HMFC86 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 At Falkirk I think. Just a young player forced into playing before he was truly ready, due to our situation, seemed to go to his head a bit. Had bags of potential but that’s all really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Was never as good as he thought he was. Intact he was an awful defender. Every time he was put at centre half we were likely to concede. When him and Augustyn(sp) ended up together in defence it was a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boag1874 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Feck him. Thought he was billy big baws and has now found his level. Still not forgiven him for that handball v Aberdeen btw. Summed his defensive intelligence up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't rate him as highly as others though you never know for sure. He did seem to be improving around 15/16 but still playing full back and he got impatient. I thought he should have stayed at Hearts instead of going to Middlesbrough. Could have developed a bit more. At least he is playing regularly now.

Martin_T Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Never gave the impression that he was fully concentrated on making it at Hearts, seemed to be all too happy to let his agent play up news stories of interest from other clubs and IIRC, only signed a two year extension towards the end of the Championship season when I'm sure that, at the time, the club would have been keen to secure him on a longer deal.

Loads of folk raved about his potential but I never really saw it. Remember seeing him for Scotland u21s a few times as well and he was poor. No ill will to the guy though.

Regal Kingston Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Came in as a 16 year old and looked a great prospect. Its a shame his head was turned.

Just wasn't rated highly enough at Hearts to play centre half but did play regularly at full back latterly left back. Ian Cathro started him in 3 at back before he was sacked. Maybe would never have established himself at Hearts. But I thought he should have stayed instead of going to Middlesbrough. Playing is what matters not the position. But it is a risk whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 1 minute ago, It should have been ten said: Pish player, found his level He has no above attributes as a player in my opinion. Not strong in the air, not a leader, not a great passer of the ball. So what he had to do was work his socks off, and he never did that for us. And yes I think the Championship probably is his level, just like Calum Elliot and many others, they weren't good enough for an ambitious club like Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
