It's going to be a rollercoaster season but very reassuring to know there is plenty of defensive steel and bags of determination in the team.

maroonlegions Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I suppose that the defence like the midfield and those who play up front deserve credit where credit is due and our defence held firm when our backs were up against a red wall today, good point today and our unbeaten run continues.

Time to regroup and rest for the massive game on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 We should never be happy about scraping a draw against teams like Aberdeen. We've worked hard at setting our standards a bit higher than the rest and that's been a reason we are seen as third best. A point is a point, but it's not worth the back slapping.

Nelly Terraces Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Still think we've underachieved so far. Don't think anyone will disagree we should've held onto 3 points last week, and drawing away at dross like the mutants and the codheads, with 2 very lame performances in each game, isn't great form, I'd have thought we'd have had 3 points at either of those. Just hoping things can get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Praise for our back line standing solid ,but as soon as Zal went off and Barr was moved back our midfield went missing for the second half Mehdi should be able to hold the ball better . Driver did nothing until the 92nd min ,not going to criticise youngsters but our older midfielders need to offer more away from home . Yes we played Liverpool which took a lot out of the team ,sheep played midweek also with extra time . Better teams than the Sheep would have thumped us away at parkhead or tannadice we would be looking at 4-0 . Its clear we are missing in depth in the squad upfront and midfield . Lots of work to do if we want a top two/three finish ,lots of time yet to improve which we will .Today is a lucky point . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See your point but like i said when teams are under sever pressure for large parts of a game then surely if they do not concede the defence and those helping out at the back should get a back slapping, credit were credits due after all.

Fermit the Krog Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Decent crowd up there for them. They looked up for it. We had used up lots of energy midweek. Decent point all things considered. Lets not think for a minute that we've not performed worse with better players in the team. A win on Sunday and it's an acceptable start to the season.

Fermit the Krog Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Don't look forward to seeing the players after we play the return leg at Anfield. Historically it's always something we've struggled with. Also, I expect Dundee will bring a very large support on Sunday. Hearts fans need to do their bit and match the noise they will create. It's potentially a very hard game but a win of any sorts sees us having had a solid start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I dont actually think the squad is miles awsy from being a good one. Striker apart we have cover in the other areas. Got sent a txt from Aberdeem saying "too many Laddies" I broke down rhe team that Finished and Mcd Webby Grainger Barr Taouil and Sutton are over 25 and Driver and Mcgowan well experienced. Leaving only Holt who is a youth international and the stick out in the 19s plus Dennis and Carrick. Not full o laddies at all. When you consider Zal injured and Temps suspended plus the blooding of Patterson and Mchattie we aint bad off. I will reconsider aftet the window ends should no striker arrive and we are forced to lose a couple :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
