Our youngsters v Their Youngsters.
For as long as I can remember now we have dominated the under 20's and lower ages against Hearts.
Sadly when our players come through they seem to collapse when they play Hearts. Yet Hearts players Walker, Holt, Nicholson and Smith all look a lot better when stepping up.
Stanton hid all game and couldn't pass wind. Handling again didn't get involved and dropped way to deep. Harris looked alright in little spells but faded big time.
If we are to match them we must start producing players who will when making the step up actually prove their salt and show they are first team players.
Nicholson scored a screamer and has been very good for Hearts since he came in. We simply keep losing to them and always bottle it when facing their kids.
Why is this?
