Sibbick epitomises everything that is lacking in the team. 

 

Sibbick played two games 🤣 One a draw against St J that needed a last minute equaliser from Clare. Oh by the way we had Robbie Neilson stye 61% possession in that game but only 9 shots to St J's 16, which is not very Neilson like.

 

He was outstanding in his 70 or so minutes vs Rangers I'll give you that. The nearest thing we've had to Haring since he got injured.

I liked Sibbick and he looked a player v Rangers......but let’s not go overboard with the comments on him for his handful of performances for Barnsley so far this season. 

You’re using the guy to once again attempt to give Stendel some leverage.....how about you give us a rundown of how Langer and Avdijaj are getting on ?

 

 

What's their not to be impressed about 😂the fact he was in Belgium yet has came back and is playing in a team, that is challenging to get into the premier league 😂. 

 

I could name Clare, Moore, Henderson, Bozanic, Irving just in Stendel's short time at Hearts. 

 

Take Stendel out the picture and let's focus on Robbie, name one player that he has improved?.

Cheers for clearing that up, as earlier you said they were dealt the same hand.

 

I said they were both dealt a tough hand for different reasons and if people thought Stendel deserved more time surely Neilson should, too, especially as - and you keep glossing over this fact - Neilson is doing his job. 

 

Just be honest, if we had a different manager who had done Neilson's job so far this season, everyone would be happy to give him time. The dislike for Neilson is something else considering he's by far the best manager we've had in the league since JJ's second spell.

How about you give me the rundown on Frear and Roberts, oh and Wighton?. 

 

The fact we were even linked to a player like Avdijaj spoke volumes. 

 

He brought in Langer but he certainly wasn't his first choice. 

 

And hasn't been backed the same way Neilson has and was.

Kingsley - no club, training with Falkirk then talked about in Scotland terms. Wighton - derided by fans then club gets stick for letting him go. Halkett - shite now slightly less shite. Berra - bomb scare to slightly less of a bomb scare. Irving - first team regular and far more assertive in games than before. Walker - from fans slagging him off to fans wanting him on from the start in every game. Boyce - not top scorer to top scorer. Ginnelly - going nowhere at Preston to cup final hero (almost). Gnando - had never scored against Raith to a two-goal vs Raith striker. Jason Roberts - Championship player to Premiership player.

Sibbick has everything currently lacking in the team , pace, power , athleticism. 

 

But wait, here's a load of meaningless f kn stats. 

But wait, more, he was "outstanding" & "The nearest thing we've had to Haring since he got injured."

You must be schitzophrenic as well as being a total f kn bore. 

 

He had it in one game, yes. Do you really judge players on one appearance? Makes sense given how quickly some are written off on here.

Neilson isn't a unknown to the club and knows Hearts, and for him to come out with the comments he did re we can't expect to win every game really Robbie, it's the championship not the Scottish Premiership have a word.

Wrong.

 

Look at Championship winning season and reactions of fans, to this season in a Championship we are going to win, and fans reactions.

Why do you think there is a difference and a dislike of Neilson?

 

Ivanauskas/fax machine= Scottish Cup Winners and 2nd in league(with a Rangers and Hibs).

P.Sergio = Scottish Cup winner.

Are both better and more successful  Hearts managers than Championship winning Neilson (knocked out of Europe by waiters) imo.

Kingsley has given away two pens this season and haven't seen him strike a ball anywhere near what he did in the game against Dundee at home, so that's the first one. 

 

 

Wighton an another player to criticise the club 🤔 I wonder. 

 

Halkett are you having a laugh 😂 the guy is an animal and should of been sent of for his attempt to rugby tackle dapo mebude, wrestling is more his thing i think. 

 

Berra yeah we haven't seen him since dundee enough said 🤔. 

 

Irving was showing his capabilities last season so that's not true 🤔. 

 

Walker has always been capable and if Neilson feels he has improved him then why isn't he starting most games?. Wouldn't say he's improved him at all really. 

 

Ginnelly Cup final? hero but the question has to be asked why didn't he start the game 🤔 improved him hard to say really did he play much at us. 

 

Gnando has come out at being frustrated due to the lack of crosses, has he improved him i wouldn't say so, he scored goals at Blackpool didn't he?. 

 

Boyce well again i wouldn't say so as the majority of his goals have came from penalties this season his overall play nope, looks isolated and very frustrated. 

 

Jordan Roberts you aren't being serious with this one are you?.

3 It's a completely different matter to right off a player after "one game" - but we're clearly not talking about that scenario here, no matter what pointless spin you put on it. 

 

4 You referenced the release of Wighton (in another piece of garbage) and the criticism from some about that. IN FACT , and as you are well aware, the most vociferous & continued complaints on here were about the fact he was released to a direct competitor club. But you don't acknowledge that because you have spun it so you can justify more garbage so you can have a go at critics. And you don't like critics. 

 

5 The personal qualities Sibbick showed are what is lacking in the team currently - but you produce a stream of meaningless statistics  in a pathetic attempt to disprove my view of him while agreeing with me in glowing terms about the guy.  I think that's worth another

It’s you who needs to do this......you’re clinging onto him like a silly wee girl would to some handsome twat out a boyband.

 

You’re harping on about a guy who has played 90 minutes only twice this season.....going on like he’s dragging Barnsley up the league almost by himself yet he’s been on the bench as often as he’s started since his loan ended.

No I'm harping on about a guy that has came back from his loan, and seems to be favoured by the manager, in their challenge to get promoted to the premiership. 

