losing games will happen, however its the manner of the defeat that hurts, we have been woeful for most of the season dundee, hibs obvious exception. pundits say we have the best squad but that means nothing unless we play as a team, robbie seemed to throw players on and change the shape, more in hope to be honest.dunfermlines work rate was terrific,we had not one player capable of playing a pass that caused them problems, unlucky with deflected goal and we hit the bar twice,against that they had good chances as well. could someone tell me why naismith chose to pass ( or try to pass ) to a player in a worse position.dont even want to think about boyce and his customery miss. never mind we are hearts supporters and hate a moan to ourselves.. HHGH.

Losing games was always going to happen. But last time around it was February before we lost our first game. And we'd played Hibs and Rangers twice in that time - both playing with premiership squads. 

 

Our decision to not bring in an extra striker looks like it's going to come back to hurt us. Boyce actually has an OK record (1 in 3) since joining, but with two penalties and a heavy deflection making up the majority of his goals. We need him to score chances like the one he got last night, the 1 on 1 with Marciano, the one where he won his penalty Vs Dundee.

 

We knew a real concern going into this season was our lack of pace and decent wingers. We signed 3, which seemed reasonable, but Roberts has been dreadful (and played central more than wide), Frear has been even worse. Ginnelly has looks good so far, and beyond that Aidy White has been our best winger. Aidy fecking White. For the record, I'd play White and Moore ahead of Frear and Roberts. The truth is we lost Ginnelly and haven't been the same since - Hibs game aside.

 

I think Haliday will come good, I think Lee has a place, and I think Popescu will be fine for this year, maybe more if he settles down. But we're looking at another rebuild in the summer. 7/8 players required, more if contracts aren't extended.

The relevance is that it was RN's decision to bring him back when it looked for al the world that he would have moved back to England for this season.

 

Robbie didn't decide to bring him back, his loan spell had expired long before Neilson took over.

Do you know if he had other offers down south? I suspect not. We didn’t bring him back, he came back after his loan expired to see out the remaining year of his contract with us. If Neilson had the opportunity to let Lee go and bring in another midfielder I’m pretty sure he would have.

Robbie is not the messiah but he is a better bet to get us out of this league than the 3 managers before him!

We do not have the fabulous squad that some on here think we have - this is going to be a tough league where we are going to have to scrap for every win! Talk of walking it needs to end now.

Agreed, we have only a few players who would be regular starters for clubs in the top league this season.

Most don't even wait till final whistle before they post their anti Neilson garbage. Presume mixture of folk who hate Mrs B for dragging club into 21st century and stopping their party songs (the phoodle and plane brigade) and those who can't handle losing to Hibs in cup few years back, despite us beating them in semi. 

You are right though, it is sad, almost pathetically sad, to see people unable to move on and support the club. 

Top post! It's pathetic but thankfully KB is NOT a true reflection of Hearts fans views. It is a social media outlet open to abuse from opposing fans (and there are plenty of H1b5 fans on this thread and most others) and Hearts fans with other agendas!!! One defeat this season, a cup final to look forward to, after beating our closest rivals (again) and the club doing it's best under extremely challenging circumstances. Last nights performance was poor but we will improve.

It seems to me that the start to the season has been very disruptive.He has had to plan for LC ties where we have made 7 or 8 changes to the normal set up. We have had to factor in a must win SC tie against Hibs when we were way short of preparation compared to them.We have had 3 players away on international duty for 10 days before a top of the table clash away from home with the players only returning 24 hours before KO.I don't think any other team in the Championship has had that to contend with.We are still trying to bed players in and I am pretty sure Robbie will suss out who is up to it over the next 3 to 4 games.Come Tuesday night we will be one point off the top.It reminds me of the years we have made a great start to the league only to look over our shoulder and the OF are only 2 or 3 points behind.

This squad will win the league fairly comfortably in the end but it might be January before we break clear as Dunfermline might hang on to us for a while.If we need another striker come January I am sure the funds will be found.

My main concern was that the league wouldn't be completed but with the news about the vaccine I feel a lot more relaxed now.

100% confident we will win the league if it is played to a finish.

You're right.  I don't know.  Just what I had been reading and if it was the Sun, it must be true😀

Yeah at times we weren't good but games at home against Aberdeen, etc were great to watch the only games in my opinion we weren't great were hibs at home and stmirren away and if you analysis they game we we're the better team in them and created more chances than both teams in those games. 

 

Stendel needed time I'll put this on record now while Gerrard is at rangers, and if we get promoted and go back up we won't get anywhere near them. 

 

Stendel needed time and could've convinced players to come to us, the calibre such as mowatt, sibbick etc. 

