jamboinglasgow Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thought Cochrane did fine yesterday, its his first competitive game in 2020. Fantastic pass in the first half. Given more game time he will grow and Robbie not wanting to send him out on loan speaks that Robbie wants him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartofmidlothian Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 He doesn't need to be the world-beater we thought he might be after that Celtic game, but I reckon if he can stay injury-free he needs to be in the position Irving is now by the end of the season. Maybe not a guaranteed pick, but a reliable starter when called upon who we know has the occasional goal in him. If he can get to that stage by next summer, hopefully he can kick on from there.

Cochrane played one superb pass but couldn't complete a simple 5 yard pass. I can't see him being kept on past the end of this season. Jamie Brandon gave the ball away that many times I lost count. His throw ins were infuriating must have lost possession from them five or six times. Whoever decided to offer Jamie a deal clearly made a mistake. They may both improve over the season but I feel after last nights showing chances in the team will be limited. You can say that after just one showing this season?

No, I'm saying that after numerous times seeing him over the past couple years, I personally don't think he has improved all that much. I did notice he appears to have bulked up a bit. I think if Hearts win the league this season he will be replaced for the return to the top league. 1 goal and 2 assists in 30 appearances for Hearts is not a great stat for a midfielder and needs to be improved on.

Tazio Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I think ultimately his lack of pace will always count against him. He needs games to get smart and learn how to play around that weakness, it’s a catch 22 for him. He won’t get picked because he’s not got the pace but won’t learn to play around that without getting picked. This season is one that we need every player giving 100% in every game and don’t have the luxury of bedding players in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s a lot further along the road of working out how to play around the lack of pace. All in my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irving's just a better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass you mention was just overdone. Great foresight for a 19 yo. Yeah, if anything it was a pass played to space where he anticipated Wighton to run onto. Decent vision to spot the chance imo.

boag1874 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I think some of you forget how young he is because his debut season was 3 years ago when he was 16. Still a good couple years to develop yet, he’s got bags of talent he just needs time to develop further. This season is ideal for the younger lads to get more experience in what should be a very strong championship side, have some patience with them.

Doc Rob Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 We do have to remember how young he was when he broke into the first team. If Cochrane were just breaking through right now, our expectations of him would be much reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubs Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) I watched Harry closely after the Scott Brown incident and got the feeling he was trying to show he was a bit of a hard man and forgot about his role in the team. Got loads of talent so long as it’s focused in the right direction. Certainly not too late for this kid.
