I'm not trying to find a negative from today's win but I think Henderson maybe needs a little time on the bench. I had high hopes from his performances during pre season but unfortunately since the league campaign has started he hasn't been anywhere near good enough .

It’s not happening for him just now . He’s a talented boy though so wouldn’t write him off just yet .

He shouldn’t be near the team just now. I don’t think he’s at the level required anyway but his current form is well short of it. Really poor today.

Nah, that's *****. He's no playing well enough, but it's not cos he's not interested.

He is absolutely terrible. No fight, weak in tackle, no weight of pass. Doesn’t even get into a game never mind fall out of one.

If that’s our centre attacking midfield god help us

He’s in good company ……… lots of them are not up to speed. We’re bang average and will hover around the middle of the table, if we can improve.

He's here!

Needs to learn how to use his body to protect the ball , he is far too easily brushed off the ball . There is a good player in there , it looks like a lack of physicality that lets him down.

Even when it isn't working for him , he keeps trying to find a way in. You have to stick with players like that.

He was on the bench today. Came on in the second half, but by then Livi had won the match. He's not at the level Hearts need to be at. Ewan Henderrson, on the other hand, plays at a much higher level and is doing well for us. Not sure why there is a thread about a Hearts player, but hey ho.

Henderson offers very little body language says it all how long did he take to come off the pitch when subbed,
Game passes him by poor physicality doubt he will make at this level.

He looks like a player low on confidence, I've no doubt he'll come good.

I think he’s a player that needs game time to grow his confidence and understanding of teammates. Flitting in and out of the team is probably not really helping him.

An extended run in the starting line up would see him improve I’d say. Josh Campbell is a good example of that.

He had a bad game today - missed one absolute sitter, wasted another decent chance and just looked off the boil. Weird as he looked like he was really coming onto a game in pre-season and set to fulfill the potential that saw him signed last season.

Yep , totally agree . Glad he's getting into the positions and I'm not writing him off , just don't think he should be starting at the moment

You hit the nail on the head. He is a central midfielder at the top of the 3. He hasn't actually played that role but he needs space (central) to show what he can do. I was disappointed by fitness though but that went for whole team.

I thought he was okay today. Definitely got in good positions and was the one midfielder getting forward. Things didn't come off but on another day it might come off. He does look very reluctant to use his left foot and if you don't have pace then it is difficult to beat a man with one foot.

Thought he had a very good pre season. He's a bit lightweight but must use his flair to his advantage. Hopefully he becomes a lot better. I think he will struggle to get into the team once everyone's fit though.

Disappointed he didn't go out on loan with a replacement coming in. Opinion hasn't changed from last season.

Agree with that. Think hes too lightweight for the SPL and I too think he wont be in the starting eleven when we have more fit players.

He didn't look great when he came off. As soon as he got to the dug-out one of the staff motioned for him to go down the tunnel, he looked to be in discomfort and maybe unwell. Hope he's better soon.

After the match Jamie McAllister said Henderson and Campbell were unwell.

Henderson as 1 poster said is better off the front and not in the wide position. A creative player who is more than capable and I for one wouldn’t consider loaning this lad out as he is more than capable.

Been really disappointed with him. Thought after the league cup he had a chance to kick on but not happened. Really struggled today.

He’s not good enough, played well against lower league teams but well short of what we need to challenge for top 6 in SPL.

Pretty much how I see him.

He looks every bit the player that would struggle for game time at Ross County and Dunfermline when he comes up against SPL teams. I don’t think he’s good enough.

He is absolutely terrible. No fight, weak in tackle, no weight of pass. Doesn’t even get into a game never mind fall out of one.

If that’s our centre attacking midfield god help us

Last season when we had him on loan he did look too lightweight, but his passing, reading where players were going to be and general play were all good, some lovely weighted balls and chips into the box just the whoever was on the end ****ed them up more than often. In pre season he looks like he bulked a bit and things were coming off for him.

There is no way this laddie is terrible he is technically a very good player and I think he will prove to be a good signing for us, he still get shoved off too easy, we are loaded with forward options and I thought nearer the end of the transfer window we would maybe loan him out to livingston or kilie or someone he get more game time with instructions on what to do bulk him up a bit more, a loan to christmas with option to extend until end of season like Clarkes was with us, if he's doing good and we were doing ok let him play out the season there build his confidence bulk up and come back a stronger laddie with a full season with one of them under his belt, I know he has been on loans before us but he was even more lightweight and raw back then.

