Its clear to me this isn't being addressed by those in charge, a deriliction of duty to their employees. Take Souttar for instance injury, repair injury repair, in jury repair here we have one of Scotland's brightest talents who has the potential to be burnt out by the time he's 26, yet the club's sole focus is fix and repair, are they not aware that this pattern can be and has to be broken for the benefit of Souttar and Hearts.

Pasquale for King Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 8 hours ago, Lord BJ said: I was recently speaking to someone at club ref loan and injuries. They stated to me it depends on club and injury and confidence in medical staff, travel times, injury etc (That’s not a dig a hearts before those who struggle with basic comprehension get all upset😂) So for example we had a loan player and Cowdenbeath and he got injured. We would want them back as our medical staff are better trained and can make a decision on best course and it’s 30min down road. However, say we had someone at Man City their would be a belief it’s cool to leave them there suitable medical staff, time of travel etc. It seems it’s very much down to individual circumstances, clearly clubs speak to each other to agree best course of action. Absolutely, my point ages ago was that when Mitchell was here he didn’t go down to get his injury looked at. Levein declared he would be fit for the weekend, they took him down and he was operated on before the weekend. Since then they’ve taken their players back down immediately.

You get different types of fracture which can take longer to heal, for instance a spiral fracture can be more complicated or an open wound fracture can take longer. Walkers fracture was a straight forward one with no displacement, a lot quicker to heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewiseone Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 No it really isn't and the sort of things I am referring to are human aspects that can't really be measured. For instance how would you measure, Confidence, sense of worth, feeling valued, enthusiasm, freedom of expression, creativity? These aspects of you and me are so important to our overall functioning more so in a football team setting than a lot of other sports. Hearts and their present coaches show little of these traits. When I watch the team I see little evidence of these or have I got this wrong as well? In fact they seem to be generating /doing the very opposite. Confidence is seeping out of the team with each passing game, even CL said this. Enthusiasm, just ask the fans how enthusiastic they are to turn up on match day, some lifelong fans turning their backs, now ask yourself how enthusiastic you would be playing in such a way, humping, huffing and puffing then turn it to the players, what evidence do you see of enthusiasm in and around the team.Our own fans even call it hoofball! Then we look at expression, those that have aired views have been shipped out, listen to CL before and after games this will tell you all you need to know about expression or lack of which is presently encouraged. Sense of worth ask - Vanacech, how he felt when he was publicly humiliated, just one aspect done in full view of the paying customer what goes on behind closed doors who knows. Then you have a constant monitoring of stats of players measured are km ran, speed distance etc. Where focus is put on and probably rewards given to those who do most , who work the hardest. A trait us Scots seem to glorify in, you get gubbed but you worked hard, never gave up blah,blah. Then we come to a sense of worth, players of limited ability to a degree that's why there with us being asked to play left back, right back, midfeld and forward who knows where the feck next week. These guys have got to know there is no one at the club who is a good a right winger as them, how important they are, to the team, how vital they are, it's like Walter Kidd, never endowed with great skill but knew his position, knew what was expected of him and made his position his own til he eventually became almost the first name on the team sheet, he knew his worth to the cause, do you see that within this presently. Then you have to peice all this together and connect the dots and understand that injury is merely a communication of the disharmony and dissatisfaction these guys are feeling from the methods and tactics generated at coaching level. That's why Al the man, evidence is futile, proof non existent, knowing, realisation, and wisdom by the bucket load! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Al the man, evidence is futile, proof non existent, knowing, realisation, and wisdom by the bucket load! 6 months ago I wouldn’t have agreed with you. But in that time my other club, Brighton, dismissed the beloved Chris Hughton, an all time club legend as manager, and replaced him with a relatively unknown manager in Graham Potter. A lot of fans were split as Hughton had done what he was expected to do and kept us up. The difference in the first few games had been staggering. Essentially the same players but they play with a confidence, energy and freedom that was unthinkable under CH who had them playing with fear and with so much rigidity, players interchange positions at will, the possession and chances created are through the roof. Also young players are coming through and really contributing. I was one who was so torn over CH leaving after his achievements but the improvement and feel good factor in only 8 league games has been amazing. As importantly the fans who were split are now 100% united. The parallels are clearly there with CL and now I have seen what is possible in such a short period of time I am convinced that is what we need, a change and a fresh impetus. Even with the same players the right manager could transform our fortunes. Edited October 15, 2019 by Brighton Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to turn it into another CL rant which explains why you think it's great. Hardly a rant big Al, you should swap places with Smithee when he's awY!

Tasavallan Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I quite like the way major sport in the US use the Sick Roster. When a player is determined to be "sick" by a doctor he goes on to the sick list and the manager can bring in a fresh player as a replacement. Of course in the US major teams have lower league affiliates connected to the club where players can be promoted from to maintain the squad numbers. It would never work in British football.

Rudy T Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 We’re missing Naismith Souttar and Harring from last season. Harring because he was thrown in injured and Naismith because he was rushed back. Levein had enough games last season without these players to work out how to put out a winning team. Add in he’s had Hickey Meshino Whelan Halkett Damour Washington and Walker and he’s managed 1 league and 1 cup win in 90 minutes. Take out Washington Walker and Halkett who are now injured he still has a better team than last year however we’re worse than we were. Injuries have provided a massive smoke screen for Levein in his manipulation of Ann Budge. The bottom line is he cannot put a team out to win football matches on a consistent basis because he has no idea how to motivate or structure a team when things change.

Your village doesn't appear to need a replacement. BTW I live in a city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
