This is the route Levein took us down with the squad needing rebuilt constantly. It didn't work other than line agents' pockets...

 

There is plenty strength in the current squad, it's just the style isn't paying dividends. I don't think it'll matter how many squad rebuilds Neilson could get as ultimately he's got too many similar traits to Levein.

 

 

 

The style is paying dividends, we're top of the league tho....

And for Hearts that 15-20 mins of league form against the really pish sides has been enough to put them to bed. But against the better league sides... I feel I'm repeating myself here.

 

Also top of the league by a max of 3 pts should Raith win their games in hand. Let's not get a false impression we're romping the league at the moment.

He'd play Berra even if he ended up with no legs. Right now he's barely got one leg and he's getting a game including back to being captain when Naismith isn't on the park.

 

Night and day difference to Stendel's treatment of Berra. Can tell which sees the player as a friend, Hearts cup winning teammate etc, and which saw him as the centre back no longer able to play at that level and was a weakness in the team.

 

Stendel punted him on loan to Dundee last season where he was their best player second half of season. Played virtually every game. What league were Dundee in last season?

We're top. 

Form? 

 

In regards to "big games" Beat Dundee, beat of Dundee, Raith Dunfermline.  We have to play them several more times. 

We also drew with celtic and beat hibs over 120 minutes. 

 

Doing the job with room for improvement for me.

Just go back as far as the Alloa cup game and maybe the signings of frear Robert’s Halliday  and popescu

Get where you are coming from. It seems to me as though mistakes haven't learned from, which is surprising as many lessons have been taught to us over the last 5 years.

Glad that you have faith and, if results go our way over the next week, then Neilson and the players might get a bit of latitude from us...However, finding our selves on the receiving end of three consecutive pumpings might not go down very well on here or indeed the wider support.

 

You would have to say that Neilson's position, should the worst happen, be untenable. I'm saying that because (sadly, it seems) players can't be sacked for gross incompetence. 

 

My question is where would you draw the line? I'm asking because obviously I've already made up my mind and that line has already been crossed.

Cathro, Levein and Stendel have changed my perspective. Levein and Cathro were given far too long and Stendel not long enough. This kind of decision comes from the top.

So now Neilson again for a second time and already the signs are there, performances riddled with lack of commitment, motivation and passion - the complete opposite of what we see in our closest rivals in this league. How long do we wait?

Robbie has had little to do with the last 3/4 seasons, he can only win this league and get us promoted. 

So far job done, with room for improvement. 

 

I completely disagree regarding Robbie last time, we were a decent and improving team under him. If he'd stayed we'd have been in about the top 4 every season imo. His, league positions with us  support that.

We definitely wouldn't have been demoted if he'd stayed.

Hang on though! It’s not just this season. Players look like they lacked motivation through large parts of Levein and Mcphees management and much of Stendel’s as well. We all agree the side was in a horrendous state for years. We got demoted because we were bottom and deservedly bottom when the league was halted. 
 

So suddenly we are in the championship and should be skelping sides because we have a bigger budget. When were we scudding st mirren, Livingston and Hamilton? All of whom we had a vastly bigger budget than. 
 

We have been pish for years. That’s not going to be sorted in one restrictive window and the state we are in isn’t down to RN either. Give the guy a chance.

He taken the gig as he's spent over a decade with us as player or manager and Utd are a basket case. 

 

Away and lie doon and stop the emotional drivel spouting from whatever orifice you have decided to use this time. 

 

 

 

What are you on. Emotional drivel. The only person who spouts utter inane pish on this forum is you.

 

You deliberately go out of your way to wind everyone up.

 

Whoop de do. Robbie has us top of the league. With the budget and players in comparison to everyone else we should be. That’s not an achievement, it’s bare minimum.

 

He took us to Europe in his last tenure to get beat by a bunch of Maltese fishermen or did you selectively forget that embarrassment.

 

My issue was in the latter part of last time here and this time the football is slow and pedestrian. We rarely start on the front foot. 15 passes from side to side only allows the opposition to get their players in shape behind the ball. We are lethargic and teams who play with tempo are destroying us. We could and should have been 5 down before we got into the game yesterday. If you’re happy with Robbie getting his ar$e handed to him by managerial royalty such as McPake, Crawford, McGlynn and Grant, fine. I expect more from my team. I expect them to play with effort. I expect them to go out from minute one and harass the opposition.

 

What we have is slow pedestrian football with players who look unfit. They remind me of how fit they were under Levein.

 

The problem with this club is too many people like you are happy to accept the sh1t that we have been getting served up for the last 4 years and it’s why we are where we are.

Robbie simply has to take at least 4 points from the next two games imo or the pressure will really start to mount, The cold hard fact is we should be way more comfortable than we are at present, For me it is worrying that the players only playing well when they can be arsed, That's the managers job to sort out and if he can't he needs to take those players out the starting 11 and play the youngsters.

Not a shambles tho, a team top cannot be a shambles. 

 

Just usual suspects trying to be a drama. 

 

A team that is top can most certainly be a shambles. We are proving that.

