Voiceofreasonfortheseason Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Can someone please explain to me why Naismith is not a Hearts player right now and why he has not been part of the pre season?I am sorry if this has been done to death just cant be bothered going back to find out. It's like he is guaranteed to sign but doesn't seem to be happening. Edited July 27, 2019 by Voiceofreasonfortheseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocobeab Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The more games like today that pass, the more I daydream ... that when SN is finally announced as having signed, he does so in a Player/Coach capacity. Teaming up with Austin McP managing the first team squad as CL moves back behind the scenes. Appreciate it’s purely fantasy but such a move would give the whole place a tremendous boost and entirely change the negativity that surrounds our media coverage. No secret that Levein lacks a single ally in Scottish media while Naismith is the polar opposite. I know there’s an argument these things count for little but spun appropriately it could be a handover that brings the place alive again and lights the touch paper to the start of our season. I know, I know. I’m a dreamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 3 hours ago, soonbe110 said: Scottish psyche = the boss is always to blame. Well, aye. He picks, buys, selects the players. Nurtures the mentality, sets the formations, deals with people and their emotions etc....he’s responsible for keeping the team focused. Its not a scottish thing. You’ll find that managers are to blame in any division anywhere and will lose their jobs this season. And I could post this on the posters words you quoted too. We may not like it as fans but players do down tools or lose morale under certain conditions and managers. There’s very few who self manage and always give their all. Players playing shite can also be attributed to managers buying shite players. So, it’s not the players fault. They are what they are.

Kiwidoug Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 In addition to him, we need at least two exciting signings who will make a big difference.

I can vouch for i8's status as a (former) Hearts supporter btw. I will not vouch for his fashion sense - Anybody that big bald and ugly should not be flaunting their curves in day-glo hues IMO. I've got one poster on ignore - problem being the poster is a 100 post a day sort who disagrees with many - so I see his shitty quoted replies often, which makes me shake with rage. Stevie Naismith is good but not the overall answer. I'm glad he's our player but not stoked that we are pinning our season's hope on him yet again. We better sign effective players at this level soon or we can expect no better than scraping top six.

However, we have qualified for the next round and we did finish top of the league albeit unseeded. The management, IMO, are to blame for these bad performances. They are employed to manage and they have not managed to convince us (the fans) that this team are capable of progressing this season. This is also off the back of last season where we all had the same feeling. I'm convinced that the players are not responding well to what is being asked of them by the management. Its like working for a boss you hate - you do everything you can just to piss him/her off. Herein lies my point. Many people are saying (paraphrasing here): Oh well, when Naismith returns, everything will be fine. Is it really correct to put all our eggs into one basket? what happens if Naismith doesn't return (although I think he will)? what happens if/when he is injured again? He isn't invincible! Currently the Hearts team appear to be on the same track of regression that haunted us last season - I appreciate that it is early in the season but still - it is early for everyone. IMO we certainly cannot rely on Naismith - we need other options - what is Levein et al seriously doing about our midfield and attack? Thoughts? We created more chances than I can remember a Hearts team creating. But we need to play at a higher tempo. Naismith will help that but it doesn't seem to be a priority for the coaches. A lot of teams play too slowly but it's too early to assess the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
