the jambo-rocker Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 With Wednesdays pumping taken into account they will absolutely have the bit between their teeth and show a reaction. They'll come out if the traps, we'll start slow like we always do and be 2/3 down inside the first half hour. Let's just get this one out of the way as quickly as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a slow start by Hearts is almost guaranteed. If we hold of to half time still 0-0 then we have a chance. I predict Rangers 2 - 1 Hearts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I am almost certain we'll start slowly which is always our downfall in these games. But I think if we can hang in there til about the 20-25 minute mark, the crowd will start to turn and we can take advantage of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Rangers were 6 points clear a few weeks ago and now there's a good chance they'll be 4 points behind by kick-off in this match. The pressure on them currently is bigger than they've probably experienced for at least a couple of years. Maybe they'll rise to the occasion (they're more than capable of turning us over regardless) but that's something we have to try and take advantage of. But yeah, we'll probably be passive from kick-off and not start playing until we're behind. I didn't think for a second we'd be playing Souttar in this match a couple of weeks back but I'm beginning to think a non-trying Souttar is still better than Taylor Moore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Why would you reckon that Souttar won't be trying against Rangers? I don't know the player that well but what indication has he given that he would down tools against his future employers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same - between Moore and Atkinson, we look weak on the right side of our defence -Atkinson is capable of putting in a shift, but is better coming forward - still not convinced by Moore. Wonder when Smith's available again. Edited February 4, 2022 by paranoid android 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think that, and based on his limited game time since signing the pre-contract I've no issues with him playing in this. I just wanted to make a wee joke about Taylor Moore being a bit dodgy tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also no really conceded much down that side in the last two games, though Moore has certainly had a few dodgy moments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Think I'm in the minority but Moore has looked fine the last few games. Use of the ball could be better, and the odd slip but for someone that's not started much he's done OK and we've kept two clean sheets. Atkinson I thought was decent on Tuesday. Final ball was frustrating but was defensively pretty solid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll take him a while to get his match sharpness back. Atkinson will be fine. Did he not flash a good cross over the Hibs goal that Boyce somehow didn’t manage to attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt a great cross if its the one I recall - I was right behind and he sclaffed it. I agree prev assessment, he was pretty good in defence, and not so good in attack................kinda the opposite of most modern wing back types ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 No reason for Hearts not to get a result here, other than Neilson. Passed on a ticket for this one as it's quite a lot of hassle on a Sunday at 4pm and I don't trust him not to do his usual of a shite start leaving us too much to do. If that happened with me at Ibrox, I'd be fucking seething. I'd rather be sitting in my living room seething that I've not bothered and we've won. So, option B, please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to take this one in on the telly, and haven’t watched the highlights back. Looked like a decent cross to me at the time. Fair enough though, I only saw it the once. I’d be more critical of Boyce on that particular occasion tbh. I’m always reluctant to make my mind up on players before I’ve seen them after a run of about ten games. I have good vibes though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
