1971fozzy Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Was there today and a hard point gained. To all the roasters that say we're bad get a grip. We've not been at home yet ffs. We're getting over the abomination that was Cathro. That game today would of been a win with Lafferty with the balls going into their box. Get a feeling the complainers are keyboard warriors. We have our fight and passion back and once we're back at home for 8 games straight we will shoot up that league. There's no easy away games in this league unless your Celtic. It's really not hard to see that - unless you don't go of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do, and that would be an improvement on last year. However , atm they are catchable. Ranger drew with said team twice in the past week, hibs beat them at home and we drew at Ibrox. No need for the negativity. No reason whe we can't finish above rangers, however Rangers will also feel the same way about us and Aberdeen. Too many, too eager to file in behind the OF and kiss their ass for my liking. It's up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irufushi Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 A decent point in the end, we didn't play well, milinkovic gave us a bit of a spark when he came on, isma CANNOT play up on his own, especially if we haven't got runners, on the few occasions he did hold up the ball he had very little options. I get us playing a back 5 away to the likes of rangers, Celtic and Aberdeen, not sure I agree with it against anyone other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicante jambo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We should be happy with the point considering how bad we have been.We don't have the players to guarantee wins away to so called smaller teams.Once we get back to tynie the loints will start adding to the table but right now a draw away to anyone will suit me.

portobellojambo1 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Think we could have come away with all 3 points if we had approached that game differently, but in the end it hopefully acts as a good learning point. We have never been able to play with one man up front since Kevin Kyle dropped out of the team, and it again showed very prominently today. We should have started as we did last weekend, with two up front, and looked to build a lead and force them to open up, opening up the game as well. In addition, we now know who should be playing in the left back position, and it most certainly isn't Grzelak, at best he is a back up squad player. Even late on we ended up having to take Jamie out of his midfield role and put him up front as we went more offensive. Ended up with 1 point, which is all we deserved come the end of the match, but we won't be the only team who will drop points through there. Put what we learned yesterday into force next week at Dundee, and we will hopefully get back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Landmesser Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm encouraged by Levein's comments. He's basically admitting a needs must short term approach whilst at the same time giving a nod to the support that he understands we have to become much much better under his watch. He knows the expectation is for better than that today and I'm confident he'll weed out some of the gash that unfortunately we still have on our squad. He will know we are still well short in certain areas which was very obvious today. We barely deserved a point today but I'm pleased at Levein's sensible calm approach so far. Things will improve with him at the helm. I hope the Serb will get a start next week as to me he could help with our worrying but unsurprising lack of creativity in the midfield. We clearly can ill afford to be without Lafferty for long either given our poor options up front!You do know 'the Serb' is French right?

mitch41 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ive got to be honest here mitch but Ive got no idea what it is you're actually ranting about. I'm not all that convinced you know either. To be honest my wee pal you could be right. I was in hospitality yesterday and with the free bevvy and fab food i was in great spirits until the game started. I find it so frustrating that we play in a style that is all about NOT LOSING.One man up front isolated isn't my idea of a Hearts team playing Partick Thistle. A player like Randell in midfield says it all for me about negative tactics. I don't know about you "been here before" but i just want a better job done by tradesman Levein with the tools he has at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He was own his own against Aberdeen and was outstanding. Worked hard yesterday but nothing came off for him. That's true. So many times yesterday he had the ball and was the most advanced player, but had his back to the monsters in the Thistle defence and nobody was close enough to him, so he was forced to try and do it himself. Walker was usually the closest player about seven yards away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He was own his own against Aberdeen and was outstanding. Worked hard yesterday but nothing came off for him. I find Isma a very frustrating player. He was good against Aberdeen but has followed it up with two less than good games. Yesterday, however, he got next to no help. A point was probably what we deserved. McLaughlin had three howlers and we were fortunate only one resulted in a goal. A game we would have lost under Cathro.

Bighenry Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 So many people keep saying we played with 5 at the back.i would also say it's a 3 at the back. This can be a really positive formation or negative formation.seems to depend on each persons view. The problem for me is how much we rely on our two wingbacks going forward and a true target man. Smith has been ok on the right but left has been a problem again.isma is no target man. And we looked most likely in the match to lose a goal late on when we went 4 at the back by the way. The goal aside, I thought we looked comfortable at the back. The goalkeeper should have saved it but to his credit went on to have a good game.

gashauskis9 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Maybe a problem with your reading skills then? Is it a positive that we only take 1 point away to Patrick Thistle? Given that we?re still learning from our bad habits and that we were one down most of the match I?d say it was positive. We would have lost that game with Cathro or Daly in the dugout. At least we showed some fight and urgency. Partick are a top 6 side playing for similar table positions as us. To think winning games like this away from home is a cake walk shows arrogance imo.

ToadKiller Dog Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We are a repair job at the moment, which means we will be up and down for a while but will improve as games go buy. Also clear out side of celtic every team is capable of taking points off each other. Even much vaunted Aberdeen ain't great. I am OK with a point at this stage at Partick, if it comes round to a 2nd trip to firhill (hopefully not as it would mean bottom 6,) Then a draw won't be a decent result.
