Are you seriously suggesting we just give up the ghost? We had a shot of doing well but we are just a 'decent' team without them. To lose 1 key player is tough to work around. We have lost Lafferty, Uche, Berra and Souttar from the start of season. I am really ****ed off. Why are we so unlucky. It has been like this for years. Take Hibs for example, they barely lose a key palyer for a week or two, we lose several for seasons at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes can slot in at CB with Dikamona moving wide, or Bozanic comes in with Haring moving back. Plenty options. Long term not too bad I suppose, just a bit of a blow for Saturday although what you've posted above looks reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkabalaJam Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Lot of players not getting regular game time just now. They've not come here to warm the bench. They know over the course of a season they're will be injuries and suspensions and there will be opportunities, they're time to shine. Same problems last season, but the difference is CL made sure he had a strong squad to deal with these situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes also if he’s fit. Up front is where we may toil. Sean Clare in to allow Naismith to play further forward and a combination of Maclean/wighton/Keena?? to play alongside. Need to limp along until Vanecek arrives in January. Hopefully the Haring chat is wide of the mark. I see no reason to delay announcing that if true, tbh. What I was told is he needs Hernia op but hoping he will carry on playing until winter break Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 1 minute ago, Mikey1874 said: Defeatist mentality. Quite surprised at people. Season has just started and of course these are blows We played well enough without Uche recently and Dikamona could be the real deal. Lets see. Its just the truth. No spin required Mikey my friend, we’re significantly weaker without Uche. We never replaced Lafferty and this was always a the risk. I still think we’ll finish top 4 but we’ll drop too many points now because we’ve lost the main point to our attack. MacLean is a good stand in but he can’t dominated two centerhalfs like the Big man. We’ have to change our style a wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_razors_edge Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Great opportunity for other players to step up.

Renoir Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 No doubt we need another striker in short term as without Uche we lack the ability to go direct.

Jodami Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Incredibly bad luck, we seem to be jinxed as it always happens to our most important players. Couple of points though. If we had signed another striker then we probably couldn't have afforded Clare (Sow would have been injured most of the time anyway). The other point is this is the time to step in and offer Souttar a new contract. Statement of faith when he's injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden Demolition Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I find it strange that Uche has been active on Instagram stating that he has had no days off and that he was looking forward to a positive week and then we get this bombshell. I’m holding out hope that Craig is on the windup and that both will be available on Saturday. Wouldn’t be the first time that a club has done it.

DG_HMFC Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Definitely a blow, but Dikamona will do well at the back, and we've still been pretty effective without Uche up top before our trip to Ibrox. We have Steven Naismith and Steven MacLean as our strikers, we still have good quality in the middle, and with wide players like Morrison and Mitchell (potentially), I think we'll still be pretty fluent and dangerous.

JamboJen Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Initial thought on seeing the that was "don't need to come back in the summer for the title run in, then" but when you think about out, it probably could be worse. Dikamona's looked good enough in his appearances to merit a starting position and we already remained unbeaten when Uche was out injured. Sean Clare is still to make an appearance and Vanecek's arriving in January. If we can see it through to the winter break without any more injuries and within touching distance of the top of the league, we have a chance to regroup in the New Year and reinforce if needed. It's a huge test, and both players will be missed, but CL built this squad with depth I've never before seen as a Hearts fan so it's time to make use of it.
