Solid Snake Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Discuss. There is only one correct answer and that is Maybury. He was a far superior full back than Neilson could ever dream of. Sure Neilson won more but that doesn't make him a better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I agree. It was Maybury that kept Neilson out the team. Maybury was better going forward but also solid defensively. Neilson improved as time went on but i was never his biggest fan when he was a player. Like others, he had a terrific season in 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Maybury was defo the better player. Funnily enough we have had a lot of great LBs since I have been following the JTs but never an outstanding RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep ruined him so much that we finished 3rd again and he got a move to Leicester with Levein. Yes ruined in his later games at Hearts - from a dynamic Right Back marauding down the flanks, to being completely ineffectual stuck out on the left - and all to accommodate a far more limited footballer.

Bozi Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Always thought that Robbie would have been a good centre back if he was a bit taller and lot quicker. That said he was a good performer, solid but unspectacular, good defensively but terrible going forward. Maybury was good going forward but was not as good defensively. Maybury played for the Hibs though.... Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Robbie, 10 years at the club, SC winner, championship winning manager v maybury who player a few years with hibs. Deary me.

I thought this thread was about who was the better footballer - as such your comment that he was at the Club longer than Maybury, and he was a Championship winning Manager is a bit irrelevant in that context. As for your other suggested comparisons I will obviously go for Stewart and Keatings..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
