Robbie Neilson is trying to implement a style at Hearts and that's admirable. But you cannot have delusions of grandeur and you cannot be one-dimensional.
Right now, that’s how it’s coming across and it needs to change. Hearts are in the midst of a very tough spell and I understand it is difficult. All the travelling for Europe, games every three or four days, a long injury list. But, to be honest, I don’t think I saw it being this difficult and, while some of the issues are outwith their control, other problems on the park are worryingly self-inflicted.
Listen, I’ve been so positive about Hearts, but I’ve also been so disappointed with recent games. I was at Kilmarnock a week past Sunday and Hearts were all over the place. The rain was battering all ways on an artificial surface, but there was this grandeur of: We can play out from the back, we are better than that, we have this new style. Sometimes you just have to play the situation. It’s Rugby Park on a Sunday, it’s p****g with rain, just get go and win the game.
