Walker is one of, if not thee most talented player in our squad imo. I have no knowledge of what is going on at training or inside the club but this is where his issues lie - not on his ability. It is a shame as there is clearly something up and it is highly frustrating as he is so very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloustonHMFC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, Sir Gio said: I watch Leeds a lot, all I can say for the moment is we seem to be trying to do some things that are very very similar. The concern, though this is not a criticism, Robbie isn't Bielsa, and the players have to be prepared to be the fittest team in the League to make it work well. Otherwise you will be shredded. Its a bold move though it seems from Neilson, I dont think he is looking at defensive mids at all, but ones that can cover the pitch I've also watched loads of Leeds in recent seasons and I agree which is also why I believe Robbie says Walker isn't fit enough yet even if Walker tries to say he is.

He gives 100% every time he steps on the park for us and contributes in some way every game. I can't blame the guy for a loving a team as much as I love Hearts, even if I hate said team to the core. He can love who he likes but could maybe leave the professional rangers fan gig until after he finishes playing. I don't mind him as a player but he isn't great and he has often looked quite poor.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 1 minute ago, Thumb Up Emoji said: he's definitely looking at players who can over-run teams. which will work really well if we get fitness levels up, I reckon. GMS already looks way fitter/sharper. for instance. People are also assuming we will play the same formation each game. Naturally we will have 2/3 formations we rotate and will utilise players accordingly. Yip, thats another resemblance, players cant play one position, they have to be able to adapt before and during games, you need to be versatile, this seems better thought out than I dared hope for in truth, but, but its early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccjambo1874 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Be interested to see if there were any plans to move McEneff in to the RWB role perhaps. I'm sure he had played there in Ireland and deputised there for the Brora debacle - which isn't promising. But with some training and coaching there's nothing to suggest he might benefit from it. Decent delivery and has a good engine on him. The only concern would be how good he is defensively. Edit: I am aware Michael Smith is first choice in that role currently. However its a long season and he may fill in at CB or get injured himself. Edited August 5, 2021 by Ccjambo1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bold move though it seems from Neilson, I dont think he is looking at defensive mids at all, but ones that can cover the pitch I’ve seen a lot of Leeds since they returned to the EPL and they’re a brilliant team to watch. The downfall with their style is they’re just as likely to concede 3 or 4 as score 3 or 4. They do seem to have tweaked the system from January onwards but the start of the season was insane, sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton were credited with an interest, reputation seems to be a lot higher than the latest recruits from the region. But the proof of the pudding is in the eating My worry is that players that come from the 2 Leagues I mentioned, look good in their natural habitat but rarely seem to adjust to the Scottish Premiership. Having said that, some of the previous signings have been the dictionary definition of "journeymen" so I'm hoping for better here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to pick up gems from the LOI & the A League. Our track record hasn't been great so hoping this guy bucks the trend. I can't say how it'll turn out, but Devlin at least seems to be getting very good reviews. I'm pretty sure the opposite was the case for Bozanic and Garuccio.

hisnameis Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Cant believe people are saying Halliday contributes far more than Haring. You just have to look at the difference when him and Souttar came back in at the end of last season. Also the impact he had when coming on last weekend. For me, and I know it is all about opinions, Peter Haring is miles ahead of Halliday. He is a physically and technically far better. He is more effective in the air and a better tackler and passer. Tanking about like a radge and clattering folk does note make a midfielder for me. Halliday was a lucky boy to stay on the park after his challenge on Mc Gregor which would have finished it had he been sent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halliday is good for a goal with a pretty decent left peg, Haring is good at winning balls and passing it well, chips in from set pieces. I prefer Haring in truth but as a left sided midfielder not a central one, Halliday has value, just not as a first pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
