Roy Barry Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Really poor performance. Those players in a 4-4-2 just don't work. No attacking midfielder and very little offered from wide. Our forwards are poor but the service they got today was shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm off to kick the wife and shag the dog Im off to kill the wife, and kill the dog. Bit of perspective here. Why did we think we'd win? We have an amatuer running the team, with no experience, we have a team lacking in coaching (that is the most obvious point for me). Why are we surprised we lost here. Falkirk outplayed us, outsmarted us, and in the end, beat us. You can have Real Madrid players playing tonight, if they'd been subjected to our coaching for the last 3 years, even RAUL would've struggled in that team.

He was but the shape needed changing sooner - once he did make the change to 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 or whatever it was we started having more of the game & more threat / chances - credit to Frail for changing the tactics but it was too little too late & Kingston's poor quality free kicks in decent areas didn't help our cause.

JamboAl Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I try to resist criticising young players but Clum does test the patience. He lacks the power and height to be a bulldozing forward, has no skill or pace to be a nippy one, lacks intelligence and basically to be a striker you need to score goals - he doesn't. If Frail wants the job he'll need to get the blinkers off. We shouldn't however just blame Clum. Kingston was lazy, careless and didn't look all that interested, Thomson is not ready, Palazuelos and Jonsson are not a dream combination and basically the overall performance was flat. As I've said on several occasions a mass clear-out is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr Venkman Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 End of season fayre. The players looked like they couldn't be arsed and frankly neither could i. Roll on the end of the season. Major changes in the summer please, starting with the manager. Empty out the highly paid under achievers and if the moneys not there anymore let's go back to basics and play some of the young lads and maybe a few Scottish players and a couple of experienced pro's. Kingston, Ruben, Jose, Miko, Pinilla and co....see ya. It was that bad i turned over and watched the end of the snooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts_crazy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 When he got subbed I just said keep fecking walking Calum, and don't stop when you reach the sea, just feck off and never pull on a Hearts top again. Utterly, utterly useless heap of shet. On a night when several players showed all the skill, effort and guille of a drunken elephant with chronic asthma Calum Elliot still managed to shine like a beacon of utter hopelessness. Please someone tell me how Shaggy can't see how completely hopeless he is. He is nowhere near SPL standard, he would struggle to get a start for a pub team, REALLY!!!! FFS please let it be that Vlad is playing him to sell him in the Summer and that a club is blind enough to take him on, I don't think I can take seeing him running about the pitch like a fecking space cadet for another game let alone another season.

Stevie Frail should have pulled on a jersey and begged Gary Mackay to do the same. I was glad to see a couple of elbows land on that fecker at the back, someone should have sorted him out before half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(playing devils advocat here, not trying to win Frail the Gig.)? A real manager, with real authority would make a significant difference, although it's obviously, totally hypothetical. Even then, it would take time, as the current farce has been going on so long now, it's become almost the norm for most of them. But in answer, despite how truly **** we appear, I believe we are potentially, much better. Sadly, I'll probably never get the chance to prove the theory.

Martin Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just back from the game. I keep thinking he cannot get any worse but he does, the guy is a total joke. There are players in the second and third division that could do a better job than him. If I was doing interviews for the job, I think I'd ask just one question, would you play Elliot or boot him out. Even Frail must now realise how bad his golden boy is, considering in the last two games he's subbed him for a centre half and a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmfc_steve Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Clum is quite simply the worst player I have ever witnessed wearing a maroon jersey ... and I've seen quite a few bad ones like Ernie Winchester etc. There are others in this team that are.... well, to put it kindly not up to scratch, but he is the worst by a country mile..... he's not a footballer, so why he gets played week in week out I can't fathom.

Nelly Terraces Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ellioot is just one of the worst out of a very poor set of players we have at our club. I saw that team tonight and thought, 'they are just total pesh'. Can I just say at this point, an example of this is that lad Jonsson, creamed over on here yet totally ineffectual and I've seen him do nothing in a Hearts shirt. If him and Pala can't run the show in mid against bloody Failkeek then really, you have to admit - he's just not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
