Footballfirst Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Certainly a game of two halves tonight. Bo'ness dominated the first as Hearts seemed very nervous playing the ball out against their press, although the wind was also a factor. Ex Hearts youngster Ryan Stevenson scoored a peach of a free kick shortly before the break. Hearts came out in the second half with a different mindset and approach, pressing and driving forward with pace. They could have scored about five in the first 15 minutes, but had to settle for three although the fourth came along soon after. None of the goals were collectors items, but all were down to perseverance and opportunism. Thereafter they managed the game pretty well although Bo'ness did get one back late in the game.

section s heart Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 There was talk of the SPFL imposing new ground standards if teams from the HL and LL were to be eligible to come through the pyramid to the SPFL.

Niemi’s gloves Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Entertaining second half after struggling in the first. I thought Liam McFarlane looked very solid in goal in that first half in difficult conditions - he strikes me as one who has improved a lot over the season as have young Wilson and Stevenson.

Maybe Football First can update in who has met the standards. Teams looking for promotion to the SPFL need to have a bronze licence, rather than an entry licence. Only Cumbernauld Colts has a bronze licence at the moment, although it is expected that any club seeking promotion will be given a grace period to make the grade. It's not just about the ground, e.g. brighter floodlights, but other support arrangements, like having a team doctor available at matches. Clubs like Brechin, Cowdenbeath, Albion Rovers probably chose to drop a licence level and save money in the HL/LL, so should be able to revert quite easily. EK has plenty cash behind them so again should be able to meet the new requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIGJAM Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Great win for Hearts tonight. Very poor first 45mins from the boys in maroon, and hoof ball prevailed from the visitors. The real moment of quality was their goal, a peach of a strike. second halve was completely different, Hearts fronted up and they got their rewards. Wilson has started to look the player again and he put on another 9/10 performance again. Hearts had 3 2007 in the starting line up tonight which is terrific. Huge credit must go out to entire coaching team. By the noise coming from the changing room, everyone clearly enjoyed the night. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Berry Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 A game of two halves, probably due to the wind. First 15 mins of the second sealed the win and runners-up spot. Decent crowd as well, I'd say around the 400 mark although still a pity that more Jambos don't turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaOfMaroon Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Was also at the game tonight. The B team really struggled with Bo'ness physicality and long ball approache in the first half. I think this contributed to some nerves and strange mistakes playing out from the back. The second half was a lot better and you could see the confidence growing. I was impressed by wee number 14, he was everywhere. Forester had a good second half too. Good to see Sandilands getting stuck into one of their big boys at a flash point. Wilson looks classy at times and has a good football brain. Did struggle physically against their big defenders. He looks like he hasn't finished growing though.

Yeah to be fair they normally have two turnstiles open for bigger games. Perhaps caught unawares. That said, it really should be free for ST holders in my opinion. Encourage more fans along.

He said at the presentation he did a few months back that he wanted players to get used to playing where they dont get free kicks for things they would in youth football. So makes them more savvy, more prepared for a physical side. Sandilands and Rathie being the players who stand up for the younger ones is great (and they are only 18/19.) It sets an example to the youngsters which they will take in their career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nominally it would be described as a 4-3-3, but the full backs (Forrester & Dall) are encouraged to step into midfield while they kept McLuckie and Ross out wide, but still supporting Wilson. Hearts were unable to press in the first half as they struggled to get possession far less get up the park. In the second half, they turned the tables and got stuck in with much more energy, particularly through the midfield 3 of Stevenson, Gordon and Sandilands. It was that pressure the created the openings further forward with the front three combining to create chances both for themselves and the midfield runners.

section s heart Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Any word on the potential for contract extensions for the best of these boys? IIRC Wilson and Stevenson will be about half way through their 2 year deals, if they're seen as stars of the future, would be great to get them signing a Tait length contract.
