Ex member of the SaS Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Not so much torn faced but maybe expecting professional players to make a pass or god forbid score ( or even have a shot ). Yes the conditions were dire but it was for both sides so I would expect premiership players to do better. Stendel still has the core of rubbish he inherited but would hope he could get them up for it a bit more. Still sure he will but right now we need every player playing at 100%. Anything less is not good enough. They expect a win bonus so why don't they think a deduction for a loss is a bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby1985 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Am all in with Stendel. I said in my post after Killie that I’d rather watch Hearts lose 3-2 but have a go than lose 1-0 having tried not to be beat. Balls to the walls football, 6 up front. Love it. I voiced my concern that Stendel wants to stick with a keeper that has directly cost us 5 points in the past 2 games. On another night, he may well have cost us a cup place as well. Other than that, am buzzing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during and after the 7-0 win at Arbroath my main feeling was what the **** are we (as in HMFC) doing here? The only exception was our last excursion to the second tier but only because there was a clear reason why we were there and we ran away with the title rather than struggle ever more desperately to escape.

Hearts players don't get a win bonus on a game for game basis. They certainly don't in the league. In fact they will only get a bonus of any kind in the league is if they finish 4th or above and it is done on a points system based on how many starts, sub appearances, inclusion on the bench. The bonus pot is then divided depending on your points score. Not sure what the deal is for cup games though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) After what we have had to sit and watch for way, way, way too long now I suspect maybe people possibly thought that when a new manager came in everything would just change from shit to brilliant almost instantly. It is going to remain a WIP for a little while but I can't think of anyone who would have changed things from day 1, such was the awful position we had been placed in. What Stendel is looking to do is so good to watch when it works, but it still needs some work. While it is possibly a style of play that could be adopted for a full 90 minutes it does need 10 outfield players on the park who are effectively able to multi task to a certain extent, and we aren't at that level yet. The opposition teams can see what we can see from the stands. When too many players all look to go forward at once, or where everything starts off much nearer the half way line than our own penalty area the style the opposition use, which incorporates hoofball, works against us at the moment. Smith made us look stronger yesterday evening, but the defending still needs to be a bit better. I say that while accepting that I feel the team will continue to worry about the man in goals, but the defence do need to be more like a traditional back 4 type of defence. Again Hickey coming back may help that, and it may then give Stendel additional options in the front 6 posiitons, including both Clare and White. They appear to have recovered their confidence and fitness respectively so he should have the option of getting them playing further forward as alternatives to anyone who is struggling. I know he doesn't have a lot of time to get things right, after the end of this month there are only a further 5 leaque games until the split. Beating both Hamilton and St Mirren this month is huge, while it is more than reasonable to assume we will still be in the bottom 6 come the split if we are in amongst those around us I would hope we can do enough, and all that needs done this season is making sure we are in the same division come the start of next season. In some instances I don't think what is being transmitted by fans is outright negativity but instead does include some reality about where we were when he started and what he is trying to do for us.

Getintaethem Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I’m 100% behind Stendel. Things had got so bad under Levein that watching my team had become a chore. Now I can’t wait for our next game. Wednesday was disappointing, but no one who left at full time could say they hadn’t been entertained. Those that left at 3-0 probably didn’t feel that way. We still have problems and face a battle until the end of the season, but I firmly believe we are heading in the right direction. We”re going to give someone a hiding in the not so distant future.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I think our fans have stuck by the team really well in recent weeks. We know this team isn't good enough but getting relegated would be a complete disaster so if we ward that off then we can focus again on next season. Plus no one is blaming Stendel for getting us into this mess. Where the quizzical looks were coming was the seeming lack of acknowledgement that mediocre teams like St Johnstone and Kilmarnock worked us out quite easily.

Rudy T Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 There’s a world of difference between an Internet forum and the real world. The backing the team are getting home and away at the moment is not a sign of a support giving up. Under Levein no danger we’d have sold out Falkirk and St Johnstone and packed out Tynecastle for a mid week against Killie. For the 35+ years following Hearts there’s always been some torn faced dick in the crowd but generally the fans get behind the team. Unlike on here where you have trolls and Hibs fans thrown in with that torn faced dick from the crowd and this gives them a platform to spout shite. Can be as negative as you want here but the games is where the support counts and I don’t think Stendel or the players can moan that they’ve not been backed. Sean Clare was getting boos not so long a go now he’s the new hero, all because he’s shown us he’s up for it, Liam Boyce, Washington and now even Jamie Walker look like they’ll run all day for the team, and while I may have a wee moan on here at the games that’s all I ask from Hearts players, give it your best leave everything out on the pitch and I and 99% of the fans will support you.
