Maybe Naisy picked up on Cammy's performances during training and made a sound decision? Thus far, we've had some great 2nd half showings. Superb substitutions and long may that continue if it's a template on how to grind down teams that sit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve gone from saying that those saying Cammy was out of favour was “utter garbage” to now giving reasons for him, er, being out of favour! It’s clear Naismith has him down the pecking order for the DM positions and Hoff has improved a lot since Cammy has been out injured. That’s clearly why he’s trying to coach a more attacking role into Cammy so hopefully it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's completely different from a manager recognising a player's skills and potential, knowing stuff about what the issues are, and nurturing him. Some folks on here were calling Cammy as being 'out of favour' due to him being shit. So, Cammy being 'out of favour' on these grounds, was indeed utter garbage. I'm referencing those who wrote him off as being a 'waste of a jersey', etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good players can sit on the bench (we’ve got Gordon sitting on the bench at the moment, Vargas was on it too today and he’s not been crap recently either). Saying someone is out of favour and saying someone is shit are two entirely different things. Cammy was out of favour prior to his injury, not shit. You’re backtracking now - you didn’t mention these grounds in your earlier post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philfigo Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, Mikey1874 said: You have to wonder at the stupidity of time wasting early in a game. Somehow they stopped doing it 0-1. But by then they've wasted the time they need to get back in game. Yeah it's ridiculous, a few teams have done this at Tynecastle this season. The whole tactic is to frustrate to try turn the support against the team. Our support has come wise now and we are far more patient as it don't matter when the goals come as they will at some point.

Famous 1874 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Excellent second half again. Some form from the boys. Oda and Vargas great impact from the bench in particular. 2-0 flattered Motherwell by the end. Beggars belief as to why Naisy started with 3 at the back, especially since we are chronic with that and are far better with a 4… Stop using a 3 and we might still win the league (and the cup) Naisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies to Bunny Munro - too much beer sorry. In my experience/opinion Rowles is an amazing player and can play in any formation. If he's had a dip in form - so be it but he's very likely to be an Oz NT captain in the next few years and it takes a special player to achieve that. (Was captain of our U17s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There are 12 games left and we're 14 points clear of our nearest competitor. They would have to close the gap at better than a point a game until the end of the season, and that's not going to happen. Third place is in the bag.

LogicalEric Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Thought Atkinson was absolutely superb when he came on. Made a massive difference/threat going down that right hand side. Just wasn't happening for Dexter yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Idle Talk Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Did anyone else get the feeling yesterday that it was like watching one of the OF playing Motherwell? The way Motherwell were sat in deep and showed little interest in coming out. The way we dominated possession of the ball. The way we had to be patient and just keep picking at the lock until it finally opened. The way the fans had to stay with the team even though frustration was starting to build. To me it was very like watching Rangers or Celtic against a bottom half team. That is the level of respect - you might even say fear - Motherwell were showing us yesterday. It was an interesting dynamic I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the immediate run up to the free kick & goal he was in good positions but had no support out wide and three times just pumped aimless balls into the box that all came to nothing. I think he can be much more effective (not picking on him) but the team needs to offer more in overloads in wide areas. I don't think he was superb but he was very effective.

It was an interesting dynamic I thought. It’s been that way since the start of the season. We lost a silly goal against Motherwell at Tynecastle earlier in season. They then camped in their own half. We threw everything at them but couldn’t score. Most teams are playing like that now even at their own ground. The only exception has been Dundee. That’s how they play Rangers and Celtic hoping for a point or a sneak win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
