Would you have thought the same? There are always fans who see the negative side. It's never going to change. Just ignore it. And remember that in some cases they just might end up being right. And I say that as someone who is 100% behind Stendel. I see where you are coming from but we need to back the manager, whatever his decisions. If we don't, then we don't survive - it's that simple for me. We need to hold off our negativity and when we judge at the end of the season, that is the time to criticise, if necessary. Right now, we need to give them them our complete backing. I want Premiership football next season as I can see Stendel doing something special.

Then gave the captaincy to someone who won't play. I honestly didn't think it would be this hard to understand. Stendel obviously doesn't think he won't play! It's almost as if he's seen how Naismith is in training and discussed how he feels physically. I honestly didn't think it would be this hard to understand!

I don't think that folk being negative on here is going to affect the team's chances of staying up though (unless the players read stuff that folk write about them - I hope that the club has strongly advised them against doing so). However, you're right that we need to be behind the team 100% on the pitch. The players have to know that if they go a goal behind, or have a man sent off, we will stay behind them and they have a good chance of coming back to win the game.

True. I'm starting to think that the winter break has been good for us, Stendel and the players. No pressure games to play and a chance to "re-group" and shake off some injuries and get rid of the negative influences in the dressing room. I am genuinely looking forward to the run-in now.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 If there was ever an ideal manager for Naismith then that man is Daniel Stendal. A manager and captain that have the same vision on how the game should be played. Think Naismith will play even better now. How many times do you see him press the opposition then turn around to see that all our other players have retreated into their own half. From part time player to captain. Think he'll thrive. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The Thread Title needs to be edited. Naismith has been appointed Club Captain. It makes a difference he’s not just Captain on the park. Steven Naismith has been named as Heart of Midlothian’s new club captain. Manager Daniel Stendel has picked the vastly experienced Scotland forward to be his leader, with John Souttar vice captain, and Naisy will now wear the armband as the Jambos enter into a new era. Speaking to the heartsfc.co.uk about his new role, Naisy said: “I’m delighted that the manager has decided to make me club captain. “It’s a big thing for me but the bigger thing is that results need to change and change quickly. “I’ll be proud to lead this team out and with a dressing room full of motivated players, and the tremendous backing from the fans, I’m confident we can turn this situation around and get back to winning games.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think after the last 3 years we'd have toughened up as a fan base from all the shit we get from the media. This shows otherwise.
