Fozzyonthefence Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 minute ago, ToqueJambo said: I really like Stendel mate. Would have him back in a second in the Premiership another time. His results were shit though as were half his signings and his decision not to drop the goalie was the most damaging of any Hearts manager I can recall. I don’t agree with you very often but I agree with that. Even Bobby or Doyle would probably have kept us up, he must’ve cost us at least 4 points. Start of the Championship might have been the best time to appoint Stendel as we would have won the league whoever the manager was. A season to get used to his style before the Premiership. We’ll never find out now though but don’t think bee could’ve appointed him at a worse time than when we did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me how many games you have thought we have played well in this year taking the opposition into account? I don't think we've played a great 90 minutes all season, it's been patchy at best, doesn't mean my eyes bled and I didn't enjoy the games though.

Love what she's done for us and I'm delighted she's steering us through the pandemic relatively unscathed. She's made some duff decisions but then who hasn't. You and others have also been defending employees, namely Stendel. Levein's one of my football heroes, I rate Neilson as a manager, and I'm very grateful to Budge for saving us. These aren't controversial reasons. If the trolls on here we'ren't constantly attacking the club I could just get on with my favourite Hearts related chat of reminiscing about some of our 80s teams and players. Going to try not to get drawn into these arguments anymore but it's tricky when the negativity is so constant. You need at least a couple of voices to balance things out surely?

Smith's right boot Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, Boris said: Do you not recognise that there is genuine concern regarding the level of recent performances? It's not about scudding teams, it's about how we are set up, how we perform. With our squad, and applied correctly,tactically and with motivated players, we'd be happy. We may not win every game but at least we would look like we were trying to and, more than likely, we would! Do you not see that? You are quite happy with how we are playing? Because it's ok, because we are top of the league and next season will look after itself? All I hear from you is the mantra from the Levein years, that I allowed myself to believe then. Once bitten twice shy for me. I still say 6th place finish, lc sf and sc final isn't an automatic sacking at Hearts. Motivated players as I said above is dicey, lots out of contract and some know they are gone. We are top and performing well overall in the league, the last 3 games have been poor, but imo it's more to do with finishing than tactics or motivation. I thought we actually started faster in these draws than we have in many of our victories. Next season is the challenge, but given Robbies past record and our expected new signings I am not worried about it, I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully be at a game as well.

Skacelsid Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Big Gnand must play and he has already recognised, going by his comments, that we need get ball into the box and forward quicker and more often, even route one at times if that is what it takes, defenders do not like it, we are letting teams settle with our slow build up. We are more than capable of blowing Dundee away and start looking like champions, let our players loose and get this league wrapped up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nookie Bear Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Hoping Dundee will repeat the mistake of Day One by trying to attack us and leaving huge gaps for us to play in.

Smith, as well as Boyce, is expected to make the Dundee clash while captain Naismith is regarded as “touch-and-go”. Possible XI: Gordon; Smith, Popescu, Halkett, Kingsley; Mackay-Steven, McEneff, Halliday, Walker; Gnanduillet, Boyce. ...not bad line-up that, would like to see Haring for Halliday.
