Next up, Friday night away to Alloa

Appere was already named on the bench prior to getting injured in the warm up, Neilsons went in to the match with the tactical decision to play Harkes on the right.... that is of course mental and worrying. Whilst I currently still like Neilson and think he is a massive improvement on the recent managers he is starting to show why Hearts fans wanted rid of him even though he was doing well.

If that's true then it's absolutely ****ing bonkers by the manager! What did Appere ever do wrong to get dropped in the first place? To think Harkes is a better option wide right than Appere, or as it would've probably been, Pawlett had Appere played, is quite frankly ridiculous.

Anyone know how many crosses were played into the Alloa box on Friday?,including corners and free kicks i would guess at between 20 to 30.Any kind of decent delivery or finishing and we would have won by a goal or 2.I honestly do not think we are anything better than an average side with a good goalscorer but although this current team would fight relegation in the top league they are too far ahead to be reeled in by any Championship side.

I said the other day, Robson put 14 balls into the box and only one of them found a tangerine shirt.

Yes i remember that post mate,i like Robson but his crossing on Friday was truly awful and that's being kind to him i'm afraid.

yeah but as above my point is he's not driving and creating, he stops to look for passes, Stanton would drive forward

Correct. Stanton did his best work in the final third, rarely allowed to play there. We're definitely missing that by the sound of it
