Jamdub Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well, maybe. But there's still a question in there that's worth asking. What's the nature of Driver's injury, or injuries, and when is he expected to return? Andy Driver will be back when Heart of Midlothian feel he is ready, we have already made the mistake of bringing him back too quickly from a previous injury and are paying the price.

Mac_fae_Gillie Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 knee injuries are one of the worst to overcome due to the stress they take. and very easy to have a recurring problem if rushed back into play. I admit it does seem overly long but footballers put huge stress on leg joints so best to be safe... No way is anyone pulling a fast one on this,Driver was our No1 player and due to be punted,we just got unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radge21 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Dont think for a minute Andy Driver is liking it any more than us. I am sure the medical staff at Tyncastle are looking after him, so we get the best out of him when he returns. Leave it to the medical experts who know about his condition.

He was warming up with the team at St Mirren Park a few weeks ago, taking part in the shootie in and running (albeit short distances) trouble free. I think it is a very valid question.

Totally my point every time one of these threads pops up. Nothing wrong with asking what the situ with Driver is but more often than not people are snide and accusing of him. Not the guys fault and I'm sure he can't wait to get back. I'll tell you this, I'd rather have Driver in the team than Temps. Nothing against Temps and he's a great option to have a crackin player, but Driver is a better all round player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maroonshrew Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 i agree. theres nothing wrong with asking what the situation. but theres "does anyone know whats going on with Driver, he seems to have been out longer than expected? Has there been any setbacks? and theres the accusing tone that was here. Iv even seen him called a wage thief on here, I will dig it out on request. Hes had a couple of bad injuries in his young career. I dont think hes a Darren Anderton or sicknote and I dont think hes shirking playing like Webster at Rangers or Pinilla seemed to do for us. Im sure theres nothing hed love more than to be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're both excellent players but Templeton is on another level in terms of natural finishing, shooting, skill and ability. Different types of players I suppose. Temps will maybe come up with the piece of magic that wins a game (which Andy has in his locker at times too), but Andy will give you more in the game in general. Put simply, Driver takes part in the game more and has more to his all round game. Love them both! Fully fit, Driver would start ahead of Temps though for me. Of course they could both play in our current set up. The 2Ts and Temps positions in the team are contested by those two, Driver, Arvy, Clum, Glen (kind of) and Suso. When all fit, that really ain't bad. Driver and 2Ts would be my first choices. I'm obviously hoping Andy comes back and plays as i know he can.

Debut 4 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Totally my point every time one of these threads pops up. Nothing wrong with asking what the situ with Driver is but more often than not people are snide and accusing of him. Not the guys fault and I'm sure he can't wait to get back. I'll tell you this, I'd rather have Driver in the team than Temps. Nothing against Temps and he's a great option to have a crackin player, but Driver is a better all round player. I hate to get into a debate about these two lads and trying to compare. Im just glad we have two very talented players like them at our disposal But to take up your point, i`d have to disagree. Temps can deliver more consistent good crosses into the box, he can go with both feet and is very strong on his weaker left foot, Driver`s right foot is for standing on. At times Templeton effortlessly glides past players and its a joy to watch. From distance, he can hit better balls. The only thing i`d say is that Driver has proven over a few seasons that he is a solid performer and Templeton has yet to establish that same consistency and we`ll find that out over the next couple of years. It seems more of a put down of Driver by pointing out these things but in the end they are two different players who both have strengths to offer the team. I really like Andy Driver. Great turn of pace and he has shown on occasion he can score great goals, provide goals and his workrate in hassling and closing down is excellent too. But i really think Templeton has got everything going for him to play at a very high level if he keeps progressing as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 So, over 20 posts in and no one has the answer to a very valid question.

I think they're both excellent players but Templeton is on another level in terms of natural finishing, shooting, skill and ability. Im on the fence but do you think it hold any value that Driver has yet to feature in a confident, football playing side enjoying relative success. He was too young for 05/06 and has been about in the years in between, with the Lazslo finishing 3rd season bign the only decent one although we didnt play much football. Also, is the brightests player of his generation comment a joke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richie83 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I have to agree that this is a very good question, why's he not played yet? I'm a fan of Driver and think he's a great talent, but jeez! Surely he should have played by now? Wallace bust his knee playing for scotland and was on the bench the other week, available if needed. Gary Locke wasn't out for that long with his knee and neither was R Tomachek when he bust his knee at parkhead. At this rate David Bust will be making his Coventry City return before Driver is back for us. John Kennedy might also see some action quicker. I'm not slating Driver for a second but you hear about other players coming back much quicker, are we cutting back on the physio and specialist bills? Driver should have been operated on, healed, trained, reserve games and then blooded back into the first team by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully believe you're wrong. I think they're both excellent players but Templeton is on another level in terms of natural finishing, shooting, skill and ability. I, like you, think he is. To be fair though, this poster was calling for Templeton to be dropped for the St Johnstone game, making the clear distinction that he didn't want to rest him, just not select him. It's just strange that someone who is particularly defensive about injury prone Driver isn't so about Templeton. Yup. Driver is a very good player but Temps is a phenomenon. Potentially the best Scottish player of his generation. I honestly think you are right. It's early days for the lad but I feel he is destined for great things. I'd wager that Templeton will bring in more money when he leaves than Driver and will go on to do better. I wonder, could the two play together? I honestly think they could Mrowiec, Black Templeton, Skacel, Driver That looks superb to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
