Ratings

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

Gordon - 8 - Some great saves. Didn't deserve to concede 4

Atkinson - 5 - Shocking decision making and distribution. Actually competed well when he didn't have to make a decision

Kingsley - 8 - Outstanding, last ditch defending coupled with decent distribution. One of two standout outfield players. Rest him from now till 21 May.

Moore - 5 - Like a titchy Kevin James. Bambi on ice

Haring - 9 - MoM. Not only did he break up the play, he never wasted possession. Getting Devlin back alongside him is key to the cup final. Rest him from now like Kingsley

Sibbick - 5 - Anonymous

McKay - 5 - Probably his worst game this season. He can get a pass for that. Just stay fit

Ginnelly - 6 - Some decent runs and a couple of decent crosses

Simms - 7 - Great finish. A lack of service for the rest of the game

Boyce - 5 - A bonus point for an assist. Otherwise he was atrocious

Cochrane - 6 - Some decent defending but he should never be outjumped like that at their second goal

Subs:

Mackay-Steven - 3 - A couple of good passes

Woodburn - 1 - No time

Thomas  - 1 - No time

Agree with that.  Kingsley was tremendous but I thought Haring was outstanding considering the ineffectiveness of all other Hearts midfielders.

 

On this showing +, it would be a real shame if we lose him.

Gordon - 8 - Left expoed for the goals. 

 

Atkinson - 5- Not upto matching the big boys yet needs more experienced players around him 

 

Kingsley - 9 - Outstanding 

 

Moore - 6 - we need better than him for next season 

 

Haring - 10- brilliant again 

 

Sibbick - 5- another one not good enough we need better. 

 

McKay - 4- poor from him today. Nothing worked he can and will do better 

 

Ginnelly - 6- still not at his best or what we need to compete in Europe 

 

Simms - 8-  No back up or service today. Gave a good start which we capitulated as per usual 

 

Boyce - 2- poor poor shadow of the player he was. 

 

Cochrane - 5- Missing at times 

 

Subs:

 

Mackay-Steven - 1- was he even on the pitch? 

 

Woodburn - 1 - needs to make the most of the limited time he will get with us 

 

Thomas - 1-  no time or chance to show his potential 

 

Neilson. 5 poor subs decisions imo 

[BackOfTheNet]

No one deserves over a 7, only pass marks go to Gordon, Atkinson, Haring and Simms. Maybe could argue Kingsley or Cochrane but being that the defence was to blame in its entirety for allowing so much space without marking or closing down I’m not going to bring myself to do so (but won’t argue others that say they get pass parks). Abysmal display, end of season meaningless game or not it was a shambles and needs serious reviews from our tactical geniuses amongst the coaching staff.

Sibbick just doesn't look interested, Atkinson needs some experience behind him and probably played in a more forward role, just dont see him as a defender at all. Moore is a bombscare. Boyce is definitely not playing at his best and needs some competition for his spot. McKay was poor today. Toss up between Haring and Kingsley for our mom. Ginnelly looked better going forward. Simms had a hard game with not much service but could maybe come looking for the ball a bit more. I like Cochrane and hope he stays but was poor today

I think your ratings are spot on apart from the bit in bold. I think Sibbick clearly cares and is trying his best but he' just not up to it at the moment. Rabbit in the headlines but that's not down to attitude imo

Good ratings/summary

[BackOfTheNet]

I just cannot fathom how anyone could have watched that match and scored anyone above a 7. No individual performance was great, all had flaws, and there was no spell in the game we played consistently well. Unless you count the first 4 minutes. Too many rating based on who they think the opposition is as opposed to how we played, or even how Celtic played considering they didn’t even have to try for a win by a 3-goal margin.

Well maybe. His head seems to drop too easily though. Maybe its a lack of confidence, i dont know. I think him amd Atkinson will improve and i don't think they were signed to be regular starters this season, they have been forced to play more regularly due to our injury problems.

[Tasavallan]

The B team did not cope against a rampant Celtic.

Atkinson, Moore, Sibbick & Cochrane were poor defensively.

