Stamatelopoulos used that exact approach very well during his best forgotten spell at Fir Park Dave and i suspect Hendry might be doing the same.

Said for me i thought he was excellent the whole game, never stopped running, a special mention for SPH, he had a couple of decent chances and was unlucky not to score.

Aye rejecting the alleged £2 million bid from Anderlecht seems like a big error now if it was true. Given how we cashed in on our previous one season wonders like Higdon, and Bair, for me the board dropped the ball with TJ.

Well said, great post.

Stats are irrelevant pish, Hearts had not won a game away from Tynecastle since January 26 until today. So its how the team performs on the day that matters, previous or current form or lack of count for nothing. We created a fair few really good chances today and took none of them thats why we lost, repeat the decent play that made those chances and convert them into goals and we may win on Wednesday night. Thst said we are hopeless up top just now so hopefully a solution can be found, so keep the faith people.

If we can move them on then let them go, we only want players who want to be at the club and fully commit to what they are asked to do, there is no room for passengers.

From what we have seen over the last 5 games i would have to say no we dont.

All it takes Dave is some random comment ie "AJ has lost the dressing room" and it grows arms and legs as it makes its way on social media, then some other random post appears quoting it as gospel from an impecable clib source. We will know for sure if and when the sacking is announced, till then its made up BS.

Its 9 games in, 29 to go and 87 points on offer ffs, technically every one of the 12 teams can potentially win the league. So its time we all relaxed and dropped the manager must go, we are getting relegated chat, and lets see where we are in 10 games time at the halfway point.

The result is far more important than the performance, we need 3 points to stop the rot, so i'll take a scrappy Controverdial Var assisted goal in the 94th min if it means we win.

Spot on Dave. But you forgot to mention that our current midfield is way below the standard set by Just, Watt and Slattery last season. Im hopeful though that we can get back to something approaching that level if AJ can get Fadinger, Lowry and Priestman on the pitch together as a mid 3, with McGhee behind them in front of the defence, assumig they all stay fit.

Behave yourself and stop talking pish why is it unacceptable? A Stupid statement in a nonsense thread, can we have HOTD back please and send this thread into it.

I'll be short and sweet, i can see why you think AJ should go now, but for me 8 games in is far too early, and given how tight the league is, 2 wins could see us 4th. That said, unless we get a positive reaction from the team over the next 3 games ie at least 7 points then the board should be looking at AJ's position. The silky football we had last season under JBA and an exceptional team was great to watch, and we hoped it would continue this year, but if not, staying in the Premiership is the priority and that might involve a change of mansger and style. I

Correct 🤦‍♂️ aw, well given the run we are on it will make no difference.

We are playing Hearts at Tynecastle where they have not lost in ages, it will make no difference who AJ selects it will be a pumping, for me this run of non form is officially a crisis. 2-1 up in a game nearly an hour in it should be shutters down and see ghe game out at the very least, our alleged defence is brutal just now.

Harsh but fair 😂

Well said, lets concentrate on discussing the things that we know for certain are crap, the POD seats, Vogt, Grizzlys attempts at humour, Vogt, MJC's predictions etc.

I see Hibernian are taking decisive action with some of their support for allegedly misbehaving, i wonder if it will catch on. Hibs ban fans group for three games after disorder - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmde8dx2263lo

Thats the best way to find out if all the coaching, words of wisdom, confidence boosting, tactics etc that AJ and his staff have no doubt given Vogts in recent weeks has been absorbed and learned by the player. Sadly for me after his lack of any meaningful contribution last Sunday the answer would seem to be no. Stamatelopoulos was not up to standard but early on he gave glimpses of him potentially being a decent player, we dont even get that with Vogt, hes like a rabbit in the headlights no idea where he should be aimlessly wandering about the pitch. For me i really dont think hes at the or ever going to make the standard we need at the club.

AJ has had to totally rebuild the team over the summer, losing players of the quality of Just, Watt and Slattery, with all their goals from midfield, Welsh and McGinn( long term injury) from defence. Add to that Maswhanise having a once in a career (Bair / Higdon )season and the ongoing 1st pick. Players like JK and priestman still out wiith long term injury no wonder we are struggling. It will take time to get a settled team, and all the 1st pick players back available, so why dont we cut AJ some slack. We are no worse off than last season at this stage in this league 3 or 4 wins and its suddenly top 6 etc as we saw last year. Judging and condeming the manager after a 4 game poor run is nonsense, coyw.

Aye he was great for us, nothing we could do keep him though as he was well out of our reach financially, we gave him a platform and he took his chance well, i hope he does well and gets a chance to play in the EPL with Swansea.

Stop feeding the troll, its best practice never to argue with an idiot as they drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

It was a Starting 10, playing Vogt is like taking the field with a man down.

Vogt needs to convince a lot of people that hes capable of making a positive contribution to the team as hes shown feck all evidence of it in his game time so far.

Nah no chance of us being involved in any relegation or playoff dramas, for me Killie, St Mirren and St Johnstone are the bottom three. I am confident we will finish top six again.
