JyTees Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 That's the big thing to remember because it's the only place you'll find the type of people who don't want Cathro sacked. Not in my experience. The real world would still like this to succeed and are prepared to sit it out. Not for that much longer granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobar PHM Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I agree but don't forget that JKB and its posters make up a tiny percentage of the Hearts support. Whats the rough figures on that ? i.e how many members and regular contributors are there here. Whats the size of the 'Hearts support' I think most regular contributors on here go to Hearts matches pretty regularly If that's not the case then who are these people ? Is there any evidence that the 'Hearts support' who attend matches think differently to what the JKB poll suggests. Most of the guys I go with or sit near want him out and have felt that way since the Hibs games last season and have seen nothing to change that view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51john51 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Tbh I actually think Martin had a role to play and I'd be starting him on Saturday, but if he's going to remain second choice behind Cowie/change then we definitely need a creative midfielder. I also thought there was a player waiting to shine in Martin, however I was up in Peterhead in midweek and he bottled out of a 50:50. I'm sorry, but that was enough for me.

Mac80 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 While not wishing to get into a debate/argument/jkb standard chat about it. I'd imagine Berra & Lafferty were in full control of their faculties when they signed? Assuming Cathro was in charge on those days. Can't see players turning us down on the back of a defeat to Peterhead really. But anyway, see what happens I guess. correct barack, Berra and Laff knew full well who they would be playing under and where still happy to sign. Both even having good words to say about him in the process. The peterhead lose has flicked a switch in everyones head (including some usually level headed posters) and they have turned in to utter slavering arseholes, making things up about the management and team. Before the Peterhead Lose the forum was in harmony at the fact we have had a decent preseason and played some decent football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandably people lost there shit about losing to a league two team, and now most on the forum reckon we will be relegated or there about.

fraz the postie Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I personally would rather we took our time in the transfer market,rather than sign players who don't fit the bill. I would like us to win the league cup prior to robots ruling the world and Armageddon but the league and Scottish cup are bigger fish, We have bought well (hopefully) so far ,let's be patient and not sign huddies.

Hagar the Horrible Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm hoping this is why the goalie/midfielder issue is unresolved. We do go about our business slowly and clandestinely? BUT a keeper being a priority evident in every 2 cell + organism I would suggest we are sticking with Jackshit? A midfielder we could be looking at anybody from anywhere, but if we wanted a keeper, a few would have been targeted and one would be here by now, would you not agree?

How do you know they haven't been targeted? There are many good keepers out there but are they what we want? Some may not be suitable because of the transfer fee, some because their terms are too excessive, some because of geography or family circumstances and some who may not have the right personal attributes etc etc. I would have liked to have someone here by now and hope they are not putting all their eggs in one basket (McGregor) but maybe in the end the wait will be worthwhile.

Mr Sifter Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's pretty simple really - the club willl stop getting pelters on the football front when we start winning or drawing the majority of our games, as should be expected for the third biggest club in the country.

Jammy T Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If January proved anything it is that we should take time to make the correct signings and not rush to make knee jerk signings. It's frustrating but we know the club are working on deals for the type of players we all agree are needed. I am hopeful that the time being taken is because we are looking at players of a high quality but it takes time and effort to make such players join us - because quality players will have a number of options It's easy to sign a player nobody else wants...

If January proved anything it was that we still didn't have decent midfielder despite all of the signings, I'd have assumed that we'd have made that a priority for the last 6 months .......If we have our eye on someone about to become free, then we could have nailed them on a pre-contract. You say it takes time - 6 months so far - how much more time do you think we need to identify/sign a decent midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Not signing a keeper yet is a big disappointment. Ideally our first choice defence would have started most pre season games and a keeper is perhaps the central component.

One week until we face Celtic and we have no time to get a GK in the door and settled with the defence. Nor have we addressed the fairly major issues with our midfield.
