Gambo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Gordon 6 Spectator Smith 7 Unlucky booking, played well. Popescu 8 Played on correct side of defence. Never lost a header, tackle, interception or pass. Motm Halkett 7 Did well Kingsley 7 As Halkett Irvine 8 Strolled it Halliday 7 Much better further forward. Like others, should have scored. Walker 7 A lot better from him. Should have bagged a couple. GMS 7 Run at them. Another who should have scored. Ginnelly 5 injured Boyce 6 Did okay, should have scored more Henderson 6 Got a goal Gnadgulliet 6 Can't ask for a better start than that. Naismith 4 Contributed.

Dia Liom Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Thought the midfield was very good. Shows how useful Walker can be if we're winning the ball high up the pitch, would give him an 8. Agree Popescu as motm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Locke Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gordon - f all to do so hard to mark smith - 7 neat and tidy on the ball never troubled Popescu 8 best game he has had for us Halkett- 7 solid much better tonight Kingsley- 7 similar to smith neat and tidy, one bit of class with the back heal to Walker ginelley - 5 started the game well then usual injury for him gutted cause when he plays looks a real threat Halliday- 6 missed 2 sitters was okay at times but needs to do more for me Irving - 8.5 different class one of the passes was absolutely outstanding gms- 7 got sharper as the first half went on, excited to see when fully fit walker - 8.5 was everywhere tonight much better when he plays that free role when Naismith isn’t there...

gregzy2k7 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Defence done well in an attacking sense but came under absolutely no pressure defensively so its hard to judge them completely, Although that was due to how well we played in an attacking sense, I noticed we played a very high line at times, Reminded me of how we played under stendel.

18Jambo_dave74 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gordon 7 - be surprised if he’s had many quieter nights. Smith 7 - nice one-two for Boyce’s goal. Popescu 8 - very good tonight, much more comfortable on right side of defence. Halkett 7 - solid. Kingsley 8 - ran at the opposition more tonight, very good performance. Irving 8 - strolled it. Halliday 7 - better, should have scored however. Ginnelly 5 - looked quite lively. Walker 8 - I’m a big critic but that was much more like it, most energetic display I’ve seen from him for a while. GMS 7 - decent but still working up his fitness levels. Boyce 8 - best I’ve seen his link up play but another one that should’ve had more goals. Henderson 6 - great that he scored but still looks far too timid. Gnanduillet 8 - thought he looked rusty but could (should?) have scored a hat trick. Great header. Naismith 6 - looked busy.

Texaco Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Signings making a difference tonight. Both an 8. Gandy's goals the highlights but also though Mackay Stevens was influential. With Ginnelly going off the ball came his way a lot. Very positive, held the ball up well, good decision making and the odd good run. A lot to come from both. I had the stuffing knocked out of me on Saturday but my optimism has returned tonight and the red wine’s helping.. Will I ever learn..

Uncle Buck Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Gordon - 6 Stood there looking very handsome. Smith - 7 Got much tighter to Kennedy tonight. Popescu - 8 Dominated Manny Duku. More comfortable on the right. Halkett - 7 Strolled it. Kingsley - 7 Defended well and linked up with GMS. Ginnelly - 5 Injured. Irving - 8 Dictated the game. Playing one twos. Everything went through him. Motm. Halliday - 6 Better further forward but missed two absolute sitters. GMS - 7 Ran at defence more and looked lively. Still not 100% fit. Walker - 8 Much sharper and hungry tonight. Should have scored. Boyce - 7 Worked hard and great goal. Henderson - 6 Goal but very quiet. Armand - 8 Looks a monster in the air. Two good goals.

Ethan Hunt Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I’ll obviously be going against the grain here but I didn’t think it was a particularly great performance (I know, I know, we scored four goals). RR were shite, as shown by the fact that they didn’t have a single shot at goal. I thought we were still pretty pedestrian in our play, especially in the second half. I still think we lack a sense of injustice (as to what happened last season) in our play. Getting beaten by RR on Saturday was bad enough, I wanted them put to the sword tonight. Although we scored 4, with more application and desire we could have had a cricket score. We played against a team that had played one game in weeks, the game they beat us in on Saturday. RR tonight looked like a team that were playing their second game in four days after not having played for weeks previously. They went down to ten men and looked a beaten and demoralised side, totally different from the outfit that turned up at Tynecastle on Saturday. I not going to slate the team for a 4-0 win, but in the same breath I’ll not be going overboard about what was, a professional but by no means spectacular performance, despite the score.

Agreed, I didn’t think we were that great and very lax in front of goal. Had we been on form, that should have been double figures. I agree we were better than we have been in a lot of games, but weren’t up against much. Some players played well, but as a team there were a lot of mistakes. It’s a good starting point.

JimmyCant Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Gordon 5 (for finishing a very difficult Sudoko) Smith 7 . He’s always at least a 7 Popescu 8. Okay not the busiest night but he did everything right Halkett 7 looked comfortable enough switching sides Kingsley 6 Quiet but assured Ginelly 3 injured again is a big worry for the future Walker 7 a really good performance from him, especially first half. Tired a bit Halliday 6 Okay. No better than okay Irving 9. Tremendous MOTM by a distance GMS 7 much improved On Saturday Boyce 7 lost a point for missing sitters again Henderson 5 good for him to get a goal and not his position but he was quiet. Maybe needs a bit more belief ? Naismith 6 not much time but geed us up a bit when he came on Gnanduillet 8 2 goals in a shortish cameo, one a tremendous leap for a header. Very good debut.

vlad on the tyne Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Big poppy set the tone I felt. Very aggressive and showed real urgency. Irving was good. When raith went down to 10, it allowed him time and space to spray passes left and right. Frightening that we had that fud pereira on loan last year and Jamie macdonald went to Alloa.

Dazo Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Thought everyone played well but I think it’s clear whoever plays centre mid beside Irving needs to accept they are their predominantly to win the ball and give to Andy. They need to cover ground, more defensive minded and keep it simple. If we have someone beside him who keeps getting forward other teams will and have strolled through our midfield.
