Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think we were all hoping we could take our form of last year into the SPL 5 games in with 15 points it looked like we were going to. 13 games later and we have only picked up another 16 and some of the performances have been really poor. I can get the 'reality check' view of some posters but what annoys me is the loss of the feel good factor. You can't buy that and I feel through indiscipline, Neilsons tactics, Collum and injuries we have handed this away far too easily. I hear you but we lost 3 bad ones and got lucky at Kilmarnock. We could easily have less points. The team just isn't as good as we all hoped it was but it will get better. If anything now is the time they need us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo83 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think anyone moaning about sitting 3rd, or even if we were 4th in the league in our first season back would be an absolute fool. Overall, the club has done tremendously well to get where we find ourselves. I think given how we started the season though, and then add recent performances, some of us can't help but be a bit disappointed. Playing players out of position and missing out the midfield with long balls are going to annoy most fans. It would just be refreshing to see us have a go with a 4-4-2, or whatever formation you want, but have an attacking style of play with guys in their preferred roles. I'm sure we'd all agree that we have at least the 3rd best squad / starting XI in the league, so why play the part of the underdog by going in negative and continue to churn out draws.

Generic Username Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 You aren't allowed to mention us being third in the league in our first season after being promoted or that we were days away from oblivion two years ago because looking at things objectively and being reasoned and sensible in your views isn't the done thing. You need to be in a state of near hysteria every time the topic of Hearts is mentioned and completely lose your mind when we don't win to the point you can barely bring yourself to leave the house otherwise, you're a fantasist/apologist.

TurboT Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's an interesting thread this one. I think everyone agrees that our style of play at the moment isn't the greatest and can be pretty brutal to watch at times. Personally after last season, I think Robbie deserves the time to try and improve the team with another couple of transfer window's. The turnover of players at Hearts in the last two seasons is huge and trying to make so many changes is never going to be easy so to be in third place in the league isn't that bad in my opinion.

Simmo Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone else becoming concerned over the standard our play has dropped to as we get further and further into the season? We started back in the summer with all guns blazing and with our dodgy defence we had to our score other teams to get the victories. If nothing else it was exciting, and you always felt we were likely to score. We got a bit of luck with Ozturk?s injury which allowed Augustyn and Rossi to play together and our defence stiffened up substantially and is still really good. Unfortunately the manager seems to have gone to town on this defensive stuff and we have now become one of the most boring, dull and physical teams in the league. Where are the goals coming from? What?s with all this hoofball sh~t every week! Walker has been a big miss but I also suspect the goals and especially the assists from Billy King are overlooked as well. Why does he not get a start or on earlier now as a sub. Djoum is a good, strong and physical player but he doesn?t exactly set the heather on fire. Pallardo, although still a quality player, is frequently caught out for pace in this league and is now looking distinctly ordinary. Quite frankly it is not good enough, no matter what our league position says. Neilson is following our Director of football?s style when he was here and it is dull. Jaunma seems to be losing interest and Sow may not be here for long. Even worse, if we don?t substantially pick up against Celtic and especially Aberdeen in the cup, everything important this season will be gone and it won?t be long before we stop seeing the ?sold out? signs up every week. Get a grip Neilson. Stop working the players to death, stop the hoofball and start embracing attacking football again. Funnily enough our DoF's style of football led to quite a lot of great European mights such as Braga and Bordeaux !!!!!!! and, of course, quite a few third place finishes in a League with both of the Weegie 'giants' present. A wee bit of patience required I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_A wehatethehibs Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 The league table is a fair reflection of the quality of our team. We are the third best team in the country. Playing Barcelona style football requires great intensity, and some of our players clearly can't maintain that so we've had to adapt and dig out some draws recently. Not ideal but at least we are tough to beat and making sure no opponent looks forward to playing us, as they will have have a hard time nicking 3 points off us. Celtic will not get an easy game at tynecastle. A long way to go till we get closer to Aberdeen and Celtic who both have considerably better players than us, especially in the attacking areas, but we will get there because in Robbie we trust. Rome wasn't built in a day. At the weekend, we kept a clean sheet at the 4th place team to consolidate our position in 3rd. There will be good and bad days before the end of the season, but I think the main thing which is becoming clear is that guys like gomis and pallardo are decent but not quite good enough to get us up close to the top 2. Conclusion from the first half of season 2015/16, this Hearts team is still well and truly a work in progress, with decent stregnth in depth and a blend of youth and experience. What a massive improvement over our last 2 premier league seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It's not beyond Hearts to recapture form if the manager actually learns from mistakes and we see a visual difference. The only thing about managers is when they are criticised they can dig their heels in and be stubborn. I'd rather listen to people, take heed and make the relevant changes. You might become a hero and in 20 years time no one will remember it being because the supporters called for change. It's your name as manager that goes in the history books.

Dia Liom Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Given that we are 3rd, and have beaten most teams, there seems to be some really strange opinions on here. Is there a completely different history of HMFC that I have forgotten? I don't remember us having a season where we haven;t had dips in form. 3rd was always the, admittedly shite, target when we had an established team and expereinced manager! It's worth commenting that currently the team doesn't look high on confidence, For example the goal Hibs scored at the weekend, I don't think we would have scored from that situation if it had happened v st j. Teams and players go through good and bad form, 90% to do with confidence. Despite the worth of that comment, it is essential to the debate to keep in mind that we are below only Abdn and Celtic, in the circumstances a great achievement.

Rudy T Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Imo all is not well with our squad at the moment. It doesn't feel like the same cohesive unit we had last year. I got the sense last year ozturk, gomis, Prince and probably Wilson were the main men and the youngsters enthusiasm was driven by them. Perhaps the new guys have unsettled the cohesion a bit. Gomis in and out of the team, ozturk sidelined and a few of the characters like Keatings,Eckersley mchattie etc out the club. Things just seem a little fractured and the same will to win and fight for each other just appears to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego10 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 We've had a lot of injuries, too many suspensions and we're not playing particularly fluently atm. We've also lost once in ten games, to a good Aberdeen team, thanks to a ridiculous penalty we gave away. We've got the majority of our remaining games at home and 3 of the bottom 4 to play before the half way point of the season. I think the balance is off with the midfield and strikers, and we don't have all the options we'd like available to change that. Come the end of the season I'd expect us to be more coherent and in the top 4. If we aren't then I'd ask questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out to be a poor run of another 6,7 matches then rightfully there should be major concern but we are only a couple of wins from making it look like a decent run of results over quite a lot of games...we are capable and of course every team dips. It is very important though that we see a good reaction soon to spark another spell of decent results to push on. No it doesn't. Most supporters can see these things are far more important than a bad run. If you look at the things I listed it's good overall form, building the infrastructure, securing the long term future and improving our club. Anyone who puts a short run of results before all that is seriously in need of around the clock care. It is important that we see a reaction to our mediocre recent form soon, but the way the season has gone it would be weird to assume it won't happen.
