steve123 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I will probably be in the minority but thought he showed what he is about today, in my opinion he has been ineffective as he has been coming deep to try and create. Don't get me wrong he is not faultless but we have not been playing to his strengths( goal from Ginnelly cross) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
been here before Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Cant really say Im seeing it with Boyce. The talent and ability is obviously there but he just looks like he cant be arsed most of the time. Seems to lose interest very quickly. In all fairness though he's not the only one just now.

Barack Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Being Hearts' main striker is probably up there with one of the most thankless tasks on the planet. What's he on now? 9 in 12 or something?

Alan_R Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I like him. When we get balls in for him to attack and passes in behind he does well. He's had to drop deep because our play is so stale. Least of our worries but needs some help up there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 First touch is terrible when he drops deep ... . but scores goals when in the box. Needs to concentrate on the job he was bought to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
south morocco Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Wasted in the way we play.. Great playerin or about the box but has to come too deep. Naismith similar at the moment. Push them up the park Will get us goals. It’s because our midfield is so bad in my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WoolfordsHearts Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 When you see some of the ramblings on todays match thread about him,you realise some haven't got a ******* clue about football.

D4nny_ Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I know our old business model was high salary low bonus which is probably why the majority of some of these guys just don’t looked phased. I definitely heard Ann saying our model was changing to incorporate a better bonus structure in the return for slightly lower salary’s, which is by far the better way in my opinion as it gives some motivation and incentive. I’m assuming there will still be players on the old set up. Can’t remember where I heard that, although may have been a news article. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pasquale for King Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 He needs better service, our crossing is awful especially from Smith, I could be wrong but the only time they’ve combined for a goal was in the last NI game. We really didn’t get the ball to GMS enough in the first half today. Boyce should’ve been onside and scored from Naismith’s cross today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost in space Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 37 minutes ago, Gambo said: Hard job when he has 4 defenders defending the shit service. This. He is scoring goals when getting the service he need. He is coming too deep to try and get the ball (playing as no 10). Cant blame him when he is usually only player opposition box. Our tactics are pathetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jblair182 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Like Boyce but his link up play was poor today. Usually his strength. Heard someone say he misses a sitter every game and that is absolutely true. Today it was flagged offside anyway. He does get frustrated very easily and don’t think he and Naismith suit each other. Wouldn’t mind seeing him with Wighton (or a new striker) a bit more regularly.
