Tony Wonder Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 No match thread by Friday, I can see this one is capturing the imagination. An absolute must win for Levein, drop points here and the atmosphere will be poisonous. Part of me is curious to see that tbh, would be worse than Cathro's last game I reckon. Good news is Naismith is back, bad news is yet more injuries see Smith and Pereira out so we're likely to see Doyle and Brandon. Personally I'd stick Hickey at right back and play White.

Accies_LJA Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 We have history for both outcomes of this one. Will either be the standard Accies give away of a victory to a struggling manager or one of those glorious occasions we all live for where a defeat to Accies is the final nail in their coffin. Safe to say at £29 a ticket, I’ll be following from afar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 £29 to watch hearts pump us is not for me. 2-0 Hearts in classic Accies style giving a team on a poor run hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home win. Why? Hickey has played right back numerous times for the reserves and made his debut there, he's naturally two footed. He's much better there than Jamie Brandon.

Really we should be winning but we should be beating County at home as well. If we lose the end must be nigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 We just don't win at Tynecastle. It's telling that my happiest memory there was Darian MacKinnon's tustle with Austin MacPhee.Trying Easton out at LB for the reserves makes me think that McMann might not be back yet, but if he is then he and Easton should come in for Hamilton and Stanger. I'm sure I read that Davies will be back for this one too but I still expect Oakley to start. Midfield's a disaster and I have no idea what Rice will do with it, even if the anonymous Alston is fit again. Cunningham isn't cutting it, but I'd still rather persist with him than Miller who just doesn't want to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't see the point in playing Hickey out of position - however comfortable he is at right back - to accommodate White at left back rather than just playing Brandon. Levein would get slaughtered for it if we did anything other than win comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Hearts and Hamilton used to be a guarantee of umpteen fouls, plenty of bookings and less than 22 players finishing the game but recently they've been more like actual football matches Hearts players are a bit better at football than Hamilton so should win That said .. Hamilton haven't won at Tynecastle for 42 years since 1st October 1977 (When Jim Jefferies was captain) and that was the first time in 40 years so they are 2 years overdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too - I would have done the same last week when Smith went off injured. However, I read Levein saying he though Brandon had done ok at celtic, so he will likely be at RB. Shame Smith is out - no long throws, though, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £29 they can ram it and this pricing is as bad as The Old Firm away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
