In our current predicament he may have done a job, but overall he wasn't good enough for me. That said, we still have worse on our books.

Glad to be playing I’m sure, but came across as a decent sort and I expect he’ll want us to do well. He signed for Burton Albion, not Barcelona.

been here before Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 As someone who was there in 98, 06 and 2012, enjoyed every minute of our 22 in a row and who savoured so many great moments in the Shed I can honestly say that Ryan Edwards gave me the best ten minutes Ive ever had following Hearts at Hampden last May. He'd make very little difference to that pish we're currently watching just now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiehmfc Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 FFS of all the things to have a go at Levein about this isnt one. Edwards worked hard but was very limited, hence why he was playing with Partick thistle, why when he went on loan to St Mirrren and is now at Burton Albion.

jambonian Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Remember at the time I was wondering why we were signing him. Don't think he was ever the answer but at the same time, he wasn't given a fair chance, just like a few others before him. Pointless signing. Yet, when he does get in the team towards the end of the season, he fought for every ball when he could. Get his chance in a national Cup Final and scores. His reward? Booted out. He did plenty of chasing around the field trying to make an impact rather than pass the buck like so many of the rest Wonder what his thinking was when he was watching Clare running about like a heidless chicken while he's up in the stand?

3fingersreid Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Helped change the game at Easter road , scored a goal in the final that had us believing for a short time , overall energy got us up the park , was he a long term solution probably not but wouldn’t be any worse than what we’ve got at the minute . Could or should’ve moved on Bozanic before Edwards as we’re well covered in DM , but it is what it is , a midfield devoid of pace , attack and guile . No players to blame for that , just the man and his team in charge . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of them should be, or should have been, anywhere near a first team place at Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of why he signed him in the first place, send him away, bring him back again in January and not play him until the final couple of games after the split. Edwards didn't do himself any harm by scoring that goal in the Cup Final but seems that doesn't matter to Levein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weegie jambo Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 problem here is Levein and his tactics and motivation of players or rather lack of.

Edwards is a very average player IMO - but one thing we certainly lack is an attacking midfielder making late runs into the box - as Edwards did for his goal in the final. It's the biggest issue with the team at the moment. Peter Haring and Naismith returning to the team will be a big boost because we know they both offer a goal threat.
