Start him up front with Wighton and Mulraney supporting him. If other players match the focus that was clearly evident v Celtic in respect of retaining the ball and linking play, it’ll be right up Naismith’s street. For too long we lacked combination play and certain players not being big and brave enough to protect the ball, or work hard to support the man in possession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolkeith Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I think some fans would prefer to be hearing he was out for the season, so they could have a good moan. Good chance he’ll be ready to start against Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an extract from Stendel's pre match interview. “I hope Naisy can come back into the squad tomorrow,” he said. “Christophe is suspended. I hope every other player (who is not injured) can play tomorrow. We train today and then I’ll decide about Jake after training. “Jamie Brandon is not fit for tomorrow. He’ll have a scan then we’ll know more but at the moment we only know that he has a big ankle!” Edited December 20, 2019 by wavydavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC 86 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Thing is we need him back playing games consistently, if he plays well in the Hamilton game, then his fitness will improve for the next game and hopefully will get through his niggling injury problems.

Mulraney I thought looked dejected on Wednesday before his injury and seems to have lost his confidence again. He was like that when he first came to us and then showed some improvement. He is certainly our fastest player and I am sure Stendel will encourage him and hopefully get the best out of him. Brandon is out of contract at the end of the season and I hope we offer him another deal as he is a decent player to have around the squad.

I thought he had played well before his injury on Wednesday. I think Mulraney picked up some sort of strain in the first 10 mins; he started off on the front foot, but form early on he was stretching and flexing his leg. Thereafter he didn’t get involved as much. I was surprised to see him back out for the 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If either he or Naismith have even a slight doubt he won't play. The manager has already removed Jamie Walker during the week and was not chuffed that he had been getting picked while he was far from 100% fit.

I heard the following from an impeccable ITK source... "Stevie goes for a shite on his own. He's been around the game a long time and knows his own shiting routine better than anyone else and what his body can take. He generally takes a paper in with him and has a wee bash at the crossword but today he took in the Christmas Radio Times and a pen with a view to circling what to watch. Just as he was circling a Forged In Fire Champion of Champions episode he dropped his pen. He thinks he might have leaned over a bit far, thinks his balance might have been compromised by a bit of a loose bolt on the toilet seat and felt his hamstring. While he'd like to be back for Hearts he's also aware Scoland have a big game toward the end of March". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 My absolute hope with Naismith is that Levein was too relaxed with him. I hope Stendel and his enthusiasm can get Naismith off the treatment table and on the park. I have been a huge critic of Naismith and the Scotland episode but I am happy to give him a clean slate. When he plays we are such a different side. I can’t wait to see him playing with the side facing forward and moving towards the opposition goal, instead of the side to side backwards stuff we’ve been used to. Him fit and at it is the difference from us fighting relegation and fighting for 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read Michael Smith's comments in a recent newspapaper article about levels of fitness I wonder if the teams possible lack of fitness has been a contributory factor in the high number of injuries our players have had. Ok I know some of these may just happen and are unavoidable however Smith was saying that Stendel has been working them hard on improving their fitness levels partly down to the high press style he wants them to play. At this time of the season players should be at the top of their fitness levels without having to train extra hard to be at their best.

I’ve howled at the moon about the fitness in the squad for years. Every Hearts group chat I have is filled with me howling at the moon about running up and down sand dunes and it’s impact on players and their injuries etc. Hopefully with some proper coaching and some sport science we will see this improve.
