I don't think we're as bad at the back as Aberdeen have looked, but we can lose a goal absolutely any time. We definitely have the forwards to make hay against this Aberdeen defence, but that requires the right midfield shape to give us an actual attacking strategy. If the midfield is right, I think we win. But that's far from a given. Tbf we've defended crosses fine this season. It's all the other stuff that's been pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith at pains today to emphasise that nothing has changed at Tynecastle after he has again been made manager. If his team play well and win tomorrow that will prove him wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked. 23 times in my lifetime we've won in the league at Tynecastle. Last time was in 2017. I have been fortunate to witness one of the victories. A cold January midweek evening 3-0 victory with Fraser Fyvie scoring. Without checking, I reckon it would be 2010. As for tomorrow, I would take a point.

Must confess to having just had the slightest of pre-train wobbles over my coffee this morning. But I'm definitely going to face the music. Anyway, here we go.

Stylish Kid Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 After weeks of sporting disappointment (Scotland losing in egg ball and football, a stinking run of Hearts fixtures), I have zero excitement about this. Needless to say I expect a reaction. I also expect Rowles to be dropped, but if rumours of Cochrane being out are true he might resurface at left back.... Anyway - Hearts to win, Shankland to score one and set up two on the basis he'll be fired up after another zero minutes call up for the national team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to be as old as @kingjoey or @Jacksgranda They nearly won the league at Pittodrie in 1964/65, strolling to a 3-0 win in the second last match of the season. All they had to do then was avoid a 2-0 home defeat from Kilmarnock, any other result would have given them the title. Alas and alack... Or, if they hadn't allowed the Dons to score two second half goals in the earlier fixture, making the score 6-3 for Hearts, Kilmarnock would have had to win the last match 4-0 to win the title on goal difference.* * average Edited September 16, 2023 by Jacksgranda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More positivity: 1 - It looks like all players are being played in their best positions. 2 - Morris isn't available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
