Edit :wiki says 8. another edit: says he scored 6 in 21 for port vale as well. My Wiki says 5 in 25 appearances for Hearts as at October 27th. And yes 4 and 2 in separate loans at Port Vale.

In all comps his career goals to games is 1:4.44 which isn’t great but not a disaster either. Agree he’s not the goal scorer we need though.

Captain Canada Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Imagine if we tried something different in this game. We're so predictable it's ridiculous. Why not shake things up a bit and let the opposition worry about us? A 4-3-3 would take them by surprise. Joel, Smith, Dikamona, Berra, Hickey, Damour, Irving, Clare, Uche, Keena and Meshino. Just launch high balls at Uche the whole game and get Clare, Keena and Meshino to feed off the scraps. At least it would be a clear tactic and style of play rather than whatever it is we've been watching for the past year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Can't see us winning this any more than at Hampden on Sunday. We don't win football matches anymore. Our only hope, imo, is a 0-0 draw, and a point, then another goalless game on Sunday, aet, and win on pens. I'd take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein would be praised by most for taking that initiative even if it didn't work. On a similar positive vein, according to my phone app, we haven't lost to St J in the last 7 games. The negative of course is that we have attacked teams, particularly in the League Cup, created dozens of chances, but couldn't score. Time to change all that. What a boost it would be if were 2-0 up at half time and kept attacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is incredible how bad our record is with strikers scoring goals. So common over the last 20 years or so for our top scorer to have a dozen or so, even single figures sometimes. Lafferty got close but no one has hit 20 since robbo in 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
