It's been a long time since you got that feeling in the Premiership especially. We sometimes look slow starters but I would call it biding our time now.

Not a shred of doubt if watch, stuck last 10 on after St J. First away in a few not being there, delighted we've kept the run up. We're becoming a quietly efficient team. Might not excite throughout but solid. I thought tonight we looked a little quicker with balls forward on several ocassioms. Taking our way of playing in recent times and not ripping it up, just evolving. Football has a habit of punching you when least expect it but genuinely starting to believe this team are going places. Coulda been in mix with them but we're not. It will come...!!!

Samuel Camazzola Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Pretty solid if not too spectacular this evening. Kent was solid and Kingsley did well. Forrest put in a good shift and Shankland produced when it mattered.... Again. From the Saints, Carey still has it and is very good on the ball.

Mikey1874 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Shankland 'best forward in the league' - Naismith FT: St Johnstone 0-1 Hearts Hearts manager Steven Naismith tells BBC Scotland: "The stage we're at we're a good footballing team and control games. "We more than most have more possession and that leads to playing against a low block at times. You need to find a way. "First half we probed and prodded and had some good chances, but not as many as we thought we should have. "These games hinge on that first goal and we speeded the play up in the second half which was better and that gave us the chance. "Lawrence has put it away with a brilliant couple of touches and a great finish. "He's in the prime of his career and he's worked hard to get there. He has a clearance off the line which shows his understanding. "He doesn't do what most forwards do and start going up the pitch, he waits until the danger is closed out before moving back into his position. "We're a good team. He's had more shots per game than any striker in the league and more touches in the opposition box. All that comes from us being a good team and the supply we give him. "He's the guy who makes the difference at the end. He's the best forward in the league and it's another example tonight of him showing that."

No Idle Talk Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 That was yet another really classy goal from Shankland tonight. The volume of goals he is scoring is similar to what he did last season but the quality of the goals he is scoring has really gone up. He used his body to manoeuvre one defender out the way, then dinked the ball past the second defender, and calmly stroked the ball the past the keeper and into the net. Great stuff. The range of finishes he has in his repertoire is really pretty impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half his goals were penalties last season, this season they’re nearly all from open play and he is having to score a lot of them out of nothing or from half chances. He’s gone up a level from last season, no question about that. Right foot, left foot, headers, inside the box, screamers from outside the box, he’s got the lot.

He must be a nightmare to defend against because anywhere on the pitch from about 30 yards in he is capable of putting the ball in the net out of nothing. Obviously he is a huge asset to Hearts but we have also been really good for him. His game has either gone up a couple of levels since he joined us or else playing for us has given him the confidence to unlock what he always had inside him. Either way it's been a relationship that has been hugely beneficial to both the player and the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser is going to have to do a lot more if he's any ambitions to stay here for next season. His first start though so he's got some time to get going.

Jodami Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) The football looks more assured and the team just looks tougher which you really need in our league. Kent has been a massive signing in that regard but in truth there has been improvement across the whole squad physically and mentally. I know he has not hit the heights of his initial spell but we are a better team with Beni in it and Nieuwenhof is a good foil - his stamina and doggedness for the entire game is something we have missed in recent years.
