DxB Hearts Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Wow people need to chill out. Yes, we need help up top and yes, it would have been much better to get them in early but we're not done yet and the free agent market is something we've used very successfully recently. Our squad is more than capable of finishing 3rd again. It's better than it was at the start of last season. We also didn't play in the league cup group stage, so not actually playing that many more games than last year. Trust Savage, he'll get us players we'll be happy with.

Only one of two chances for silverware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batistuta87 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 26 minutes ago, Hearts of Vladland said: Joe Wright wasn’t good enough for us, kept a clean sheet against us last night though 🤷♂️ Watched him very closely last night. Wasn't involved a huge amount but added another big body to their back line which made it really difficult for us to play over the top, and then what he did do, i.e. a couple of chase-downs with Gino and a couple of clearances, he did with a bit of composure. Looked alright to be fair, but I said this in pre-season too that he looked calm and composed. Feels like Neilson has impressed enough to not bother signing Wright as well. Maybe he's wanted more money or a longer deal or whatever than we were prepared to offer? Maybe his medical wasn't satisfactory? Maybe we've got a better option whom we've discussed terms with and were waiting to see what we'd need to do at the end of the window. Who knows!

Francis Albert Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 5 minutes ago, A_A wehatethehibs said: I think that is questionable we have: 1 a soft as shite right side of defence. 2 Zero creativity midfield pairing of Haring Devlin which needs changed next game I’d drop the both of them if possible, but it isn’t. 3 now there’s no number 10 but a poacher up front who needs one. 4 a couple of hot and cold wingers who appear to be low on confidence For me we are in trouble for the battle for 3rd if we don’t make 2 or 3 signings today. Yes we have a few new players and a few kids who might help to fill these gaps but reinforcements/ alternatives are needed. How clear were we in third last season? And though not as much as would have liked we have strengthened the squad since then. I am not saying we are shoo-ins for third just we are good enough. Possibly not if we spend the next two months focusing on a European dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCant Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 4 minutes ago, Chong said: I'm certain Boyce would have made a huge difference last night. Effort and desire was the problem, certainly in the second half, that is never an issue with Boyce. Yeah his assists and goal scoring record recently haven't been good enough but his general play will be missed, unless replaced, for his time out. Big big loss and a key component, it was very evident last night. I must be the only one who regularly sees Boyce 1. Take a poor first touch and lose possession 2. Turn into an opponent and lose possession 3. Over hit or under hit or misdirect a pass and lose possession 4. Fail to take a strike at goal when it was clearly the thing to do.

Finlay James Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Ramirez would be a good signing, he done well there last season. Johnston always looks like a player who has great potential to me. If he signed for another SPL club and done well, there would questions asked as to why we’re not making these types of signing. I still think there will be long term signing target that comes out of left field before the day is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gino flatters to deceive and GMS (although showing signs of improvement) just isn't good enough imo Kio is not a playmaker, though seems to me we are not bothered about someone from the middle that can cut teams open and it will be done from the wings. If that is the case, yeah, that wont happen, however Ramirez and Shankland are very much the same type, its penalty box, No.10 is a big concern for me, it was with Boyce available. Really we shouldnt be talking about this today, seems we cant see the wood for the trees and have confused ourselves.
