Bauld Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 So far there hasn't been a single departure that we can say is a strange decision. Everyone being told to leave has either given us nothing or has nothing left to give us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I'm hoping that, given our new assistant manager's background, we might see an improvement in the standard of goalkeeping. Whether it's a new keeper or the current ones being coached properly. I assume Gallacher will be next to go bleating to the press, sorry I meant, be told he can leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster20 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 One of the more baffling signings of the past few years. Literally just took up wage space and never looked capable of contributing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kila Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think he only got a contract extension on compassionate grounds anyway because of what he deals with on a daily basis with his family. But that's no good for Hearts and he wasn't good enough to compete for a spot. Sorry Colin but football is harsh and I hope you can secure something going forward.

jack D and coke Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Possibly the poorest keeper I’ve seen in my time watching Hearts. The blunder at Motherwell is always on the cards with him I feel. Another Levein special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Very poor GK and glad to see the back of him, although that save from Whittaker down low in the bottom corner was one of the best and most underrated saves I've seen in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of our relegation season, and appears we've done a full circle but now have a new stand. Our young players tried so hard back then, and fans were behind them in every game, even when we were getting a hiding. We now have only half a season to go and we're 7 points from safety.

He’s absolutely murder but he can at least pull off a save now and again. Joel just doesn’t make any...Feels like almost anything just almost always ends up in the back of the net. The first goal at Hamilton was really strange in the position he ended up in after the attempted dive. He just doesn’t look like a keeper to me and just wont do. As desperate as finding someone who can get us some goals are the dumplings at the other end. Levein and co really want their arses booted for leaving us with this shower.

Bazzas right boot Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Not fussed about this but I thought we'd have kept Doyle as number 2 which he is happy to do and got rid of the the other 2 and brought in a number 1. None of our keepers are good enough atm for No1 but Doyle did seem the perfect back up keeper.

Pereira dives before the ball has even been hit and seems to collapse to the floor every single time. He never gets a solid hand on anything, every shot bends his hands backwards like they are made of jelly. Forever palming balls into the net. Genuinely one of the only keepers I've ever seen that cannot make a save. How he is on the books at Man Utd and has been for so long blows my mind!

No I’m not Henry was in goal when I first started going. Nelson was crap but Doyle imo is the worst keeper I’ve seen play for us. Just looks like he’s going to fumble it or drop it or something. Looks really stiff for a keeper. edit: These current keepers are the 3 worst keepers I’ve seen in goal for us. All of them cost us goals every time they play.

Window has only been open for a couple of weeks and it is going great so far with all the money made available to DS. I think we should have a collective standing ovation for AB & CL for their outstanding efforts and results so far in this particular phase of HMFC development with the target being to achieve the dizzy heights as the third force in the Championship next season.

RedStarRiot Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Its going to sound harsh but a football club shouldn't be offering extensions on compassionate grounds. Shows what a joke we had become! There was surely other ways we could have supported. Anyway, he might not leave and sit it out since he's awful and unlikely to get the same money elsewhere. In fact, all these players being told they can leave might just stay and pick up a wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanks said no Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 5 minutes ago, Heartsofgold said: Too young to remember Craig Nelson then? This, was the first name that I thought of. Went to the games with my old man and his best mate who was an ex professional goalie who had played in England and Scotland. Within minutes of watching Nelson he called him out as useless. The only player he ever called wrongly was Levein and we cast it up for years afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy T Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Treated shockingly by the club, he once made a save and now we’ve unceremoniously dumped him. In his defence his one save is one more than the current number one, who has as much chance of playing for Man Utd as I do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboscanbevicius Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Good decision. Have nothing against Doyle and sounds like he’s had some tough times personally. But he’s not great and we don’t need 3 GKs in the first team squad. And we need to stop coddling the whole squad too. It’s part of the culture that’s led to our position. I Hope he gets a club and moves on for our sake and his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
