Hardly plays them, then thinks it's a great idea to play Smith for 90 mins and Boyce for 60 mins on Sunday and then start them both when he knows they've got an important league match 48 hours later.

hearts00 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As long as Boyce not out for long I’m fairly relaxed. Wighton has done enough to suggest he’ll be fine up front. Naismith, Walker and Ginelly all fit by the sounds of things. Would like to see Smith play though as we have no cover for either FB positions.

Bazzas right boot Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As long as Boyce isn't out for too long it's OK, Wighton and Naismith are good to go. Seen he scored tonight, which is great. Folk asking for a 4th striker as cover are barking. One of our tougher games so a bit shitty having the 2 of them played 48 hours before our game and Tbh we should have said to the BBC they can show it but it can't move to the Friday. Sat or Sunday only due to the internationals. Says more about the influence of TV over the fixtures than anything else imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The player that came on for Smith - Ethan Galbraith - is a promising young Man Utd midfield player with one previous NI cap but yet to play in the league for Man Utd. Given all the circumstances, it’s ridiculous that the change wasn’t made around sixty minutes or sooner to given more game time to the young lad and also a better chance that MS is fit for us on Friday.

In Scotland? Hearts? That’ll be the day we get help from our third rate association running our excuse for a level playing field.

We are definitely light up front and that was clear at the start of the season. Any injury to Boyce would give us a problem, and now we have to deal with this.

He's basically been a number 10 for Hearts when he isn't injured. So really folk were wanting a 3rd striker on top of Boyce and an unproven Wighton, bearing in mind we binned Uche and Washington.

Naismith and Wighton do not provide what Boyce does How, many teams carry 3 strikers, 3 decent strikers for 1 position? What quality is this 3rd or 4th choice striker going to be? Celtic and rangers don't carry more than 3 strikers, in fact I don't think teams like arsenal, spurs, man Utd do. I'd like another striker, but if between Boyce, Naismith and Wighton we can't manage we have problems, pretty sure Roberts is a utility striker as well.

Wighton is proven at this level. Naismith has been a 10 but that is so we could accommodate Boyce and play 1 up top. If Boyce is injured Naismith can play up front as we can't play Boyce. We'll still have Wighton and Roberts. I can't think of a team that carries 4 senior strikers for one position. I'd question the quality of any striker that is 3rd or 4th choice for us as well, would they add anything? Ideally I think we'd have a youth as 4th choice back up. We might get a striker, but I won't be pissing my pants if we don't. 3 senior strikers for 1 position is enough for us.
