At this moment in time we are 5th in the league and playing poorly. There were a number of people who thought we played well against Partick Thistle in the Scottish Cup tie at Tynecastle. Truth is we didn't. Last time we played the bottom side in the Championship it was Cowdenbeath and we won that game 10-0. Now, some are happy to accept struggling past the club in that position and taking two games to do it. The saving grace for us at the moment is it is highly unlikely we will drop out of the top 6, but is still possible. I would agree with anyone who thinks we will pick up no points from the three upcoming games versus Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibs, our form in recent times makes it difficult to think any other way than we could definitely lose those games. That could well mean our finishing position is 6th, i.e. below Hibs, a team that I've read on here on numerous occasions are absolute pish yet we could still finish below them. However, I'm not so sure if Motherwell will win their three remaining games as well. If they do then we can still finish 7th in the league. If competing is classed as putting your strip on the right way round and your boots on the correct feet then yes we are still competing. If it involves going out and looking like winning football games, that is where the problems are happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Naismith got injured we should have addressed that in the transfer window to show we are serious about competing - consider it an investment - instead of pining for his return and letting our collective heads drop. Unless we accelt that the first round of games was a fluke, we have to accept the league campaign has turned into a clear failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at form against the sides we will be playing rather than those we have played, we are awful against s****bag teams in the bottom half that stick 10 men behind then ball hoping to a, not concede and b, catch us once on the break.

Yes we could lose against Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Hibs but have a look at their form as well. Last 6 games have seen Kilmarnock and Aberdeen take only 1 point more than us and yet you say it's difficult to see anything other than us definitely losing to them???? Hibs have won half of their last 6 away games, I won't shite myself over them thanks very much. I could turn your point around and say that I have read numerous posts about how shite we are and yet we could still finish above Hibs, crazy isn't it? We are in 5th position in the league, only 4 points behind 4th with 8 games to go and whatever way you care to dress it up that means we are competing for 4th.

kila Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The earlier Europe qualifiers start is shite, especially when there is the Euros or World Cup on so even less of a rest for some players. But it is what it is, for the time being. Rangers managed to make the group stages with a rookie manager. Qualifying is within our grasp if we have a nice draw. But then Anfield was a qualifier and that was pretty ****ing exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I think even Ann Budge would expect Hearts to look alot more convincing over the season while chasing top 4. There’s chasing top 4 while struggling in 5th to break into it, or being right in the mix while actually sitting somewhere in the top 4. We all know we’ve been top 3 many times , never mind 4, and what level of play you need to achieve it. Let’s not start getting all snuggly thinking a team toiling in 5th may still sneak top 4 in the last 8 games and it’s been a fine league season. My only hope is that sometimes Hearts do put a few good results together in the last few matches of a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
