A_A wehatethehibs Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I have been a backer of Zander, the unit as a whole has worked well together. But I think I would put Gordon back in for Hibs. The team needs a shot in the arm after that and 2-3 changes. You need freshness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madjambo21 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'd put Gordon in. He is head and shoulders a better keeper. Zander is a cracking spfl keeper and will do for when Gordon hangs up the gloves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watt-Zeefuik Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Thought it was time for Gordon after the last Dundee game, I think so again. It's tough on Clark but he knew what he was signing up for when he signed with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Rudi Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 What happened today was unacceptable and Zander was part of it. He's not to blame for the defeat, but along with Beni, Atkinson, Grant and Rowles they can hardly have any complaints if they find themselves benched for Wednesday. Naismith has shown a ruthless side before now, I'm sure he will be raging at that performance. Gordon can make mistakes too, but he can pull off saves that Zander can't.

We make other changes during the season to make a point to players. Why is any goalie untouchable? He wasn’t good today. He wasn’t the worst but he didn’t help. We’d be mad if Shankland was sitting on the bench after an injury. Trying to shoehorn in another forward while our best striker watches. Get Gordon back in. He’s a better goalie. Everyone knows it.

Frank Sidebottom Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Gordon is the best GK we’ve had and he’s not going to be around forever. Not that I think we won’t finish 3rd but he could be key in the games coming up. time for a recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to convince me, I said it myself at the time, but it was due to Clark continuing to make mistakes game after game. It was only a matter of time before he did so again.

Bench a number of players who contributed to that performance today. 2. Stick with the same team and give them a chance to redeem themselves. Personally I hope he freshens things up. Forrest didn't deserve to be dropped today. A rest for Beni looks a good call. Rowles and Atkinson will think themselves lucky if they start. Tait or Devlin for Grant. Gordon for Clark. I think it's time to bring him back tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS98 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Hibs will have their tails up and fancy their chances now on Wednesday. How ****ing gutted would every single one of them be to see Craig Gordon back in our starting line-up? He’s undefeated against them since he came back and scunners them every game he plays against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn’t be knee jerk. There is competition for jerseys at Hearts, and when any team we send out loses 5 goals, as a manager you are perfectly well justified making 3-4-5 changes to that team. Not necessarily the GK but Gordon just happens to be the most obvious change, due to his quality, mentality and composure we know what he will bring.

Kirky Jambo Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Gordon for me. He is just a better keeper. Clark has done well but is about the standard of a backup keeper for a club like Hearts, which is exactly why he was signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Burgundy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I dont mind Clarke but if anything is any distance from him he’s not stopping it. He gets no distance when he pushes off when diving. Its like watching a roll of carpet falling over. Gordon is our best keeper by a mile so if fully fit he should play imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously had a great partnership and they know each others game. They’ll dominate Hibs imo. And no to Oda from the start. But apart from that agree. A performance and result like today, Steven Naismith needs to ask, what would his former manager Jim Jeffries do. The answer is, absolute rocket up the players and ring the changes at least 3,4,5 changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
