Based on Evening News pre-game report... Osman Sow is a doubt due to injury. Lawrence Shankland may not start having only signed recently. Adrian Sporle, Calum Butcher and Ian Harkes all had injuryto face his former club after the striker picked up a calf injury. Peter Pawlett won't play due to injury. For Hibs the Scotsman says Slivka, Stevenson and Porteous are all out for their game as they are still recovering from injuries. Hanlon, Boyle, Gray and Whittaker are also injury doubts. For Aberdeen Bryson and Leigh missed out with injuries yesterday. Only two of their seven new signings started in their game. Gleeson is injured. McLennan started on the bench as he wasn't fully fit. McGinn started despite note being fully fit. There was talk of an injury crisis in the media a couple of weeks ago. That is just looking at three teams and a couple of articles. They probably have other players injured that aren't mentioned and I could probably do the same with most teams, but no it is only Hearts that are struggling to have players fully fit by mid-July. I think, to many, it feels like it's just us because we don't tend to pay too much attention to what's happening at other clubs. Certainly the reason in my case. About a third of the players you mention I've never heard of, a third I didn't know were at certain clubs and the rest I had no idea they were injured.

rick witter Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 4 hours ago, To Be Frank said: Happy to please 😊👍🏻 As far as I’m concerned we’re only half way through pre-season and our preparations for the league. The only difference being that instead of friendlies for the next three weeks we have league cup games due to this format change a couple of years ago. Clubs haven’t started coming back earlier for preseason because of it. Everyone just treats it as a way of getting ready for the league but with more importance on the result than a regular friendly. I expect us to win and think we will win but very aware that players will be rusty and lacking match fitness as we’re only halfway through pre-season. If the match was played in three weeks’ time we would comfortably hump them with our key players fit and firing. If we lose the game though there is a very real chance we are out of one of only 2 tournaments we can win after one game. I get it’s early and maybe has a pre season feel to it but this is a massive game we have to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambosteve1902 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Curious, why do people seem to think we're playing an Elite side tonight? i havent seen any proposed starting XIs posted that i think are weaker than what United will field so the lack of optimism is bewildering me.

To give an analogy: When a professional boxing match is organised the fighters begin their usual 3 month-ish training camps. They are in peak condition come the fight and the better boxer usually wins. If they were made to fight only 6 weeks into their preparations then the result wouldn’t be as certain, more variables would be in the mix and an upset a bit more likely. 6 minutes ago, Cruyff Turn said: Early doors games are always tough.

Agree entirely. I'd meant to make that point, so thanks for making it for me. We know far more about Hearts than other teams so know far more about the duds we've signed and the players injured, particularly when you get past the couple of star players at each team. And that is fine as long as people don't use their lack of knowledge to beat the club. Unfortuantely it seems that no matter how often some people have this evidence presented to them, they choose to ignore it and carry on believing that Hearts are somehow much worse than everyone else.
