jambopilms Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Opinions ? Clearly hasn't improved the defence, and Berra is getting all the shit. Berra has been awful but I dont think Halkett is as good defensively as we all hoped. Positionally all over the place. Berra seem to be on his own too often. Granted shouldn't really judge anyone when everyone is poor. And before I get told he is the least off the problems, I do know that. I think we miss Souter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaba Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Halkett had a poor game today, but he’s been a fantastic signing. The boy Gallagher for Motherwell today was his CB partner at Livi last season, maybe we should have brought both of them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good player all round, and an asset going forward. However, he has looked a bit of a bombscare at times and is a central part of an utterly shambolic defence. Would hopefully thrive under a competent manager.

AlphonseCapone Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Overall he's been a good signing. Was definitely off his game today but that's down to the situation imo. Him and Souttar should be starters when both fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Levein breeds negativity and instills fear into players. He doesn't realise it of course, because like McPhee, they think they are clever tactically, and one step ahead of the opposition. However, what they really are is ultra cautious coaches, who make players go into their shell, make them afraid of making a mistake or making a wrong pass. The players heads are full of instructions on how to prevent the opposition from playing, before they even begin to think about what they're supposed to be doing. The result is bottom of the table stuff, and performances that wouldn't be out of place in the 1st division.

But...can't see Halkett singled out. Others have already hit in bang on, will be up there with our POTY nominations. Admittedly, it might be a small list at this rate... Halkett is a very good player. He is currently with a group of players suffering from a massive lack of confidence, due to results, tactics, and coaching methods.

He said the only offers he got were St Johnstone and Motherwell. He said he would've chose St Johnstone as it is closer to Dundee but Motherwells offer was too good to turn down. So in short I definitely think had we have gone in for him he'd have came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ1977 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Was poor against Hamilton and no better today. I’m not seeing anything other than a run off the mill spl defender.

jambonian Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Halkett, like others, will come good when coached properly. His form was poor today but hardly surprising. Happens to most of the players we sign, look decent and fall away after a couple of months, been happening like that since Neilson was around. Confident he'll come good in the end and the rest of them will look like completely different players once a new management team are brought in.

Jambof3tornado Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Levein showing great talent for getting the worst out of players. Halkett is way down the list of current problem areas.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The defence should be our strongest department under a manager who after all played with distinction at the back but unfortunately he is failing badly to organise anything positive on the pitch right now. If he can't get it right in a position he played in then there is zero hope the rest of the team will suddenly start to play well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Nobody is exempt from criticism but I actually thought both have been much worse this season. For example, Halkett was caught miles out of position at Motherwell’s goal at Fir Park or his booking at Parkhead. Berra’s mistakes have been mega highlighted elsewhere. Today’s goals came from Clare losing his man (after allowing a shot while claiming a non-existent free kick), Uche putting Seedorf right through and Clare failing to put it in row Z when a comeback was a serious possibility. NB where is the Clare thread today? I’m amazed that hasn’t resurfaced after his worst performance yet in a Hearts jersey, ironically following on from what was probably his best. Anyway, their other chances, the rather alarming foot race apart, really came from the flanks as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
