We’re only going to grow as a club by bringing in players at the right age and the right price. If certain countries are overlooked a wee bit then all the better.

That’s not Cochrane or Atkinson or Smith. First game or so Atkinson and Cochrane were happy to try things then suddenly stopped. Beni looked for a forward pass but now looks for safest pass.

I think we - as in Robbie - have looked at how teams like Man City hold possession, and try to emulate that. I am not against possession football; the trouble is we don't seem to have the players to finish off those moves. So much of our play is predictable, and telegraphed. Even when we have players gaining possession in the box, they want to take too many touches and end up getting tackled or having their shots blocked.

Too many times theres a good opportunity to move the ball forward but players like cochrane look for the easy/lazy/cowards pass and roll it back.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The guy has probably never played on a surface like he encountered in Perth today. And he’s still getting to know his team mates. A promising start given he’s played way more than would have been expected given Smith’s injuries.

R1874 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 How many minutes has he played with Souttar and Halkett together? Like 40 in Celtic game? Hopefully he gets used to his teammates and the league. I have my doubts but like his confidence. Sometimes it’s too much (he’ll make wrong choice in dangerous area) but potential is there.

Why do you think our players dont want to take too many touches in the box? Whats making them so nervous? What are the worried about? Is it Robbie? Or is it something else?

Well done young man! That's great news. He will be thrilled to bits. He was really thrown in at the deep end when he had to replace Smith early on against Celtic. He has pretty much stayed at the deep end with Smith's ongoing injury. While I'm not well qualified to judge as I don't see many games, from what I have seen and read, I think he's doing brilliantly.

mayfield Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Im amazed that some folk think he’s a rabbit in the headlights and that there’s not a player in there. Already been on numerous international camps and been to the Olympics where we beat Argentina. Yes he’s probably still settling in, but he arrived at Hearts after dictating Melb City’s grand final win the prior season by being completely unplayable in that game in front of 20,000. He’s not easily flappable, trust me. Bit more time adjusting to how he needs to tweak his defensive game and we’ll do very well out of him in a few years time.

gregzy2k7 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 He has looked a bit suspect defensively so far but I wouldn't be writing him off just yet, I think he looks. More than decent going forward, makes me think If he Is even a rightback or rwb to begin with ? He looks more of a natural right winger to me? As seen by the third goal where he rips the arse out of Jordan Jones to cross in for mceneff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
