Finlay James Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Tough game but we have a good record of late at New Douglas Park. We need to build momentum and pick up points with some tough games coming up so I'm predicting another close match and a Hearts 3-1 win.

Texia Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Hamilton seem to have changed their ‘style’ recently to go out and attack teams more openly, which is the worst thing they can do against us. For that reason and to continue our uptake in form I’ll go with a 3-0 Hearts win. Also, *Heart of Midlothian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 They looked like a junior team when we played them on Boxing Day. If the same team turns up, I’m confident we’ll win by a couple of goals. My team (based on the fact that we looked dangerous in wide areas on Tuesday night with Wighton and Mulraney). Bobby Godinho Souttar Dikamona (tough run of games coming up, probably last chance to give Berra a rest and a week off) Garrucio (had a shocker on Tues but we don’t have much in the way of options for a flat back 4) Wighton Djoum Haring Mulraney Clare Uche What I reckon we’ll see Bobby Godinho Souttar Berra Garrucio Clare Lee Haring Djoum Uche Vanacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) After this weekend the quality of opposition increases in the league, with three games versus Aberdeen, Rangers and Hibs post split and then 5 post split matches. Pleased with the win at the weekend versus Dundee and getting through to the Scottish Cup semi final. However, I couldn't walk away from last Saturday's game or either of the two cup ties versus Partick and say we played really, really well in any of those games, because the brutal honest truth is we didn't. I'm not sure we will turn in a devastating display this coming weekend, but will accept three points before we enter the last 8 games, games in which we will be playing for league position and the monetary rewards associated with that. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up 1-0 or 2-1 to us, I just hope it is a win. Edited March 14, 2019 by portobellojambo1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) Hamilton are the only team I genuinely wonder about. They look and play like a junior side, always honking when I see them. 2-0, as we have a good record there. Set us up nicely for the games v Aberdeen and hibs, which we also have a good record against at home. Could build t up some nice momentum taking us into the semi final. Can see us hitting that at least unbeaten in a wee run maybe even in a 5 game winning streak.

Mikey1874 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) It's a better pitch, we're on a good run there (last 3 won), they are more open. We did show some good signs of quick, direct, passing play v Partick and I'm hopeful we can continue that, putting together a good side without Naismith. Looking forward to it.

18Jambo_dave74 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) We've not got top 6 guaranteed yet, but assuming we do get it then after Hamilton our league fixtures for the rest of the season will be: Celtic Rangers (x2) Aberdeen (x2) Kilmarnock Hibs And another fixture v Hibs/Motherwell/St Johnstone/ Livi. Given the upcoming fixtures, I would say that the game this weekend is a bit of a must win for us if we want to continue our challenge for 3rd/4th. I'd expect there to be a reaction from Rangers this weekend and for them to beat Killie therefore we should be looking to win and go level with them. Too many times in the last couple of months we haven't taken advantage of results elsewhere when they have gone our way. My team for Saturday would be: Zlamal Godinho Souttar Berra Garuccio Djoum Haring Wighton/Morrison Clare Mulraney Ikpeazu I have to be honest and say I'm not a big fan of Wighton or Mulraney and I think Morrison has been poor for a while now. However I think we need more width in the side. I liked Clare in the middle of the park against Thistle however I'd push him further forward and get him closer to Uche.

Romulus Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Looking at the fixture list, this is pretty much the last of the easier games we have on paper. Tough games to come pre and post split.
