Pasquale for King Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 4 minutes ago, Gulf Jambo said: Same style of play yeah, but different systems. Chelsea alternative between a back 3 or 4. Man City always have a back 4 (in theory), but midfield & attack set up differs hugely Some teams do stick to a set 11 and get success, but competition is good for squad, especially at our level. Pretty much agree with what you say about players, although I think we'll see Logan & Pollock push into that as well. Hopefully McEneff cones through as well Rangers & Celtic haven't started well, just going on past experience that they will get their act together at some point. Still think Europe has to be the aim, let's see where the league is at by January. Could be an interesting & competitive year if it stays this way Yeah teams definitely have changes in formation and players obviously, I would like to see ya go with that team I listed and see where it takes us. It’s looking even more competitive than it usually is, Motherwell should’ve been top today because Rangers goal was offside.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also don't agree with people saying we should expand our ground, don't you see that people are giving specific reasons as why they would like this and how it would be beneficial to our club, like for revenue etc being able to afford better players, better hospitality etc, having a bigger ground than both Aberdeen and Hibs. I could name 12-15 in both OF squads who would walk into our first 11. Having said that they’re not performing well so far and if they keep stuttering and we could just get a run going and build a gap, which we’ve done before, they might have trouble clawing it back Edited September 20, 2021 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Willie Bauld's testimonial and I watched a few of the late late 50's team in their declining years but the next 20 years were pretty dire, notwithstanding that we had some good players in that time. The years under Bobby Parker'chairmanship were desperate and the directorship of the club was hopeless even in the fifties, how does anyone explain the selling of the likes of Dave Mackay and Alex Young when the club were playing in front of 20-30 thousand every week; I have my own theories. However it's clubs like Aberdeen and H1b5 that we are measured against and except for Aberdeen's Ferguson years I think our record is better than theirs. I don’t even want to think of last season when Rangers won the league and St Johnstone won the League Cup and the Scottish Cup and never mind Alloa and Brora stuffing us in the cups. This season is what it’s all about and 6 games into the season we’ve thrown away 6 points to 3 teams that are worse than average. We have the players but we are led and controlled by an incompetent management. This is the 2021-22 season let’s get our act together because it’s about time we did.

That is the third game in a row he has been substituted and my understanding from what I hear being said is it is a problem with his calves possibly, and I'm not sure if it is the sort of problem that just hard training will put right. I think he done all right yesterday but I still think/hope there may be another gear to go up yet. Might still be going through growing pains. Still hasn't got his full adult body yet.

Riccarton3 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 14 hours ago, EIEIO said: Agree to a large extent. I've followed Hearts from 1971 the frustration for me over the past 5 years is we are no longer a financial basket case so, should have achieved more than mediocrity. Our player recruitment issue seems to have been resolved to a large degree this season so the manager has the right tools to do the job. We will see if he is up to the job after 2 rounds of fixtures. So far so good for me (despite the 3 draws that with some luck could have been 3 wins). There was a 10 year period where any work was undermined by a new idea from one of the competition of paying players with no tax liabilities. Add classic officialdom in plain sight and everyone has had to adjust and accept the unacceptable; stay in what is without question not much to do with sport. Admittedly, the club has under- achieved but never had stability until now probably since 50s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julienbrellier Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Neilson is doing a great job this season and the league is looking competitive. We look much more settled and of course it’s due to excellent recruitment. I still think we must must find our first 11 soon and play them every match as much as we can. It’s the key to going on a run and building confidence in this league. For me it would be: Gordon Souttar. Halkett. Kingsley smith/Moore. Devlin Beni. Cochrane Ginelly.

Romulus Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Overall it’s been a positive start to the season and think we’ve shown enough to prove we can challenge for Europe this season. The main areas of concern at the moment for me are needing another striker (think we should have kept hold of Henderson as back-up), lack of back up for the right back position which has led to players out of position and the formations not really suiting a number 10 role. We have several players who are ideal for the number 10 however, the systems played haven’t allowed for that and I feel that link between the midfield and attack is missed at times, particularly in the derby and Aberdeen home games. Hopefully Logan can get a run at RB when he is fit and add some much needed pace to that side of the defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC01 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Just watched the game from Alba. Woodburn booked for a dive, ref is a clueless ass. Goal kick given to county on 89 minutes when devlin forced the county player to knock the ball out. Lino flags for a goal kick, another ass. Right in front of him, no visual obstructions. Apart from that, two good goals for us, other chances saved by their keeper, some chances wasted. They could've had several goals as well though. That Gordon kick with his right foot that left the goal bare for the county player to score, was a big scare. Souttar saving one near the end. Callachan nearly tapping one in that went just over the right corner. There's a lot for the manager to fix. I think Beni on his own is a problem. Some crossing to sort out. Some defending to sort. Wasn't too bad a match. Could've been better with a win obviously. Need to bounce back better. I'm not worried about Livi or motherwell after their results. Dundee United beat rangers at home then we rolled in and done them 0-2. Will still be tough though. Back to 343 or a 4231. Still think 433 is a good idea.

The linesman (a Michael Van Gerwen mini-me in his green top) gave a free-kick against Devlin which was an incredible made up decision right in front of us. Not seen the offside a minute later but that looked made up as well. Saw Craig Gordon giving him a proper dressing down at half-time so maybe that came back to haunt us. The Devlin booking was just ridiculous. Could see from 100 yards away he lost his balance stretching for the ball when it was slightly behind him. Or at least that’s how it looked. No claim for any infringement either. David Dickinson is a Bargain Hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mitch which Managers have we had since 1958 who did not incur the wrath of some/most/all of the fans because some/most/all of these fans thought he was crap because we played poorly , played players who should never be in the team or got tactics all wrong as far as some/most/all were concerned. I can only think of one…Burley, who in his short time played really exciting, high tempo fitba, had great players throughout the squad and got great results. Please let me know who you think (other than Burley) has managed this in your 62 years of watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The linesman (a Michael Van Gerwen mini-me in his green top) gave a free-kick against Devlin which was an incredible made up decision right in front of us. Not seen the offside a minute later but that looked made up as well. Saw Craig Gordon giving him a proper dressing down at half-time so maybe that came back to haunt us. The Devlin booking was just ridiculous. Could see from 100 yards away he lost his balance stretching for the ball when it was slightly behind him. Or at least that’s how it looked. No claim for any infringement either. David Dickinson is a Bargain Hunt! What about Woodburn's booking wtf was that for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you've missed it, we are currently 2nd equal in the league after playing 3 of the top 4 from last season. Can't really see how everyone connected to the club are suffering? They will and the answer is to stop it from happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your not happy with that it'll be a miserable time supporting Hearts. You've supported us since the 50s but not happy with top 4... WOW fair play for sticking at it all those years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
