A_A wehatethehibs Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Same goal he scored against Airdrie wasn’t it? Deadly from a yard. Maybe we’ve accidentally stumbled across a poacher, we’ve just not thought to stick him in the 6 yard box. Seriously though, be really happy if it’s the start of something good, because he is a good lad and very good athlete. Looks to me possibly like that’s him ahead of Wighton in the managers thoughts now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8skacel8 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Not going to cut it in my opinion. Never done anything of major note to suggest he will do otherwise. He seems to get plenty opportunities though so he must be doing something right in training. Can see him being filed in the David Smith/Billy King/Dale Carrick category of player.

You might end up being right but give the guy his moment. He’s done something I’d give my left bollock for growing up. So would most on here. Congrats Euan.

Riccarton3 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 If he keeps Frear and Roberts further away from the team,its a thumbs up. He has good energy, willing to harry and hassle the opposition. Goal should boost his confidence. Useful to have around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see him being filed in the David Smith/Billy King/Dale Carrick category of player. Well he’s got a much, much stronger physique than any of them 3 names you mention. It’s his physicality that is the reason I think he is getting ahead of the likes of Wighton. Think he just needs to learn to use it a bit more, needs a bit of a nasty streak installed. Let’s hope elbows can help him with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftie Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I am not wanting to piss on anybody’s parade, but for me I thought he was poor. Yes, can’t dispute he scored, but so could I from the goal line. What frustrated me most, and I closely watched him the whole game, was he constantly received the ball, and instantly wanted to just play it back. He has decent pace, but not once did he try and take his man on. Considering he was playing wide I just wish he was braver. He just looks so scared. Not wanting to be overly critical, but can anybody genuinely say they can remember anything positive contributions. I just don’t think he is good enough IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plastic_bas Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Every time I watch Henderson it feels clear to me that he's a centre forward. An on the shoulder, running in behind nippy striker. When he plays out wide, he doesn't like facing up a full back and he often struggles with his back to goal on the touchline. I have my doubts that he has the quality to play in a top six premiership side but I guarantee his next club will play him through the middle.

Bongo 1874 Posted January 16 Youth team players ain't the problem, I was spot on about Irving and if Robbie is prepared to give Henderson time, he will prove people wrong too. Wait until people see Cammy Logan and others, my biggest fear is Robbie the guy to take their game, to the level it needs to be at. Well done Hendo 👍.

JimmyCant Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) I like the laddie. I hope once this league is put to bed we can give him a run of games. He’s got pace and he’s got guts.

Stu_HMFC Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I think Hendo offers more than Roberts White and Frear don't mind him being in and around the first team at least he gives his all when playing for Hearts unlike a few passengers who don't break a sweat and stroll around picking up a massive wage at the end of the month.

Goodfella Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I don't mind Henderson as a third/fourth choice striker or winger. Hope he gets game time ahead of Wighton, Frear and Roberts for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hibsarepants Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Problem is he played on the wing , and he is never a winger. Got the ball , passed it back 9 times out of 10.

Really really not down on him, he has plenty time, and it may well al come together, but he really doesn't offer any threat. I always get the impression he's inside his own head a bit, if that makes sense? Needs to let go a bit and not care if he makes a mistake. Needs to be given licence to do so too. If Gino is out for a couple of weeks, give him the right wing and tell him this is his big chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