But aye although I think he's got talent and is going to turn out to be a good signing and probably get us a decent fee or stay as one of our main players if he doesnt quite reach the levels exoected but still improves id be happy either way. Mad he looked better in maloneyball last season, although he looked decent preseason for LJ too, think he's maybe shot of confidence. I also liked when he played more central behind the strikers a few times last season, he was spraying the ball out wide and getting it forward into the box.

I agree he hasn't been great but don't agree he's a terrible player. Definitely a player and not just one of them that we think "ah theres a player in there somewhere" like what used to get said bout Slivka etc.

Think if Mcgeady hadn't got injured we would have maybe loaned him out in a 2 part phase like we had with Harry Clarke to a team in the SPL he will be playing every week with a plan to get experience and work on his weaknesses and bulk up and be back after world cup whenever that window will be, not sure if its the same with the timing of the WC, if not until end of season, games under belt hopefully confidence boost and bulked up and we continue to improve on that next pre season when he will still only be 23.

But aye i was surprised to see him starting there today. I probably would have played Tavares there, he links up with Cabraja quite well.

If we stick with that formation I would have tried Youan there infact with Boyle where he was, and Melkerson through the middle, I like Melk through the middle, he was just too isolated last season and got thrown in at the deep end but still looked decent and knows where the net is. Youan and Boyle link well they would also cut inside get the ball through to Melkerson, he definitely would have put away one of the several chances Youan missed and I think Youan is class.

Boyle and Youan stretching the defences then getting it into melk or cutting inside and trying themselves think we would have scored a few,

When Mcgeady is back I know he's out wide most of the time but he's played where campbell was playing today behing the striker in the past and he has all the tools for it, we've got pace on the wings I think if he stays injury free he would look brilliant there when back. I thought he was old and past it coming for payday but he still a class player from what I saw before he got injured,

I like Kenneh too, Newell was quieter second half today but his goal won us the game and he was still involved in quite a bit going forward seond half with Kenneh covering, Not that he had too much defending to do but he did and was glad to see him back in. I think Magennis if still the same as before and him would be really good together.

I know I've went of tangent here talking about the whole squad so aye. I think Henderson is a talented laddie whos only going to get better but shouldn't be starting just now. He looked like something was bothering him tbh.That doesn't excuse his other not good performances since league started but I hope he didn't get injured and tried to play through it and possibly have another injury as he deffo looked uncomfortable look about his face and body language.

Maybe im just paranoid as im always waiting to hear about our next injury.

Mckirdy although not on for long, considering he knows noone at the club and just got thrown in I thought he handled it excellent, was keen to get involved in everything. he could maybe do the role through the middle with Youan and Boyle either side when/if upto it but definitely looks like he is although he got a bit excited and lost his composure when he got through for that one on one. Plenty others missed worse though and looked good considering I don't even know if hes probably only had one training session.

A front two of him and Melk with boyle youan on the wings cabraja and cadden overlapping with kenneh and Magennis if/when back sounds no bad to switch to aswell. I dont know much about the young big striker we signed at all so have no idea what level he is at?

Speaking of magennis remember about a month ago we got an update to tell us they would be updating us on him soon and then about a week later said he was back in training, has there been any news since? Has he done much is he like anywhere near playing with the under 23's to get sharpness etc anyone know?

Sorry for going of tangent when it was onlt about Henderson a got a wee bit carried away there with ma brain ticking away eh.

Does he though thats the thing? one game against Norwich reserves is what a lot of us have seen of him recently,Don't think anyone knows how good tait would be at this level but clearly the management team don't think he is ready and they see him every day

J-C
04-09-2022, 10:56 AM
It may be a case of another managers signing not fitting into a new ones tactic/plans etc. Henderson should play behind the striker but we play a midfield 3, 1 holding, 1 with energy and 1 playmaker style, it wasn't perfect yesterday by all means but you could see what the management are trying to get from the midfield 3, Henderson doesn't fit in there. Also has to be remembered he's not really played a lot at this level apart from the very odd sub at Celtic and a few games at lower level, he reminds me of Sam Stanton, technically good but not strong enough mentally or physically to play at this level.

On yesterdays performance I really don't know what he can add to the team.

He has no pace, poor control, no physical strength, unable to make simple passes....the list goes on.

Is he another one now deemed for the development list cos he shouldn't be anyway near the 1st team. Our coaching guys have some job on their hands trying to improve the likes of him and Bojang.

I actually think Henderson is a decent player but missing chances like yesterday won't do him any favours with the support, tait looked good against norwich but then doesn't get another chance so something is clearly not working for him in training

Why are we starting players that aren’t well?

