Footballfirst Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hearts U19s won 2-0 this morning with two second half goals from Jordan McGhee and Billy King. The first half performance was pretty woeful and Hearts were lucky to be on level terms after two great saves from Jack Hamilton and St Mirren also hit the post just before the break. Darren Murray changed personnel and positions in the second half and the side played much more fluently and could have scored two or three more as St Mirren tired quite badly. Hearts line-up Hamilton Stewart (Mullen) McKay Kane McHattie Paterson (McGhee) Walker Smith Holt King Carrick (Nicholson) The final formation was: Hamilton Mullen McKay McGhee McHattie King Walker Kane Holt Nicholson Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadows Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good to see Rudi,Driver,Kello,Locke and others watching.I thought Holt & Walker had good games and of course Hamilton in goal.Was surprised that Mr consitency Fraser Mullen was on the bench? All in all,a great 3 points whilst not a great performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Both Sam Nicholson and Jordan McGhee are with the U17s. Sam has been training pretty well full time with the U19s since leaving school, although I don't believe he has a full time contract (as yet). Jordan is only 15 (won't be 16 until next July) and is part of Scotland's U16 Victory Shield side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the geezer Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Decent 2nd half IMO with a couple of decent finishes.In all honestly should have scored more in 2nd half after a stale 1st half.Once again impressed with younger lads but Holt/Walker led the charge after a change in shape.

bighusref Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Today I saw this team for the first time, so, please be aware that any comments are based on one ninety minute game of football. Firstly, I slightly disagree with FF re the first half. I thought we played some decent stuff and largely dominated but just didn't threaten the 'keeper. St Mirren did have a few chances but that was down to our defence. I also think it was bold of FF to do a formation for the second half, to me, we didn't really play with a striker and Smith and Walker simply took turns breaking through the centre. Levein would have been proud. On the team, I thought that players like Smith, Carrick & King were promising & the lad Nicholson played well when he came on. Holt and Walker were head and shoulders above everybody on the park, bossing the game and IMO we would not be anywhere near as impressive without them. The disappointments (remember the first line in my post, kids) were the goalkeeper, the defenders and the right midfielder. For me, the defenders were really quite poor, terrible distribution and woefully caught out of position regularly. I really do hope that Grainger doesn't get an injury/suspension prior to 1st January. The lad Patterson had a 'mare, so much so the right back was backing him up every time, not to overlap but to challenge for the ball when Patterson lost it! Some may say I am being unfair on the 'keeper as he saved well a few times, but his handling from high balls and skills when he had the ball at feet didn't convince me. All in all, really enjoyed it. I really hope that Walker (definitely in his central role as opposed to out wide) and Holt get their chance in our first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 BH - I assure you that the U19s can play much much better than they did today. I can also understand your comparison with Levein. I recall speaking to Darren Murray before a recent game and he talked about a formation with four at the back, two wide men and four in a diamond in the middle. That sounds like 4-6-0 to me. TBF it was deninitely 4-5-1 in the first half, but much inproved in the 2nd half with Holt, Walker and Dave Smith all being encouraged to get forward while Chris Kane sat in front of the back 4. They are definitely missing Callum Tapping and Chris Tobin as holding players and decent footballers to boot. I was told that Tapping will be out for another couple of weeks, but I don't know about Tobin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that Tapping will be out for another couple of weeks, but I don't know about Tobin. Formation wise, it is almost academic as it worked. It put Walker in a stronger position to hurt the opposition. Few things I missed earlier, one you have reminded me of, is that Kane was much improved in the second half (particularly the first ten to fifteen mins whilst we took control of the game) and I thought he did okay in that holding role. On St Mirren, their number eight and the very wee dude were quite decent but none were close to Walker and Holt in terms of ability. The ref was one of those dudes that wasn't built for sport and was probably last pick every time at PE. Also the far side lineslady needs to realise that the "women not understanding the offside rule" is not really true and is a stereotype. She needs to recognise that. Also, I stood beside two guys that didn't like Holt, a parent of a team mate I'd say. "....as much as I like Jason, he always <insert negative comment>" It was quite amusing!

jamboinglasgow Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Is Jordan Morton still with the u19s? I remember hearing that he had a lot of talent. he is too old for the under 19s and is currently on loan at Colin Cameron's Cowdenbeath. He has scored 4 goals in 11 games for them (though I think 2 are penalties.) For me he had the ability to be a cracking talent, quite a tricky winger who can really ping in a shot, but to me it has always been a question of whether his head is right on the pitch.
