A lot of what's been posted above is just wishful thinking - nothing wrong with aiming high so long as optimism is based on something real. Despite winning the league comfortably, last season feels like such a mixed bag with very little in the way of exciting football. Until we see who Hearts are signing, is there any reason right now to think Hearts will be top 4, top 6, 10th ? The Brora & Alloa results showed just how fragile we can be.

No because 1. You can't buy class 2. I hate them, 3. They have an agenda, and only want the Glasgow two to be challenging for the major honours. What bongo 1874 wants? The best Heart of Midlothian for all of us. Honesty with the fans, that pump millions in, even in the best and hard times?. A club the fans can be proud of, a manager / coach that the fans can connect with. A clear path the youth can see if they work hard and dedicate themselves to there craft, they will be rewarded with first team minutes and game time. The very best Heart of Midlothian we can be.

I find it incredible Armand, GMS, Logan all turned up match fit when they signed oh wait 🤔🤔. But we couldn't play youth players because of the covid situation, really Hearts, yeah you willing to back that Robbie? Hearts? Before you made a bigger ass of yourself you may want to remove the pre seasons friendlys from last year 🤔👀. GMS and Gnando did not turn up match fit, GMS in particular needed games. Logan I'm unsure off,but he looked knackered first couple of games. We could play youth players if they we good enough, Irving and Henderson got runs, the rest were not good enough for sustained runs in the team. If they were only playing the odd game because there was no reserve football they wouldn't have maintained match fitness. Finally, maybe guys like Moore wanted to move for a better chance of first team football and a more secure future and didn't want to stay at Hearts, not play much and be binned the following year. 8 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Spot on, they were as fit as anyone else at the start of the season and if he had any intention of playing them they could’ve been with the squad. They weren’t sitting around the house either, they were in training. Guys like Moore, Cochrane, Logan etc couldn't hold down a place at other clubs. Our best prospect Irving struggled to make any consistent impact with us yet you want a team of made up of this quality, cracking stuff.

Nope, they struggle because they aren't good enough to get ahead of players like Haring, Haliday, McEneff, Lee, Gino, GMS etc. The youth aren't good enough. The discussion of the validity and set up of our entire youth system is a separate discussion and not one Robbie can be blamed for. Robbie not picking the same starting line up was a problem for me first time round, but irrelevant in regards to youth. Moore, Cochrane etc even Irving aren't all that good and definitely not players that would push us on to 3rd/ 4th in the league. If we can get a stable team at the top end then it will be a better environment for youth to be introduced and imo that is very important. If Robbie can get us winning most games at Tynecastle, get us in about 3rd, basically replicate his form on promotion last time them youth can be introduced in a better, more relaxed, less pressurised environment. For example- coming on when 2/3 nil up or on a good run. We haven't been there since we ended up in 6th and essentially had 5 dead rubbers to play before the 1-2 final . Even this year, there was pressure on Robbie to win every game even after promotion was guaranteed ( largely brought on by himself for the Broro result), but even then the better youth prospects were out on loan for game time So couldn't play for us. We'll play youth if they are good enough and give them a chance , Brandon, Hickey, Irving, Henderson prove that. We'll also send some other guys out on loan, Stone, Logan, Cochrane so that they play more and hopefully return the better for it or otherwise they will leave.

Ex member of the SaS Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Got to this late due to being away for a few days. However I would expect us to challenge for first place. Little chance of getting there, but not trying is not an option. Every club should have this ambition at the start of the season, anything less is a defeatist attitude. Celtic appear to be all at sea just now and we should be looking to take advantage of any slipups. We have wasted years by buying duff players and we should be looking to build a squad of good to very good squad players with a smattering of great players. We should also be bringing on youth unlike a previous manager that only brought through one player at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm a grown up adult and also a full time father and husband. If I let Hearts defeats impact my personal life I'd quit following them. My money goes into them and I'm emotionally invested for a few hours but after that I join society again. If you get that emotionally involved with anything, whether that be work, sport, a hobby (gambling, gaming, drinking) that it effects other parts of your life then you have issues, especially if it makes you angry or sad or "ruins your weekend" When I was younger I got a bit worked up, but then I grew up and realised life is more than football. Whether you call such folk full time supporters will not bother them in the slightest, because they'll be happy with other parts of their life and not give a hoot if other supporters class them as ft or otherwise.
