BigAlim Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Been behind him since day one, could always tell he had it in him when he came in even though he was a bit shy. He’s turned into a man in front of our very eyes and the way he skinned those two boys before he came off just gave me glimpses of what he’s going to be like in future.

I'm the same, he impressed early on last season, had a wee drop off in form mid-season, but really finished the season strongly and has kicked on again this season. As many on here have said, he's got to be one of the first names on the team sheet. He's done well covering as LCB due to injuries, but great to see him back as LWB, which is where he offers us most imo. A great piece of business by Hearts.

StevenNaismith Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 He’s been our best player this season for me. Seen him after the game last night and he said he will be fine for Wednesday.

Beave1874 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Was motm prior to being taken off, his first touch, movement and drive were all superb.

henry Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I’d like to see him and Smith do more from the wing back area, when Mackay moved over to his side he contributed a bit more. Wing backs need to be contributing in this system. Smith just doesn’t have the legs anymore and needs replaced, surprised Atkinsons not been involved more.

jamboozy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Good player, it had an effect when he went off last night. Noticed Sir Snoddy of Gorgie giving him plenty of advice last night and Alex was taking it all in, good lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get having a bigger squad is required especially when playing European games... but rotating for rotating's sake should be left to likes of Liverpool, Man City etc. Not a fan... I would rather we played our best team available - changing 2/3 max, each game. For me, this is where consistency comes. My point with regards to Alex is he's one of my first names on the team sheet these days along with Shankland, Snodgrass etc. and, as much as I rate Kingsley, I wouldn't necessarily change him just because Kingsley is available - I do think he's becoming that important to us.

Only my opinion, of course. I get that and tend to agree. Problem is, if you want to have the depth in quality, using LB as an example, then you have to play both at times, or they will just leave and we are back to a far lower quality player as cover, happy to warm bench. Tbh in the modern game, rest and recuperation, injuries, suspensions should never really see rotating for rotatings sake. Then you can consider form. Historically that been a real luxury for us, and what we need to progress from where we are now. Its Cochranes right now to lose without doubt. My player of season so far, and with Shanklands goals thats an incredible thing to say. If he has felt a twinge tho....this is where we probably no longer need to take a risk Wed due to quality in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Daddy Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 👍 yeah, that’s fair. And your last sentence is correct… we don’t have to take a risk these days (with muscle tweaks etc) as we’ve got the cover without really weakening the team. We really are assembling a strong squad!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the only time I've seen him sub someone so early on into a game outwith injury was Ben Woodburn.

Madjambo21 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 He was really poor yesterday. The Aberdeen boy flicked the ball over him twice in the space of 10 mins the hit a crossfield ball that played in the dons striker. Didn't see the incident with Neilson but seen him roaring at his own players for lack of movement. Right to take him off and chalk it down to a bad day.