 

As for bringing Stendel into it, I certainly never brought him up maybe you can go back and have a look 👍. 

 

And when it comes to a discussion on who the better manager between Robbie and Stendel. 

 

Stendel wins it hands down he offers far more to any team that Robbie ever will. 

 

You just need to look at what leagues they have managed in to see that👍.

Hello from Barnsley. Glad you enjoyed watching Sibbick on Thursday.  I honestly think but for glandular fever he would be a Hearts player because Struber didn't want him. Manager no.3 ( big Val) in his time with us clearly sees what Daniel does and he's had his chance and taken it.

 

It's always nice to hear what other fans think of our players,  who else stood out ?

You are taking my post out of context. The discussion with another poster was based on a view that we should always finish in top 4/5 of top league. My point was based on the fact that budgets don’t determine individual games.  They do usually determine position over the long term but not individual games. If you don’t agree then you are suggesting we should never ever beat Rangers or Celtic again because of budget. 
Budget is playing out in our overall league position this season but not in every individual game eg three defeats.

Robbies 3rd was without Rangers/Hibs, others since JJ2 had to face them, some only got a few months or unpaid wages to contend with etc. Robbie has had it better (circumstance wise) than most of our other managers.

He was on loan to oostende, didn't play a game for them, has come back and seems to be rated by big Val.

I think it's more McEneff for Irving isn't it? Halliday is the only real DM type we have apart from Haring. Neilson started Irving and Halliday in the cup final and for a lot of this season. I think he knows they can play together and is looking at different options.

People say i can't cream over sibbick but sibbick has shown more in two games for Hearts than what McEneff has, and that's playing against Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and St Johnstone now League Cup winners with an assist. 

 

And is now getting a game for Barnsley against the likes of Chelsea in the Fa Cup , but if he was to come back to us he wouldn't regularly get a game ahead of McEneff or Halliday I'm done 😂😂😂😂.

We are not alone in that, as you say it is global so not a Gorgie pandemic. No fans is something every team has to contend with so we are all equal on that, where we differ hugely from others, and especially in this league, is the backing we have, from fans/benefactors, facilities, squad.

Agree we should be performing better. I’m not looking for any excuses. We shouldn’t ever be lower than fifth, and expect us to be at least third. We are far from the third biggest club financially ‘by miles’ though. There’s nothing between us , Aberdeen and Hibs in terms of what we pay players. Budgets matter over the long haul though so it’s a big ask for us to finish above the ugly sisters these days. Just as it’s highly unlikely we won’t win the championship this season. Individual games are one offs though and anything can happen. Every league in Europe has the biggest budget teams dominating, no arguing with that. Odd team in the odd season breaks into that eg Leicester. 
Biggest problem with this forum is the growing number, as you suggest, whose only fun seems to be posting on here after a bad performance or defeat. Very sad but probably not Hearts fans in the truest sense. For me, I don’t really care who the manager is, who the players are, as long as we win.

It wasn't a good joke but it was very obviously a joke 🤣 in the middle of some genuine examples of players Neilson could be said to have improved some. I mean if Stendel can be acclaimed to the heavens for transforming Sean Clare into Cafu surely Neilson should get some credit for turning Wighton into Hulk, even only briefly?

You want Robbie to be given credit for Wighton for scoring goals in the championship, a league that is 💩. 

 

And you don't see the difference between Stendel turning Clare into a right back, from Levein saying he was our answer for centre midfield and yet Levein couldn't get an performance out the lad. 

 

But you don't see the difference. 

 

Did you see how bad Sean Clare was at playing centre midfield and your trying to compare, Wighton in a division below 🤔.

Sean Clare was punted out on loan to Burton Albion after half a season of struggling at right back for Oxford. 
 

He’s now regularly starting in central midfield for them.

I’ve actually enjoyed playing there because of the style the new gaffer [Stendel] wants to implement.

“He wants the full-backs really high so it was almost like a winger role for me rather than a traditional right-back.

“I was able to get the ball in deep positions and spend more time in position so that’s another positive. I’ve just been trying to learn as much as I can about the role – and I’m still learning.”

 

However, he has undoubtedly won over punters in Gorgie despite Hearts sitting rock-bottom of the Premiership – as shown when he was given a standing ovation earlier this season following a red card.

Clare was dismissed for a last man foul on Jon Gallagher during Hearts’ 1-1 draw against Aberdeen on December 29 and, instead of turning on the former Sheffield Wednesday man, he was given a raucous reception on his way up the tunnel.

He continued: “That was a strange feeling and I really appreciated it tenfold!

“It made me feel great – then I realised I was being red carded, which wasn’t so great.

“That support for my performance, and the backing the team got, was amazing. If you watch the video, you can see me waving and trying to acknowledge that backing from the fans.

“Even with 10 men I thought we responded and were on top on the game. We could have won it.”

 

Sean Clare 👍.

Digressing just a little bit it is "so" nice to see that our great club has slipped into bed with Uber Eats  in a deal to deliver you food while you are watching the game at home on the telly.

 

Just a suggestion here but it would seem prudent to concentrate a tad more on the football side of the business before joining forces with the likes of Uber who are not renowned for paying their taxes in this country or in fact treating their workers with anything like respect.

Definitely, this deal with the energy drinks company also quite literally leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Stendel did what Neilson is doing in 20 or so games. He tried all sorts of players in different positions. Clare also played CM and RM I think under Stendel. I vaguely remember he even started Clare somewhere crazy like LM against St Mirren. Probably the only position Levein never played him and Levein played him almost everywhere, the poor lad.
