Hearts1975 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Credit where credits due we have just came off a shocking run, had some horrendous refereeing decisions against us and lost half our team that make us tick and have made the other players tick and that's 4 points out of 6 if we need to grind out some more ugly performances and results who cares. These results even if we didn't play well will give the team more confidence and if we can just get a little bit more momentum moving toward the new year when we get souttar, dunne, naisy, uche and vanacek coming in we will be a different side moving into next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Calder Jambo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Who gives a flying foxtrot about silky football. You get the same for winning 10 nil. 3 points is what it is about, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillsjambo29 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 winning 10 in a row, 2 of which are 'ugly' wins is highly commendable losing 5, wining ugly and losing the next 5 is ultimately pointless consistent results is what are important, Our next results will determine how valuable today's ugly win was IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 League table cares not a jot how you play, points are all that matter. I'd rather grind out unconvincing wins than play good football and get beat (like the manky mob in leith) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 3 points today, never in danger. We set ourselves up with everyone to do a job and they did it. Yes we could have pressed more but we restricted Motherwell to nothing. This was not an 'ugly/hit and hope' win, it was a win with purpose.

Ideally we would have won some of the previous 7 games with performances like today's Irregardless i think we can look forward to the Scottish cup with optimism as our players join/return. If we can put a series of results that open a possibility of a high league finish, all the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The most pleasing thing about the start we made this season was our ability to win “ugly” games. Killie away being a great example. We’d lost that grit without Berra. He sets the tone and the rest follow. Much bigger influence than Naismith, Naismith is huge but Berra is a rock.

Seymour M Hersh Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We've won uglier than yesterday imo. Did what we had to do against a team of ****ing giants set up to spoil the game as a spectacle (and the media and others have the cheek to bang on about Hearts being a big strong outfit). What little decent football was, imo, played by us. There just wasn't enough of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting Levien chose not to make a substitution at the end of the game . He knew that a win was crucial . Team has had a hard time in recent games , not all self inflicted . Confidence is massively important. In my opinion we played some great football against Kilmarnock, nice to watch but we got beat . Few flashes of football yesterday but difficult against Motherwell . Players will be feeling happier this morning compared to post Killie game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I’ll take a carbon copy of that exact game over a game where we dominate and play amazing football only to not leave with the win. Feck performance, the only stat that matters is the one in the top left corner of the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Clearly confidence is low in the team. A few more of those needed. 13 hours ago, i8hibsh said: Berra is the difference. I have never seen him not win a header. Definatly. And his forward punts get us moving forward and give our opposition something to think about, a few of those will lead to goals this season. I would put money on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
