Chaps Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) He was poor midweek but won’t judge him after 1 game. Needs a proper run games before passing judgement. Not sure he’ll get that with Grant starting to come into a game. Edited February 11 by Chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s match fit yet and will need a run of games before he’s actually being noticed as a stand out. Was pretty anonymous in Perth and Jorge Grant was much more lively when he came on. Far too early though and he’ll need a few weeks to get his match fitness up to speed. Will be an important player for us though in the run up.

jamboozy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I like that he’s named Scott, I like that he came from Charlton, only because I fitted new bars in their hospitality close season a few years ago. other than that I can judge nothing about him as I haven’t seen how he will embed himself in the team and how he will gel with his teammates, too early.

Tynecastle Valhalla Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Thought he looked decent in his first game then terrible away to st Johnstone. For now I would start Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Elliott Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 A big part of his game appears to be built upon energy, drive and arriving late into the box to finish off attacks. Not playing for the best part of two months is going to seriously impede upon his match fitness and ability to do those things. Zero point even attempting to judge him so far imo.

Montague H Withnail Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think he'll be an important player for us, we'll only know for sure when he gets match fitness - possibly by playing matches. Kinda sorta trust Naismith on what's best for the team, today and in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not playing in their strongest positions, Elvis and Zaliukas didn't have the best of starts to their time at Hearts. Fans were on their backs but each settled, produced and ended up with legend status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsjambo Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It is too early to tell if he’s any good or not but I would question whether we needed yet another CM in the first place. We already have Hof and Grant who are meant to be box to box midfielders. Then you have Tait etc etc so unless it was a star coming in to transform the midfield, seems a strange move to me.

It is as you say way way way too early to judge the guy . I think there is logic in signing him though because Naismith has stated a few times in the media that he picks the players best suited to each game . Whether I agree with that policy or not is neither here nor there , but it does mean we need bodies to make that happen for him . Also worth noting what he said about expecting players to just keep their heads down and do the basics for a few games when they arrive and not try and be a superstar , we are probably seeing exactly that from Scott right now It really is far too early to glean any meaningful judgement over Fraser after such a short space of time . If anything it just tempts people to make snap judgements about the guy that will be hard to shift in some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Strangely, it appears that the more time he gets in the first team, the better he looks. It's almost as if he's gradually getting back to match sharpness while getting used to our style of play and working out how he can best fit into that. Sarcasm aside, I thought he played well when he came on and I can see him continue to improve. He's desperate to get a permanent move back to Scotland so he has every incentive to give 100% whenever he gets an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

been here before Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 2 minutes ago, Alex said: Was it just the angle we were standing at or did they actually have flashing lights? I think it must have been the floodlights hitting them but I turned to my laddie at one point and said they reminded me of the trainers he had when he was wee that had flashing lights in the sides of the soles when he took a step. Certainly eye catching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
