Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 49 minutes ago, Debut 4 said: So much for these players we should sign that are happy to sit on the bench. Exactly. Bjorn Jonsson took a while to get going at Hearts. When he did his career took off. Not saying this is true as it's the internet, but any player expecting to walk into the side, especially in a team doing well without him, can do one.

Taffin Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 If he's walked out, hopefully he gets his act together and whatever has caused it gets ironed out and we all move on as team. If he hasn't (which I suspect) then great 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillmanHearts Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Nothing against the lad personally, but I haven’t seen anything from him so far to convince me he’s a decent fit for us. The mantra : “ get the ball in the box he will score” turned out to be pish. As an example, there were umpteen crosses into box at the Brora game and our lad won feck all v a postie and a mechanic. Maybe best that there is a parting of the ways. No offence to the boy. Just one of these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re paying that much for a striker who looking at his stats is unproven at this level at 25 years old, then we really are stupid. Get a loan in until summer, see how Shankland goes under Coutts and get him on a pre contract. Unfortunately gives me the vibe of Dennis Wyness about him.

Ernie Eskilsson Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 2 hours ago, WDJ87 said: You suggested the formation that everyone spent a season moaning about and quite rightly so. We were turgid playing a 4-2-3-1. I thought maybe it was dry humour Nothing wrong with the 4231 formation. Problem previously was key players missing or out of form plus too many long balls bypassing the midfield. With Haring fit alongside Beni we have a solid base in front of the defence. The full backs can bomb on and dropping to 2 central defenders allows us to play a 10 behind Boyce. Need to find a good 10 tho and we need to play thru the midfield.
