Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Where's the Saturday thread? The inactivity is warping the mind further than ever before with the status quo being so abject.

I am actually looking forward to relegation,hopefully that will mean the end for Fudge,her Golden girls,her brother in law the maintenance joiner ,her nephew the bar man and Levein and his darts team. Then we can start becoming a football club again. Yawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 What I am finding a bit strange at the minute is the complete radio silence from all aspects of social media. Nothing from any players at all over the last 7-10 days. The club social media normally shows clips from training etc but again nothing. Now it could be Stendel wants it that way but again just a bit odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyniestemper Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 If anyone happens to be hanging around Riccarton today could you give us a wee update on who is there/how it's looking? I've also noticed the complete lack of any official Hearts social media content (other than the usual about ticket sales, merchandise etc.) and also a complete lack of posts by our players on Instagram. I wonder if it's been a deliberate move from Stendel for them all to stay focussed on the job in hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a lot of talk out of the playing side at Hearts for a long time. Lots of excuses, lots of jam tomorrow and a whole load of contradictory "we know its not good enough and we need to do our talking on the park". All just been words really. Managers and players need to do the press confs (pressers!!!) and need to answer the questions asked so not a lot can be done about that but a silent message of "we're working hard, no time to chat" is kind of right for the club at present.

Yup - agreed. It's exactly the right approach at the moment and I am behind it. It feels as if he has them all focussed and working hard to start to turn things around (hopefully). I can imagine a few of them won't be happy with it but even that helps him decide who is worth investing his time and energy in and who isn't.

The Treasurer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just been speaking to someone close to a member of the coaching staff (no names so don't ask). They said the training is completely different in terms of the amount of work the players are being put through. They said there has been a noticeable difference in the general fitness levels already. All sounded very positive and players were enjoying it, even though they were having to work twice as hard as previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I can’t be the only one that thinks the team has looked desperately unfit since Neilson left. I know that some of the players seem to have been able to pick and choose when they train and where they train and I hope that Stendel has put an end to that. Hope to see the team become fitter and stronger throughout the second half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Berra doyle wighton or mulraney I think Brandon was there but didn't last long before he went off. Mulraney was watching from the sidelines. I checked on the younger ones playing on the astro, but it appeared to be all youngsters from a quick look of maybe 20 seconds. Surprisingly Connor Smith was with the youngsters having returned from loan, while Chris Hamilton was with the first team. It was probably just to balance the numbers in the first team session though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers was the latest to take action to prevent people observing them in the build up to games. This came on the back of leaks from Academy support staff. If Hearts want to take things up a level - preventing scouts etc from examining our squad in training is sadly necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a positive way Souttar looked decent on the ball, but he did get caught in possession in the lead up to a goal. Irving at least tried to make some passes. Other observations Walker showed some energy for a change. Naismith scored one that should have been chalked off, head onto arm and into the net. As I said earlier it was played at a high tempo, so players didn't get much time on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