 

Which would of taken us to being recognised as best of the rest outwith, the old firm and more than capable of mounting a serious title challenge against them. 

 

Mowatt didn't sign a new deal with Barnsley they activated 1 year optional contract clause, I'm told Stendel had talks with him and his agent to get him here on a pre contract, before covid came about. 

 

Mowatt wanted a chance to play European football and hopefully, give himself a chance of getting into the National team. 

 

 

 

 

No offence but that's just pure fantasia. There's no evidence to suggest Stendel would've turned it around. I agree he was dealt a bad hand but it took ages for him to decide that Pereira wasn't good enough and it cost us dearly. Fwiw l liked Stendel but just believe he was at Hearts at the wrong time.

 

lts time to move on from him and back and support Robbie. Statistically he's won 8 out of 9 games whilst the performances haven't been great which caught up with us yesterday. Let's see how this team reacts in the next game before writing them off (not aimed at you specifically). I'm hoping we get a reaction like last time when we were in the Championship and lost points to Falkirk we then went on to skoosh this league.

Correct, well done. Five I mentioned plus Robert’s as sub. I was just correcting the other posters comments re 7 starters last night. Not sure I see the relevance of your Lee comment though, must be missing something. 

Yeah I try not to engage with that poster. He said RN signed Lee which of course he didn’t, Lee did have options down South but we may have had to pay him to go.

Just thinking about our squad and how Neilson mentioned the formation would be 4231 in September I think. Now he must’ve recruited with that formation in mind, I’m not sure that without Ginnelly we have the players to play that system, which is a mistake one way or the other to say that before you finish signings or not gauging what we have. 
Does anyone actually know our best team and what formation to use 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️🙈?

I would’ve liked Stendel to stay but I just don’t think we could get rid of enough of the squad to get his type of players in. Results and performances like tonight got the last three managers the sack, Neilson will need to work out soon who he can rely on and try to ship the others out, which won’t be easy. 

At least Neilson isn't handing out 4 year deals!. That's something. What was it, 2 years for Roberts and one year for Frear ? Ginelly is on loan for the season with an option to make permanent. That's the only one I would keep on and out of the 3 in all honesty. Frear is one that I just cant see making it with us at all. The Central areas - Too much chopping and changing for my liking. We really need to settle a bit on positions and players for this area. 

Hopefully it's just a bad day at the office. Everyone of us would accept a defeat but the seethe is there is spades and because a lot of the players never broke sweat. That type of attitude just fuels the fire and you can accept that. 

Better getting it out our system now rather than later.

If we lose at home to Alloa then you MAY start to worry?  If we lose at home to Alloa then alarm bells should be ringing loudly throughout the Hearts nation.

Thankfully only a year, it’s the after a long trial but that’s a bit worrying with Frear, a 30 year old who looks like a lost wee boy. 
Roberts looked good against Dundee but hardly ever any other time. I said he will be a boo boys target as soon as fans get back after seeing him constantly turn back or lose the ball. 
Can only hope it’s a poor one off game, but the performances haven’t been great apart from that Dundee game.

That poster would prefer not to engage with you but chooses to to do so if only to challenge some of the biased drivel you spout.

You have said it is easy to get rid of players and Lee is still here.  That strongly suggests RN rates him.

You can't have it both ways!

It is so predictable.

 

Exactly the same with Levein within one game. Regardless of how that worked out, some people on here soil themselves at the first bad result, and thereafter are after the manager's head.

 

Lets see how we react with our next game.  Hopefully we can get Haring and Ginelly back to see us through until January.

It isn't easy to get rid of players on lucrative contracts.  Generally unless they get a better offer elsewhere you need to pay off their contract or let them sit it out.

See the half wits are out after one defeat . 

For what it's worth Robbie can't legislate for a performance like that from Boyce , Naismith , Walker etc , they were truly horrific along work most others . 

Thats the first time we've came up against any sort of quality and we've came unstuck . A good few of these will eventually be binned after Robbie susses them out . They've already done for 3 managers . 

Its a case of trying to find the correct blend and getting promoted an exceptionally hard task given the jokers that are still hanging about the club

I'm personally delighted to have Robbie here,if anything I would chuck Halkett up front for a game with Boyce and bring Berra back in.

I agree with the sentiment here overall , but he has to take responsibility for Friday. Naismith wants to play 10, Boyce is always dropping to play 10, we play Wighton - who shouldn’t be anywhere but up front on the right wing!! Why - it doesn’t work that has been proven time and time again. We play Frear sorry- I’d be raging if I was Lewis Moore or Euan Henderson.. NEITHER are works beaters.. both are better than Frear
 

result, no width, no pace and Boyce and Naismith getting in each other’s way or trying to play intricate little passes 40 yards from goal..

