I thought he had a poor game, too but I see he’s being praised for, “sticking to his task,” elsewhere. Just as well that Aarons is not very good at football. He could probably run a 100m in ten flat but, like most speed machines he has little technical ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all very well sticking to your task, but we were lucky the game wasn't over after half an hour as he was continually getting skinned. We don't have time for pretty football in the games remaining and can't carry passengers. Our defense needs to be as strong as it can be.

The defence as a whole looked shaky a few times but, crucially if we are to have any chance at staying up, did not crumble completely. Motherwell had a spell at the end of the first half where they looked dangerous but were well contained in the 2nd. To take a positive from yesterday, we gifted the opposition only one goal. That is actual progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Wanshot. Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 was watching the Well goal on TV, when Halket received the pass, the supporters applauded. as we thought it was the start of a attack, there wasn't any defenders behind him, he had all day to make the pass. but ended up hitting it against there forward, you know what happened then.

It looked like he was easily going to get there and changed his mind. He is the last line of defence and yesterday didn't do his job. Before anyone starts having a go at me, please tell me the last time you saw a goalie head the ball out of his own box! Unfortunately he is still the best goalie we have! I thought he headed it just outside the box. that's why he headed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozi Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 So angle on Sportscene was rubbish but I stand by my initial feeling that Bobby made the right call, he was never going to get to the ball ahead of the forward, did his best to hold him up and Halkett could have done better with the shot. Quite what Halkett was playing at with the charge down is anyone's guess, particularly as Clare was free on the right. As for the Bobby header, looks shocking on tv but that ball was holding up all afternoon, the way the wind was swirling was catching everyone out and I think he thought it was holding up short. Yurghhhhh that's twice I defended Bobby in one post, I am away to have a shower now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scallywag Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halket made a mistake, it wasnt the worst defensive error recently but Motherwelll did well to punish him. Dont think Bobby could have done much more, he forced him wide and Halket was unlucky no to block the shot. Hearts should have won, but we shouldnt be too worried by the result. We are a much improved side going into the final run of games, I have faith we can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodLord Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Halkett was immense on Tuesday night and he has been on several occasions also I think our top goal scorer. Now being talked up for Scotland set up. Some of the utter crud being spouted on here is pure cringe. He will continue to improve and will be a fantastic signing.

1971fozzy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Halkett made a mistake, but Long did very well to put it away. I don’t think Bobby could do anything about it. Halkett has been immense last few games so I’m hesitant to criticise. on another issue, no way was that a penalty for Well. I didn’t think so at the game and no chance watching it on sportscene.

I appreciate that Halkett has played well recently but its yet another occasion where one of our CBs has gifted a goal to the opposition under little to no pressure.

Captain Canada Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It was totally Halkett's fault. First for the panicked attempted clearance and then again for his body position in letting the ball go through his legs. I know he was running back but he could have turned to face the striker and made himself a bigger obstacle than he did. I thought Bobby did all he could in forcing the guy out wide a bit.

micole Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Just watched the highlights, jings I thought their goal was bad at the time but feck me what was Halkett doing!! far to lax and Bobby to a lesser extent, if you are going to come out then do so, do not hesitate as it gives the attacker time. Still it was all Halketts doing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 No Zlamal fan, but thought retreating was the right thing to do, made it reasonably difficult for the guy, Halkett almost got back into a position to clear his awful error, no one elses.
