Anyone know why Boyce is not in the squad?

I’d take a guess at Covid

[saxondale]

This is either going to be a masterstroke from Robbie, or an utter failure.

 

Fingers crossed its the former.

[Newton51]

Covid could be to blame for missing players

[SomethingAboutObua]

Halliday starting ahead of Cochrane is bizarre against literally any team in Scotland in any formation for us unless he's a CM? 

 

Woodburn starting cf/false 9 type thing? 

[GinRummy]

Would imagine it would be this?

Gordon

souttar Halkett Kingsley

Moore Haring Devlin Halliday

GMS Woodburn McKay 

I think it’s that. 4-3-3 with three defensive mids would be lunacy with McEneff on the bench.

GMS and Woodburn will go missing here. This is a tough physical team we’re up against and neither are up for it. Can’t see where we get a goal from today unless McKay finally clicks.

 

Glaring selection errors all over the shop IMO. 

The tinker is at it again, he cant help himself.

 

Halliday over Cochran is utter stupidity..  

 

Hear Nelson on the radio this morning, he is already touting out the lines of, pitch conditions and the fecking wearther..

No Boyce makes me worried,   Really hope Woodburn takes his chance today,  actually think he might be better further up the park.   Surprised at Cochrane though, has been so consistent all season,  had one poor game and seems to be out of favour…I wonder if he’s carrying a knock.    Don’t think it will be easy today,  but e should bring back the 3 points. 

I think he has played Halliday as he can slot in the middle to insure we don’t get overloaded. 
 

Personally I would have played Cochrane as if we don’t have enough in the middle of the park to beat a depleted Dundee team we’re in trouble.

Dundee only 5 subs it looks like - could get interesting if they have injuries

 

Changed days, never used to think that when it was only 2 subs allowed.

Woodburn up front? 

with GMS

Clear as you like now!

 

 

 

Would have been gutted if this was off as I've just settled down on the sofa for it 😃

[Four faces]

Our back three has been more prolific than todays front three.Let's hope we put that right today.

[Hansel]

Hearts nil today with that line-up 

[Hearts007]

Interesting line up lets hope they do the business

[King prawn]

Not our strongest but look at them - this Hearts team should be beating that Dundee line up if we are serious about improving. 

[lost in space]

When you look at the bench, there is no obvious guys I would start. Some may prefer Cochrane but Halliday will battle harder, which may be what manager thinks he needs.

I would have played McEneff today.

Difficult to see where goals are coming from - so looks as though GMS is our main hope - FFS!!!

Goals in second half from us from subs bench???

Hearts are depleted as well by the look of it.

Robbie picking his weegie mate Halliday over the far superior Cochrane. Bizarre.

Ye don’t get that one to be honest. Think cochrane is a far better player 

[hisnameis]

Not quite sure why Woodburn and Halliday in the squad let alone the team. Both were brutal in their last outings. Would rather see Cochrane and McEneff on in their places.

Really don’t understand that one (assuming he’s playing as a left WB).

[scott herbertson]

I'm going for 2-0 

 

Halliday and Woodburn

 

😈

[Ford Prentice]

I just want to put it on record that I like GMS and I think he'll be our main man today.

 

Halliday however...

[Hearts007]

Walker on bench each week seems a total waste of space if he cant even get a few mins

[norrie1952]

Calf injury

Spot on. KB arse holes out in full force for this one. Dreadful fans 

[Rick Sanchez]

Hearts start Halliday and McPake tells Cummings to find another club. I'd imagine Halliday clears it with the management but I do like McPake's approach.

[allystrachan]

That’s one of those teams you look at and scratch your head wondering where goals will come from….. then they go out & win 5-0. 

[Canscot]

Halliday much more likely to get into card trouble than Cochrane too. Liability at times imo. 

[Mr Rabbit]

Does it look like there’s any streams for today’s game?

 

Don’t want to give those arseholes any money.

[Doc Rob]

What has happened to Beni? He was supposed to be out for one, maybe two games. This is the fourth now.

Poor McEneff must wonder just what he has to do to get a start.

Halliday better stay disciplined, is all I'll say.

He's been ruled out until the derby but they're hopeful he'll be fit the game before the derby.

[kingantti1874]

No Boyce is a shame, but Haring, Devlin and Beni is the midfield required for away games .. 

 

if woodburn doesn’t fancy it bring on Jamie today

Thanks guys 👍🏻 Fingers crossed it works

[AlphonseCapone]

Have to be honest and say my heart sinks a bit when Halliday starts but maybe away at Dundee where it'll be a battle it'll work out, if he doesn't do anything daft.

I agree, sorry wasn't having a go just an observation. 👍

Robbie said before the Rangers game that he was hoping to have him back by the end of the month and available for the Hibs game.

[Jamdub]

I really hoped McEneff would have got his chance today, GMS and Halliday playing, he must wonder what he has to do.

Johno. We’ve got at least 3 players on the bench who are better than those who are starting. The team selection is bizarre. The thread will be a shit show if the team selected doesn’t perform and Neilson will get slaughtered for it. Having said my piece……. Mon the Hearts, get stuck into this mob.

[Rick Sanchez]

It's hard to figure out if Neilson is a man of having favourites or not. He blows very hot and cold with some players.

But we've done okay overall this season. It is about winning your battles and we are 2 or 3 good players short of a really good squad.

So Hearts are doing badly this season because of poor team selections?

Maybe just some showing up better in training or carrying knocks. Quite surprised by that team selection today though.

I don’t really understand why you say that. Can you re-word it for him so he can state his opinion without giving you that impression. He’s entitled to say what he thinks surely.
