Someone needs to save this attempt at a successive 3rd spot.  We’ve now become easy to trump.

 

The players heads look to have gone, no energy, no freedom in their play, no aggression, too many players sitting back,  predictable play from front to back.

 

We need a manager the players will spit teeth for but that comes from reacting to who that person is and weeks and weeks of working with them.  
 

I see **** all.  This isn’t a 2,3 games period of not being too bad and losing, the performances are atrocious and concerning. 

They can't even pass the ball, how many times did 2 players just watch a ball rolling between them making no effort to take it! As for Mackay, he can take his flicks out the door with his P45! What do they do all day at training, hopelessly punt the ball at the practice 'wall'? We can't defend, can't head the ball to a team mate, can't attack and can't seem to give a feck!

[Heres Rixxy]

The problem is even if he was sacked, I don't trust the board to appoint the right replacement. Probably end up chasing McInnes with zero ambition.

No, neither did Cathro or McPhee.

To be fair both Cathro and McPhee had good coaching credentials.  Shite man managers though.  

[Carter]

Curtis Main will be rubbing his hands at thought of coming up against Sibbick and Rowles. 

 

Next weekend could be toxic. We lack players with strength of character. Hard to see this decline being arrested. 

 

1 point from 6 at Livingston, 0 from 6 at Aberdeen, 1 from 6 at Kilmarnock. That's absolutely disgraceful.

 

Time is up.

Definitely take mcinnes he consistently had Aberdeen as the best of the rest he also  would be delighted to come

[Francis Albert]

We can give all we like but Robbie is safe as long as we still have a chance of third place. Even an outside chance. Look at his success record we will be told. In fact as long as we finish in the top six I think his job is safe.

Are we a fan owned club? Or just thousands of mugs paying to make McKinley and Co rich?  Next 24hours will give us our answer.

It's their play thing and we are financing it (along with James Anderson)

Holy crap, you been greeting since Cathro? Maybe Hearts isn't for you 

Greeting at the acceptance of incompetence that we've been told for years is changing.

Time will tell

[Percival King]

At least we all have the reassurance that no-one will be more frustrated / disappointed / determined than Neilson.

[SectionG]

As a fan owned club and us all being shareholders, can we call an EGM and tell the board members how we feel and demand the removal of the Management Team? We shouldn’t have to do this as the board should see what’s going on, but if they don’t do their job, is this an option?

[ri Alban]

Fell sorry for Shankland. Hit the byline and cross it, he'll score. McKay wants to play the Messi pass and Gino is a donkey, the are either cheating us or crap. 

 

And that thing under Rowles noise needs slapped off.

Clearly Zander selling the pies was an issue but we should be dominating games from midfield to front. Just the usual slow ponderous nonsense. Team has gone backwards. Can't see how Neilson moves us on to next level even if we somehow manage to hold onto 3rd.

May be as well to twist now instead of stick with this dross style of play. 

 

Hearts aren't holding onto 3rd. 4 defeats in the last 5 games isn't 3rd place stats. It Isn't even top 6 stats although I don't thinks we'll drop that far, but for the first time since we went 3rd I no longer believe we are capable of staying there. Something far wrong when the group of players we have are getting such bad results.

[Thomaso]

Sorry but Neilson is now liable to sabotage the grand plan backed by £1.4m of fans money and record season ticket sales! Not finishing 3rd will be a financial disaster!

With the carrot of Euro football again and all it brings makes what we’re seeing all the more baffling. Something not right behind the scenes. Zero urgency. Mostly the same players. We have to stop the rot.

Think its time key board members got in a room with players for explanation. Mgmt team not reqd nor invited.

Might cause problems, but what have we witnessed in last 180 minutes? £5 mill at stake.

Always Hearts.

Doesn't matter what formation you set up if the players turn up half asleep then your done.

Hiding thinking you're better than you are and especially not working .

 

Pathetic from the players .

Needing dropped 

 

Mckay Snodgrass Forest Grant Kio.

 

Neilson is a separate matter for now.

The players ...who the fek do they think they are .

Swanning up on a Saturday without a fekin care. 

Wage thievery from the team.

Not one player took a hold .

 

 

 

 Shankland is the only one trying. Grant is being let down by his fellow midfielders. 

 

He better play Beni Cammy and Boyce soon. Injury or not, they are better than Snodgrass and Kio.

That's not me advocating for him to take over btw.

I'm not one for posting. But enough is enough things need to change. Hearts as a football club must finish third for the money it brings in and hopefully bring in new players. 

Will not happen under Neilson , no chance , he is finished . Only people that don’t know that is the board as they are shite bags and have a small club mentality

 Agreed,he has had chance after chance,job is beyond him.

[jock _turd]

I have been supportive of him but things are just going from bad to worse and alarmingly the players are just going through the motions out there. It is too late to replace him at this point in the season though in my opinion. It would be different if there was a manager ready to slot in but that does not appear to be the case. Ms Budge must know that she made a grave mistake keeping CL in the post she should be able to see this is the same situation and should really act but I doubt she will.

Down to Savage make the change

They would also love to have our players and budget. 

[DS98]

Genuinely looked like the players have chucked it. Zero energy or effort in that last 35 mins. Aimless punts up to the Killie monster centre halfs was about all they could muster. 
 

Make no mistake here Killie are horrific. They only got promoted last season by a bawhair and have kept most of that team. They have been one of the favourites for relegation all season. 
 

Hearts, the supposed 3rd best team in the league with far bigger resources and better players have just been well beaten by them (for the 2nd time this season) at a complete whimper. Created next to nothing in 100 mins of football and against 10 men for 37 of them. 
 

Somethings stinks. Something inside our club is rotten to the core. The players have either stopped playing for the manager or they’ve stopped believing in what he’s doing. 
 

Changes are needed NOW. Not after we’ve chucked the rest of the season and finished 5th.

The fact we are still in 3rd is why Neilson will remain .Zero chance of him leaving

[Carter]

Indeed. Anyone who thinks McKinlay could make a call on Neilson is deluding themselves. Unfortunately the progression of the club is stifled as Budge has two contacts in management - Levein and Neilson. 

[Australis]

Who has he blamed for it?

Wont be him or his coaching staff, that's for sure.

Complete and utter shambles.

[jamboozy]

Surely Savage is watching this shitshow?! If so get your finger out you fat **** and get this ****ing mess sorted out!

[stevie]

We dominate position but rarely threaten,have done since Bob came back.We are long over due a manager with a plan and one who can use the squad he has to his advantage and who has the ability to react and change accordingly.Robbie has none of these attributes and I find it incredible he got the job in the first place never mind that he’s still here.
