Careful development is required. But his own attitude will determine which. He is one up on Cochrane & Hickey, he's a Jambo. I doubt he will sleep tonight. Edited July 20, 2021 by Alec Eiffel Quote

Four faces Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Is it just me? I've watched all the games recently and i can't help thinking that Halket looks like a holding midfielder all day long.He passes well,likes to compete,shows composure on the ball and has good feet.Anyone? Quote

SuperstarSteve Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Nice to see youth getting played. Most of them looking good but this lad stands out, plays with no fear. I’d keep him around until January and if he’s not getting enough game time to develop loan him out. Quote
jamboozy Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Well done young yin, plenty more to follow, I’m sure👍 Quote
David McCaig Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Pollock is by far the most complete young midfielder we have produced in a long time. He has excellent technique, can handle himself physically, blessed with the clichéd good engine and most importantly seems to have a natural ability to ghost into the box. He scored one yesterday and was in the perfect position to score a second 5 minutes later if Gnanduillet had played a better ball. In many ways Pollock is already the player we hoped McAneff would be. Quote

Leveins Battalion Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 How long before “Celtic are keeping tabs on Hearts Wonderkid Pollock”……. Quote
A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Well done to young Finlay for netting his first goal and the fans have been unanimous in the praise for him. Great potential to be involved in our first team and the boy clearly has a great relationship with Neilson. Clearly that has been a big factor in his emergence, as Lee, Irving, Cochrane have made way for Pollock. And he has stepped in front of the older C. Smith in that position as well. So far he looks like capitalizing on the opportunity he has been given by this manager. Start against Inverness and see if he can last the full 90 IMO. Quote

This is a thread to celebrate a young player starting on his football career who has scored his first goal for Hearts. The fact he is a supporter makes it even more special. Well done FP, you have done something most of us have only dreamed about doing. Now go on and fulfill your promise. Very well done Quote
1968 Done over Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Looks a good prospect age should not be a barrier for a first team shot give him 90 mins Quote

How must it feel for a 17yo Hearts fan to score his first competitive goal for the Hearts ? Quote
Weebroon98 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Well done young man, here's hoping we see him develop into a first team regular and make us a fair few quid in about 10 years time Quote
DETTY29 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Could have had a second if he had done a Paul Hartley (or Callum Elliott) and nipped in front of the defender instead of behind, but all part the learning process. Well done again young man. Edited July 21, 2021 by DETTY29 Quote

Penrices left boot Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Like the look of this lad. Unlucky not to score again yesterday. He's always looking to break the lines and get forward. Promising stuff. Quote

He's always looking to break the lines and get forward. Promising stuff. Agree 100%, the lad looks a prospect and is clever with his running of the ball. For me, he has earned his right to a starting place and age should be no barrier if your good enough. Its possible with enough game time this season he could get 10+ goals from midfield. Quote

He should definitely get game time tho, and it's good to know we have a goal threat from him. Quote
PapaShango Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 First time I can remember a midfielder getting into so many scoring positions. He runs all day as well and can put his foot in. I like the look of him and I hope we don't loan him out. Keep him around and get him some minutes on the pitch, certainly doesn't look out of place in the side. Quote
GinRummy Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Looking forward to seeing him in the league. Bags of energy and looks more assured every game. Quote
Ari Gold Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 I like him. Very different to midfielders we've produced lately. Good mobility. Looks like he could possibly play in the front 3 too. Quote
