Jela & Healy

[joker69 60]

Only managed to catch second half yesterday on a stream, Healy seemed quiet.

A lot of us have been clambering to see this partnership so would love to hear some views from those at the game yesterday.

[Clemdog 39,389]

Healy was quiet apart from a shot well saved by the keeper.

Bar Miller of course, the player who has gel'd the best with Jelavic, imo is Fleck. Even though he is not played as an and out striker.

[supermac 115]

Yes I believe he is the best available to partner Jelavic, Healy was unlucky in the first half not to score. We did well considering every time Lafferty had a half decent chance he skied it

[Muff 245]

Too early to say, although there were more positives than negatives IMO.

Some of their link-up play was good, some thing's they tried never came off, but you could see a good bit of understanding. Healy made some very intelligent runs and was always looking to support Jelavic.

He tired and fell out the game. Still not fully match fit by the looks of it, but he's a worker.

Jelavic needs a partner, a blind man can see that and the Healy - Jelavic partnership should continue.

I agree regarding Jela and Fleck, but I think Healy did fine yesterday too.

To answer the question did it work... kind of is the answer

Can it work though? Absolutely

[Govan Front Antz 15]

Although you cant judge after one game, i thought it has potential.

I thought they linked up well, and Healy was buzzing around causing a nuisance of himself. Healy was unluck to score in the first half. Jelavic his first goal with his left foot, his back heel for Papacs goal and his 2nd goal, just stroking it in.

Didn't quite work out yesterday, but very few partnerships work first time out.

The important thing is that there were good signs that a potent partnership could well develop between them as they play together more often

[simon 1,768]

Given time, they could really work well together.

I watched Jelavic for a bit yesterday, his movement is superb if we had someone who could make the most of it other teams wouldn't stand a chance.

If David Healy is that man then great and if Steven Davis starts playing more like he did yesterday then we will see the best of Jelavic.

I am not one for harping on about ex players but I do think if we still had Mendes we would be unstoppable. Davis Mendes in the middle with Weiss and Naismith or Wylde or Diouf down the wings. That would do me nicely.

[Papa Sasac 164]

No Edu or McCulloch then?

[Dexter25 2]

Thought they done ok yesterday although they will nedd a few games together before we can properly judge the partnership.

WHEN HEALY HAD THE BALL HE MADE PASSES AS THEY WWERE WHICH IS MORE THAN WE CAN SAY FOR BIG LAFF HE FCKD TOO MANY CHANCES HEALY JUST NEEDS A FEW MORE GAMES BUT THE MOTHERWELL AT HOME AND ST JOHNSTONE A THOUGHT WE JOHN FLECK HAS CAME ON TO A GAME

[caseyjones 3,009]

They'll have another chance on Wednesday night!

[Amac9 2,060]

First time they had really had a proper run out together.

You have to remember that Healy has not had 70 minutes of football in months.

But Jelavic wants Healy as his strike partner. Jelavic said to him in training last week, 'You and me up front'

[nemisis 358]

It would be extremely silly to judge a striking partnership after one game.

[JimmyCR1 1,564]

I think the main thing is that it works better than the big man up on his own, hope we play with 2 up on Wednesday.

[Gaz52 11,837]

It could be a HELLAVIC of a partnership, hah, hah, hah did you see what I did there

[nemisis 358]

No what was it

[disgruntled_bear 157]

Nothing yesterday changed my mind on this partnership, Healy is better used as a impact sub than starting. At this moment in time we would be better starting Fleck, and give him more experience linking up with Jelavic.

[nvager 498]

It has possibilities once Healy gets fit.

[rollman1972 0]

soz bout caps lock again thats twice nu

[Irwin Sparkes 97]

None of our partnerships have looked particularly effective

The only remaining option is to play either Naismith or Diouf as an out and out striker alongside Jelavic

[jimgers 565]

Thought Healy's work rate was good and he can tackle, doesn't look like one to lose the head too easily so for me definitely worth an start on Wednesday.

[GaryMc 2,409]

I think Fleck and Jelavic look better together.
