Jambof3tornado Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Winning some of our remaining league fixtures just became more important. Not because of getting higher up the league but to build a bit of confidence going into the final. How we set up in these games is down to Craig. He gets my support in the matches but I will be disappointed if he doesnt stand down after the cup final, be nice to do that on a high note.

The football in the middle and latter part has been tedious and there has been a lack of passion and drive. We need to forget this in the hope that we can be part of one of the our greatest ever leading us to glory, watching Levein lift a trophy as Hearts manager would be right up there with 1998 and 2012.

JamboAl Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 2 hours ago, Jodami said: I keep going on about it but I would like to see improvements on the coaching side. Much more work on transition so we actually move the ball better in open play. A stated ambition of Levein after admin was to play in a similar formation so players making the transition from youth to reserve to first team football would find it easier. This also means that if you do have injuries you can bring players in to play in a position and formation they re comfortable in. All our age groups play the same way apart from the first team. I am delighted we are in a cup final, I am 48 so believe me I know how rare they are. It doesn't change the general situation on the footballing side though. The only way to compete in a league where 2 teams will always have better players is coaching and organisation. 2 Idealistic claptrap! You are effectively saying that if Berra is injured we could bring in some CD from our U15 team and he would do a similar job. Also even if you are referring to coaching, how do you know we're not planning for next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 The stick Levein’s got has been disgraceful. Has he failed to come up with a plan b when key players were injured, especially naismith and uche? Yes. Is he stuck in his ways and inflexible when it comes to setting the team up? Probably. Facts are though even if we finish 6th, a semi, a cup final and leading the league for however long we did counts as a well above average season. Pretty sure the 5 year plan also aimed to have us challenging for honours by the 5th year. Job done. Great comeback story for us and definitely to be celebrated instead of booed.

Your 15 year old example is obviously utterly ridiculous as well. Playing the same way through the age groups obviously makes sense but that set up is usually adopted by clubs with a classic director of football structure.
