gov Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 My bad if someone normally sets these threads up or its a bit early...just a bit bored at work With Craig confirming some players are out of Friday through injury and suspension how would everyone line up? tough test for the first game clearly the hardest game of the group but if we win then would be very confident of getting out the group and be a positive start to the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Jamie Walker only has an outside chance of playing. Haring and White won’t feature and MacLean suspended. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/latest-hearts-news/craig-levein-gives-fitness-and-selection-update-on-hearts-quartet-1-4962168 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I didn't realise until this morning that MacLean is suspended. With Uche and Washington not anything like 100% fit either and Wighton injured, I'm not sure who'll start up front. I'll go for: Bobby Smith Souttar Berra Burns McDonald Edwards Clare Mulraney Zanatta Keena Subs: Doyle, Halkett, Brandon, Cochrane, Uche, Washington and Bozanic I've gone with Edwards because he seems fitter and more energetic than others in the squad and we'll need someone to close players down quickly. Since Walker hasn't been training, I don't think he'll be risked. Edited July 10, 2019 by Captain Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gov Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share Posted July 10, 2019 I have a feeling it will be a draw with people booing us off the pitch and people wanting craigs head on a pike... but i am looking forward to the season, maybe because at the grand old age of 29 i have my first season ticket!

DG_HMFC Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 10 minutes ago, His name is said: There will be chaos if we don't win with a good performance. This will be the story of the season... And quite rightly imo. Levein has known for ages what this team needs. A proper midfield. He has, once again, failed to address the issue. To be going into our first competitive game of the season with so many injuries again is shambolic. I'm hoping that some of the young lads, along with Clare, can step up to the plate in the middle of the park, because if Dundee Utd turn up to Tynecastle and run all over the top of us, Levein will not recover from it and it'll be the beginning of the end for him imo. Might sound a bit dramatic, but I genuinely feel the support is close to breaking point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambopilms Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I have the fear with this one. With a full team these early games can be dodgy. Missing half the first 11 is worrying. Hopefully the likes of zanatta, harry, Irvine can give us something to smile about. Edited July 10, 2019 by jambopilms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and 2-1 Hearts. I'm not sure why. I don't think we'll play three central defenders every week and he'll need to earn his place like everyone else. I don't see any reason why he'd jump ahead of Berra or Souttar initially. I'd go for a flat back four in all the league cup games as an extra defender probably won't be needed.

I think he's probably come here on the understanding that he'll replace Souttar when sold, or Berra in the medium term. I don't see why he'd expect to be shoehorned into the team immediately.

davemclaren Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Last year's league cup campaign started with a whimper ( and a two points reduction ) but we still managed to hammer Cowdenbeath and ICT to qualify top.

king.Robbo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 We should have too much for Utd, I want to see better passing game from us this season instead of Berra hoofing it!!! for me I can see it being bobby smith. Souttar Berra. Hickey Harry . / Bozanic Clare Connor. Uche.