 

Our signing policy continues to be shambolic. We’ve signed players that aren’t good enough, and as a result we are having to sign other players as replacements. In addition, we have failed to sign players for positions that clearly need strengthening. 

 

Our defending is shambolic, partly because of our shambolic signing policy. We have current and former International players in our defence who are an utter shambles and leak goals left, right and centre.

 

Our “playing style” is shambolic. In fact there is no playing style. Our shambolic signing policy meant we signed two wingers (Frear and Roberts) who aren’t good enough. Rather than admit it Neilson continues to play them, despite the fact that we rarely play with any width, mainly because said two players aren’t good enough.

 

Our tactics and game management is shambolic. We appear to assume that because we have - comfortably - the best squad in the league we simply have to turn up. Neilson talking up how “difficult” each game will be and how “difficult” our opponents will be is frankly embarrassing. It is merely deflection for when it goes Pete Tong, like it has four times this season already.

 

It cannot be argued that we have by far the best squad in the league. Given that our performance, even when we have won some games, have been rotten at best, and some have indeed been a shambles, albeit a winning shambles.

 

Because every team in this league has a worse squad than us, and in their own ways are just as shambolic doesn’t mean that we aren’t a shambles. We are, but you always seem to be one of the last ones to see it as evidenced by your defence of Levein.

Stuck by Cathro and Levein until they proved that they were not capable

Never really had a chance to asses Stendel

Was disappointed with Neilson's appointment for a second time

So should we wait and potentially have another year of this (which the SPFL may have already decided) or pay attention to the warning signs, which have previously been ignored to our massive detriment.

 

I suspect people are getting jumpy, I'm sure I'm not super-imposing my feelings on to our support. You may think it's reactionary but that, I think, is how I and others are thinking. Stop the rot early as we have been penalised before for our misplaced faith..

It worries me that this has been a problem for years. Long before Neilson. Naismith, Berra, Smith, Boyce, Halliday, Halkett, Kingsley all experienced players. Do they really need a manger to get them up for it ? All should be embarrassed about being regularly turned over by championship teams. They are all starting games like they have been on the piss and they dont care or it wouldn't happen time after time. Something stinks in the dressing room and has for a while.

I would be getting rid of Naismith, gets a free ride as club captain and has been an ever present throughout the shit times. He isn't setting the required standard, nowhere near. Its just a hobby for him now and it's rubbing off on the rest.

No, only that defensive options might be a lot clearer in next day or two. One week until window closes so a number headed out and some coming in though suspension of lower leagues making it harder to get some of them out. 

Please be two new centre-halves.

 

Very telling that the suspension of lower leagues means we can't off-load some of our own surplus (i.e. useless huddies)

It is shambolic and has been for 5 years.  Massive disappointment after the championship season.  Utterly incredible that we're back there.

 

No idea what the answer is.

We all defend the club when necessary but when you refuse to see that are staring you in the face that’s completely different.

 

Everyone wants Hearts to do well but when criticism is needed like it has been on a good few occasions this season, you don’t come on and tell everyone they are chatting shit and be obnoxious

Strange how views differ so completely, such polarization.

I wasn't part of the Robbie oot crew first time around, but wasn't disappointed when he left.

Stuck by Cathro and Levein until they proved that they were not capable

Never really had a chance to asses Stendel

Was disappointed with Neilson's appointment for a second time

So should we wait and potentially have another year of this (which the SPFL may have already decided) or pay attention to the warning signs, which have previously been ignored to our massive detriment.

 

I suspect people are getting jumpy, I'm sure I'm not super-imposing my feelings on to our support. You may think it's reactionary but that, I think, is how I and others are thinking. Stop the rot early as we have been penalised before for our misplaced faith..

 

All fair, but I'm not seeing how Cathro, CL and Stendels failures are a reflection on Robbie. My views on Robbie are based on the league positions and facts, not really a view tbh, just  facts on his last tenure.

There is no magic manager that will come in. Robinson was the flavour last season, Wright before him , Ross early doors this season and now Martindale( incoming soon).  Folk will champion guys like these while ripping Robbie.

 

I thought at the start we'd win about 20 games, maybe 22 or so and lose 3/4. looks like we might lose about 5 or 6. Who knows?

I also thought hibs would beat us in the sf and that Celtic would maybe pump us, on the flip side I wasn't happy about Alloa in the lc or Raith yesterday. Pretty much an average season for being a Hearts fan, some good surprises and some shite ones.

The important thing is we are top and  end up top, I think we will -comfortably.

 

On his last tenure, tbh if we can get back to being around the top 6, never mind the top 2 or 3 were Robbie had us  then I'd be happy and think about building from there.

Too many folk have lost all concept of reality on here, they want and demand us to be 3rd and even challenging the OF , but forget we are a team in the championship and have to build accordingly from there, no matter how angry they are or how much of a huff they are in.

Folks are jumpy because there is so little margin for error in a shortened season. Am

confident Neilson will get us back up as champions and then establish us comfortably in the top 6. From then on it’s up to him if he can progress us.

He backed Hibs for the cup. The end.

So he/she did.

Shameful behaviour.
