Saint Jambo Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Good to see Henderson on the scoresheet. He'd be a notable absence from the scorers in some of the other high scoring friendlies. If he is to make it as a centre forward, he needs to be clinical. Good also to see Walker manage 45minutes a day after play 30minutes in a competitive game. I'm still hopeful his reported knee issues can be managed in a way that allows him to contribute significantly this season. Interesting to see Stone play. Presumably he is on a development loan that allows him to continue training with us part-time. With Partick being full-time, I assumed he would basically be with them throughout.

Walker and most of the senior pros hardly put anything into the game for the first half hour, at which point GFR was giving as good as they got. Henderson was his usual frustrating self, getting into good positions but with a low conversion rate. He needs to work on improving his left foot in general play.

Footballfirst Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I've heard that Hearts have three friendlies lined up for next week. I assume that they are reserve/youth fixtures. Mon - Chelmsford City, Wed - Leicester City and Fri - Man Utd. I don't know the venues/ko times yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've heard (not guaranteed) is that tomorrow's game is at Ainslie Park with a 10.30 am ko, and Friday is at the Oriam at 5pm, but I haven't had those details confirmed. Man Utd is bringing up their U18S and U23s and are basing themselves at the Oriam. They have another game lined up for Thursday against Hibs.

I see that Chelmsford City got cuffed 5-1 by Spartans yesterday (and their academy team lost 5-0 to Spartans academy team). Actually a bit surprised by that - I’d have thought National League South in England would be up to Lowland League standards but perhaps they are an earlier stage of pre-season.

Footballfirst Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Hearts v Man Utd U18s 0-0 at ht. Only playing 40 mins then 2 x 15 mins at 9 a side on a short pitch. McFarlane Aitken Rathie Flatman Beagley Gordon Denholm Tait Sandilands Kirk Hambrook Man Utd better on the ball but Hearts competing well. McFarlane has made a couple of great saves and they also hit the bar. Kirk came closest for Hearts with an attempted lob over the keeper.

Footballfirst Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Half time 0-1 Raith scored with the last kick of the half. Hearts have created nothing. The whole management team are watching and won't be impressed by anyone. Pollock went of injured after 30 mins to be replaced by Denholm.

Footballfirst Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Rick Sanchez said: Haring, McEneff or Gnando doing anything of note? Haring would probably get 5 out of 10. The other pair wouldn't have troubled the scorers. I think Gnando thought he would only be playing 45 mins, by the way he threw off his boots at HT. However he probably got a bollocking and was told he was staying on, as he showed a bit more energy for 10 minutes. He was subbed along with Haring after an hour, immediately following Raith's second. Raith was well organised and Hearts were lacking ideas in how to break them down. Smith went closest with a shot off the post while it was 1-1, but barring a couple of pressurised clearances Hearts rarely threatened. Flatman's goal was a header from a Watson free kick out on the right. The most vocal person on or off the field was Steven Naismith, although all his attention seemed to be on Henderson, who captained the side. Walker was out injured with an ankle knock and both McGill and Pollock were injured during the game.
