Kiwidoug Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Steven Naismith could be bad for my health. I am very strategic and like 2012 have bern planning to have one Stella per goal plus one at half time. The team is normally announced around 40 mins before kick-off. If Naismith is in it, despite my best intentions, I'll probably have about 10 Stellas before the kick-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chester copperpot Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I cannot possibly see him making the game this Saturday. At best, it will be on the bench but he's going to be seriously unfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavman81 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 On the bench this is a gamble worth taking. He’s experienced and savvy enough to maybe last half an hour/45 minutes and could just make a telling contribution without having to run himself into the ground. If he can make it - have him in the squad. Could be the genuine difference in winning the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo83 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Let's be honest, a half fit Stevie Naismith is still probably a bigger asset than a 100% fit MacLean.. If we are drawing or a goal down, I think he would be an immense lift for the players and fans with perhaps 25 mins remaining.. I don't think he'll make it, but there's a wee glimmer there that we're giving him as many days as possible to prove his knee could stand a brief run out.

I believe that if he’s available for selection, he should start the final. At least if he breaks down, you can sub him. What's the point bringing him on later, to then break down, and have to sub a sub. If he isn't fully 90 minute fit, we might get a good 60 mins. I very much doubt it...but fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game could easily be over last 20 mins if we haven’t given absolutely everything. Get him on. A nice enough distraction for them to focus on. mulraney maisey run, cut in, goal. Job done.

Naismith was poor when he came in from Norwich to start with and drastically improved when he was up to speed towards the end of the season, also with his injury record it could backfire spectacularly. Saying that I’m a gambling man so I would also have him on the bench to utilise if it’s tight with 20 mins to go as it would also give the players around him and support a massive boost.

We_are_the_Hearts Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 He had a good pre-season and has played 19 games this season. He came back into the team last time without any reserve or bounce game. His experience and football brain will se him through, I hope he plays. This "match fitness" is overstated. Especially with Naisy's quality, brain and organisation on the park.

I bet he hasn't trained with the group since his injury and they aren't planning on not doing so until pre season. Instead, they are putting in extra rehab and fitness work.
