Texia Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 He's had a good start to the campaign, after watching him last season and the start of this he has so many qualities that I didn't realise when he was at County. I thought he was just a goalscorer however his hold up and link up play are tremendous, and he's strong too. If the front three of Boyce GMS and Ginnelly clicks it could be devastating.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Keep saying it, Gordon Souttar Haring (though not his best today) GMS Boyce some real quality.

Yep. It is crazy how long it is since a Hearts player scored 20 goals in a season. The league cup group stage gives strikers an opportunity to get off to a flying start. Really pleased Boyce has taken that chance. Throw in a goal against ICT and a hat-trick against Celtic and it will be looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Hearts, Ross County and Cliftonville he has managed 1 in 2, only dipped at Burton with 1 in 3/4. I'm also a bit excited about him and how many he could score if given the service and with the Hearts support behind him. Certainly don't think there is a better goalscorer outwith the OF.

Cruyff Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 He will most likely score 15 goals this year and lay on another 5 or 6. That's maybe a bit conservative in some folks eyes but probably more realistic given he is stepping up from last season. It shouldn't just fall on him to get goals though. Our best scoring midfielder I'm guessing is Andy Halliday who has 4 goals since he arrived? I think we need others to chip in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbert. Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If we never played slow sideways/backpasses he could easily score 20 and assist in more.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 He is an absolute bomber up front. Has the potential to have a fantastic season if he stays in this frame of mind. A lot of fans are asleep to the goalscoring quality we have got all throughout the team. If we can just add that extra bit of class at CM and CB we are all set to spring a few surprises. Maybe we will do a Leicester. Boycey to be our Vardy, Mackay-Steven our Mahrez. That wee flick and cool finish was reminiscent of them 2. And in Halliday we have already got an absolute Kante in midfield... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not think a decent manager could make a team capable of winning with Zlamal, White, Brandon Berra,Lee, Damour, Naismith Wighton, Henderson etc? Them and a few youngsters is more than capable of winning promotion, every season its the same excuses. The rot at the club starts at the top.

The difference between us and the likes of England or most other teams is that we are not good enough to play that way. We struggle to sting 3passes together at times, the players never move into space to receive the ball and were not quick enough to hit teams on the break. Our players spend 90% walking about.

I'd say that's because he's a more rounded player now, more of an unselfish team player, who drops deep, links play etc.. He was more of a poacher then.
