Billy Hoyle Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 1 hour ago, hearts00 said: The second half against Alloa on Tuesday was alarming. Alloa were happy to sit as didn’t want to lose 6-0, and what did they find out that Hearts are hopeless if you sit in. We went through the motions in the second half on Tuesday and it caught up with us today. disgraceful stuff in 3.5 seasons of disgraceful stuff from Hearts. It really is demoralising. Spot on. Not one forward player in that Hearts team wanted to take the game by the scruff of the neck and try and win it for us. That’s really worrying at this Level. Walker and Roberts look like the didn’t care. Halliday on sprinted once today,to get off the park. Boyce and Wighton shite up front. Naismith done nothing Lee and Haring Anonymous too. It’s a massive worry and gets you angry thinking about the shite footballers that we continue to bring to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we need 4 players who are all fighting for the 'deep lying playmaker' but only one for the 'enforcer'. One, it must be said, who hadn't played for 18 months.

Spellczech Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 We've had less Value For Money from our squads over the last 5 years than Sevco - and they've won nothing except a promotion... We've not had a strong squad except on paper - whenever we need players to step in due to injury or take an opportunity, they don't do it... I said on the Alloa thread that there are only 4 players in our entire squad whom I would keep and I meant it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous 1874 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Keep Gordon, Smith, Kingsley, Haring & Irving. Rest can get to **** at this point i’m afraid. Should be instantly agreeing pre contracts for players in January. Just get it done or at least attempt to. Liam Polwarth (Motherwell), Stuart Findlay (Kilmarnock), Ross Stewart (Ross County) - 3 players in different areas of the pitch all who would massively improve us. Also the likes of Brophy, Gallagher, Tshibola and O’Donnell who may be of interest. All these players are somewhat realistic I think.

weegie jambo Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The problem here is Robbie. Budge panicked and went for the safe easy option. Thought we had a squad to breeze the championship with just a few new editions. However the same soft as s*** attitude is still prevailing. Kingsley and Gordon are successes', Halliday is good enough if he puts his mind to it and Ginnelly seems fine on what little we have seen of him. However the malaise that has been over us since Cathro still cling to the club. The fresh clean broom that Stendell brought must have scared the pants off the old school but I feel it would have been the only way to rid us of this attitude that still prevails. I was sorry to see Stendell go and thought he would have made a long term radical change that we needed but having got Robbie we just have to get on with it. Initial recruitment seemed OK but I'm pretty depressed that we're still stuck in that old safety first cycle. Unless Robbie grows a pair and starts taking a few risks and adopts a little more aggressive approach then it's going to be a long, frustrating season.

Gordon Smith Kingsley Haring Irving Are good enough the rest I could not give a toss about including Naismith Boyce Walker Berra . There is plenty of players in Scotland who are good enough to play for Hearts and provide more than this bunch of muppets offer Ross Stewart Ross County Eamonn Brophy Kilmarnock Liam Polworth Motherwell Euan Murray Dunfermline Allan Campbell Motherwell Ali McCann St J They would offer more than the lot we have at the moment and would not being paying the same amount out on wages .

Just play at a high tempo with lots of movement and any part time team should be run ragged. The problem is that we don't have the players to do this they are all far too slow and happy to go backwards and sideways most of the time before the lump up the park.

Unfortuantely he is and allegedly injured. I did read on a thread a while backthat he will be heading back to France in January to join a 2nd tier outfit over there. It was suggested that his family have already returned to France so hopefully this story is true. He is obviously not in Robbie's plans although I have to say he would be no worse than most of the current team based on recent performances. You also have to wonder about players such as Moore, Henderson, Brandon, Cochrane (on loan) what does the future hold for them. At least a couple of them were given contract extensions why?

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The squad isn't that far away, we're decent at the back, Haring's improving and between Boyce/Wighton/Naisy there's enough goals there once they get firing. Quality out wide and an athletic midfielder who can get forward are the additions that are required. If you get rid of Damour you're halfway there in terms of the one in/one out policy.
