CJGJ Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 For me there has been too much talking about what we can do this season from players and coaching staff This is a test to see if it's all bravado or whether there is genuine substance to the claims A bit of me thinks maybe we should display a more confident approach than in recent seasons and a bit perhaps from past experience thinks I'd rather we just kept quiet pre match. On the plus side if we truly are improving and the ambitions of the coaching staff prove to be accurate we may be in for a decent season or two. So maybe it's time to show a bit more faith starting with tomorrow but let's not kid ourselves any away match will not be easy I think we can win this one but I doubt it will be a clear cut victory that a few seem to think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly the point was about how, we’ve said Hearts have had the harder start and that’s true. But now it is time for us to back that up. Need to do the business against the bottom 2 and show our quality in front of goal because there will be chances. None of this conserving a 1-0 advantage, that leaves you vulnerable to a 1-1 draw. We need to take multiple chances and put these games to bed. Agree with everything you've said here, I've been pretty vocal about our team's willingness to sit in on a 1-0 lead. Warning, total baseless speculation below: Judging from Neilson's hand waving and frustration I can only surmise that it's not what he wants out of his players and isn't a conscious tactical decision. I've got a feeling he's trying to train them to move and form themselves up in a specific manner when they start scoring goals but the result of this is the players falling into too much of a defensive position, maybe it just hasn't fully clicked with them yet.

PhoenixHearts Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I think with Smith being an injury doubt this may be the perfect game to see if Gino, McEneff or even Barrie McKay can fill in to play a more attacking wing back role. Liking the idea of starting Woodburn and Boyce in behind Gnando. There’s goals to be had with that front 3. Once again (for the millionth time) Haring isn’t getting dropped. He just played arguably his best game of the season. Not only is he a bigger body but County are going to sit in and Haring is one of the better players at finding the right pass to break through. Loving him and Beni together. Devlin will get his chance but our starting mids are playing well so what’s the rush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_92 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Please no to the centre-back playing at RWB shouts. It's an important attacking position in the 3-4-3 and although Smith isn't suited to it either he's at least willing to get into the right positions. If he's out then we need to give Logan a shot, or change formation, or be a bit more ambitious with our selection there (e.g. try McEneff/Devlin/Ginnelly/whoever). Of course the best thing we could have done was sign an actual RWB, but that moment has passed. Edited September 18, 2021 by DC_92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if Boyce started on the bench with Devlin starting either tbh. I'd go for Gordon Souttar Halkett Cochrane McKay Beni Kingsley Woodburn Mackay-Steven Gnando Boyce Gino's form doesn't deserve a start, although keen to see him do well - assuming McKay is not fully fit, maybe Gino gets a run for the last 30 mins when Ross County hopefully tiring. We don't have a RWB. Smith isn't it. Maybe putting McKay and Woodburn together as above is the best way we've got to cover it and still play this formation? Not sure if Pollock or McEneff could fill it, but similarly feels like square pegs in round holes. Agree also with comments that Boyce hasn't looked great, despite scoring (and that's a classic Kickback critique but true). I'd play him for a while yet, and particularly today against his old club, but maybe pushing Woodburn up front and putting in McEneff is an option; I'd like to see McEneff been given a run of games to see if he really has something.

Francis Albert Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 I hope we don't go into the game with the old "it's a difficult place to go" mindset. And while the priority is obviously the points Hearts of all teams should always keep an eye on goal difference (or average as was). A 2 goal win should be par for us for this game.
