Pans Jambo Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) He is by far the best player we have. I am a big fan. I want him to be first pick every week. I think he should be our team captain. BUT Is this how its going to be for the next 4 years??? On the treatment table more than the pitch?

Surprising that a Hearts fan would be happy at a half fit player being named in the squad despite having constant niggly injuries and having hardly played all season. Fair enough though. We all view things differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Selfishly I’m delighted he’s missed training and hopefully he’ll withdraw from the squad and benefit from the international break. Was a bizarre selection by Clarke in the first place. Give him a player/Head Coach role and get CL away from the first team squad.

baxterd1974 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 He should never have gone. No blame on the club, he should have be more respectful to Hearts IMO. We are struggling, he has barely kicked a ball, pulled out of the starting line up on Saturday due to tightness. He is at the stage of his career where we are correct to trust him, in this case Naismith himself has made a bad decision I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Isn’t it very unlikely (barring lots of injuries) he’d play for Scotland- given I’d imagine they will only play one striker and he’d be fourth or fifth choice- though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourth or fifth choice? He was first choice before he got injured last year. Surely even the change of manager won’t change that. Who would be in front of him and why?

That’s why I said, if he has. It’s probably more likely to be the case that he was fit and he’s maybe injured himself running, something which happens. If that’s the case and he’s injured himself on international duty, the SFA pay for it. What is also likely to be the case is that it is probably a minor injury, which is why he is still with the Scotland camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Not looking good at this point. We desperately need our best players on the pitch and playing well.

The Apprentice Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I've always thought he was called up more for the influence he'd have around the squad than to play a big part in both games when you consider its fairly inexperienced.
