GinRummy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 38 minutes ago, Rogue Daddy said: I get where you're coming from.... for me it's that run of poor performances which culminated in the Brora and QoS results where the majority of us wanted RN gone but there was nothing from the board - dejavu if you like - eerily similar to the CL situation. It, again, felt like no matter how bad things were getting, nothing would change. To my knowledge we've still not heard from the board about those games. Yes, we got better (possibly due to a discussion with JS - as I learned earlier), we've won the league - so, for the time being, RN is still our manager. But it's the 'once-bitten-twice-shy' effect that, I think, has us wound up most. The feeling of sleep walking down the same path as before. Not taking action until it's too late. I think/hope the board realise they have to get the next couple of signings bang on.... they're going to be crucial. They need our ST money, and the team need us on board right from the first whistle next season. I certainly hope we score first in our first home game - if we don't, RN and the team won't get a chance. RN is here for the start of next season, and the team will get my full support... I seriously hope it doesn't go downhill quick, and that the booing doesn't start the first half of the first game. Your first paragraph sums it up well. Hopefully, as you go on to say, the board gets it bang on fro here on in. Patience is now wafer thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecky92 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If we managed to get Dunne that would be very good. back 3 of souttar dunne and halket with smith and Kingsley wing backs, then Gordon in goal. I’d go as far as saying second best defence in the league next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When nielson left, we were 2nd in the league, on the back of having beaten rangers. I don’t care what factors people like to believe as to what the reasons were - we were sitting second top half way through the season. That’s some feat for “boring negative football”. We were as good as we were going to be. Once he left, we declined under Cathro and Levein, and that wasn’t because we were already heading that way (I agree some of the football was boring, but we were still beating teams by some margin too), that was because they weren’t very good. Cathro s flops played a lot in that, as well as Leveins. You are entirely right of course. More difficult for Neilson this time after so many poor years. Tolerance levels are lower than when Cathro took over is my only point. No denying how poor cathro was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batistuta87 Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Kilmarnock look like they're in some serious trouble. As it stands, they'll have just four players in contract for next season. Anyone here that we'd take @ Hearts? Apart from Tshibola, obviously 😁😉 I'd probably take Kiltie too...

So they never spent 3 seasons in the championship then? It's hilarious when the " let's turn everything negative" crew ignore basic facts. I can accept Neilson could and maybe should have been sacked for the Brora result and his cup results in general are poor. Why can't others accept that despite the pub league claims and how shit it is, 3/4 " big" teams have struggled to get promoted so it's maybe not as pish as some like to think and although we should never be getting demoted or relegated, pissing the league is an achievement and overall the Bobmeister has pretty impressive league form for us. The lengths folk go to play down the championship win is only bettered by those who play down his 3rd place finish in the top flight. It's excruciating. Folk say it didn't count as Rangers and hibs were in the lower division, does that mean that Rangers unbeaten season is down graded because they never played us or hibs 3rd place finish will be shite for them- Naw, didnae think so. The twists and lengths folk go to, in on order play down any success we have is beyond belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubting the guys heart and willingness , and while we need to up in the ante in all avenues, quality is a priority imo.

I’d like to see more players really playing for the jersey. RCs commitment and work rate was good, it was just his quality that let him down. He’s had a few seasons to mature and now he’s coming off the back of scoring 1 in 3 for Accies. That is a bloody good scoring rate for a midfielder. I don’t think this is a bad signing. He’s free, knows the league, the club and is in his prime. Not a player we’re going to make money on but will be easy to deal with and will be starting with a chip on his shoulder with a point to prove.

There are ST's to sell at some point, and Hearts fans seem generally miserable. Fans aren't buying into Neilson or the board, so the signings become all the more vital.

Well done the club 5 years ago. This season the leagues full of shite and we lost our two cup games to Alloa and Broara. It's not been a successful season. The bear minimum has been done. It would be the equivalent next year of finishing 6th and losing in the cup to the above teams. You always compare your achievements to your rivals too and it doesn't help the other side of the city have finished 3rd in the top league and are in the Cup Final on Saturday.

kingantti1874 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Tin hat on - I like players like Callachan. 100% effort every minute of every game. When you are in a dogfight exactly the sort of player you need who won’t let you down. Doesn’t have the most quality but has the most heart. I think every team should have one or 2 of those players available for when needed. Currently we don’t have any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll add a goal threat, but he's just a bit shite overall. Shame, if he was even average, with his knack for breaking the lines and getting the odd goal he could have been really effective and as you say a Hearts fan to boot.
