Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'm hoping Hibs do Rangers in the playoffs and then pull the trap door on Mirren or Well (I have a soft spot for the highland clubs and hope County gets off the dime). That way we still get derbies next year and Hibs spend all summer talking about a "new day" and "doing a Hamilton," only to do another faceplant next season too.

lewis2006 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Can we chill out with the Hibs/Rangers play off chat. There's still a LONG way to go yet. I'm confident we can win this league but let's not get to carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If you asked 99% of Rangers fans to name 11 current Hearts players they'd struggle. They're programmed to think about two teams their own and Celtic. And in some respects its not surprising given for a couple of decades it's all they've had to worry about. None of them have really grasped the reality of their situation nor accepted any blame. Ally McCoist is the scape goat for now but I don't think any of them are really contemplating not winning the league - they are reducing the amount of points they'll win it by but not actually believing they wont win it. And that suits us let them and their circus carry on while Robbie and the team go about their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo-rocker Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 We have four games before we play Rangers, they will have eight if they do not cancel during the next international break.

davie1980 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 As rangers are incapable of bringing through young players, that 24 man squad is a rigid limit of the players they have available The 23 we have listed there, will no doubt be added to before the season is over, by young lads breaking through from the U20, whether we need to fill in for injuries and suspensions or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_fae_Gillie Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 thing Rangers forget is we can buy or pay a loaned in player in Jan if needed, they on the other had are out of money by a massive margin so 23/24 may well change in our favour.

hearts_crazy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 This post pretty much sums them up for me: "If Hearts are 8/13 on what odds are we. I would like a punt on us as our odds must be far too generous versus the reality that we are better equiped for the long haul of a full season." They actually think they are still watching Glasgow Rangers, the club that ceased to be a couple of years ago. They actually think they are entitled to romp this league just like the old Rangers did so many times in the past when they had all those expensive players, bought and paid for with money they didn't have. They ACTUALLY THINK that they have a superior squad . They are basing this on what? the fact they romped the other 2 leagues? Well I should think so, the majority are part timers. I'm sure most Junior teams would fancy their chances against some of those, as is shown in the Scottish Cup every season. The fact they are struggling just now in the Championship is not just a blip like they seem to think it is, it's because there are a lot of teams in the Championship who could hold their own in the SPL, and Rangers are at present lower SPL level at absolute best. So while they swagger onto those wee pitches, chests thrust out, giving it 'we arra peepul' the opposition are just shrugging their shoulders, rolling up their sleeves and getting in about them. They're not awe-struck like they (Sevco) have maybe come to expect from the lower leagues, and they are causing them problems. Sevco don't like it up them, FACT. They don't know how to deal with teams that don't just lie down to them. So let their fans grasp firmly onto that last straw that they are 'The Rangers' (although we all know they are not even a pale shadow of what they were). It makes it all the sweeter when realisation finally dawns that they may just not get into the SPL this season. I wouldn't fancy their chances in the play offs, just saying. Of course it still requires us to do our part, which I am confident we will, and like I said on a thread yesterday I canny wait until November 22nd.

DETTY29 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'd like to see where we are after we have played Rangers at the end of November before making any bold predictions. And even then I would be wary. And any sensible Rangers fans should be of the same mindset. When we get going we have been very good, but in Dumbarton and Alloa (admittedly I wasn't there but going by what folks say we weren't good) we have had 2 really poor performances. So if that is averaged out over the season, it's nearly 25% of games where we just can't get going. Take 2/3 of the points on offer mind. This league will still be well up for grabs come spring on whenever Easter is this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackford Hearts Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think this quote from BD sums up the reality: 'We might have a bigger squad, but the problem is that 80-90% of the players are ******* hopeless. Strength in depth only works when the players are any good!' As long as Hearts management team keep with the strategy that's worked successfully so far, and keep the players level headed we will continue to be successful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was any other player aside from maybe Sow, just because he scored against them, they wouldn't have a Scooby who it was, where he played or whether he was a key player or not. Because its ex-ranger Danny Wilson they know who he is and he's a centre half........their conclusion - we'll lose the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's almost like they've forgotten there is a transfer window in January and we are very likely to be in a position to add to the first team squad if we are looking light in certain areas, whereas they are likely to have no funds to spend unless they can offload high earners, but that wouldn't go down well with the Orcs, who still believe they can buy their way to promotion.

Lose one and we're fine, lose both for more than 2 games - I'd be slightly concerned. It's hard to say but I thought Holt would be a standout in this league and Pallardo has a great pedigree. They would need to go some to be as influential as Prince and Gomis but I am sure they could hold their own in this League. Wilson is also an important player for me. In fact the spine of Wilson, Gomis, Buaben and Sow are the ones we need to keep fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can play better than we have so far. Hearts are the form team right now but they're not infallible. They had 1 shot against Alloa, we had 15.
