MasterofDisaster Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Boyce plays like he has nothing to prove, Wighton plays like he’s got everything to prove. End of the day neither are convincing but effort goes a long way and Boyce doesn’t seem to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first penalty he thought he had nothing better to do than kick it toward goal to score. I don’t know where he is mentally but it’s not where it should be. I’m actually cutting the guy a bit slack. If his attitude isn’t rotten then he’s basically just pish. It’s a poor show when Craig Wighton looks the better option.

jambogemz Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Can't believe how shite the guy is. Thought we'd signed a striker worthy of the Jersey for a change but it's easy to see how we managed to get him fairly comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t look confident but to say his attitude is rotten is wrong IMO. He constantly shows for the ball drops back and try’s to link play. I wish he would stay more central but our lack of width means the supply to him is awful. He has missed some sitters and also been unlucky at times. Thankfully he buried the pen at hamden!

His quality shows in every part of his game apart from in front of goal just now. His hold up play is great and he links players in well. Got a great assist tonight and the one good bit of service he did get he won a penalty from. Even turned a cross from deep onto him 16 yards out into a close chance. People may think Wighton is a better option for his scoring form at the moment but Boyce is better in every aspect of his game. Worth persisting with.

boag1874 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Boyce is an excellent striker who’s off the boil and probably absolutely knackered from playing 5 games in 2 weeks. Drop him on Saturday and let Wighton have a run. He’s absolutely not crap though, that just isn’t true, he just isn’t scoring at the moment and it’s clearly a monkey on his back he needs to shake. Have to laugh at the “lazy” “uninterested” cliches coming out though. Every time a player goes out of form it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 At the risk of JKB bingo "there's a player in there" Scored goals regularly in the past at a higher level than this but can't deny he's been largely disappointing for us so far. The two penalties tonight were both comically bad and he needs a spell on the bench. Never ever thought I'd say this... But if we must have 1 up top it should be Wighton 😂😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5jambo1 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If you can’t see that he’s good a football player then...... it’s his movement, his touch, his ability to hold the ball up, his finishing (usually). when he’s on form he is a very good football player he is going through a bad spell just now for us, maybe he does need a rest/dropped for a game but I’m confident he will come good, need to back him not slate him. He also brings so much more to the team than goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People may think Wighton is a better option for his scoring form at the moment but Boyce is better in every aspect of his game. Worth persisting with. Spot on. 👍 For some reason, Hearts strikers with a good CV elsewhere struggle to score goals here (apart from Lafferty). But Boyce certainly doesn't hide - he's still contributing plenty to the team by his running & presence, just not the goals we'd hoped for. Tonight was frustrating, mainly because we seldom have any urgency/desire to drive forward when the opportunity arises - too much knocking the ball sideways etc. Is that Robbie's game plan when we play teams at the bottom of the league ? Or are our players lacking the confidence to go forward in case they lose the ball ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky if he’s had a dozen crosses in his Hearts career to attack, which is where most of his Ross County goals came from. Our wingers, for years cut inside instead of hitting the byline and crossing the ball. As someone says above our problem is STILL a lack of pace and width without Ginelly.
