soonbe110 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Whilst accepting that our form and results have been unacceptable since our injury crisis abated it’s not just us that’s in the midst of a crazy and baffling run. At the winter break Aberdeen, Killie, us and St.Johnstone were comfortably in positions 3-6 in the league, looking certainties to finish top 6 and with two or three of the four having reasonable hopes of catching Rangers for second. Since the league fixtures re-started at end January we have Aberdeen, Killie and us all with 2 wins out of 9, Saints with 1 win out of 9. Seems remarkably odd but certainly shows the missed opportunity for all four clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 All very true, however the question now is how do we take ourselves forward and improve. I think, like most folk, I was completely disheartened by yesterday’s performance. There seemed to be absolutely no passion, no motivation or will to win about the team. That’s a worry,and something that has to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I had more entertainment driving through the most horrendous rain on the M8 to the game yesterday than actually watching it when I got there. therein lies the problem. It’s eye bleeding crap that is utterly painful to watch. aberdeen have hit a bad patch at home , yes but they were well behind us and are now looking pretty much uncatchable now. Their away form is very good indeed. Also they win in Glasgow. Something that we are incapable of doing . We play rangers away soon and I’d be shell shocked if it’s not at least a 3 goal defeat. killie and st Johnstone operate with average home crowds of only 2-4000 so it’s arguable that with their income they were doing better than they’d be expected. Our income and wage budgets dwarf these clubs I’d of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinnybob72 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 St Mirren, Dundee and Hamilton have won 15 games between them this season - we have contributed 3 to that tally. We have also lost 5-0 and drawn twice at home to Livingston - a team who were in League 1 two years ago. That's 16 points dropped in games that, if we performed to a reasonable level, we should be looking to pick up maximum points from. That's why we are scrubbing around in 5th place and not looking good in second place. The good wins that we have picked up, ie Celtic at home, twice at Killie, Easter Road, etc have been cancelled out by shocking results elsewhere.

Southpaw Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It is just not the poor run of results against the teams that on paper we should be winning. It is the lack of playing style, fight and determination. The lack of a playing style and the lack of entertainment. Yes I know the quote "if you want entertainment go to the cinema" or something like that. The continual change of system and players not knowing if they are coming or going. Our fairly poor record of signings, but for me, IMO, is that Levein plays football not to lose, whereas most, if not all other teams play to try and win.

Victorian Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's been a disjointed league alright. Hearts, Aberdeen, Kilmarmock, Hibs, St.Johnstone, Motherwell have all had really good runs and terrible runs. Even Rangers have had similar ups and downs. More than half the league. The teams in the higher finishing positions will basically be the ones who have minimised the damage of the inconsistent runs. We'll probably finish 5th or 6th now and it probably reflects exactly where we deserve to be. We've lost points in a variety of ways. We haven't been able to win many points we had no right to.

thegreatsd Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 It’s a good point made in the original post. It’s a tough league we are in and there are no easy games at all. We struggle against teams that set up to defend against us especially when we are set up with a bit of caution as well. If we were a bit more adventurous at times away from home we would do better. I think we play our best football against the better teams in our league and we will do ok after the split. It’s been a tough season and we were probably spoiled with an exceptional start we had. That does show what we are capable of though and if we can play an unsettled side and get that winning habit and belief back we have the basis of a solid talented side. Ive seen some posts about Berra being finished, getting levein out and loads of other rash comments which are understandable considering recent results. It’s also frustrating knowing other teams round us are also slipping up constantly too but I suppose that is down to the fact it is a tough league and everyone is capable of beating each other on their day. We haven’t exactly had much luck either this season with injuries and decisions which have without a doubt had a huge impact. The big picture is looking at two semis, a potential final or better, stadium almost paid, good crowds, a good team, a good hearts man and lady running the show and still places to fight for the rest of the season in the league. I think this season has been about building and we will see further improvements next season. It has certainly been a tough time since the injuries and our managers health scare. I’ve been watching for about 40 years and I have seen way worse than this in my time. Perhaps I’m getting older and softer but I just enjoy going and watching with my even longer suffering dad who assured me he has see way worse than I’ve ever seen! let do our jobs and get behind what we’ve got just now as we are not far away and a few additions to a strong spine will make that bit of difference between winning and losing.

If both Clarke and McInnes leave at the end of this season and are replaced by my mum and Teresa May then we'll be much better off next season.

Then it is Hibs at Tynecastle and if our current form continues then I would not be hopefull of picking up more than one point. If we lose both these games then our next match is the Semi v Inverness and if the heads are down then we will struggle to beat them. Our only saving grace is that Motherwell who sit in 7th place are 7 points behind us so it would be a tall oreder for them to pip us for 6th place before the split.

Not surprising though after the same Aberdeen team couldn't beat Stenhousemuir at home in January. Steve Clarke's attacking Kilmarnock side have scored 5 goals since February started. 3 of those goals had come by February 6th. Since then Kilmarnock have scored 2 goals. They went over a month without scoring, getting pumped out the Scottish Cup 5-0 by the old King's tribute act. They managed to lose at Livingston, draw 0-0 at home with Motherwell, and even shipped two goals at home to Levein's eye-bleeding travelling defensive roadshow.

As you say the only saing grace is that in their three remaining games it will be difficult, but not impossible for Motherwell to get above us if we continue to play as poorly as we are.

My take on it, not for the first time, is the players are doing what they are told and are comfortable doing that. The coaches can see the players are doing what they are told but not one of the coaches has a clue how to change things for the better. I was struck by how after the rugby, Finn Russell was asked what was said in the Scottish dressing room at HT, what did Townsend say to get them going. He said he had an argument with Townsend and criticised his tactics. I don't belive any of the coaches has the balls to stand up and say anything to Levein and there was a moment yesterday which I mentioned on the match thread where CL looked at the coches - McCann said/did nothing and the other (Fox?) blew his cheeks out and basically shrugged his shoulders. That's what is running the club these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably due to 11 clubs in the league all being of a similar standard at the moment due to injuries, suspension, individual loss of form, etc Certainly recent results across the league suggest every game, except the one involving Celtic, is a lottery.

J80MBO Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 When we were winning at start of seeing we were playing pish. I always hoped performances would follow... Performances got worse...and from obvs got worse. Would like to see league table minus our lucky start to season. Will always keep season ticket and FoH payments but my enthusiasm and interest is close to all time low watching such dire football with no signs of getting better (as it gets worse and worse)... Even games we gave won, dont recall last time played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should have been ten Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 1 hour ago, WageThief said: You are by definition interested in other clubs. As long as Clarke is Kilmarnock boss the Hearts boss will have a tougher job on his hands. If both Clarke and McInnes leave at the end of this season and are replaced by my mum and Teresa May then we'll be much better off next season. Our league position is dictated by the performance of other teams as much as our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
