2NaFish Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 we're still the same team. we'll still take a few humpings between now and the end of the season, but hopefully we can take some confidence and win a few too.

Juan Jose Carricondo Perez Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Good to see the boys putting in fighting performances. The easy thing to do is give up and accept relegation which appears to be inevitable but they're fighting for everything. That's all I'd ever expect from a hearts team.

Footballfirst Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 One step at a time. Let's get to within 15 points, then we can reasonably claim not to be the worst in the league, then take it from there. The team are effectively in a no lose situation, so just go out and play as they can, then see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambof3tornado Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 We've seen several times that if we score we look confident, we got behind we look lost. That's how it is with youngsters.

Le Chat Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Listened to the game on Hearts TV today and it sounded like we played really well, particularly in the first half and the closing stages of the second.

That said better late than never. Yeah, I think we have taken too long to change as we have tried to play players out of position rather than utilsing the strengths of the players we have. But Motherwell to me could be the turning point (its too early to say if it is or not.) But credit to Locke for learning from his mistakes. We have given ourselves confidence, something we have been missing over recent months, but St Mirren is important for us, a good result against them and you confidence would build more than ever.

We'd need an amazing run to have a chance and we just don't have that in our locker under Locke. We might just put a fight up now, that's a welcome bonus.

Do The Dance Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I reckon the fans acceptance of relegation will help us pick up a few more points than the first half of the season.

We need to beat St Mirren on Wednesday night under the lights, and if we can do that then get a result on Sunday, I feel the confidence will start flowing through the lads. Get our injured players back and hopefully an experienced player brought in you just never know what we could pull off. Need to win on Wednesday, though!

Snake Plissken Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 To put that result in perspective: County had picked up ten points in January prior to the game, we'd managed one.

J.C 7 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I think the penny is finally starting to drop for our squad of the standard required to compete and that they are starting to mature slowly, we aren't getting bullied as much imo and our lads are starting to give a bit back to their opponents. Maybe it's too late but if they approach with the mindset that there is nothing to lose and go for it (which they now seem to be)and relax and play football then who knows. Well done to GL and BB on a gd win yesterday,god knows they get pelters when we get beat so deserve some praise for a win. Hopefully we can replicate these performances at tynie,I get the impression there is a nervousness about our team at home recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said better late than never. Trouble is, as far as a realistic chance of avoiding relegation is concerned, it might has well have been never. What yesterday, and quite a few glimpses earlier in the season, showed is that for all the "shite squad" and "young laddies" talk the team/squad has underperformed for most of the season. That the players could put in that performance after weeks of hearing the management (and administrator!) saying they are not good enough and plotting to get room to gat some out and replace them says a lot about the players. Yes well done Gary and Billy for getting it right yesterday, but for me the players deserve the kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
