mr fox Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 There is real potential in this lad I really like the look of him. Has great awareness always looking for the ball and can spot a pass. Reminds me of a young Jack Wilshere Superb potential hope he keeps progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_HMFC Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Naismith is bleeding him the correct way. Not just throwing him into the starting XI. Tait will get the opportunity to develop properly without any pressure, and he has the potential to become a top performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxfee Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Definitely. Been a long time since I’ve seen a young kid with so much awareness and composure. Really pleased he signed 4yr contract. Fingers crossed he is one of several that we’ll now see starting to come thru the ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay James Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 As others have said, he’s being bled into the team perfectly. He’s being introduced when the team needs a change in focus and chasing a goal which shows the faith Naisy has in him and must inspire great confidence in Macaulay. He has wonderful balance and awareness and rarely wastes a pass. He has a chance, that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM8 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Lovely skill near the end when a ball was punted into the sky, he took it down with ease, few lovely touches to take it away from Motherwell players and laid it back to a defender, taking a foul in the process, this lad has so much promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People forget Naismith played at the 'top' for many years. In one of his final seasons scored a perfect hat-trick to a Chelsea side who where all but up there at the time.

Tait will get the opportunity to develop properly without any pressure, and he has the potential to become a top performer. When you look back at what Naismith talked about in regards to how he wants to progress youngsters, Tait progression is demonstrating it. He wanted youngsters to first start training with the first team, first week "survive" training, then build up from there where he wants them to push towards getting onto the bench, then push to get on as a sub and ultimately then push to start. I think too often talented youngsters are chucked into the first team and have sporadic appearances, here Tait is getting minutes because Naismith believes he will help the team at that point in the game. I mentioned this on the other Tait thread but he has won every game he has appeared in for the first team, and in three of those games Hearts were either losing or drawing when he came on, and coming on he was part of the reason the game of won. As others said, I think the Gilmour and McGregor comparisons are apt as he is best suited to that role, where they move the ball around and controls the tempo in midfield. Something we have not had for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the posh bit Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The Gilmour and McGregor comparisons are pehaps a bit premature.

FP is getting back to full fitness after a long time out. Has played in the B team’s last five games, generally to good reviews from those who’ve been at the games. Still regarded as part of the first team squad and has another year on his contract. With luck he’ll get some first team game time in the latter part of the season.

Everton fans were raging when he was sold to Norwich. They’ve still never replaced him! Reckon they will want him back as their manager.

Long way to go before he’s talked aniur in the same brackets. For me, it’s the fact he plays with his head up, always looking. Because he’s so aware, it means he’s not having to take a touch and have a look. It’s one touch passing and looks so simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS98 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I like the fact he never stands still. We have certain other midfielders who will stand hand on hips when the balls not near them or they’ve moved it on. Macauley is constantly on the move which makes it easier to find that yard of space. Also love it when he hands out instructions to more senior teammates. Several times we’ve seen him whip a ball to Kingsley etc then pointed where it’s to go next. Not short of confidence the laddie.
