Given time we'll get better to watch. Another one-goal margin win, a win over a team we have struggled against, a clean sheet, climbing the table. It'll do for now, no question. Sums it up nicely for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigolo-Aunt Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Was not vintage stuff but 3 points is what it's all about. When we play it on the deck we are so much better. Good to see Cochrane and Henderson get more game time. Cochrane when you watch his movement always wants the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM Sheffield Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 No matter the performance today that was a great 3 points against a hard to beat team. And to be sat 5th after 10 and only 2 points behind 3rd place having played 8 away games is very pleasing. It is a huge improvement over last season and quite an achievement given the squad situation. It is only a platform to build from but the playing and coaching staff deserve a lot of credit.

Was frustrated by the high balls but can see why we wanted to bypass midfield as much as possible with the players we had out. Surprised by saints largely adopting the same tactics though.

Son Of Anarchy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Good 3 points against a team we usually struggle against these days. As an aside, can't recall disliking a player as much as him in ages. He can **** right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 St Johnstone came to stop our limited midfield play and maybe pounce on an error, that was the limit of their expectations, made it a hard graft for us, we were not great but battled for a deserved the win The young lads came on when we needed a bit more energy and delivered.

We have to start games far better beginning Tuesday night...... I don't disagree with your points, it's the extreme manner in which you continually put down pretty much every aspect of the club that is annoying. 99 percent of your stuff is negative, which begs the question what pleasure do you get from being a Hearts supporter? Any praise you do give seems grudging. And thanks for your concern regarding the nice day here, I'm actually at work until 3pm today, then off to A very nice restaurant in DUMBO,( Cecconi's) with Mrs Wing Mirorrs.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Delighted we managed to win a game that had a 0-0 look about it from early on. Hopefully we were holding something back for Tuesday and we can raise our energy levels to those required for a derby. Impressed by how well the young players are doing and they are maybe showing some of the older pros how to battle and keep chasing the loose ball.

Not only did neither stand out as inexperienced, both actually had real impact. Cochrane, while not doing anything particularly special, was certainly impressive for his age and at least looked a bit more switched on than Buaben whose was caught unacceptably daydreaming in possession twice. Think it's still a wee bit early for him though, he still looks like a strong wind could blow him over. Once he bulks up a bit over the next couple of years he could be some prospect. Ideally need Cowie and Djoum back in the middle ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simply not true about my points but it matters little what you think. Everything I say is fair. I'm just not a sycophantic naive supporter who just because we edge a win changes their view on performance or issues facing us. The same problems exist regardless of wherever today's game finished 1-0, 0-0 or 0-1. I'm happy to point them out at the same time as welcoming the 3pts. If that's too much for you then it's weird you bother to respond. Am I pleased with the results of the last 2 games? Yes. Do I think we are playing well or a good team? No. Do I think we will won on Tuesday? No. Do I think results are clearly better and will continue to improve given the way Levein sets the team up? Yes. Have we a lot of work to do and is recruitment much needed? Hell yes. Hope you have an excellent late lunch, looks a very nice spot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not time for a long winded dissection of the match. Frustrating first half but a better 2nd. We are now fighting through matches and winning. It's the first thing you need to establish.

If we go down to Easter Road on Tuesday, don't lose any goals and then bag one ourselves I'll be more than happy with that, same with game versus Rangers next weekend.

As far as match is concerned Hearts are now hard to beat.I dont remember St Johnstone making a good chance.The game was dire first half but Hearts opened up a bit in the 2nd.Levein has the team organised defensively and today was like a war of attrition just doing enough to scrape the win.The priority is clearly to steer away from the relegation zone with our limited squad.The young lads have not let us down.Tuesday will be a close run game whatever the starting lineup and I fancy our chances.
