First it it was let’s see how we get on when he has had a summer transfer window. Then last season let’s see how we get on once players are back from injury. It just sounds like blind hope now.

Jodami Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Absolutely no surprise today, however our capacity to concede soft goals in any game continues to be a worry. We now go into a home game against in all probability the worst team in the league and we need to come up with a system that opens up teams parking the bus at Tynecastle. This is key as you expect us to concede in most games, even at home. What’s apparent from this week's press is Levein is very aware of the criticism, trying to write off a problem in the calendar year as a start of season blip. Fans are not stupid, the only way to respond is a large improvement in our play, building on the promise shown at Fir Park. Today was a free pass but the next few games are must win under pressure games, it will be interesting to see how we respond.

Once you understand that, my reasoning is perfectly logical. I understand that most dislike hibs more, I don't try to enforce my views on them or berat them for it. Hibs winning the cup was shite but tbh the only time I ever discuss it is on here. Other than that I never give it a thought. Off topic tho. You are never a Hearts supporter .

Hearts007 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, Jambof3tornado said: No post match levein dribble yet? Defiant boss Craig Levein claims his Hearts side are "nearly there" – despite being second bottom of the Scottish Premiership and on a horrendous run. "Normally if you come here and only give up five chances you don’t expect to lose three goals. "It’s an own goal and Craig Halkett has scored the third one so that’s an own goal as well. I’ve got to look at ourselves and it’s difficult. There’s a load of positives and a lot of good performances but the overall feeling is one of frustration. "This team is nearly there but we just need a little bit more from everybody. Then I think we’ll be off and running. He added: "Naisy probably (could come back next week) but I don’t think John will make it. "Hopefully we’ll have a player in this week as well."

Cut The Crap Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Truly believe that we won’t improve until the coaching staff is replaced. Seems unlikely given that Levein has been allowed to spunk the budget again. Hope I’m wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T.F.Robertson Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 We bring in supposedly better players yet nothing ever changes. Same turgid, unimaginative, boring, safety-first "style", lacking in any real ambition.

Kirky Jambo Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I’ve been in the Levein out camp for over a year now, but don’t see any point in swinging the axe right now. The time to do it was the summer (or indeed the summer before). Unless we continue to fail to win games over the next few weeks or an outstanding candidate becomes available, I think we persevere until January. Its not that he really deserves a stay of execution but my feeling is the squad actually seem to like working for him and he attracts decent players like Naismith, Washington and Halkett, so must command some respect. Getting rid of him now might just cause more disruption. I do think results will improve over the next few weeks, but unless there is a dramatic change in style of play and performance levels that is maintained until January, we surely have to look to bring in a whole new management/coaching team at that point. Not sure I can see him turning it round but hope I’m proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein himself, in his first spell in the early noughties, said that players are durable and handle change more than anyone. They just want to play. Imo, We are crying out for a natural motivator who keeps things simple. We have some good attacking players who need a bit freedom. Who feel good about themselves and are bursting to get on the park. We just seem stifled and have done for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
