My point is, for all their millions - if you have a clever recruitment team/process (and a good youth academy helps) - you don't have to be looking to spend vast amounts on oversees players... although it helps when it comes to wages! Fortunately, we seem to be getting these things right at last. The next 3-4 windows could see us getting closer to the uglies IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC01 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I noticed Joe wright's stats for aerial duals are better than his other defensive stats. Can play in a back 4 on the right. In aback three on the right or center. I didn't check his passing stats yet. Most of the stats were an average in 90 minutes over several games, not game by game. 6ft three inch looks like he'd play in the middle.

I think the coaches are determined that a tune will come out of Woodburn (as am I). It is looking more and more that it isn't going to happen. I was wanting him on for Boyce at HT, he didn’t make a difference when he did come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had him down as a commanding centre back who would win headers, which is what we needed with Halkett being out. And the last thing we needed was another defensive midfield option. I'd imagine he was a Souttar replacement had he left. Now we're trying to find a position for him. On the right, in the centre...it'll be midfield next. Doesn't feel overly thought out. He could be a Haring replacement long term right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say not commanding, gets bullied far too easily. His passing is suspect, seems to get turned a lot and just generally seems to make quite a lot of errors. Maybe he'll improve but not seeing it at all just now with the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to read situations quite well but isn't physical enough, doesn’t compete enough and on the ball he doesn’t look like he can make a forward pass, everything is back or sideways. Worrying.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 He has not had the best start but equally I don’t think it was in the plans for Halkett to be out. Sibbick would otherwise have got a bit more time to settle in, but it’s not been possible. Unfortunately for him he has got off to an awful start and has a job on his hands now to get up to standard.

Played in a pretty poor Hearts team and didn't really stand out. I remember the game against Rangers, he passed more than one square ball out the park about 15 feet in the air. Other than winning headers I don't see what he adds to the current squad. Said it when we were rumoured to be signing him. Not good enough, clear to see - think a few (including our 'football dept') were fooled by that Rangers game where he got himself about and disrupted things, which at the time was hugely appreciated as we were rotten. But it was clear he's not up to the standards we are aiming for. Hope to god he's not our Souttar replacement. Also appears I was being generous suggesting he might win headers.
