Almost every ‘Robbie out’ poster on here has never been personal towards him.

It was as ridiculous then as it is now from some of the same people still picking fault in winning performances because it was never in doubt that we would start well. Neilson has started every season as Hearts manager very well. There was every reason to believe he'd do the same again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cant have the knives out after every set back. Right now were building and making progress. Long may it continue! Also thats brilliant that your son is buzzing and enjoying being a jambo! I believe the season I fell in love with Hearts was 05/06 I was 9 years old! I specifically remember the game too. We beat celtic 3-0 in the sunshine at Tynecastle.

OTT Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Definitely a solid start by him, I'm a little frustrated watching us back off when we go a goal up, did it against Aberdeen and were punished for it. Dundee Utd obviously aren't Aberdeen but its a mindset thing we need to get out of. Wins against St Mirren and Dundee Utd away gives me a lot of confidence though, two very difficult places to go, so its encouraging to see. Once Woodburn, Moore and Devlin are properly integrated into the system I can see us giving out some proper doings this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t understand how people can have such entrenched views about a manager who has been so consistent in the league every season for us. And his recruitment this season is night and day compared to the last few seasons. Beni for example could be our best signing for many a year. Up there with souttar and gordon, also Neilson signings. It’s a while since you could look at a hearts squad and not see a single player who needs binned.

I genuinely believe we have the better team right now There's no "potential" about it. We now have an exciting team with quality right across the park. The Savage one is due a lot of credit for sourcing players but RN is the architect. 4 straight wins!! The football we played was awesome today. Totally outclassed DU for most of the game and RN deserves to take credit for that. He did, as you say, put the 442 handbrake on and tipped the game in DU's favour. Fair play to him tho', he changed it back when he brought Moore on. Now that's what I call good management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players hes signing are mostly high temp, dynamic and direct types, certainly in mid and up front. We’re playing an attacking formation is most games. And it’s working so far. Not sure what more to ask for, other than being more clinical in front of goal and improving our crossing.

Randy Marsh Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Fair play to Neilson though. I honestly thought we would be sitting with 2 points max at this stage. That is 4 very tough fixtures out the way. I still have my doubts about his set up and believe he needs to be more positive especially when we play the teams currently occupying the bottom 4. We should be aiming for 3rd now and hopefully Neilson can do this. Huge incentive as we would be guaranteed European group stage football next season (I think).

simplesimon Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I actually think our football is fine.

Delivering silverware is the acid test but sadly I can't see it with "Big Bob". It was supposedly all about the cups this season until we botched getting seeded and yet another tilt at the league cup went up in smoke. Delighted with the start in the league though, would have snapped your hand off for that before a ball was kicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
