Gav M Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I noticed in the article after the Raith game Robbie commented on Ross Stewart as coming in as the #2 goal keeper, 1st time I've seen any mention of keeper ranks below Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of stuff that was making me think he might be worth giving a 2nd chance. Dunno though. Just something about him that I don't like. I hate how he was openly talking about wanting to leave and stuff and about being above us, when he was so utterly pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lazy accusation really. There has to be more to it with Damour. As others have said the Championship is a very competitive league and Warnock is a very competitive manager. It could be the curse of the long contract when he arrived here. He maybe got too comfy too soon and thought he would stroll it up here, like many much, much better players have especially with the OF.

From the article it sounds like he'll be training with Montrose one night a week, but training with us for the rest of the time. If it helps him get a full season of games under his belt then fair enough, that's what's important for him to show what he can do. I just can't see how sending someone to Montrose over the winter, or in fact ever, is ever going to help them gain confidence or improve their mental state, and not just in football!

Tbh given how outside the top division Covid testing doesn’t seem necessary I’m struggling to get my head around the logic of that. It’s one thing playing these teams in one off games it’s another letting a player constantly go between the two.

Brighton Jambo Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Sorry to say but I think that’s the last we see of Harry. He simply isn’t as good as we hoped he would be. He just hasn’t kicked on. Look at Hickey, touted for Bayern and now at Bologna. Bigger clubs know talent when they see it and the fact Harry has had loans spells at Dunfermline, where he didn’t excel, and now Montrose Says it all.

The fact he is being offered a new deal suggests Robbie doesn't agree with you and the other posters who are suggesting this. The kid is 19. Most players don't really break into the first team until their 20s, he just so happens to have had a few great games at 16/17 which hugely increased the supporters expectations. In my view he still has every chance, but he absolutely needs to go out and play football right now. Sensible move for all parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is up to him. He has to develop himself now. Hearts have looked after him and given him every chance. However the best footballers have desire and are focused on being the best. I think he has lost his way. You only have to look at Aaron Hickey in comparison. Unfortunately Harry hasn’t matured and moved to that level. A goal against Celtic and a great cross from a free kick against Hibs looks like being the pinnacle of his career the way he’s heading.

Bluesy1874 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I got called a few select words previously for suggesting Harry would not feature again after the cup game and wouldn't make it beyond the season at Hearts. I stand by that Harry has made 31 appearances for Hearts scored once and created two. For a midfield player those stats are very poor. He doesn't effect the game enough.
