With a game in hand for us, as well. Talk about slim pickings Without playing a single proper home game. Avoid defeat here and we'll be ten points clear of Hibs come the return fixture.

Alan Stubbs Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Shame the thread is locked and I can't quote it properly but here is the last time I can mind Paulo predicting ten point leads. Quote Rangers utterly strolled it as well. I can see United winning it by close to ten points in the end. Were Hibs not about ten in front at one point? Just the 24 points off with that yin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 If we can get the first goal I can see us winning comfortably, however this seems a big ask for us at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts have finally evolved into what their dimwitted, inbred fans have obsessed over for years, and that's Hibs. I do actually think there is something in this, I've said it before but there is a bit of a 'Hibs' element about us (certainly last season) where we just accepted failure and made excuses afterwards. It's been fairly obvious in the last 2 cup games (2016 and 2017) where the Hibs players and fans just wanted it more than us - we used to turn up at the derby and know we would take something from it but that's been gone since we came up from the Championship. The atmosphere at Easter Road in the away end has been brutal, so flat. Having said that, I'm hopeful that Craig Levein is going to bring back the passion and fight in the team. A bit worried that we're going to sit back for the first 30 minutes and ride it out until Levein and MacPhee have read the game and change it to suit them, whereas it sounds like we'd be best going for it and getting the early goal considering Hibs' performances lately. I'd go with a similar team to the one we finished with against St Johnstone, with Cowie in place of Cochrane (he doesn't deserve to be dropped but like has already been said, I think he's too lightweight to be chucked in to a derby). Henderson is probably the same but he's got the pace we need, and would much, much rather have him on the wing than Lafferty shoved out wide again. An early goal and I think we'll win, if we've not gone for it and sit back at the start of the game then I'll start to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I speak for all Hibs fans when I say we were gutted not to have been promoted first time round and instead stayed down and won the Scottish Cup putting your mob out on the way. Would much rather have went up that first season and dossed around mid table in the Premier and got pumped by a bunch of Maltese waiters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowie has no heart and is anonymous in most games. Think Gorgie Road ^^ has summed it up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm a lot less confident about this than I'd have been if Cathro was still there. Lennon handled the cup games really well last year, don't think a Levein team will look as naive and easily outfought. Much as I was laughing at the league table chat earlier, I think it probably does reflect that the teams are pretty evenly matched. I'd be surpised if Hibs, Hearts and Motherwell don't end up 4th-6th in some order. Hearts don't seem to be scoring or conceding much and we're getting by whilst shipping too many pishy goals. Hopefully Levein does play it quite negatively and we can take control early. If we don't, Hearts have a good chance to nick it. I don't think we'll keep a clean sheet on Tuesday. 24 minutes ago, Elixir said: A bit like the gap between us the year we ran away with it - leaving you down there for a further two seasons. That was quoted as an example of your stellar prediction skills, rather than through any pride about our points total last year.

Boostin' Kev Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Looking forward to this one. Having spoken to jambos there seems to be quite a lot of pressure on Levein for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 There’s no doubt Hearts will score. Probably Lafferty after we fail to deal with a set piece or a cross ball. I’m worried Lennon goes for a similar team that started against Celtc. I’d want us going for it from the off with plenty of support being provided for Stokes. I reckon Swanson might get a start as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1875 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Get Slivka at right mid to f**k 4-4-2 narrow diamond, Bartley behind McGinn & McGeouch with Slivka sitting at the top of the diamond. Stokes & Murray or up front (Shaw on from the bench) As for goalie and defence... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulises de la Cruz Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Maybe have Boyle up top with Stokes? I can see Lennon shaping up the same as Saturday but with Whittaker and Marciano coming back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
