12 unbeaten ( edited )

[Bridge of Djoum]

On topic. I'm sure we can all agree 6 unbeaten is very encouraging, as is the ability to keep clean sheets. The seeds of a good team are there, a quality addition or 2 is required though. It's also true we've improved significantly this past few weeks.

 

The 2 games v Hibs will not define our season, saying that, I'm a lot more confident now than I was last month. A good result V SJ and we'll be all set for those puddle drinking foil burners. I just want them smashed.

I've enjoyed the back and forth with the 3 stooges this morning, they are determined wee things. Maybe time to put it all to bed before the thread is locked.

That would be most welcome. They have certainly had a tough few weeks. Lennon has rounded on his players publicly and not for the first time either. 

 

We look stronger at the back than they do. Midfield will be crucial as ever in these games. That is the area we have been found wanting against them in recent games

Happy to PM you with my seat details if it would put you at ease

Cochrane vs Bartley is not a match up I'd want to see and Brandon/Smith both got toasted in the last derby. I hope Milinkovic starts and plays out of his skin again because I don't think their back 4 could handle that.

I'm less worried about Bartley than their wide players, Barker and Boyle. They have genuine pace. An area in which we lack.

 

I think the best approach again is the high press on their dodgy defence. Force mistakes and cut off supply to the aforementioned and McGinn.

I'd say 2 of their back 4 are prone to howlers (Ambrose and Stevenson). If we set up similar to how we did against Celtic, no reason why we can't break them early on. I'd be looking to start Randall at RB and Smith at LB with Souttar coming in. No offence to Brandon but would rather go experience. 

 

Bartley is a glorified thug but not quite in the McKinnon depths of thuggery. I'd be hesitant about putting Cochrane up against him. Then again, I thought the same about Brown and Cochrane surprised everybody. As Levein said, Energy is what we have, so it would make sense to continue using what players like Cochrane and McDonald bring to the team.

I would agree similar tactics to Celtic for vermin. Other 2 we will soak it up

Agree on all this. Cochrane found space all day away from Broon. He also has great energy. 

 

We should have a swagger about us that says, ''we just ****** Celtic'', you're next you Hibs *****''.

Robbie left for the first club that came calling. Contrast that with McInnes and Aberdeen.

 

I'm not sure what you are looking for Toshy. The last 3 wins are most welcome. You are about shooting in yer Y-fronts about 6 unbeaten. Celtic aside - there is no way a Hearts side should be losing to any of those 5 sides. Hamilton was the culmination of 3 points from successive Home games against Kilmarnock, Partick & County. 3 points from 12 at home. Motherwell and Dundee were not great performances but 3 welcome points in each case

 

We are 5th in a shit league just before Christmas yet some on here, like yourself, are seemingly in bold proclamation of being proven right. There is a long way to go. Recent results are cause for encouragement but we have crucial games immediately ahead. Progression in the Scottish Cup remains absolutely vital for our season

I agree, playing the high press against Celtic completely nullified Sinclair and Forrest as well as their midfield, it would work just as well on the Poundland Celtic Imo.

Any true Hearts fan wouldn't bring up hibs, and in particular a hibs cup win at every opportunity. Some might say they talk about it more than hibs fans.

Me, I'm comfortable with differing views and debating my opinion, I do struggle with hearts fans that seem to slag Hearts, tho and those who talk about hibs too much.

It’s a pity you’ve got involved as unlike those who are simply trolling you do have a good football opinion to offer and are genuinely worth reading. There’s no doubt you offer decent insight even if you see everything through enormous maroon specs (which is a pretty decent quality in fairness!). If you go back a couple of pages you’ll see that my first post after being in the JKB tin pail gave massive credit for a truly outstanding result and stated my delight for EVERYONE involved including those that I don’t always agree with on a football forum. That wasn’t enough for those who have continually trolled my profile. Cest la vie. I guess they simply want confrontation but they’ll not be getting anymore from me! I hope the momentum of Sunday carries us through the next couple of games, that will certainly be an impressive upturn in our fortunes.

No problem Hendricks, lets hope we do carry it on to the new year and beyond.

 

From my point of view I was aiming my remarks at 3/4 other posters who do tend to pick up on anything positive I post, I don't think you fall into that category, and although it could be seen to be getting in a cheap shot, I have had a few aimed at myself, so although I am not proud of having a "cheap shot" when I am correct, imo some posters deserved a little reminder of how they behaved and how wrong they were, not only wrong -but in putting their point across where quite derogatory in their opinion of Hearts, their staff and some posters, including me.

 

I think I am done now, tho, and as you say lets hope it continues, whatever happens the football after the winter break will be exciting!

Some thought Hibs were "amazeballs" did they Tosh. Good grief man 

 

Let's ensure we take care of them twice in the next 4 weeks. Talking about it and actually doing it are two very different things. Recent displays against the vermin are enough to make me very wary despite such a dominant display on Sunday 

 

I for one haven't forgotten about our last 3 visits to Easter Road. I watched their game at Pittodrie on the box last Saturday. They were stinking. Ambrose looks back to his calamitous days of old. We need to address and correct a very alarming recent record against that lot 

 

Scottish Cup progression remains absolutely essential 

 

I remember a word you used to praise Hibs that riled me was "progressive" in comparison to us. We actually have a case for being the most progressive football club in Scotland off the pitch. On it we certainly have progressed better than Hibs over the last 3 years and our football set-up as a whole is light years ahead of theirs. There's a lot to be proud of our club right now that re-assessing managers' performances on a weekly basis should not be a thing.

 

Not football related: First (and only?) Scottish club committed to paying minimum wage; Fan owned; Great stadium

Football related: DoF model designed to develop more young players; Coaching model designed to develop young coaches; In terms of league results at least we have also progressed better and faster than Hibs over the last 3 seasons.

 

Hibs on the other hand:

 

Silent on minimum wage; Owned by rich benefactor; Drafty stadium

Took three years to get promoted to our one; Are at a lower league position than we were in the first season after promotion
