BlackhallJambo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just watched the highlights and thought he looked sensational. Great 2nd goal, link up play and distribution was excellent.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 a cracker of a goal there. Templeton looked very good in the highlights, most of the balls seem to go through him and he links the ball well as well as shooting well. Plus the bit where he walks casually towards the defender I liked. It suggests a player with a bit of arrogance and confidence and a player who defenders are a bit wary of so back off.

Guest The Crack Fox Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Must get played, he's had rave reviews at stenhousemuir, has consistantly performed well for the reserves, next step is the first team. Let him run at the old timers of falkirk on Saturday!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolcross lad Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I saw him play for Stenhousemuir.He looked very lightweight,but pacy and tricky.Has he bulked up? I am always wary of performances in the reserves where many players are not at full tempo.However I have not seen him playing since joining Hearts.I dont see CL throwing him into a cup tie.

Jasonauskas Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Have seen him in a few reserve games and have to say that Templeton & Husband have real quality. I would love to see these boys getting eased into the team, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Is he a striker? People are suggesting he should replace Nade. How is a guy half the size of Nade going to hold the ball up and battle for it? A lone striker spends most of his time facing his own goal, just can't see that working for Temps. I'm not going to suggest changing formation because 4-5-1 is the be all and end all for some on here. We aren't good enough to play 4-4-2 apparently.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Looks like he'd get brushed off the ball too easy. Too skinny. I wouldn't mind having these four players playing for hearts despite them looking like they get brushed off the ball too easy. As Lionel Messi once said, he was so small when he was young that he needed growth drugs to grow to anything remotley normal (he is currenty 5ft 6 1/2 and as skinny as anything) and he said it made him when he was young learn how to get past the big physical players with his footwork.

BlackhallJambo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Correct Alan. Apologies for my earlier post a bit rude sorry. However given Romanov and Csaba committing to youth we need to get the lads in. As you will have gathered Nade is not my favourite. Poor in almost every aspect of his game and we are paying a hefty premium for no qualty whatsoever. If they are good enough they are young enough. In my humble opinion I can see us playing Glen and Templeton , one in the hole and one up front. Interchenge them and I think they would be a real handful for the lumbering defenders that so many teams have e.g wilkie, diamond mcarthy, jones etc. I actually think we play in to their hands by playing someone like Nade against these guys With our goal scoring record what have we got to lose. I also think that most hearts fans recognise quality but also sadly also recognise young players that are not up to scratch. eg Mole and Elliot.

For Hearts to play with Templeton up top, we would have to play a 442. Templeton and Glen ARE too slight to play up top one their own- thats not to say they have other strengths. Csaba would have to tinkle with his sytem - im not sure he wil do that. Of course, he could play behind the front man. Cant see that happening either though.

And if Csaba drops Bruno for Tempelton and it does not work out? He'll look a bit silly. It's a big game on Saturday. I'm not too happy with Bruno just now but I'd prefer to see Kingston than Tempelton playing the second striker against Falkirk. It's an important game.

Guest jambomickey Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 saturday not the game to throw the young lad in but i've watched him many times this season and he certainly got a chance to make it at first team level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 They key on Saturday is pace -- their defence is not the quickest -- Pressley is as slow as my dad's driving on a motorway. We need to expose him in 1 on 1 situations as well as Bullen, Mcnamara etc -- they are weak in that area. Just as we need to be strong at the back and play a centre back where he should be played and not a midfield player who does not have enough of a physical presence.

The only thing you need to apologise for is your shameful, disgusting opinions on Christian Nade. Just kidding, although I am a big fan of the freight train. I reckon he'd come into his own with a strike partner to play off, because his hold up work is excellent and he makes intelligent runs to create space for others - a la Glen's goal in the derby. I know he doesn't score many, but I think he's having a good season for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Wallace looked the part in the highlights. How far away do you think he is? As I said in another thread he was anonymous in the first half, but got into some good positions in the second. His problem was the old chesnut of a right footed player playing in the left will always have to cut inside or check back onto his right side to make a cross. His delivery on Tuesday wasn't too good. He has lots of pace but I'm not sure that other parts of his game are up to the mark to be included in the 1st team squad as yet. Templeton, on the other hand, has previous 1st team experience at Stenny and Raith, pace, trickery, a good work ethic and is two footed, i.e. he has much more rounded skills and merits a 1st team start.

Equally good at either full back position and although he's naturally right footed seems to play more often than not on the left side, can also fill in & cover at centre & defensive midfield.

Bert Le Clos Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Don't see much of the reserves but from what people are saying it seems Glen and Templeton are quite similar? Is this the case? Or has Glen just been playing in a slightly deeper role for the 1st team because there is no one else? If Glen is more of an in the box striker then I'd love to see him and Templeton getting a chance together. Karapidis can play the role he does now, with Aguair pushing forward or dropping back to help depending on whether we're going forward or defending.

They are similar type players but in our current formation there are 3 positions behind the main striker and both can play on the left, right or centre...helps a lot they are both good with both feet.
