Scotty Allan

[flash]

If he was struggling all week keep him on the bench and start Horgan. Don't understand how hanging him out to dry on the right wing is the answer.

If Hecky doesn’t want to play him in the middle (for whatever strange reason) then drop him to the bench and play a natural right winger there, don’t just shoe horn Allan in for the sake of it to an unnatural position. Bizarre tactics.

You can guarantee (if fit) that Allan will start every week central midfield from now on. The manager needs to keep the fans onside. So recent criticism may have helped.

All I'd been looking forward to since February was the return of Scott Allan. I was keen to see who else would be joining up at Easter Road but Allan was always going to be the main man. A really really talented player who is blessed with great awareness, 360 degree vision or extra sensory ability(call it what you want) to know what was going on all around him and not only that he possesses the ability to execute a pass, shot, dummy, cross consistently to create excitement in the crowd and a positive result on the pitch. How anyone who has spent their entire working life in football playing, coaching and managing at a decent level cannot see that whatever formation is setup Allan should always be at the centre of it. Not as a supporting striker or a No.10 or a deep sitting midfielder or as an isolated winger, but right bang in the middle to take advantage of his talent to dictate and run the game.

Whatever way you choose to look at it , that was a big mistake from the manager yesterday.

You really hate him.

[Leith Green]

The mistakes are starting to rack up now though. Yesterday playing allan out of position , his formation and tactics at ibrox , going 2 up top with 10 men at ibrox , signing joe newell to play as a left winger. Playing mallan and allan in the same midfield , blaming supporters for a poor performance, Those are just off the top of my head. There is a big reek of negativity around everything he does , tactics , formations , even his interviews stink of negativity.. I have nothing personal against him but I want us to change manager before this seeps through the entire club and fanbase

Hibs fans appreciate what Allan offers the team and recognise that he is someone you can build around. A player who can not only unpick a defence with a superb pass but is also willing to do the pressing that Heckingbottom talks about.

What's your reasoning for not appreciating him?

[Hibrandenburg]

We need to remember that Scott Allan is a diabetic. His blood sugar levels will be effected by a numerous amount of factors within and without his control and his energy levels will vary depending on that. It could have played a part in PH's decision to sub him yesterday.

My biggest criticism of Heckingbottom is I sometimes thinks he tries to be too clever.

Its always focussed on the opposition and Change the players/personnel to beat who is in front of us on a weekly basis.

For me, play your strongest 11 every game, the rest will take care of itself.

Gray Jackson Hanlon Stevenson

Slivka Vela

Horgan. Allan. Middleton

Kamberi

For me it was an easy choice with the starting 11 today.

We really need the lad Hallberg to be a big player.

Horgan hasn’t been at his best but he has still be contributing through goals and assists and is always a thorn for the opposition. Last week we actually played very good stuff imo and showed a lot of positives, albeit defensively were a shambles and a tad unlucky.

We need to let the team settle and players get used to who is around them and what their game is. The players will be going into games not having a clue what team or formation will be played.

I assume Fraser Murray was injured before he wasn’t in the team?

Spot on - the formation in bold is what I'd be playing.
Players in their right positions and a sane formation that can actually control the game.
I think you've hit the nail on the head saying he tries to be too clever.

Agree entirely with this, if Allan was not 100% then the last thing you would do is stick him in a position where he had to work harder going back & forward. Heckinbottom has pulled that excuse out the sweetie bag to cover for a shockingly bad tactical decision. He should have just said it was a poor performance and he takes responsibility, that way he gets a bit respect.

said this yesterday, he’s said before it’s played a part in him not playing 90 minutes

Yep. I don't see him turning this around so waiting and seeing is going to just leave us in a worse position with the season gone and, like you say, the negativity bleeding through the club.

[whiskas]

If Allan was struggling in training all week after playing 120 mins last week why even start him? Better to bench him and start with Horgan surely?
Bring him on as an impact sub in his preferred position

Completely ridiculous that a Hibs fan forum should appreciate their best player and question a manager who plays him out of position

While no player is bigger than the club (to use one cliche) Allan is a player you build a team around (to use another one).
There's a reason for that - in a Hibs shirt at least, he's one of the top creative players in the league.

I think we need to remember we are about Hibs and not Scott Allan. He wasn’t good enough to be a regular starter for Dundee, if he doesn’t fit the system he might not play. It isn’t a sackable offence, it is the manager trying to do the best for the club.

Hecky didn’t sign him....

Are you watching the games? SA was taken off and SM left on after SA was pushed out to a position he does not play and SM had contributed zilch.

PH is making some very poor decisions and it is costing us points/wins, he needs to wise up or do one.

Huge mistake but I don’t think we’ll hear the manager admitting that. SA is most effective playing just behind Flo.

Correct but when Scott allan is by far the only shining light in a horrible team that’s where fans will get involved.

Out of interest how long did you applaud for at full time.

I’m not pretending to be a super fan, just trying to balance out the insane level of negativity here.

For me the return to form of Flo is more of a shining light.

This has been covered in other threads but the myth that Allan wasn't good enough for Dundee is just that, an utter rubbish myth. He played plenty for them and they were desperate to keep him.

So desperate they swapped him for Simon Murray?
