We really need a confidence booster this weekend. Hopefully put 4 or 5 in, and play some fast flowing attacking football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FJT Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Great move- Naismith is a clear leader with tonnes of experience. Souttar can benefit from the responsibility and the confidence the new manager has shown in him, plus learn from Naisy. As an aside, interesting choice of comment from Naismith about ‘a dressing room full of motivated players...’ maybe some of the negative influences around tynecastle are being moved out...

TheTrumpet Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) As always with Naismith (and Souttar) it depends on their availability as to whether they are the right choices.

All i said was the captaincy has been stripped from someone because he isn't going to get game time. Then given to someone who hasn't had any game time and probably isn't going to stay fit based on his record so far. Really can't understand the seethe. 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. You would think after 3 years of the circus that has been in play some would accept that harsh changes have to be made if we want to change where we are. That includes stripping Berra of the captaincy. I like Berra but he was fast becoming part of the problem Well done Naisy ... At least we know you won’t allow standards to drop. Right choice imo 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. One player is never going to play for us again unless he accepts his demotion and works his way back into the manager's plans. The other is our (and arguably the Scottish national team's) best player, who is very much central to our plans. We can't not do things in case a player gets injured in future. Any player could break a leg tomorrow. We have to assume Naismith will be fit if he's passed fit to play.

But eventually, I’d had enough. Given what we’re hearing, I’m delighted with the changes that seem to be in progress. I’m right behind stendel.

Feel sad in a way re Levein but past memories of him wearing the shirt, good memories, are all but gone for me and because of what has happened Finding it hard to take that he is still hanging around in the background, still taking a salary from the club given what happened. If he had walked after him being relieved of his duties I might have felt differently about him but alas he didn’t Have a real good feeling with Stendel at the helm and it’s growing by the week. The togetherness of the squad is so so important and you can see clearly that Stendel is trying to harness that siege mentality at the club by his actions. Tough decisions and he is taking them head on, no indecisiveness. He clearly knows what needs to be done and won’t accept failure. Night and f...... day to what we have been used too It’s us, Hearts, against the world, and I’m starting to feel it again and really liking it. The Media swirling around in the background trying to create issues because deep down they know we are on the cusp of changing our fortunes F... the media, opposition teams, SPL, referees ... in fact f... everything and everyone not hearts related. The revolution has started and we should all just get on board 😉 Oh and FTH ... can’t not mention our little furry rodent pests.

But that’s what happened and we can’t get bogged down by it any longer.
