Riccarton3 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 From highlights: he gets in a decent header from, wait for it, a decent cross and then reacts well to the save getting in another effort. Does well battling in midfield that leads to the equalizer. From what people saying he linked play well. I reckon Neilson will be happy with his effort. Will get another chance on Saturday.

Diego10 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 He played mostly well last night, but did have one bad miss at the start of the 2nd half (not including the offside chance) None of his other chances were that easy, and I was annoyed that Woodburn played such a wide pass after a lovely touch to get himself in on the defence. If he plays like that every game he's a good option to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I mean when I say I’m not sure how many of his chances (and it wasn’t a hatful) Boyce would have put away. That one as an example was played way too wide, did the right thing going across goal but angle was against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canscot Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Woody should have kept going forward and taken a shot using Nando as a decoy for a pass. He had a clear run into the area down the goalies throat. Clearly a player low on confidence, making that wide pass as he did not believe he could score.

I don’t think that’s accurate, if anything Woodburn shoots too often when he should pass. He’s snatching at chances and all outside the box too. We created less when he came on unfortunately as when he got the ball he looked to shoot always. I think he passed it wide to Gnanduillet as he only passed as a last resort when his shot wasn’t on, maybe passed it too late. He’s one that needs a goal to calm him down, as he’s trying too hard if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most of his efforts are low percentage chances resulting in him skying them or drilling them into defenders. He had a clear chance to go one on one with the goalie yesterday and to my mind shat it and made the low percentage play by sliding it out wide to a covered Nando. Then Nando gets abuse for missing.

Diego10 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I thought the pass was the right option, he just slightly overhit it. Wee bit less on it and Gnanduillet is one on one straight through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher75 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Funny we all see it differently. I thought it was a great opportunity to keep going and hit the shot. Based on Gnanduillet's shooting in the warm up, I had much more confidence in Woodburn. That said I was so frustrated with MacKay in the Rangers game when he had the brilliant break but then shot when he could have squared it to Boyce who would pretty much have had a tap in!

upgotheheads Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 We need another striker for sure but Gnando played well last night, and maybe it would be better if he played behind Boyce rather than in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, not for me. Gnando had a good game last night other than the lack of clinical finishing. But it was all about getting into the right positions, he's a front man and should be played there if at all. Wouldn't mind them played up top together. If either dropped in behind then Boyce does that much better. But Gnando needs to be more accurate so it's either front man or back sitting on the bench if he doesn't get some goals for all that good movement and getting on the end of crosses.

Canscot Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Still think Nando needs to be cut some slack. He has been a bit part player at best up until now. He came off the bench and did get into some great positions to score but failed. Rust might be a factor there. Imo he deserves a wee run to get up to speed. Oh aye. And needs some after hours tutoring on the offside rule tae😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 From my viewing of the highlights he could and should have had a hat trick. In his defence, he hasn't had much football and should get sharper with more time on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hardly had a lot of game time so maybe isn't as sharp as he could be, but we have all seen what he is capable of given decent service. He's a different type of player than Boyce and offers us different options. Boyce has only scored 3 goals from open play so far this season. Of the 9 penalties he's taken he's scored 7, so in a goals to minutes played ratio he's not that far ahead of Gnando in the goals from open play stakes. They are both good strikers, they just have different styles, and I wish the 'he's pish' 'he's a huddy' brigade would give it a rest and just get behind the guy when he plays.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I said it before i thought he would point to the lack of game time and I stand by that. He can justifiably ask for 2-3 games to sharpen up. How many 90 minute games has he had since he came here? Not a lot and that’s got to be his first in about 6 months I reckon he will find the net at Pittodrie. I believe there’s more to come from him in a Hearts shirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst example was Gordon kick out which hung in the air, Brown and Gnando both perfectly position for where the ball is going to drop and Brown wins the header. Seriously??? He doesn't seem to go and attack the ball. Great pass for the pen, but other than that offered absolutely nothing, which is a big factor why we were honking in the final third and didn't have a single shot on target from open play.
