HMFC 86 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Started off poorly and tailed off. First few minutes Shanks put him through on goal with a delightful flick, Grant ran on and then sclaffed his cross into the first defender. We talk about the quality of our players but Ross county, Dundee Utd players would do more. It’s a fallacy that we have quality players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Form Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 The fact that he started then stayed on the pitch while the likes of Forest were taken off suggests that Liam Fox knows the square root of feck all about football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched all of last season, and the season before that, and every season going back over 45 years. What’s your point? I expect a central defender to be able to do what Kent and Halkett (when fit) can, not be bullied and defend on the ground and in the air. Rowles can’t, and while I’ve been a fan of Kingsley his form has been particularly rotten this season, and he has never convinced me at all in the centre of defence.

Grant is as much as a chocolate teapot if you want someone to actually make the team win, through crazy actions such as goals or assists. Hopefully he is the sort of imposter that the Starlizard software sees straight through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penrice to me feels like he could end up being left side Michael Smith if he sticks around a few years. We’ll get a 6 or 7 match rating and consistently do just well enough that we think we should replace him but it’ll be tough to find a player clearly better than him week in and week out.

Dalry Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Remarkable he started ahead of Dhanda and remarkable he didn’t come off for Dhanda. I just don’t know what the management see in him, Vargas also, why start him ahead of McKay who is much better at home against the smaller teams. No faith at all in Fox now, we need someone in asap as the next few weeks are going to be even more dire if that is indeed possible!

A Grant performance being rated as good is usually code for the rest of the stunk the joint out.

Deid Heid Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 (edited) 2 hours ago, amadjambo said: I’d be relieving Fox of his duties tonight for playing Grant. Abysmal football player who has no right to ever wear a Hearts shirt. Gobsmacked that Fox has been given this opportunity and picked him. Clueless. 100% Really should never, ever play for the first team ever again. Should never ever have played ever for Hearts in the first place and has never contributed anything and absolutely is part of the problem. Him, McKay and Rowels are at the heart of this, utterly hopeless...IMO. Edited September 28 by Deid Heid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be that dressing room is toxic with cliques Ive been told with senior guys like boyce kent gordon mckay halkett kingsley shanks getting far to much say at the club and blaming the new guys when they have been to blame prob more and hes one of them. We need manager to give them a kick up arse get rid of the older hasbeens, as like under bob and then naisy the same core players have lots to answer for again.

Carter Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Not read any of the comments as I can't be ****ed. All I say is this is the biggest imposter to be bestowed upon this club in quite sometime. Absolutely fancies himself as a player yet his levels of athleticism as a so called attacking midfielder are absolutely laughable. What I particularly admire is repeatedly admire us post 30 mins each week where he adjusts his position from taking the ball off the back 3/4 and decides to move into areas where he's marked. He's an absolute ****ing imposter hiding in plain sight. His two performances at Hampden last season were disgusting and how he's been allowed to pollute the Neilson and Naismith capitulations and play 92 mins today just sums up all that's wrong at the club for me.

I wonder if unexpectedly he found a fit as a holding midfielder and having Beni back and pushing him forward is reminding us of everything we were ready to ship off over the summer? That's my take on it. Been doing ok deeper, so why he started ahead of Dhanda or Spittal in an advanced position is mind boggling. I mean how bad do those two look in training?

liam11 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Just too casual in everything he does, a bit like Barrie McKay.
