Players who have improved this season.

[GinRummy]

Be interested to hear folks opinions on which players have shown the most improvement this season. 

[Gary Locke]

I think halkett has improved compared to last season.. he’s not had as many individual errors but still think he can do even better than shown hopefully with souttar and smith along side him we will see the best of him

Never noticed him much at livi but I believe he played in a back 3 there and done well. Maybe that would suit him better.

Wasting your time all is good 👍.

I think Euan Henderson has come on a bit. Liam Boyce and Jamie Walker are probably stronger than they were at the start and Peter Haring’s showing on Friday suggests he’s getting back to his best.

[SomethingAboutObua]

Walker maybe? Half of our regular starters are new signings so not much to say on it really. Henderson maybe but that seems generous and would be mostly based on his Alloa performance. 

Don't think anyone from last season's regressed though tbf, other than Berra's continuing downward spiral and Naismith just ageing.

Henderson is about it

I don’t think any player has improved. Walker has got lazier, if that’s possible. 

[The Gorgie]

I wouldn't say anyone has improved in terms of quality. If Haring can get full 90 mins in each of the games remaining hopefully getting him back to the player we seen before injury then I'll happily take that as improvement.

I hope Henderson makes it. Maybe just played out of position and needs a run in the side in his proper role. 

[sandylejambo]

Roberts when he left us

[michaeljambo22]

Player at hearts don't tend to improve not for a long time!

This is the key. Give him the last 3 games in his proper position and let's see how he does

[Cruyff]

I wouldn't say anyone. The majority of them are playing at a lower level than they should be. 

[R1874]

Boyce probably. Henderson in recent weeks.

[Weebroon98]

Under Neilson,  i think most players have got worse this season

[The Mighty Thor]

Bob hasn't improved or developed a single player. 

 

He's signed some utter shite too. 

 

He's got approximately 15 weeks to turn into Pep and improve/develop his players ready for his back to back title charge. 

[Finlay James]

No one, this season can't end quick enough

[Bill Sikes]

Haring.

[Bill Sikes]

Soutter

[Bill Sikes]

Kingsley.

Only idiots like Dickens would hyphenate it. Jim Bowen knew his stuff. 

[Gambo]

Not one.

 

The only position we improved on from last season was goalkeeper.

Euan Henderson, It might have only been one game but he was really good. Hope he’s given the chance to kick on.

Probably the only correct answer.

Definitely improved.

Nobody.

Kingsley.

He has gone downhill since arriving. 

 

It's called the Robbie effect. 

[LarrysRightFoot]

Genuinely nobody has improved. As someone else said they are playing at a lower level and a lot of the time they’ve still looked hopeless.

 

Wighton would have been the only one you could put an argument up for. 

[brawlad74]

So one player in Wighton whose left. Embarrassing for the coaching team..

None. Not one player has improved.

 

in fact apart from Gordon and Boyce they have all regressed.

[mscjambo]

I think broadly this season could have been massive for Haring. Performance wise no but getting match sharpness after a year out this season for him could be pivotal to getting that player back we know is in there. I'm very hopeful this season has been that for haring 

[wattie exploited]

wighton but that's not saying much as he was pretty shit until the last two months before he left when he was actual doing ok 

[Jambof3tornado]

Loic Damour has looked much better now he doesn't get played.

That actually sums it up.

[BRING_BACK_MO_BERTHA]

Wighton and Ginnely were better than we expected... Boyce and Gordon have been as good as we expected... Kingsley and Smith have been good enough... Nando apart perhaps, there is no case for any of the rest.

[Kirky Jambo]

It’s telling that the only player to improve has been Roberts, and it’s because he left.

 

What’s more worrying is the number of players who have visibly regressed, much like our team as a whole

[Stu_HMFC]

Hendo looks more stronger and doesn’t panic when he gets on the ball now he lifts his head and got more time on the ball. I Really hope he makes it. A massive jambo I’m told. We need more Hearts fans in the squad who knows what it means to play for Hearts

I know it was just Alloa we were playing but I thought he (Halkett) looked much better in that recent game. In recent games it was painfully obvious that none of the central defenders had been designated to take responsibiltiy for attacking the ball in the air but last Friday Halkett was going for everything in the air, and won everything. It probably helps as well that both Michael Smith and John Souttar are much more mobile than Berra and Popescu, meaning they functioned better as a unit (strangely enough I also thought Halliday looked much better af wing back as well, a position he played well in early in the season when used there versus both Hibs and Celtic)
