ring-of-fire Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Grainger was my MOTM with Gowzer a close second All in all a good performance and we looked a bit more sturdy compared to the end of last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverley Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 like the OP i was also a bit meh about grainger... sutton was the one that delighted me so pleased with his performance though.... looks like he could turn out to be a gem if he keeps it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Excellent replacement for Wallace based on today and his 45 minutes against East Fife. We'll get goals from his set-pieces as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csh Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 The boy done good!! Got up and down the park well.good delivery from set pieces, although he didn't get past the wall a couple of times. Him and McGowan probably the stand outs today. Thought the whole team played well. Midfield got forward to support Sutton, only downside a stupid booking for Zali, and we fell away a bit 2nd half.

vegas-voss Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 How good does McGowan come across in the tv as well.Totally level headed young lad that seems like he has always been in front of a tv camera unlike most other players who are caught like a rabbit in headlights.

jambonian Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Grainger certainly looked quite comfortable playing in there today. When the opposition were attacking down his side i felt quite confident he would come out on top most of the time, and he did. Impressed by McGowan at right-back, maybe they've found his best position? Sutton's time will come, had a thankless task up there today but coped reasonably well with what he had to do, shame he never really got the break of the ball but still delighted he's with Hearts.

Deodato Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 If he can keep that up we will have done some good business. Exactly. From the radio, it sounded like he's a bit of a throw in specialist too. That could be handy. Remember Robbie "The Tackle" Nielson's throw in's - helped us nick a few points. Deodato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkb Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 well what can i say Danny was my man of the match. That is the best performance from a Hearts full back at ibrox i can ever remember i was amazed how well he played and thought when we signed him it was a squad filler but WOW if he can kep this up what an absolute great piece of business. a possible star is born take a bow son and gowser was not far behind.

Big_Hearts_Runner Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It's only based on one game but I echo all above. Full-backs were pleasing today! Can't get carried away and say he's the best signing etc but very promising today. Like JJ said after, give it 10 games until everybody settles in. Equally we didn't see much of Sutton, I won't write him off based on one game away from home as much as I would say Granger is the signing of the season based on 93 mins. As I said mid-week however, 1.5 mill for a guy who played 9 games last season is a shrewd bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny1874 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Looks like a shrewd signing from Jim. We didnt miss Lee at all today, but its early days though for the guy.

bn jambo Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Grainger was brilliant today , and given time he will learn to come out and play naismith and the other rangers cu next Tuesday offside . I am pissed but I'm pretty sure he played naismith on side for there goal , one mistake but he will learn , the only player I'm disappointed with is mehdi thought he would offer more but kept getting caught with the ball , would rather suso but ,first half display and new boys , well impressed . It's between us and the victims for the title. Again yes , I'm steaming !!! FTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livi Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 With the crosses he can put in and with Sutton and Kyle (when fit) looking for them there should be plenty of goals and plenty of chances this season. Hurry back Big K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I must say that this morning I was dreading today especially when I thought how weak we'd be at full back. Then what happens is that was our strongest area on the park. So why did we not play McGowan at RB before now or is it a one-off performance.

Currahee! Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 He never really stood out when he played against us. So I was a bit 'meh' when we signed him. He was brilliant today. And for the 1st time in ages we look dangerous at corners. Lee who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Some players are just better with better players around them and some players just have the ability to step up a level. That's my assessment of Grainger. Very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T.F.Robertson Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 He has a good build on him, (ooh err, missus) gets up and down the park well, decent long throw and a nice left peg. All the ingredients, "just" needs to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tree Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Grainger had a great game. When lost the pace a bit 2nd half still put himself in right in front of the player for the ball, committed. SJ ST holder I know says he is a class above the rest of their team and only last season looked like he wanted to be elsewhere though. Trust in JJ here and think he will be consistent for us. All positive from todays performance with only Zal drifting and slightly erratic at times. With other players to come in for us also, a great point! McGowan came across great when interviewed too.

Chaps Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 DG was superb today, only downside is that he could have been tighter on naismith for the goal. He's got some delivery on him, can see us getting a few goals from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
