Footballfirst Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It was a funny sort of game in that neither side deserved to win or lose. Some good chances were missed but the game seemed to go through phases of nothing much happening. United probably edged the first half on chances, although Ally Roy came closest to scoring when he hit the bar after a great run down the left. In the second half, it was the reverse with Hearts having the edge but United came closest when Murrell hit the bar after 50 minutes. Soon after John Daly brought on Harry Paton for Russell McLean and changed to 4-5-1 The United goal came a bit against the run of play after 73 minutes when substitute McMeekin got in behind Baur and hit an angled shot from 14 yards into the far corner of the net. The goal prompted Hearts to switch to three at the back which allowed Hearts a bit more flexibility in the middle of the park and push Ally Roy up beside Rory Currie. Callumn Morrison began to have more impact on the game with his direct running, although his crosses were generally over-hit. However Hearts eventually got the equaliser that their second half performance deserved after 85 minutes. Daniel Baur intercepted the ball near the halfway line and drove forward towards the box before playing a square pass to Andy Irving who played a nicely weighted pass to Callumn Morrison coming into the box at pace from the right and he drilled a powerful shot across the keeper and into the far corner of the net. I said it was an odd sort of game. Hearts looked to have great options out wide with the pace of Morrison and Roy out wide but the final ball was poor or there weren't enough Hearts players getting up in support of the front men until the last 15 minutes. Hearts first half midfield pair both lacked the pace or the willingness to get close to the strikers. That dynamic changed when Paton came on as it allowed Irving to play in the attacking midfield role where he is more comfortable without the defensive duties he had earlier in the game. The "nothing" phases were probably down to Hearts reverting to keeping the ball at the back. The most common sequences of passing were Mason to Jones to Mason to Nowak, or alternatively Mason to Nowak to Mason to Jones. I don't know what it achieves short of giving players a rest as there is no threat until you start to pass the ball forward. It is difficult to pick a top man as there were several decent performances from Brandon, Jones, Roy (first half), Paton & Irving (second half) but I'll give it to Callumn Morrison for his goal and general attacking threat with his pace.

Footballfirst Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Will let you let me know how Louis appere plays FF? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Playing wide right. Fairly quiet barring one run where he cut inside and shot which brought a decent block from Mason. Appere again didn't have much impact in the second half. He took a knock after a fairly innocuous challenge from Paton around the hour mark but was subbed just a couple of minutes later. (on second thoughts maybe he did have an impact as it was the sub who scored United's goal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing cf? I quite like him there. Sometimes feel we've decided to move young cfs wide too early instead of giving them a chance to develop as a striker. Sometimes wonder if Walker should have been developed more in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Paille Man Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've not really been keeping up with the U20s performances as much as I would have liked recently. For those who see them regularly, which players at the moment are showing the kind of potential to suggest they'll be genuine prospects for us in the next few years? I saw Robbie mentioned Aaron Reid at left back and Danny Baur in a recent EEN interview. Are these two our next graduates or do we have others who look promising?

Something like Baur and Reid are great prospects but not ready to be next in line so we need more players at present type thing. Then we got Rherras and Nowak in.

Beith is back training so shouldn't be too far away. Buchanan hasn't featured at all in the last couple of weeks. I assumed that he may have been released or gone on loan but that doesn't appear to be the case, so the last possibility is that he is injured.

If Prince had gone, Beith would've been up the pecking order. I guess we'll know soon where he is in that order when he's back. Will je be on the bench? Doubtful when everyone fit. May take an injury or suspension or two for his chance to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
