jackal Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 As soon as Gordon was fit I would have had him in. Since Gordon is back on the scene Zander has raised his game, thought he was good against celtic and obviously again tonight. Gordon may have a fight on his hands to get back in which can only be good for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a romance behind it if you will. To see him return between the sticks. Return to form and maybe even get on the plane to the Euros. The actual reality is that Zander is a very good keeper and deserves his place. No keeper goes without a mistake. Whether you're Zander, Gordon or Buffon at some point you'll drop one in your own net. He's earned it and if Gordon is to get it back then he's going to have to wait till Zander gets injured or truly loses his form over a few games. Craig Gordon is Mr Hearts, club legend and our club captain - of course people are desperate to see him back! He's my hero from when I was wee!! Its no slight on Zander at all, and if it drives him to work harder and be sharper, then more power to him!! - FWIW I don't think Gordon would have saved that penalty because Gordon isn't historically very good with penalties. I'm happy for this to continue, Zander has the 2nd most clean sheets in the league, for a team in 3rd that is bloody amazing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawlad74 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Zander the man. Leave him be. Stats are awesome solid defense Hearts. The night Zander made the difference pen save and 2 others. Love CG but let's celebrate what we've got doing the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawjambo74 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Brilliant save from the penalty. Punched a ball later on that he should have held. Deserves his place in the team. Craig Gordon's time will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Panzee Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Very very good save for the penalty. Part of a defensive unit that’s not conceding too. Not bad for a guy who’s apparently ‘flabby’ and ‘useless’ a reminder it’s good we’re fan owned and not fan run 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naeclue Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 With the Euros on the horizon, I wonder if Craig will look at a loan to get some game time? Zander isn't flawless, but he's miles from getting dropped, and goalkeeper's don't get injured much. Maybe both of them make the Scotland squad, wonder if that's happened before.

gjcc Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 He’s had his bombscare moments and I’ve been on his back. But the stats don’t lie. He deserves his place in the starting lineup. Cracking assist last night too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zander isn't flawless, but he's miles from getting dropped, and goalkeeper's don't get injured much. Maybe both of them make the Scotland squad, wonder if that's happened before. I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago but rather Zander going out on loan. (Albeit that was before 3 very good games!) It’s a unique situation to be in. Do we try and do what’s best for both players, keep one and have McGovern as number 2 or think soley from a Hearts point of view and keep all three. The issue would be where to send one of them though? We wouldn’t loan to a rival and they’re too good for the league below. Craig probably wouldn’t go to the English Championship as it’s two games a week and Zander’s stock probably isn’t high enough for a team in that league to want him. Overseas?
