Prospect of another one or two coming plus the promising signs from youngsters like Moore and Henderson. Based on what Barnsley supporters have said, Stendel will give young players a chance but I expect he'll rely on experience to get us well and truly out of our current predicament. That line-up would be supported by a very strong bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 If we play that team on Sunday we would get ripped to pieces. That midfield is weak, against better teams I don't see us playing 4 attacking players. Washington also still has a massive amount to prove, he didn't really threaten against a really poor team on Saturday. With so many question marks surrounding Haring I still feel we need a central midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me started on the keeper. 4 players short, 3 actually Smith is still a pretty decent international full back, don't believe me, Michael O Neill will vouch for him though. Decent keeper, Haring back and someone who can pull the strings, laughing. Irving, love him, but I don't see him being consistent just yet.

I expect the vast majority of the 16,000 or so who will be at Tynecasle on Sunday will be optimistic and excited about our prospects. They will expect a wholehearted effort and that's what they will get. And we might just win. Done it plenty of times in the past when they've been favourites.

It's like being on the edge of a cliff. Make some progress and we get some margin for error. Thankfully players and managers tend to exist one game at a time. They probably aren't as stressed as the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
