Is it just me or do we have the worst/ light weight / bullied off the ball midfielders in this league, how many times did holt get pushed off the ball? , 2-1 up with hearts having 10 men and we still looked as is we had the 10 men, we are far too slow, waghorn recieves the ball just over half way line, and it takes him 2 mins to figure out who to pass the ball to, the last 5 mins we could have wrapped the game up with the 2-3 good chances we had but yet again we loose the ball and cause ourselves a sweat . 3 v 2 and we still can't manage the simple ball to finish hearts off, conclaves took on at least 5-6 players on a few times and still managed to create a chance, . Surely we must have good replacements for defence because Clint hill was our best defender of the game and he's offski, tavernier going forward looks promising at times but every game he manages to put us under pressure either with a ball back to keeper or just stop trying to walk out of defence


McKay = could've so much better if he never sh** out so many 50:50 balls

Apart from that, millers ball to garner and the header was superb.

Agree with you there mate. I like wee holt but he is just far too lightweight.

I agree. Apart from the first 30 mins Hearts looked far better in all departments. Better passing and movement looked fitter and wanted to win the tackles. Miller was off boil yesterday giving away the ball all the time, holt was a waste of time and bates looks slow and scared. Tan is a goal against risk every game with needless errors. I am glad toral going back as he doesn't care. The sooner we get players to cover all areas instead of playing strikers all over the place the better. On a positive Widnas started making lots of good runs yesterday and didn't deserve to be subbed

Your right weedan this has been the problem for us all season we don't have any really big physical players who can really stand up to many if any of the other teams in this league and in my opinion that is all down to warburton who completely underestimated the physical nature of the premiership, but I think Pedro can see this and hopefully he can address the problem with his recruitment in the summer and get a decent blend of players in, because let's be honest warburton recruitments this season have been an absolute shambles hence the reason he paid the price with his job and rightly so in my opinion

No it's not just you, weedan. I don't know what they do in training but it can't be anything to do with how to take or win a tackle! I mean Kante is only a tiny guy but boy can he tackle. As you say Tav remains a liability in defence but usually he offers something in attack. Yesterday his final ball was shocking for most of the game. Waghorn's miss was criminal-yet again! Another website suggested they reached their level last year and both should never play for the club again. Can see their point but won't happen probably. By the way do you think that Kiernan, Forrester and MOH not even making the bench these days is a sure sign they're being shown the door. Also Bar jonas getting on before Halliday (he did OK) may be another one. Let's hope so. I think a crucial difference with the team under Pedro though is (the Celtic games aside where he got his tactics completely wrong) we seem to be able to play garbage and still win (Aberdeen, Thistle and yesterday the most recent examples) . Gives me hope for when he can put out his own team next season.

Windass got into the positions because he had the free role behind the striker watch a 're run of the game again every time he got it turned into nothing if McKay played there he wudav done a lot more with it windass isn't ready yet

I cannot believe someone thought Windass played well! He was his usual rank rotten and was rightly subbed just after 50 mins. Hopefully Accrington will come back in for him as lower league 2 is his level. We would have been better signing his dad

I don't expect McKay to get stuck in, I expect him to play as a winger and help win us games. (It would be nice if he was like Willie Johnston and could look after himself but I will accept him being like Willie Henderson or Davie Wilson) . What we need is a couple of midfield enforcers. A guy like Souness that can play the ball, (and the man when needed), that looks after himself and his team mates, someone like Hurlock and, going back in time, Harold Davis or John Greig.

At centre back we need an assassin, someone like Butcher, and a guy like Roberts or Gough alongside him.

Right now we have no one in either midfield or defence that meets those characteristics and our goalkeeper doesn't command his six yard box! From what I am hearing, Pedro wants to bring in players that add a spine to the team in more ways than one and I just hope that he is given the funding to bring in the players he wants!
