probably not

He was brought in a development player , he would have knew he was not  first choice. If he is not happy with the set, he is entitled to look else where , which would back with a mid place championship team. Robbie stated this when we signed him

I think he's got potential. I love his energy. He started in my two favourite performances of the season (6-0 and Aberdeen in the cup). I don't think the coaching staff think he's disciplined enough in following their instructions.

It really happened, mate! Says a lot about our performance that it was the highlight of the game for us.

 

I like Reilly and hope things work out for him at Hearts. Hopefully he gets some game time in the remaining fixtures. He's a decent YOUNG player and was bought, as others have said, to develop.

Feel sorry for him.

 

When given a run he was great. Felt he worked well with Sow.

 

Can't expect much of an impact from him when it's 10 minute cameos off the bench.

Robbie done the same with Juanma at the start of the season, Juanma was scoring goals and playing well, he got dropped for Reilly when Gavin wasn't on form. once Gavin started looking good Juanma got back in and he wasn't playing well. very strange way to manage, if your players on form, why stop playing him??

I'd be giving the lad a chance again. He gets us 10 yards up the park as a starting point.

 

There's limitations in his game clearly. I'd have thought he was signed to improve on areas of weakness and utilise the key attributes that made us sign him?

 

His current position makes you wonder whether he's able to improve to the level required or whether he's been let down by the management team who were there to improve his development.

 

Wouldn't be an enormous surprise if he moved on this summer at his instigation. I'd be seriously considering my options if I were him