It isn't easy to get rid of players on ANY comtract.  Several factors come into play like

- is there an offer(s) on the table from elsewhere?

- is that offer better or at least acceptable?

- do I want to move down a division (possibly)?

- to what extent are my family circumstances affected?

there will be many more considerations

Mistakes were definitely made, much as you point out, I'm not denying that but the attempts on this thread to crucify him are beyond ridiculous.

 

I think the bigger problem was the tempo and attempt to play too many passes as I posted the other day.  Taking three passes to get the ball out to the wide player is beyond ridicoulous as that player will be covered by two players by the time the ball eventually gets there.

 

The other big concern is our inability to defend set pieces.  It cost us last season and looks just as weak this season.  Halkett just isn't good enough defensively.

Agreed. I have to say I was surprised as Robbie has been very clear that he wanted to play with width and pace, yet sent a team out which would do the exact opposite. Have to say I was massively disappointed..

 

I still believe Robbie is the right man and I still hope he does a Derek Mcinnes for us and stays for a long time

Width works only if you take on a defender and more importantly beat them. All I saw was a back pass. Frear and Wighton ain't good enough.

I suspect they didn’t follow instructions first half Friday hence the positional changes at ht and then the very quick substitution second half.

I and many others have been saying this for quite a few years now.

I honestly can't understand why we havent brought in that type of player.

Other teams manage to get them, so it's not as if they're not out there.

This is My Story Podcast

We had our pal, the Dunfermline fan on the podcast before the season started. He said that having watched Neilson’s United side and us not having Shankland, he could see us struggling to deal with the championship due to the boring way Neilson sets up and style of play. We slagged him and laughed him off the pod. We had him on this week pre match and he said that he’d watched our games and thought we looked bang average and that he felt Dunfermline would be a massive threat from set plays and would be more energetic in the middle of the park than us. We slagged him and laughed him off the podcast. He called it months ago.

 

I like Robbie, he has seemed different this time round from the first time so hopefully we see a big reaction on Tuesday. We aren’t calling for his head, just want to see a reaction to a obvious disappointment. The league we are playing in is gang and it’s not unachievable for a club our size to go the campaign from now undefeated. We didn’t lose till the 25th of January the last

time we played in the Vida League, the Vida League that included Rangers, Hibs and a good Falkirk. 20 games without defeat. We’ve played 4 league games and lost our first real test in the league, that’s simply not good enough for Hearts and I don’t care if anyone thinks that opinion is wrong. We’ve been back longer than all the other clubs and should have the edge to beat every side in this league home and away. Hopefully the players have had a bollocking and we see a much improved side on Tuesday.

Absolute nonsense. We saw off Hibs, destroyed Dundee and yes we had bad night on Friday but to compare that with five years ago is fanciful.

My point about the championship being harder 5 years ago is fact, it’s as simple as that. Rangers, Hibs and a good Falkirk side that ran Hibs and Rangers close. Friday was a bad night and you are correct that we saw off hibs but we haven’t been convincing since Dundee and performances haven’t been to a standard that I think even Robbie would agree with. Not sure what’s nonsense about it.

6 pages after one defeat and 9 victories :rofl:

It might look over the top but you must understand that we are playing badly. Our passing is not good enough, we’re not making enough chances, our defence tends to panic at times, the build up from keeper to attack is slow and can’t handle a team that uses the press I could go on but I can see many things, in our present team that, that are either not happening or not working.

I've not seen every game this season, but what I have seen is one inspiring display against dundee, and two inspiring results against Dundee and hibs .  On friday we were out fought which is unacceptable. As for the tactics?

Exactly.

 

Those calling for his head should be careful what they wish for after the shitshow that happened after he left.

 

Agreed but I will have to revise my expectation levels following his post match comments that the undefeated run had to come to an end sometime. Apart from the semi final I was looking for us to take care of Cowdebeath,East Fife, Raith Arbroath et al . Don,t think it was unreasonable to have anticipated a pro-longed run but in hindsight recent form indicated we were due for a fall.

Bazzas right boot

This has the potential to outlast the CL mega thread. 

 

3/4 years until folk finally say- " see I told you he was shite, I knew from the start 4 years ago he was the wrong appointment".

Saying it now: Robbie was the wrong man for this job. Too concerned at wanting to be cultured when we need a more straight-forward man who know how to get the most out of players. 
 

I would cut our losses now.

Said it before many times and I’ll say it again.

 

The problem is Budge. For as long as she’s around, we’ll be weak as pish.

 

No amount of orchestras will change that.
