Very decent start to his Hearts career.

Energetic, direct, attacking, gets himself into goal scoring positions. I like the look of him.

Deserves to start the season for me.

Fair play to him, he's done well, i get the feeling that he's only been played because of the grief Neilson has got for not playing youngsters. 
He deserves to start if our recruitment is still piss poor. (still no decent signings)
Miles from the finished article, and would have been better placed to start if he'd had game time in the championship.

I actually thought he was just chucked in for the sake of it as well but he's taking his chance at least. Deserves a start ahead of McEneff at the moment.

Trying my best not to take anything away from him, but you've got to remember that we've only been playing diddy teams.
The usual suspects on kickback are loving our unbeaten run, it's a bit pathetic, really.

True, although we do tend to make a pigs ear of our League Cup groups, so to have won the group with minimal fuss suits me. 

The early signs are positive for Pollock. The real test will begin next week, though.

Wouldn't have pollock against celtic although the way they're shaping up it might be prime for his harry cochrane moment.

He reminds me a bit of Cochrane actually but gets around the pitch far better.

Tony Mcdonald was better than Cochrane, showed bags of talent and was pumped out the door. 
Conor Smith looked the part over a year ago as well, only now is he getting a sniff. 
The cunts in charge don't know what they're doing.

Thought he had another decent game yesterday.

Should probably have had a brace but the fact he is even getting into those positions is very encouraging. A goal scoring box to box midfielder maybe Wow

Agreed. You know we’re going to sign some jobber and he’s going to get kicked to the kerb though.

It would be vintage Hearts for him to feature all pre season and then go on load to Hutchie Vale the last day of the window.

You just learn not to get excited by these guys coming through because even if they’ve got talent hearts will fuck it up somehow Monty Oh Well

I'd say a loan would be ideal if we had a strong enough squad, but we are so light on numbers that it can be argued that Pollock can be considered a starter for the season.

I’d give him the first 5 games and see how he copes. If he’s struggling then go for a loan.

There has to be some sort of incentive for youngsters playing well other than going to Arbroath for a few months Laugh
