But given the previous experiences re managerial turnover under this board, it seems like we will be saddled with the incumbent regardless. Pretty sure everyone would love it if RN was putting a side out that played fast, attractive, attacking football, something this squad is more than capable of.

Wee bit of perspective needed here. There’s not a hope in hell that the squad we had last season would’ve beaten Rangers in the cup had RN been in charge. We only beat them cos we had a go.

Tokyo Drifter Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I've been concerned for a while now that we could come straight back down, assuming we win the title this season and are promoted. Thought Stevo's comments mid-week were on the money - he asked how many of this Hearts squad are actually Premiership quality players? Boyce, Naismith, Smith, Gordon, Kingsley and Walker for sure - though they all featured in a team that was one of the worst in the league last season - but even guys like Irving and McEneff are unproven in the top league. As for Kastaneer, Roberts, Frear, Henderson ... I don't think so. That means we have nine games to improve them and make them gel as a team, or there's going to be (yet another) rebuilding session over the summer. And we all know how they usually turn out.

My point, which was probably poorly made, is that we have had successive managers who have made obvious mistakes, game after game, for long periods of time and have supporters who think this is fine. An example of this would be the ridiculous formation that RN is so reluctant to change which sees us with two holding midfelders and one striker in an extremely poor league. Worked fine for a while but we became too predictable and our poor wing play made us easy to defend against. The solution to this? More of the same.

Robbo-Jambo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 6 minutes ago, GinRummy said: Nobody is saying points in the bank aren’t vital. My point, which was probably poorly made, is that we have had successive managers who have made obvious mistakes, game after game, for long periods of time and have supporters who think this is fine. An example of this would be the ridiculous formation that RN is so reluctant to change which sees us with two holding midfelders and one striker in an extremely poor league. Worked fine for a while but we became too predictable and our poor wing play made us easy to defend against. The solution to this? More of the same. Correct. Most teams have a plan B. We don't and it looks too difficult to try and figure one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the last five games haven’t shown everyone that things need to change on the pitch and they aren’t going to fix themselves, then they haven’t watched them. It’s that simple.

In part dictated by the unique circumstances of "premiership" clubs being in the same league but this league is not as easy as some make out. It should be, but isn't. This league is a glorified pub league - the problem is Hearts are continually outfought & out thought by teams like Dunfermline who "boasted" a midfield of two loanees & a guy who was playing 3rd tier "football" the season before. A Hearts team who got run ragged by a 35 YO overweight has been at Dundee. This league doesn't have Rangers , Hibs and a full time QoS like last time (they were a very good side IMO). It's nowhere near the standard of last time (and neither is this Hearts team). So many bang average players going through the motions who just aren't going to cut it next season. The league's in the bag - even this lot won't feck it up but it reeks of complacency. As for next season - how "competitive do you think the Prem is ? There's a terrifying lack of pace & power , will to win in this team (look at last night, the last 10 minutes "have a go" approach , yet again). This is a club that has been in steady decline for years (see previous post here for league finishes) and while you can't blame RN for that you have to ask how we've now reached a point where we're "competitive" in the 2nd tier - cause make no mistake , that's the standard this club is at now.

Gordon Ramsay Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 People making excuses for Neilson do not watch the games. You could see how bad Stevenson and McFadden thought we were over the last few weeks. Its not just folk on here who think we're pish, it's anyone who has a semblance of footballing knowledge.

As I said low standards . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
