Diadora Van Basten Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 He was signed as a striker and played as attacking midfielder as we had no pace. I feel a bit for him as I have a son the same age and it was always going to be hard for him. I think a lot of people wrote him off when he is very young. I thought he was brilliant today and it was good to see him play his natural game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 To be fair he showed more of what he had started to show under Stendel. Just shows that the best part of another year of this lad’s career has been wasted for no obvious reason. Not saying he is Pele but you’re guaranteed effort and pace from him. The more games he gets you’ll start to get a more finished product. That run for the penalty was insane. Had he just got a wee break and manage to get a chance to lift the ball over the keeper it would have been a fantastic goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I still have my doubts but he did well tonight and he has a good positive attitude. Even if he's not the most talented player in the world, he always wants to take the ball and run at defenders. I like that. There have been too many matches this season where players with more ability than Henderson have hid and passed the buck by taking the safe option. That's something you can't accuse Henderson of. He's earned the right to start against Morton with his performance tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull's-eye Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 He's always got pass marks from me because his effort is always 100%. It's unfortunate he's been surrounded by players who's effort has been questionable at best. Still a young guy and he's got the build, hopeful.

AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 He looked like he'd just been set free. In some ways he looked like a player on his debut, he was so different - in a very positive way - to what we'd seen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's earned the right to start against Morton with his performance tonight. There was a point at 0-0 when he got the ball on the left, stood face-to-face with the defender for a second or two, and then rather than taking him on played a safe short backward pass to Halliday. And I thought, here we go again with bot being willing to take risks in the right areas of the pitch. Was great to see him come to a game after that. Hopefully something to build on between now and the end of the season. Amazed to hear that he has played over 40 games. Ok a lot of them have been sub appearances, but he is definitely one who has been given chances. He turns 21 in the summer and has a year left on his contract, so could do with ending this season in a way that sets him up to make next season his real break through season. Fingers crossed.

Always felt he needed the shackles to come off when Ive watched him. Got all the attributes to be a good player just hope he's got the mentality for it. He's going to have poor games going forward so up to him not let that affect him but also up to management to keep playing him and show him some faith.

King prawn Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Brilliant run for his goal. He realised after he went past one he could go past another and then another. I didn’t think he had it to succeed at Hearts and I’m not sure a game against Alloa at home is enough to judge him by completely. However, if he keeps playing like that I’ll admit I was wrong.
