It is always lurking there in the background. He was really found out tonight at right back. Completely agree - thought that from the start. Championship player and we need to improve CB's for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 goals were well worked. Haring, Berra , Halliday more minutes. Gordon never made 1 save. Negatives 2nd half was flat Boyce missing a pk, his head is minced, plenty good work and good positions but his finishing has left him. Jonstone looks overall poor, the basics defeat him far too often and he looks lost of the ball. Smith went of with a niggle..... Who’s Jonstone?

Other than the retaken penalty I can’t remember their keeper having a save to make. Some of our players seem to be missing a spark, Walker in particular seems to want to play within himself and Boyce and Naismith’s form is a concern. Naismith was MOTM IMO. A quality footballer.

Jodami Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I know it's controversial but I would persist with Boyce, I suspect he is one of those strikers who is streaky and he will score and kick on. Naismith and Walker in the same team just doesn't work though and on current form Naismith shouldn't actually be playing anywhere. I would play Wighton and some of our youngsters on Saturday, fringe players deserve to be given the chance to put real pressure on underperforming first team regulars. Delightful to see Haring get the 90 though and it was great to see him get involved in a hard challenge second half and not look fazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelly Terraces Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 6 minutes ago, Gambo said: A wins a win but a really disappointing 2nd half from Hearts. They need to be told that the 2nd half performance was lazy and unacceptable. Same old loser mentality that's afflicted us for years but has been amplified in the Budge era. 3-0 up at half time v part time shite - the old firm go on to get 5 or 6 with no letup. Hearts - well thats enough, let's just take the 2nd half off. Sort of thing that separates the good sides for the pish ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the patter over the last couple of years - players being intimidated by terrible fans. You'd think being 3-0 up would take the pressure off and the guys would get a bit of a confidence boost to keep going but all we get is the same 2nd half as last week. No doubt we'll grind out the wins required but this team is pretty dire (not saying there wasn't some good individual performances tonight). If the usual suspects are happy watching this guff - good for them. But no way will this lot be good enough to keep us in the top league. Some truly mediocre players on show tonight.
