wavydavy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 8 hours ago, socrates82 said: Not sure you get the concept of a squad. I wouldn't see any of them as first choices right now apart from Isma, but Cowie, Bauben, Hughes, Randall and Callachan are more than good enough for the squad. Jury's out on Stockton for me. Not an improvement on Bjorn Johnson or even Conor Sammon so far. The idea that we would be able to afford better versions of all of them as squad players seems a bit crazy. We're not a club that can afford two good teams of 11 in the squad. I wouldn't miss any of the others though, and Cowie and Hughes are nearing the end of their careers. Martin is still the great unknown given how few games he's had. A decent squad should enable players coming off the bench to change a game we don't have that. We weaken our team most of the time when we make changes from the bench. Major surgery required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch41 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If only we could get rid of the dead wood we would be half way there. i hope Levein can shift a lot of them this january with the rest leaving in the summer. The whole way there would be Levein signing players that will lift Hearts up the league and challenging for cups & europe. We are putting our faith in Levein and his Bootroom buddies to put a team on the pitch that Hearts fans can be proud of and if it all goes pear shaped even Ann Budge won't be able to save them.

That's probably because when previously people have disagreed with you, you seem to take it so well... Of that list. Cowie i would def keep, same with Goncalves. Randall, Callachan are fine as squad members. Hughes and Smith-Brown are both (smith brown i'm working on reports here) good enough if fit, but they are rarely. If Smith-Brown isn't costing us anything in wages keep him. Hughes I agree is an expensive crock. However, maybe he is on a pay as you play deal? Nowak and Noring are a bit meh for me. Both probably relatively cheap squad fillers. You could argue the same of Stockton. For the first 2, a youth player could fill that, so if we can get rid of them do it. The others - agreed. But they won't just walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo414 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 As with everyone else, I thought tonight was a solid performance by the lad.

Mmm, I don't go overboard when we get beat and slag players off, likewise I don't think a couple of decent games make a player good. He's decent in the air, strong and can tackle. His passing, distribution and crossing are poor, he's also very one dimensional. He's been good last two games defensively, its a start. IMO Brandon has shown much more composure on the ball, However I get CL starting from the basics on being defensively sound. Nothing wrong with that.

Based on today and Saturday you can’t possibly claim his distribution is poor. I can understand based on his performances in midfield but not from right back where the game is totally different.

Couldn't give anyone more than a 7/10 yesterday, with a few more on the 6 mark so for there to be a thread singling a player out as having a great game is a bit odd. Maybe just reflective of how badly we've been recently though that a performance like that gets you a thread on here. Agreed! Suggesting he was great goes to show how crap we actually are!
