Could it be our coaching staff are really not very good, an opinion held by most. Most players raise their game for a higher standard of opposition and magnitude of match. Combine that with no atmosphere and no crowds across the whole season. Players react differently, some thrive some don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear he has no future at Hearts. It does look like that. It will be interesting to see whether in the challenge cup Chris plays for Arbroath or captains our youngsters for “Hearts B”, a role he seemed to fill in pre-season. I think both are possible under challenge cup rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if we're adamant that he's not going to make it, we could offer him a settlement on his contract which would offset any contribution Arbroath are making. I'd like to think he still has a chance and he comes back an improved player. Not seen a great deal of him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That all depends on whether or not our current style of play is down to our current midfielders not being good enough or if that's actually how Robbie wants us to play (bypass the middle of the park unless absolutely necessary, with the ball 100% of the time being played wide or long), if it's the latter we could have a midfield two of Veratti and Modric and it wouldn't make a jot of difference.
