***Official Hearts v Hamilton match thread***

[Australis]

None of then seem to know what they are supposed to be doing.

A completed shambles all over the pitch without an ounce of leadership.

We didn't deserve to win that game.

Eh ? That’s utter nonsense. There’s no “deserve” about it. We fought very hard to win that game after being 0-2 down. You’re attitude needs adjusting.

You weren't watching the same game as me.

Clare has improved but it’s clear to see he is never a full back. He costs us goals. That is a FACT.

Irving, who in the last couple of mins played a hospital pass to Garuccio who then committed a foul, and then conceded a needless corner and taking any initiative we had with the equaliser away?

 

He is bang average at best.

 

 

 

That was atrocious. 

Basic stuff.

Davidaj, last kick of the ball, with a chance to cross it into the box, did the same as he did in Perth, and ballooned it into the stand. He can gtf. Imposter like most of the rest of the squad.

 

Mind the JKB football intelligentsia getting very excited about this boy when we signed him. 

 

[Kirky Jambo]

Boyce today was as poor a performance from a hearts player as I can remember. Must have been injured, but if so why did he play 90 minutes.

 

That was depressing today

**** RIGHT OFF who picked that pish. Clare , Naismith , Boyce worked their arses off and get passmarks , Washington for that cross and Walker was our best player , rest 4 at best 🤨

It's what happens when it gets drilled in to you that you have to pass it out from the back.

 

There should always be room for flexibility in how you play, and a hoof into touch when under pressure at the back should be part of that.

 

Aye i know but **** me mate , it was a hospital pass , decision making isn’t that hard. Souttar and Irving were awful at slowing it down today. Hamilton clogged but 11v10 we didn’t try to move it wide fast. Even the first came from a Naismith slideball through and a diagonal run from Walker. Anything wide was so slow to develop the risk to Hamiltons defensive core was lessened as they could get in shape wait for the ball and attack it.

Had they not had what was an extremely soft red card we would have lost that match. The players are pish, the manager hasn’t a clue how to set the team up and quite frankly we are the worst team is this league by a distance. 

So what if it was a soft red card, we clawed our way back from 0-2 down and at the end of the day we could have, should have won it.

I actually can’t stand the Hearts players right now, never miss a game but the cup game can take a back seat for me ... yellow belly *******s.

I wonder if Hamilton will also be disheartened after being 2 0 up and  then going to the 0 men and only getting the draw. Plus losing another player for their next match. 

They'll be glad to get a point, and got away with doing it with 10 men. They would've preferred to be four ahead but they could (and should've) been two points behind us. Hamilton are used to battles like this, we're not. And to go to Tynecastle and get two draws is not bad. That does not happen often.

Why was he playing then ? Let’s ask Stendel the clueless *****

[Robbo-Jambo]

Every team he picks the midfield gets overrun. 

 

No matter what combination

 

He has no plan B. 

 

He actually looks clueless standing on that touchline. 

 

He really does.

I doubt the players would give a hoot. They'll just move on to another club and forget their time at Hearts.

 

Yep, which players would actually care about Hearts getting relegated? 

 

Maybe Souttar and Naismith? That’s about it.

Hickey cut in every time and then usually lost it or passed back. He didn’t put any crosses in. Consequently we were getting nothing from the left. We only started to get some joy on the right when Smith started to put some balls in, as Clare didn’t do much in 1st half

Why “should” they be two points behind us???????

[LochcarronJambo]

I honestly felt Hearts would win today.... even with the appalling tactics the Manager adopts without fail....but no we couldn’t beat a Ten man Hamilton.... completely gutted as I know we will be lucky to stay up As we need wins & we are not getting them......

In Stendel we trust (???)

Agree he played well and agree it was Hickey who made the mistake to start with but it was a stupid challenge from Clare and he has done that several times this season resulting in goals against us. 
There is a place in the team wide ride of the midfield for him with Smith as RB behind him. 

 

[Koolkeith]

Stendel needs to realise his style of play is easily countered and get us working in our own half better. Never mind in the final third. I’m not convinced he’s the man to keep us up.

One day this 4 year nightmare will be over and we'll all be left wondering what caused it.  So much promise during and after the championship season.  With rare exceptions, nothing but disappointments since.

Really disappointing but we live to fight another day.

 

As an aside, Andy Irving and Aaron Hickey have more composure on the ball than all the others in the side put together.  We need more of the academy kids in and around the match day squad because they all have that bravery on the ball that Stendel demands of them.

They were poor today

What did he do at the end? Worse than St Johnstone game?

Tried to go for glory and not go for glory and arsed up a ball into the box. Canna blame him for the draw though.

About 3sitters got missed but you were pkaying guess if you are offside or not so that won’t have helped.

7 minutes ago, tokyowalnut said:

Can't agree with that. Hickey should have played the quick ball to Naismith,  he turned back and played to Soutar who was under pressure then he plays a poor ball to Zlamal. As usual with us, we master our own downfall.

 

I can't believe we only scored 2 today.

 

Soutar really is struggling just now. He's so slow in everything he does.

Indeed don’t disagree about Hockey but Zlamal hospital passed it , at least Pereria would have just booted it. Which is what Zlamal didn’t do and brought everything in on our box

Away with ya. You could have strolled across the pitch quicker than he was moving with the ball today. His corners and dead balls were hit and miss too

I’m no sure the method of let’s forget about the midfield and play 6 strikers works ? We have no shape and the players look lost.....my alternative is to get rid and get someone to steady the ship.

 

Its like having a madman in the dugout that’s pished and keeps bringing in strikers.

 

As I say he’s ****in clueless.

The "Chinese Checkers" moment with the whiteboard. 

That long clip of him listening to Sievers didn't look positive at all. 

 

But fundamentally this is a team with no pace,  little skill where it matters and an inability to the basics defensively. 

The opening 30 mins or so were pathetic.

That’s bollocks.  Why do so many Hearts supporters on here put the team down and are so harsh about it ? Yeah it’s a poor quality squad but they are capable of beating any of three/four teams above us. We beat The Rangers ffs so I believe we can beat St Mirren

It's really not bollocks though mate. We are bottom of the league because we haven't been capable of beating the teams above us. I agree they should be capable of it, Christ we have Naismith, Washington, Smith all playing at international level but we are without a doubt favourites to go down. That's the harsh reality of it. I admire your optimisim and a few weeks ago I was the same, but the performances and baffling decision making by the manager with no real backup plan have taken it clean out my. I am resigned to relegation, because if you can't pick up full points against a 10 man Hamilton team then we are highly unlikely to be doing the damage away from home against better organised teams. 

[Boof]

Radio folk saying that if they'd kept 11 they'd've won it easily.

 

Surely if the bloke hadn't handled there's a chance we'd've scored from such a 'clear goalscoring opportunity'?

 

And possibly kicked on from there with 70 minutes to secure an equaliser against 11.

 

And if my auntie had baws...

Thier goal was a yard offside as well, I actually thought they showed some fight, poor team yes, but could be an important point given we were two down!

Every game is a new game and an opportunity to pick up points. We were unlucky not to win today. If we had won we were off bottom spot with St Mirren next and things would have looked a lot different.  We are not relegated yet, far from it.

Agree, but every game is another game further away from safety with a team and manager that show absolutely no sign of getting out of this mess. We are sleep walking into relegation with attitude that there is still plenty time.
