Seymour M Hersh Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Looks like a similar team to last Sunday with the exception of Zaliukas who is suspended. Exactly how they will work it is anyones gues but Neilson back fully fit but no mach practice, Obua and Kingston both fit, Karipidas sat out but should recover for tomorrow. Maybury was training with the 1st team squad and asked if he'd signed. Not at the moment as we are short of reddies he was left back. If Karapedis is fit then I expect Ruben to come in for him as he'll step back into central defence. Up front I suspect it will be Nade with Bruno playing in the hole. Players and coaches appeared to be in good fettle a lot of banter and laughing going on. Tulleberg was training on his own with a physio and looks to be a couple of weeks away. Get right behind the team tomorrow if you are going. SNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigaro Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Was Gary Glen with the first team squad mate ? Nope. I may be wrong but was it Glen and Matty Park running laps together? Kingston in for Chesney...? The first team squad played 10v10 I think, with Kello and MacDonald switching places for the "subs" team. It looked to me that Jonsson was in beside Berra, with Thomson playing RB, but Seymour may be able to clarify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I just love ironies In our second season when we still had the pure quality of squad that had arrived with Burley less Rudi - the team was chopped and changed, rotation was quoted as the way ahead yet most of us realised it was hampering our form. We craved continuity. Now, when we cant buy a win, the team has gone backwards since around the 3rd or 4th game, is looking less and less like gelling as the weeks go on, we are persisting game in game out with practically the same team that cant score and cant defend, and has won 1 in 7. Life is such a rich tapestry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is Berra is left centre isn't he so they really need a right sided player for the position. Rapnik is also left sided I think so it possibly narrows options. Didn't see McGowan today.

bighusref Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 So, Laszlo was telling us just a few weeks ago that Karipidis was the "find of the season" at the defensive midfield position, yet suspension to Beckenbauer and he is put straight back into central defense ahead of two promising young players? Also, with the exception of necessary changes, the team that made such a good job of last week is getting another airing? Disappointing news, no offense to the guys that were at training, but I will be disappointed to see Jonsson at centre half and the horrible one up formation continued.

The statement in bold really worries me - Kara is never a midfielder, far too slow and not even a tackler for christ sake.

A midfielder for me is a guy who was one of the best tacklers in the side,could make passes, get box to box and maybe chip in with a few goals. Aye call me old fashioned but it is just another "made up" position for mediocre players and that is not just a dig at Kara - he is a honest enough player but with limited ability.

Now don't get me started about Bombscare, whether at CH or midfield:mad: Couldn't agree more. Defensive midfielders can be fine, in fact the best Hearts teams of recent years have had one - Salvatori and Brellier. The difference is that they were midfielders who could defend, not the other way about. The defensive midfielder position is a huge negative in today's game. Let's hope it goes the same way as other made up positions in recent years such as a sweeper and wing backs. A few years back, so many teams played with either but now I cannot think of a single team that plays in that way now. These days it's now a defensive midfielder and one upfront. One thing is for sure about tomorrow, there won't be many goals and we have to get the first one because St Mirren don't concede many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the element of surprise is important in football? If one decides to go forward the other stays and vice- versa. Top "defensive" mids don`t just sit back. You still see them go into space and join attacks when possible, it`s all about timing and knowing where to be. Karipidis sits so deep at times it`s like having a 3rd central defender.

Charlie-Brown Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 The first defensive midfielders I can remember at Hearts were Stewart 'Chopper' McLaren and then Neil Berry .... both began at centre defence but either weren't good enough to play there or not as good as better centre backs we could field instead so MacDonald sat them in front of the back four to make tackles or man-mark opponents or in chopper's case kick anything that moved.
