busby1985 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Stendel pulled Brandon start of the week and asked him where his locker was in the first team changing room. He told him he didn’t have a locker as he’d only just broke 30 games for the first team. Stendel told him that if he trains with the first team, plays with the first team then he’s in the first team and told him to get his stuff and find a locker. Whelan and Berra may well be upset at being bombed but I can tell you the young boys are buzzing with Stendel. No more one rule for one, one rule for another. Everyone on the same page, everyone judged and held to the same standard. No more listening to the old heads calling out the young boys to “step up” whilst the old heads don’t train and don’t take any responsibility for their own poor performances. Stendel has rejuvenated the young boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 30 is the magic number to get into the first team changing room, something the previous manager insisted on as kind of an incentive for the young boys. It seems like Stendel has done away with it and considers anyone playing in the first team should be in with the first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Definitely some degree of conjuncture in accounts of what goes on, but nonetheless it sounds like some have taken advantage of the gaps created by CL having two roles, and stepping away from day-to- day training each day since his heart issues. DS could make a big difference by levelling the playing field and making us more cohesive even with the squad we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you think you are making progress and your manager would rather play a half fit, old man that hasn’t kicked a ball for two seasons in your position rather than you, it gets you down.

DS98 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 That’s encouraging. Brandon has been one of the few positives recently. Still don’t think the kid will make it.

Kiwidoug Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just great Busby. Thanks for posting that. I can't wait to see how we perform over the rest of the season. I think we have every chance of doing extremely well under the new regime and really hit the ground running next season. I've really got the bit between my teeth about people posting that this or that player, particularly the younger ones, are no good. That was under the previous regime. Let's see how they all go now.

Alex Kintner Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 When he was 17 I heard Brandon described as “not the most skillfull youngster but would run through a brick wall for the team.” Would be happy with a few players like that in a Hearts jersey to complement the more creative players. Have always rated Brandon highly for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77Mackay77 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Not sure it’s that a big deal. No problem with what he has done. The 30 game thing was their to keep youngsters on their toes and hungry. Which is not a bad thing. We have all seen kids come through and make 10-20 first team appearances, think they are the man, only to end up at somewhere like Raith. Did Cochrane not get to the 30 mark and get his space in the first team dressing room and then end up on loan. Only applies to youngsters coming through the ranks but also no problem with Stendel saying nah i’ve seen enough and you are one of my first team players now. As for the youngsters being demotivated previously, that is understandable. I also think bringing all the players that are on your plans into the changing room will help the team circle the wagons for the battle ahead.
