AB is not going to be swayed by a protest nor will it influence whether CL feels as though he can continue as manager. Things will take their natural course.

If we get everyone back from injury and continue to perform poorly then I think she will act. This will never happen, and the other squad players we have are too weak to cover effectively for most of the long term injuries we have. Coupled with the never ending saga of selecting Sean Clare for every game, haring & naismith being out for what seems like an eternity with a hernia & 'tight hamstring' - it's a joke.

Blame lies with the manager & staff for assembling such a limp group of underachievers.. Inevitably there will always be some players injured, but when we have the bulk of our quality players back then more of a judgement can be made. I don't think there's much disagreement amongst the support about the quality of the squad though i.e. I think most fans think we have a good squad. But, yes, they are definitely underachieving.

I wonder how much confidence the players have in the formation and tactics they are asked to play at times. Could also be a factor. It just looks like they’ve not bought into what is being asked of them at times. I also think individual performances are being harmed by being moved position. I think this is one of the biggest problems. We chop and change formation so regularly how are the players meant to build up an understanding with each other.

Walker - probably November Washington - probably December Souttar - probably January So we would have to make it to January with no more significant injuries. And even then, you just know the excuse will be the good players need a couple of months playing together before they can be judged. Before you know it, it’s March 2020 and the season is nearly over.

What will the reaction be from the “vast majority of Hearts fans” to Levein if Rangers give us a right doing??? A quick chorus of “we’ll support you ever more” or “one Craig Levein there’s only one Craig Levein”???? Or will it be a solo performance from your good self?? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres supporting the good and the bad and theres sitting back and watching a single single person come the ***** with the football club and is too pig headed to do what’s in the best interests of the club. That person needs removed before it can become good again and it doesn’t look like anything is going to remove him so it’s time for protest. I’m sure pieman thought the fans knew sod all either and he was doing his best for the club and again, too pig headed to do the right thing. This is NOTHING like the Pieman era at the club.

With respect Budge not taking action to replace a failed Manager is anything but natural. I wonder if Budge is fully aware of the simmering anger and frustration of her paying customers! You are right about one thing - Levein does not give a flying **** about any bodies opinion as he thinks he is Mr Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I hope the intention of the protesters is just to have a quick protest ( it will need to be, 12.15 ko) I hope there isn't going to be any attempt to block the turnstiles and turn this 'protest' into a picket line. I'm intending to enter as soon as the gates are open just in case. Nothing against them having a protest as long as they support the team at the match.

feldylaird Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 23 hours ago, Debut 4 said: Even if you were right, what’s wrong with fighting for better anyway? It’s exactly what’s wrong with quite a few Hearts fans. “Ah well, we’re shite now and again anyway”. It’s a poison. Put demands on the team and club when justified. Fans CAN influence the attitude in a club, we have done before just like other clubs supporters. We slag the old firm, particularly Rangers fans , for their apparent delusions and entitlement but at least their attitude drips into the psyche of their club and you better believe they fight for it. In the end they always come good. They don’t accept pish. What a load of pish. You were almost onto something initially but you are away down the wrong road. Our first team is mince just now and I for one am keen to see us revert to the original DOF/progressive Head Coach (which I don't think we have on our books) but to even fleetingly think that rangers are anything to aspire to is so so wrong. The question you should ask yourself is 'how have rangers got to the top of the league' and look at the journey of overpaying players in div 2, developing absolutely nothing sustainable and ethical, playing shite football (until Gerard arrived - I think this generation i.e. Southgate, Lampard, Solskjaer, there are probably others have a positive philosophy), all in the name of their obsession with celtic. Hopefully they will disappear forever in due course. Am I happy with not winning? No. Do i want to win at all costs (as rangers are doing)? No. I am confident that we will come again and I will be delighted to remind you of your slavering when we do. Though some say the rangers and celtic are grand, but the boys in maroon are the best in the land. And don't forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did we lack confidence after beating Hibs, then Aberdeen and getting a draw at St Mirren. after 3 without loss you’d have thought confidence would be high V Killie. Absolutely honking that day!!

feldylaird Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 My first team analysis is: Berra cannot be a first pick now. I love him but he should just be filling in. We are sorely missing (and have done for ages) a midfield leader. We should attack all the time as a matter of course. We miss John Robertson.

Official_AB Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 To be honest! With the game been live, a protest is probably only going to give more creditability to what’s been going on the pitch. change is needed, maybe force the arm of AB seen as the whole nation will see it!

WheatfieldWarrior Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I don't think there was appetite for a protest after the Hibs and Aberdeen results among most fans. Even with the protest a few weeks ago, the estimated 300 figure vs the 15,000 hearts fans that were at the game means that 98% of fans at the game gave that protest a body swerve.
