rick witter Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 A good learning experience today. Hickey, Irving and Smith all good. Clare, Brandon Shaughnessy and Wighton nowhere near good enough to play for Hearts. Hopefully the last league game as manager for Levein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Game over without being embarrassed. Only one injury to a player who would probably started on bench next week. A few youngsters exposed to a big game atmosphere and coped ok. Onto the big one next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 As positive as it could have been without winning/picking up a point. Well done to the kids who worked hard for 90 minutes and for Levein for getting his team and tactics fairly spot on under the circumstances. Fill steam ahead 25 May.

BOBTHEBRUCE Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 So what have we learned from today? Other than Levein still doesn't know how to get his team to attack. He should of taken this opportunity to try out a few things upfront, but naw. We're going to go into the final with slightly different personnel and the exact same tactics. Absolutely no chance of winning anything when your attacking threat is virtually non existent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Hickey is a talented lad, in a few years when he is physically stronger, he will be excellent. **** knows why Andy Irvine hasn’t played before now this season (apart from Cove). Better footballer than Lee and Bozanic. Composed and a great passer. Connor Smith did well too. Well done young lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thought Hickey played well and done even better to carry on when clearly struggling. Irving looked composed in the middle would like to see him getting more chances next season. Smith done not too bad again today hopefully gets more chances next season Wighton thought he done a very difficult job well today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had a great career, is a model professional and he’s had a massive influence on players like Souttar and Cochrane. He has done lots for our club. Not doubting that, but do you think it was worth risking the serious long term injury of a 16 year old who is just breaking into a problem position for us? Sentimentality aside, it was a ludicrous decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Impressed with the youngsters and Wighton had a better game than usual, in the first half anyway. Clare needs to do more next week but at least he will be fit as he didn't expell much energy today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gershwin Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Frustrating second half. Thought we were decent in the first 45 but they made some tactical changes and we didn't get a look in after that. Really need a better player in Clare's position.

on&up2017 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Most composed, quality football played since the first 10 games or so of the season. No long/second ball nonsense! Normal service resumed for the final with the usual suspects back in and talented, energetic kids out. Hope I’m wrong! I actually enjoyed that, first time I’ve said that for months. The game was a goner as soon as Hughes ? came on though, space opened up and far more loose balls out from the back. Why not take off Shaunassay. I’m all for respect but at the expense of a confidence boost before the cup final, NAH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Clair. Is it just me, but all he does is jog about the park with those two arms raised pressed into his chest and when in possession gives the ball away when challenged because he has feck all upper body strength and is easily dispossessed. Brandon should be nowhere near the first team. Edited May 19, 2019 by maroonlegions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately needs to fill out a bit but he could be a great player for us in a few years. I thought he was probably one of our best players today with Bobby.

He's had a couple of flashes in the first team but on the whole he's a poor player and way below the standard we need. 21 now so getting a bit too old for the youth team and nowhere near good enough for the first team.

Kept to a respectable scoreline and didn’t fold like we usually do after going down to an early goal. 6th is where we deserved to finish. Surely we can only improve from here.

mitch41 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Any manager from Fort William to Liverpool who leaves any player on, especially a young 16 year old, who is obviously in trouble and in pain and makes a substitution for a player who is retiring should be shown the door. Souttar wasn’t injured it was just a gesture which could of been made in our last home game. And all because of this our young 16 year old left back has to suffer which is pure stupidity from Levein.

Deevers Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Interesting watch. I think we might have one or two from that team regularly in the first team squad next season. Irving in particular looked pretty handy. I really don’t get the downright depressive nonsense from some on here. We all knew that it was going to be a nothing at stake match. I have seen far more experience Hearts side take a doing in these games at Parkhead. Let’s focus on next Saturday now. Just a bit of luck and we can do this.