 

Kingsley was best of defence, Haring was immense in midfield and Simms tried his best with little support.

 

Boyce had a shocker, he cannot control a ball and run with it.

 

The rest were not worth discussing.  

 

Clearly showed the gulf between Hearts and the OF.  Recruitment a must for Europe.

I think you're spot on with that assessment, both Atkinson and Sibbick are players who need belly rubs and I reckon Woodburn is the same. Ideally we should have first choice players who can do the same job without the need for encouragement and I trust that Robbie will deliver such players, he has first hand experience of taking his own abilities and taking them to the limit and I expect that he will do the same with whoever he signs this summer (would love it if we signed a portugese midfielder, just for the style)

To be fair to Neilson he brought on 3 attackers when we were losing the game. Simms is nursing some sort of injury as well. The fact none of the three changes made a difference doesn’t mean RN to blame, the gamble had to be made imo.

Gordon, Kingsley and Simms main pass marks. Others okay in spells but drifted in and out of the game for the most part. Excellent opening 30 mins then poor thereafter.

 

Thought Cochrane, Moore, Atkinson, Sibbick and Boyce were below par.

 

The sooner Souttar and Devlin are available and can get some minutes to build up for the final, the better. Need them in there defensively badly.

[Broxburn Jambo]

A pretty poor but not unexpected performance today, from a Hearts team that looked like it was at 75%

 

Gordon 8 Made some usual Gordon saves but was left high and dry by his defence

Atkinson 6.5 Always looking to start attacks, wasn't helped that neither Barry or Gino showed for him so ended up being caught in possession.

Kingsley 8 played up to his great standards looked like he wanted to prove he would ready for the 21st

Moore 6 Not his best game, but we compare him to our first choice central defenders and he will always come up short

Cochrane 6.5 pretty much the same as Atkinson needed his teammates to show for him

Haring 8.5 probably the MOM, but he works hard to break up the play, and then sometimes fails to lift his head and look up.

Sibbick 5 I love Toby and think there is a player in him but he looked like he didn't know what he was supposed to be doing today

Gino 5.5 Please have a go at going passed the defender, he had a few one on one's today and turned back 

McKay 4 His worst game in Maroon and it affected the team in general, 

Boyce 5 poor decision making always makes him look worse

Simms 7.5 Great goal, after which he was completely on his own, this is shown by my three lowest scores were for player that should have been connecting to him.

Honestly, Kingsley had some good moments, challenges etc. but look back at every goal and chance they had, he was not positionally well placed or picking up any player and one of them even turned his back on the shot. He was decent in possession, with set pieces and a few challenges, but overall provided every one of their attackers with acres of space and time to do whatever the hell they wanted. He, Moore and Cochrane were all guilty of this. Atkinson, although still not the best defensively, was not a guilty of allowing Celtic to do what they wanted.

There seems to be a bit of ‘pot calling the kettle black’ going on in this thread.

 

Some of it is absolutely priceless when prior posting history is analysed.

 

🙄

[upgotheheads]

We competed and defended pretty well up until Celtic's first goal, which wouldn't have happened if the ref had given the foul on Sibbick as he should have. In the second half likewise, until the third goal at which point it was all over. Whatever the result our team probably cost about 5% of Celtic's budget to assemble. 

[OldGorgie]

Fairly obvious that the only game that matters is the Cup Final. I’m not surprised that the players treated today as a bounce game.

[WheatfieldWarrior]

Haring our best player today.  For me he's a first choice now when everyone's fit.  I hope he signs a new deal, but it looks unlikely at this stage.

He, Moore and Cochrane were all guilty of this. Atkinson, although still not the best defensively, was not a guilty of allowing Celtic to do what they wanted.

As the part you quoted said (although should read “as”, not “a”) Atkinson wasn’t as culpable as the rest of the back 4 were defensively. I’m not talking just the goals, Celtic had half their team consistently wander into our box without any threat of being tracked, marked, picked up by any defender as they kept their eyes on the ball. It was amateur stuff you wouldn’t let kids off for doing.
