He was terrible in front of goal tonight but his goal v ICT shows what he is capable of given service from the wings. He does seem to be one of those strikers who needs a few chances to put one away. No striker should miss two pens though. He is either physically or mentally not right just now. Coming too deep for the ball and with Walker and Naismith doing the same we just don’t stretch the game Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should have came off for Wighton, that's how bad he is. Hearts just don't have a decent striker. That’s the problem - we do have a decent striker. Boyce is a decent striker We just turn any striker with an ounce of ability to shite or injure them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigAlim Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Good footballer, definitely cares, very clever with his movement and passing and drags defenders about Despite all of that I think he needs dropped this weekend, think he's heaping pressure on himself and Wighton deserves his chance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pressure off the pens will also help. I'm not sure travelling the few miles to Northern Ireland, a hop on a plane to Austria and back then a jaunt across the Irish Sea back to Scotland is an excuse. Championship players in England play 5 games in 2 weeks with hours of coach travel to and from games. I'm not having travel or a few games early in his season as a reasonable excuse for his half arsed performances Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He also brings so much more to the team than goals I wonder if that is how Neilson sees it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He actually does play the lone striker role very well. I wouldn’t be surprised if he scores a hat trick or something over the next few games. I strongly believe he is just going through a poor run of form for us just now. Against Dunfermline, it was the worst I’ve seen him, just nothing came off for him. Tonight he was ok but defo lacking a bit of confidence. He will come good and prove all the doubter wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pasquale for King Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 He was poor tonight and looked tired, have to say though there was only one chance created for him because the standard of crossing was abysmal. Michael Smith is an extremely consistent player with bags of energy but using him as our main attacker just won’t work. Kingsley is a better crosser but is playing within himself and doesn’t venture forward enough, coming back from injury. Boyce should be rested on Saturday imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cruyff Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Probably does need dropped for the return fixture on Saturday. A kick up the arse and a chance to reset might be good for him. I'd still give him 30 minutes off the bench and a start v Morton. We need him to find some form in front of goal before we play Celtic because we will need our strongest XI on the park and Boyce at his best is without doubt our best striker.

He has missed a golden chance in every one of the games this season...every one thats not the teams fault. Upto now his penalties have masked poor performances for some.

Said in the run up to tonight’s match that the full backs need to be more involved in the last third...low and behold Smith pops up with a goal!😁 I agree Kingsley needs to do more. He was part of my whinge of course. Late on and when the game was more comfy, he started running in behind and helping Whyte. It needs to happen earlier in games though. As for Boyce, late on summed up the rut he’s in, the clouded mind he’s suffering. He wasn’t ready and was on his heels as a neat ball through from Naisy(I think?)wasn’t read by him. You just look at those scenarios and start thinking back to some of our better strikers from past times who’d be looking for that to happen and pounce on it. It’s a thing that irks me about our players sometimes. All over the park we don’t anticipate or think a ball may come to our player(s). Once the ball leaves the area of the pitch they are in, they stop. We don’t think it could come back in an instant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
