Pans Jambo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just now, Barack said: Think they know the nature of the beast. It's up to Stewart to prove in training, that he in fact, is the number two. And whoever is brought in, will have to compete & wait for the (hopefully never) eventuality, if Gordon is out for a period. Gordon's diplomatic enough in interviews to say Cheesy's good enough & he has to maintain top form to keep the number 1 spot. Think most people whose eyes aren't sewn on,know this is just footballing parlance. All the player's suffer from it. What does Walker or McEneff feel like, bringing in proven quality over them? It's upto them, to fight to prove a place in the matchday squad. Same as the goalies.🤷♂️ As it should be. We have had to many "first picks" who wouldn't be good enough for a reserve team over the last few years. Healthy competition brings out the best in players.

I always said the first team outside the Old Firm to get into Europa League groups 'should' start to financially pull away from the other teams. Massive season if this is correct. Massive! Unfortunately it's not correct. At best automatically into conference group stage if falling from the Europa League. Sir Gio read that somewhere.

Hearts1975 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 22 minutes ago, Jack Torrance said: I only saw mention of a "back up" keeper which is exactly the line that should be taken for the reasons just mentioned about Stewart. If Robbie specifically said 3rd choice, I think he's slipped up. Can’t see RN paying for someone who has the quality somewhere between Stewart and Gordon. If HS was a longer term prospect then I wouldn’t say that but he is almost ready Chances are that CG will play every game this season. Out of all outfield players on a football pitch the Keeper probably has the biggest chance of doing so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section s heart Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, Jamiemac said: https://t.co/iivR14EQ2S ANN BUDGE INTERVIEW: following the handover of her shares in the club to the FoH. Speaks about the Working Together document which means nobody can change Major things like the colours, the stadium, the name of the club without the members voting on it. The power of the football fan, committing to minimum of two more years and praise for all the staff at the club. I’ll hold my hands up and say that when the club went into administration I was too young to appreciate how severe the situation was, but yesterday speaking to guys like Stuart Wallace, it really hit home how differently this could’ve panned out… Will have a Stuart Wallace interview up tomorrow, also Joe Savage, Eva Olid, Gary Halliday and Andrew McKinlay to follow later in the week. As for deadline day I’d expect just the one new arrival, they seem certain about getting an attacker in the door. Backup GK is wanted too, but a bit quieter on that front. Youngsters can still depart on loan after today’s window, that’s the plan for them. Reads appreciated Thanks Jamie. Hadn't previously seen the bit about 150 new pledges yesterday alone. Based on average current pledges at £16 pm that would be another £2400. Every penny counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah OK so something along the lines of if you make it to the Europa final qualifying round then lose, you drop into the Conference. Still, conference would be a big thing financially but not quite the Europa. Although looking at some of the English and Spanish sides that can end up in the Conference you could get some tasty away fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cup winners or 3rd if 1st/2nd win cup go into the Europa League play off round, which means at worst a drop into Conference League Group Stages and 2.7 million just to turn up. Cash then awarded for points and maybe goals scored too, I seem to recall.

Pans Jambo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 5 minutes ago, Barack said: Of course it is. I don't care whose feelings get hurt. And if a player is and can't respond to that, & show Hearts they're worthier of a place, then toodles quite frankly. Walker's now about 5th choice midfielder. Does he want to fight, or go out and get games? McEneff the same. The goalie situation will take care of itself, imo. Quite sad when you see Walker coming on as a sub and then not grabbing his opportunity. Always looks knackered after 10 mins to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomethingAboutObua Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 35 minutes ago, AllyjamboDerbyshire said: As I said, I am sure Stewart is aware of that, just that it won't help him confidence wise to hear his manager announcing it publicly, which is why, in my opinion, Neilson is saying we are looking for a 3rd choice keeper. If I'm wrong, then we probably are looking for a 3rd choice keeper, someone that Stewart is better than! I dont think so tbh, looking at his wiki he was first choice for Albion Rovers and backup every where else. I think a lot of goalkeepers are well aware that they won't be able to be first choice for their careers and are happy to have a career as a backup, especially somewhere like Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything Jamie isn't anymore. I don't think there's a Hearts fan in recent season's not crying out for that. Now we've put the pieces into place, with more to go, then the writing is on the wall. Sentimentality will grant you so much goodwill. Even Walker's got to see the writing on the wall, once his contracts up in May. Football is a brutal career. Its 100% every time and no hiding place anymore. Hearts WERE the place you came to retire and hide with very little effort recently. Glad we have moved on from that. Amazing what 1 season in the Championship and a change of management level staff can do. Onwards and upwards. Sorry for players like Walker but that's just the way it is now and I am so glad of it.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 3 minutes ago, Sir Gio said: Surprised at Partick doing this, rotating keepers is not good for defences I ever feel. But for us, it gives Harry plenty of game time without too much. Nevertheless probably not ready just quite yet to cover Craig, hope this year brings him on, physically and mentally I think it can be a mountain out of a molehill, it depends on the club doesn't it. Probably not at Hearts where there's high pressure and big crowds. At a Partick or Hamilton type of club, young players get a bit more leeway and there's less of a "crash" if you're dropped from the team, because you'll get back in. The 2 of them both have good ability to be first team keepers at a championship club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what Stewart knows, Neilson might well have felt it better not to publicly downgrade him and was merely showing him some respect. I said this as the only alternative reason for Neilson saying he wanted a third choice keeper would be that he was, indeed, wanting a third choice keeper, which no one on here (including me) appears happy with.
