Hearts: Your Views

The Jose Goncalves affair is a very curious one, according to this Jambo ...

John Fraser, Prestonpans: "Jefferies has lost considerable credibility by playing Goncalves only a short time after announcing the player would not be selected again until he signed a contract extension. How can a very strongly expressed principle be so easily reversed simply because of the injury situation? Also, after going to some lengths to try and convince the fans that the original decision not to play Goncalves was entirely down to the manager, it is somewhat curious that the approval of the Sport Director was needed to include the player against Dundee United. This contradiction only serves to confirm what the fans already know regarding the involvement of the hierarchy in the matter."

One fan wants another young player returned to the fold ...

B Duffy, Slateford: "With injuries crippling Hearts at the moment, added to the ongoing Goncalves and Nade disputes, it looks like the experience the younger players have gained will be vital. If Ryan McGowan was brought back from his loan at Ayr, another option opens up for JJ in defence."
