Got us to a cup final and semi final last season despite having a really bad year of injuries. Unbeaten so far this season. No way are Hearts going to sack him at this stage of the season.

Don Dan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Very very few injuries to key players (Haring apart) can be used as an excuse for these recent performances. Naysmith will certainly add something but other than that we have no real depth in the squad. The system and or the urgency are both found wanting. As for recruitment Halkett is the only one out of how many that show promise. It’s just not acceptable anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who he works for a what he does. You’ve just pulled a ‘been places, done things’. You believe who you want. I’m not going to get into it. Never have on here in nigh on 20years and never will. Im aware of CC and as I said normally no issue with him but from my knowledge what he said is not accurate. I did also say liked and respected two very different things. Craig is a hard man to like at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 So much potential at this club with a more open mind to who we could employ and with a different outlook.

campbell Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Just now, E6 Inc said: Genuine question, do you think we've got better since last year? Because in 2019 I think we've won a grand total 10 games, including draws again a league two side and getting beaten by bottom 6 prem teams. So unless you think we've improved since the end of the year we wont be doing anything in the league or the cups. Finally a conversation, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to answer since I’m an undercover hibs fan. However I will answer, I think we've stayed much the same, we are clearly light in the middle which means we are unable to dominate games, something that needs to be addressed very quickly.

We’ve been honking since last November yet we stumble from one bad result to another. We all know he should’ve left after the cup final & sticking by him and giving him this season is only going to waste more time. Unless things improve dramatically, there’s no way he should stay.

The problem is specifying where the problem lies when we don’t know fully how much is done by MacPhee , Daly , Fox or Levein. End of Levein needs to take responsibility for it but I know for a fact certain people at Tynecastle share my disdain for Fox and Daly. That suggests to me at least a part of the problem lies there and whilst Levein is DoF even if he doesn’t remain Head Coach he needs to deal with that.

The fact that this kind of result was not a surprise to anyone who's watched us the last 8/9 months says it all. There are shite excuses being trotted out every week. I've never known anything like it in 36 years watching Hearts. Sure we've had bad results in the past but it was never acceptable to either the players, managers or fans. People dont seem to give a toss anymore. We've lost quite a bit dig and passion the last 3/4 years and loads of people don't seem to care. Yep. There are a load of people on here who gleefully champion this mediocrity and fall over themselves to shut down anyone who wants us to do better.

Well I’m surely Neilson and Cathro would say other wise! I think the quality we have isn’t massively lower than killie, Hibs and Aberdeen imo obviously, all teams have lost players and replaced with a bit of unknowns so I think we will be competitive, yes the end last 6 months have been very poor and injuries only excuses so much of this but I’m willing to see what we can do with what looks like a better forward line on paper, I’m certainly not going to lose my mind over league cup games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