That’s my thoughts too. Starting a square peg in a round hole, who is ill, and who generally only makes it to half time when he’s shunted out to that position. Or when Campbell played left back against Rangers rather than playing Macintyre. What’s the point in having a new youth/b team strategy when we’re still so reluctant to ever play youngsters in their natural position when the opportunity arises.

It’s a more general moan, but what did we learn yesterday by playing an unwell player in a position he hasn’t been able to play previously, taking him off just after half time, while Tavares sat on the bench.

blackpoolhibs
04-09-2022, 11:57 AM
You can see he has ability but as others have said, the game passes him by at times, and he's very very lightweight.

Another who will apparently be better in the future.

We wouldn’t really have had anyone to replace Henderson I don’t think other than JDH, but they’re totally different players.

Tavares, McKirdy, Stevenson at LB and push Cabraja? Boyle on the left, Miller on the right? Even Josh Campbell and JDH in the middle?

Is it not better to leave a player who is ill and not playing their usual position out and play someone who’s fully fit?

I like Kenneh too, Newell was quieter second half today but his goal won us the game and he was still involved in quite a bit going forward seond half with Kenneh covering, Not that he had too much defending to do but he did and was glad to see him back in. I think Magennis if still the same as before and him would be really good together.

I know I've went of tangent here talking about the whole squad so aye. I think Henderson is a talented laddie whos only going to get better but shouldn't be starting just now. He looked like something was bothering him tbh.That doesn't excuse his other not good performances since league started but I hope he didn't get injured and tried to play through it and possibly have another injury as he deffo looked uncomfortable look about his face and body language.

Maybe im just paranoid as im always waiting to hear about our next injury.

Mckirdy although not on for long, considering he knows noone at the club and just got thrown in I thought he handled it excellent, was keen to get involved in everything. he could maybe do the role through the middle with Youan and Boyle either side when/if upto it but definitely looks like he is although he got a bit excited and lost his composure when he got through for that one on one. Plenty others missed worse though and looked good considering I don't even know if hes probably only had one training session.

A front two of him and Melk with boyle youan on the wings cabraja and cadden overlapping with kenneh and Magennis if/when back sounds no bad to switch to aswell. I dont know much about the young big striker we signed at all so have no idea what level he is at?

Speaking of magennis remember about a month ago we got an update to tell us they would be updating us on him soon and then about a week later said he was back in training, has there been any news since? Has he done much is he like anywhere near playing with the under 23's to get sharpness etc anyone know?

Sorry for going of tangent when it was onlt about Henderson a got a wee bit carried away there with ma brain ticking away eh.

You’ve covered everything there :greengrin

Tavares, McKirdy, Stevenson at LB and push Cabraja? Boyle on the left, Miller on the right? Even Josh Campbell and JDH in the middle?

Is it not better to leave a player who is ill and not playing their usual position out and play someone who’s fully fit?

Forgot about Tavares.

The rest of them would have just been putting players out of position into the void left by Henderson although I suppose Henderson is out of position himself playing there.

Out of position but at least 100% fit. If he’s that unwell that he’s subbed and goes straight down the tunnel he shouldn’t be playing.

Henderson offers very little body language says it all how long did he take to come off the pitch when subbed,
Game passes him by poor physicality doubt he will make at this level.

Did all the body language experts and fitness coaches out there also read the post re McAllister (sp?) that he wasn’t well and that’s why he was taken off?

He just needs to double his porridge intake.

When he plays in his proper position he'll be one of our best players.

He has played his actual position a number of times already this season and hasn’t been anywhere close to one of our best players

You can see he has ability but as others have said, the game passes him by at times, and he's very very lightweight.

Another who will apparently be better in the future.



I think that part really stood out on Saturday. Too easily muscled out by their defence.

At least we know he can improve on that side, as all players do nowadays, but we'll just have to wait and see if he's going to improve technically.

In my opinion he is a no 10, he missed 2 good chances on Saturday at least he was there to miss them, that’s what we want from him Newell and Josh Campbell to get in to good positions and add a few goals.

After the match Jamie McAllister said Henderson and Campbell were unwell.

Got to say, 1st half Hendo was playing right in front of me in the East & he didn't look like he was playing "with a smile on his face". Makes sense if he was not feeling well. Here's to a speedy recovery for both from whatever's bothering them.

I quite like him and he is a goal threat however at this stage would be happier to come off the bench. He is someone capable of having an impact.
