Enzo Chiefo Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 There is no comparison with Burley's team of 05/06 imo. That team had flair and creativity all over the park. They used to fly out the traps from the first whistle and scored goals for fun. We had a great start to the season but , regardless of injuries, we don't have enough quality to sustain it. A lot of the games were won by fine margins and Oct/Nov was always going to be a big test of our quality. Recruitment, tactics and in game management have been our biggest problem. All of the top 6 or 7 teams have had good and bad spells this season, and have suffered from injuries too. They could all pose the "what if" question.

Jambos_1874 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'm pretty happy with the result as things stand. Some small part of me thinks we may actually put in a title challenge if/when Naismith, Souttar and Uche are all fit again so seeing Sellick drop points I not a bad thing, even if it is against the wee team.

May I remind you that there are hundreds, if not more Hearts fans living abroad, several I know donate significantly to FOH and other causes the club is involved with.

Fair enough. You knew we’d struggle at Livi but expect to win at ER, a ground we don’t win at anymore? A game we need battlers, not the bottlers that chucked it at Livi. It’s good that Naismith will be fit again but I think the damage has been done. Confidence shot with far too many players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very unlikely we'll challenge but I want to continue to believe for now while it's still relatively close; you never know. If we can get our key players back and hit the form of early season, with Vanacek being an absolute goal machine then we could at least be up around the top of the table at the end of the season.
