OTT Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 1 minute ago, McNelly15 said: Far too many games this season that we've looked non interested, we've had a lot of luck and it looks like its run out. We should be pumping this pish. Need more goal scorers within the squad and definitely need another couple strikers come the summer. Same problem as under Neilson. Issue looks like the players at this point. Midfield utterly devoid of ideas and wide players that don't look up to scratch. If we had Kennedy and Armstrong feeding shanks it would be ridiculous. Forrest is all workrate no quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert Simnel Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 A draw is probably fair. We bossed most of the first half, and Killie did likewise in the second. Earlier subs could have prevented the goal, I think, as well as making more of the numerous chances we had to swing the ball into the box (and where Cochrane just hit the nearest defender instead), but I doubt anyone would think we deserved to win that on the day.

The White Cockade Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 made subs too late we were struggling second half and needed to make changes Oda on far too late to make a difference and Atkinson for Lembikisa should have been made half time but at least a draw keeps the gap between the teams as most people say we are lacking in midfield and badly needs addressed before next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Point was the absolute most we deserved. Killie had by far the better chances and should have scored 2 or 3 at least. No damage done with the result and 3rd is pretty much sown up but our performances continue to be mediocre. It’s a huge stretch to believe this Hearts team will end the Rangers curse at Hampden given the chances we are giving up and our continued over reliance on Shankland in the final 3rd. Today why again saw why Armstrong would be a significant upgrade creatively as we flatter to deceive attacking wise constantly. Positive recruitment happening, just hope they are addressing our lack of a goal threat throughout the team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shanks is sold they have a monumental task in bringing in strikers as we are already lacking with him in the team week in week out! Aye, I'm dying inside watching us attack. Decision making is genuinely woeful. Minimal composure by everyon other than Shanks, and then the rare event that Shanks has a bad game (like today) we're completely non-threatening. Shanks drifting wide creates space which is rarely filled, and then coupled with that, there isn't a competent enough player to A.) link up the play in that gap or B.) finish the chance that could be created. Forrest I'm so up and down on. His workrate I absolutely love, and respect because better players do half as much running as him but he's not a good attacker. He doesn't have the quality to unlock defences. He misses chances to link with teammates and holds onto the ball far too long. Badly want to see what the likes of Spittal or Dhanda can do. Hopefully we can see if Killie or Dundee are willing to talk about Armstrong or McCowan. I'm not sure we can afford to sell Shanks. I just really hope we can get a new deal agreed.

hearts00 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Positives we didn’t lose. We actually scored a goal in the first half that is not a pen. Not much else really.
