Yoda Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 20 minutes ago, red said: Great performance tonight. For 60-65 mins we bossed that game playing some really nice stuff along the way! New Goalie looks the part! Berra looked back to Normal, Halkett is a brilliant signing, Smith is just Mr Consistent (player of the year for me) Hickey is just outstanding! Best prospect since Gordon. Washington was brilliant and Irving was in and out off game, Mulraney was outstanding in stages. I worry a bit about Clare (when is he gonna arrive!?) Whilst I think it’s time for Craig Levein I want this for him more than anyone! The interview before the game I thought he looked broken and it’s clear he was hurting badly! The guys bleeds maroon! Anyway the past is the past. There wasn’t a bad player on that starting line up tonight and last week there wasn’t, We have a real good squad with some outstanding youngsters and we really really needed that tonight! Now we f****** go!! Nailed it, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five to One Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Special mention for Irving tonight. He was outstanding along with Hickey in the 1st half. Very tidy midfielder who can really go places if he keeps developing. Big Jambo too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmreido Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Vast improvement, best I've felt after a Hearts game in a long time, some great individual performances, especially Hickey, Irving, Halkett and Washington.... looking good for the season ahead.

They were ghosting past us in the last 20 mins. Better teams will hammer us. I think it is more to do with Damour getting tired. Our team needs a really good defensive midfielder. He allows the team to play. Once he is fully match fit and we have Whelan playing, I don’t think you will see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboFever Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 What really struck me was the composure. Very very few balls launched upfield. Instead a touch, a turn of the body, a player found on the deck. Yes it sometimes made its way back for Pereira to launch, but generally that was night and day. More please, you lovely maroon feckers.... 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goalscoring Knee Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I liked the way that for the first time in what seems like ages they all looked confident enough to pass the ball at speed through traffic to work openings. Genuinely excited to see what might be around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Vespa Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Agreed. Said the same to myself during the game, this is more like the Hearts I want to see. Just couldn't see a striker scoring though, bar a penalty, we need one, I have my hopes pinned on Keena but doesn't seem to get a decent shot. None of our strikers will ever be prolific, bar Naismith of course if he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambogaza Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Excellent. Very, very good. Spot on team selection and tactics. We don't need a big bruiser up top - uche should be an impact player to batter tired defences. We played so much better football without him tonight. How good is hickey, what a talent.

You can see the potential and the new signings are not match fit, but some real quality in the squad. I reckon we're a few weeks away yet, but let's just relax, cut them a bit of slack and I'm sure we're going to be enjoying plenty of good football this season. Well said budski, I couldnt agree more HHGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay James Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I watched the game with a mate who's an Everton fan. Interesting observations from him. He thought that Hickey and Irving were immense and that Washington played the lone front man role perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Great win and performance but a niggling doubt still about our lack of a goal threat. Hopefully our new guy and Naismith will help make a difference when it comes to creating and taking chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys calling for berra to pack it in, Damour to gtf, Claire being Claire. A bloody good night and all should take the dwarves credit but it will be daggers out next weekend as per normal. As expected. And again next week if we beat Hamilton it will be full steam on the winners juggernaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Rob Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) I genuinely don’t want to come onto JKB after a defeat any more. It’s the same story every time, with the same people in the firing line. We lost to Celtic in Glasgow. I truly wish it weren’t, but this is the normal state of affairs.

How many times does the manager set the team up the same way, get the same result, set up with everyone behind the ball again, get skelped again and just repeat the same thing over and over? Trying the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different outcome is madness. He’s had his time, it’s time to step aside. His last four kickoffs against Celtic are worthy of the sack on their own, absolutely embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have all but given up coming on to JKB looking for anything but snippets of information. I post infrequently now, just occasionally if I have some info to offer or to have a bit of a laugh in some of the more amusing threads in the Shed. Anything else is just continual moaning and whining over the same subjects day in day out. NOTHING anyone says on here is going to change anything about the way things are for Hearts just now. That can only come from those in charge. I will continue to support my club as best I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
