Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Scored 6, conceded 0, 7 points in the last 3 games. Most teams in Britain would bite your hand off for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanes de Silentio Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Almost twice as many points as Hibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs are shite, but our away form must change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs are shite, but our away form must change. Managed to beat Motherwell, who looked certain to run away with 3rd place, and who are also a team we've struggled to beat in recent times. Dress it up in as many negatives as you like, but we're in good form right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dress it up in as many negatives as you like, but we're in good form right now. Our home form is good. I don't disagree. Great results and performances against Dunfy and M'Well. However, our away form is truly shocking. 1 win in 10. Lowest goals scored in Britain. Not dressing it up, it's fact mate. The boys need to get this away form altered. Fingers crossed. If we stay true to this "good form", the likelihood is another failure to win away. The league doesn't lie. Was just genuinely interested to find out why others think its been poor? Is it the away day tactics? Or just unlucky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Performance Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 5 changes from Saturday's team and we secure an away point. I'm quite happy we'll have our best team out on the 2nd to destroy them and go goals crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs are shite, but our away form must change. Prefer to look at form overall to be honest. Don't see the point in picking out wee bits and pieces. Changed team tonight and shocking conditions are probably the reason for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the away day tactics? Or just unlucky? We could, and should, have hammered Rangers on the opening day, but a lapse in concentration from our full back ended up losing as a goal. We were, debateably, the better side against Dundee United, but just lacked any decent delivery to score. We were also a missed penalty away from a point at Celtic Park. And a couple of centimetres away from 3 points at St Mirren. These incidents do suggest a severe lack of luck. Like I say, most teams defend against Hearts in great numbers and we always find it very difficult to break them down. We don't really have a team that can unlock defences and that's what's costing us. Although we've only won 1 game away from home this season, I'm interested to know how many we've actually lost?

Lost 4. Defensively we have been pretty solid. It seems it's a case of taking our chances and or creating them away from home. Hope Black and Elliott are fit. Really hope we turn the away stats around on 2nd. Just now it's got 0-0 or a 1-0 either way written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packed penalty areas and poor crossing seems to go hand in hand with Hearts games. Not enough to aim for and no-one good enough to hit the 1/2 men who're in there. From what I've seen, we're just not ruthless enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 When was Mr Jims last away win of last season? Seems like it's carried on from there and is probably more likely down to the players than managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the fact that Mehdi and Robinson now being regulars in the midfield change that ? I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I think Sergio is trying to avoid defeat away from home and trying to win as many home games as we can. It's a sensible approach aimed at stabilising the team during a tough period off the field. I think we've lost 4 away games this season and that includes Motherwell with 10 men and the pen miss against Celtic. St Johnstone was probably the only game that we've been really terrible. Drawing away from home in the spl is never a bad result and as the season goes on we will get the break of the ball and start picking up some away wins. I know the away stats look bad but it's really about points on the board overall and we're not doing too bad all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
