Debut 4 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Just now, Tazio said: They’re shite, no argument from me here. But Stendel was the classic case of a manager coming in and underestimating the league and thinking crap players from foreign leagues would be good enough. I’m not defending Neilson I’m saying there’s no proof Stendel was the answer. I’m not wanting to divert away from the main debate and I don’t really linger on the past. But putting Stendel’s shortcomings aside, it was clear he had Hearts playing at real tempo, improved individuals and had us playing some decent football. Bearing on mind where we’d came from and the dire shite before him. Anyway, it’s all in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got some stuff wrong but I think he'd had learned and with this season under his belt I'd have been quite excited at the prospect of next season. For better or worse, he at least seemed able to elicit a response from some players. The ones who didn't, I'm sure in time he'd had replaced. Nelson, like levein before him, hasn't made anyone better, in fact, the pair of them tend to make players worse. Even in his first stint players came in, looked good and then petered out before joining the conveyor belt. Stendel had some of the team really playing for him.

glynnlondon Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 We'll get out of this shit league that's not the issue any manager incapable of that needs taking out and shot. The shape we'll be in next season is my worry and my faith in Neilson is about the same as my faith in those running the club. Hope I'm proved wrong but I haven't been so far the past few years. I expect little now and even then we underachieve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's not as simple as that but our approach and attitude towards games is shambolic and an insult to the fans.

Silvery_Moon Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I said it on the main match thread but that's 1 win and 3 defeats in the 4 matches against Dundee, Raith and Dunfermline this season - our main challengers in the league. We are very very lucky that all 3 have been dropping points in other games or this could be a very different situation that we find ourselves in. If this form in big matches continues over the next 2 games then this will become a very serious situation. Absolutely no point in fighting back for a glorious defeat against Celtic (quite frankly we shat the bed first half in that game) if we can't do it in the games that matter in this league. It was good of Budge to fight in the courts last summer but what we really need is a similar level of determination on the football pitch. Our relegation was extremely unfair last season but truth be told we'd have probably gone down anyway. There is something rotten at our club - similar to how Aberdeen were for the best part of two decades after the mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Louis Valois Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 It's a strange one, any players who have been interviewed this season can't speak highly enough of Neilson and what he's brought to the club. But the performances have been pretty bad all season. Theirs no way their will be a change of management when we are top of the league. The rest of the season won't be pretty but lets just get promoted and then see what next season brings, then he can be judged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a two year deal, i hope the club do not extend, which will make it easier to bin him next season if he fails to meet minimum expectations.

SectionDJambo Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Robbie looks like he’s learned nothing over his years as a head coach. He doesn’t seem to be able to motivate this Hearts team into getting wired in from the start. Hearts are a club who were the subject of a terrible wrong, all for the benefit of clubs like Raith Rovers, Dundee and Dunfermline. Yet these players and head coach cannot motivate themselves sufficiently to make these clubs regret what they did to us. They care not a jot for the feelings of the fans who have done so much for Hearts over the last 8 years. Hearts must be the softest club in the entire SPFL, from top to bottom. All the other clubs know that if they send their teams out to get into the faces of our team, the chances are that they will get a positive result. Hearts, as a club, are currently spineless from top to bottom. When the young boys were thrown into the fight during administration, for all the bad results, nobody could say that they didn’t give everything for Hearts. This lot think they’re doing us a favour being here. If Robbie Neilson can’t change that, he should go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
