Mikey1874 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Naismith and McAvoy talked about the balance between experienced and inexperienced players and that the experienced players are helping. The balance in team also affected by the injuries to McKay and Boyce. Hopeful all the newer players will come good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best answer was to the guy moaning about us never leaving anyone up for corners. After FM explained that we'd moved from man to man last season with a man up where we lost loads of goals to zonal marking this year and we had the best record in the league, the guy was still complaining about needing a man up. Naisy chipped in to say that we'd try it on Saturday but if we conceded the guy was "getting it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mintmyster Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 13 minutes ago, HoGwash said: I agree with you, including the despair that the superthick troll is spamming another thread. The presentation was really interesting and insightful. Great to get a view into the analysis done and how it translates into games. Naisy came across really well. Would concur with all of this. Naismith, Forrest and McAvoy were articulate, interesting and honest. I think they came across as being driven, on the same page, and genuinely excited by the future prospects with the young players at the Club.

Unfortunately, some of these ***** have total control of team selection, and think they're the next Pep. The parents knew if wee Jimmy...etc was alleged to be at the sleepover, then his chances of playing would be zilch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazhearts Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Very impressed by Naismith tonight and the presentation showing the depth of detail Hearts go into with the players. Listening to him talking about all the top managers he played under and his experience of working with Scotland got me thinking that he's had an amazing grounding in the game.

Naisy chipped in to say that we'd try it on Saturday but if we conceded the guy was "getting it". Last season we were horrible at defending any kind of cross ball. People have short memories. To turn that around is fantastic. (And I was a big Robbie fan) I watched a video once with a coach, can't remember who, explaining why leaving a man up at a corner was actually defensive. It gives you an easy option of just knocking it long but the chances are it will just come right back. If you have to play out / counter attack you're more likely to keep the ball and score a quick goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 54 minutes ago, Cruyff said: Naisy: the fans abusing players is detrimental and affects their confidence. Lay off Nieuwenhof, he'll be a great player. I agree. I'm glad this was addressed but despite only a fraction of the Hearts support attending this occasion the monotony of fans berating the team/individuals has to stop, its so bloody frustrating ! The half time booing when the game is stalemate makes you wonder if the fans that are doing realise their doing it. I don't get the small minority of fans who question Nieuwenhofs ability, give him time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did wonder how Naismith would handle it and that way does seem pretty fair. It is a massive opportunity for the two of them (even for Craig after a great career). Would be harsh to just drop Clark for Gordon. Same time it would be harsh for Gordon to not get a sniff after prolonging his career and all he has done for the club.

Mikey1874 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 The Celtic pre match analysis was interesting. Included clips of the game showing how the goals were created. Corner for first goal started from a key pass Rowles made after he got the same pass wrong. Showed how they analysis opposition strengths to counteract them. They watch every game often on Saturday evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if the most negative Norman's out there haven't had their minds changed after witnessing the presentations, ultimately its all about the 3 points on the park and like the recent Rangers game at Ibrox, 3 days of hard work and preparation were thrown down the bog as we caved in at the end but it is reassuring the coaches are doing their homework. My circle of around a dozen Hearts fans all have a difference of opinion, I'm seen as the happy clapper and my acceptance levels for not so great results are questionable, having scowered social media and read the feedback I'm glad the majority are happy.

Another thing Naismith said. They changed the system at half time at Ibrox. But it led to being under more pressure second half. So they learned from that and for example didn't do the same at Celtic instead making like for like subs with Barry McKay coming on for Forrest mentioned.
