Well done Tart. On the ball as ever.

 

Sticking with my prediction of a close fought 2-1 win. Much prefer the optimism of cammy though and he may well be right.

 

Just hope Robbie has drummed into the players that there can be no reduction in intensity because its not Hibs or Sevco we're playing. 3 points fromRaith is of equal value. Also hope the players aren't complacent about playing to full houses. Our crowd should be inspiring them to maximum effort.

3-0 and it'll be our first legitimately good performance of the season as the maroon juggernaut gains momentum.

Raith are a decent side. We'll win, but it wont be easy.

 

I'll go for a 2-1 win, with the Prince and Buaben both nabbing 2nd half goals.

I see an error with this post.

 

Anyway Hearts by a narrow margin.

Robbie Neilson and Grant Murray to have a 'square go' on the touchline as the heatedly debate which one of the 1998 and 2006 Cup winning side was better.

 

In all seriousness, I reckon this could be a tough game for us. Raith have shaped up well and should be hard to beat.

 

We'll miss Sow up top but if we adjust our game right then we can offer a totally different threat with the likes of Oliver and Keatings - the latter of which I'm hoping can kick start his Hearts career this afternoon as I've yet to see much impact from him.

 

I reckon we'll take all three points, but we'll be made to work for it. Raith 1 Hearts 3. Ozturk, Keatings and Nicholson.

 

If anyone can't make the game I'll be live on Hearts TV with full match commentary, on air from 2.45pm.

 

Mon the JTs!

1-3. Wilson 1st scorer.

 

Exactly the same as in 1914.

 

Anyone know what odds on that?

Looking back at the fixtures I was still a single lad with no responsibilities last time we played there in the league. I'm now 40 with two kids who are well into their primary school years.

 

Anyway, back on topic. I'll be there today. I've come to expect us to be poor away from home. If we're going to seriously challenge this year then that needs to change. I'm being optimistic and going for a 2-0 win to us.

If we want to win this league we need to win today. The away games to rangers/hubs/Falkirk will be the tricky ones, the rest we should be aiming to win.

Keatings double.

 

We must work harder than them. They will press us but with them being at home they will be expected to go at us meaning some fat counter attacking football from the boys in maroon.

Spot on. We need to be disciplined and if we keep the head and play sensibly we have the quality to pick them off as the game opens up.

This, but I fancy James and Keatings to get the goals.

No wind and no Gollum today :)

 

Hopefully a good performance today with lots of passing, moving and creating chances for our strikers.

 

James Keatings to get off the mark would be good for his confidence.

 

With our strength in midfield, I believe we'll have too much for Raith, in the end.

 

Raith Rovers 1-3 Heart of Midlothian

Horseshit. We do NOT need to win. We should win but if we don't we can still win the league.

The thing is Laurie, I don't see why we should alter our game at all. Yes, sow is a big lad who can handle higher balls but he prefers it to feet and the passing game that Mr Neilson is employing should make the forwards interchangable to an extent. I hope we keep playing and building from the back. It's been very pleasing to see that, even when we've been under a bit of pressure, we have not reverted to hoofball, route 1 tactics.

Jesus DH, you life and mine could be doubles ecept I've got 2 girls in Primary school.

 

I think 1-2 today. Nicholson and Wilson.

Our team will win games by confidence, right now the first team will be full of it. If we dont win today then we will go on and not win at least half of our away games. That will not be form that wins the league. Today is massive for us, it is one thing for the team to be up for it against hibs/rangers but today we will see what we are all about against a smaller club.

 

For years we have seen our club raise the game against our biggest rivals only to fall when away to smaller clubs, for me today is a must win. Of course today wont decide the league, but it will show how good our squad really is.

Week 3 and injuries/suspensions galore so this will be difficult.....2-1 to Hearts,,,,,,,3500 away fans can't be wrong.........can they ? :tiny:

 

I'll go for Jason Holt to get one just to remind home fans of what they once saw playing on loan for them with Gary Oliver to seal matters.... or should we see Keatings now fully fit and ready to start his goalscoring for us ?

 

 

Scott Robinson, Osman Sow and Jamie Walker are suspended while goalkeepers Neil Alexander (broken cheekbone) and Scott Gallacher (ankle) are injured along with Callum Paterson (knee) and Dale Carrick (thigh).

Completely and utterly disagree. A squads merits are not decided on one away game.

 

You need only look at the best two league seasons we've had in the last 30 years for examples to prove that.

A win would be tremendous to maintain the kudos and momentum. Even a draw with our depleted team would do that to be honest. A defeat certainly doesn't do any particular damage on it's own but two or three in quick succession could.

 

Stating the bleeding obvious but you can't lose two in a row until you've first lost the first one. That's why the ability to rescue something from the jaws of defeat will be so important when the time comes.

 

I'll be delighted with any kind of win today. As ever it can come down to factors not entirely within our own control.
