[Penrices left boot]

 

 

Amongst all the bans and protests we have a game.

 

2-0 us.

[1874robbo]

2-2

[Castle rock]

Don't know why but really confident for tomorrow 

4-0 the hearts

 

[Jambof3tornado]

3-1 us. God only knows the hows and whys.

[GorgieFifeLife]

0-2. Sadly carnage ahead.

[1971fozzy]

I’ve a feeling it’ll be a score draw if Smith doesn’t make it. 

If he makes it a narrow win will do. Really hoping for the 3 points. Come on the Hearts

[Pants Shaton]

Worried about the game - might call Levein ‘a stinky rotter’ if we don’t play well. Inevitable lifetime ban.

nervy 1-0 that will breed the confidence to win 5-1 in the derby the next again week and a statue of CL to be up by end of January 😍

[JackLadd]

1-0 Hearts.  

[micole]

Again going to the game with complete apathy, hope we win though, will we win, mmm....really can't call it. I'm just a doom merchant....sorry.

[August Landmesser]

Grit, fight, blood and snotters, bodies on the line for a 1-0 win.

 

HT 0-0 and booing, Berra header after 60-odd mins, then a battle.

 

Or a routine 2-0.

 

Or a dreary but tetchy 0-0.

 

Who knows these days?

[Famous 1874]

Heart - home win

Head - draw 

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Passion and hunger, wherever that takes us

[William H. Bonney]

1-1 

[gov]

feel we just need that first win in the leauge and things may start to click

[Ribble]

My only prediction for tomorrow is that it'll be closer to 3.15  before I get to my seat due to the amount of bevvy required to watch what will be a horribly dull battle between two rather pish teams

[Morgan]

2-1-Hearts

[GinRummy]

0-0 with a lot of cards. Defence praised by our head coach in an ‘all we need Is goals now’ chat after the game. ‘Nearly there’

[Gambo]

Hearts 4 - 0 Motherwell

[heartsfc_fan]

Scrappy win

[bistokid]

1-1. And hopefully the end. 

[jr ewing]

Best hope a draw.

[Jambof3tornado]

Wonder if the crowd will be up or down numbers wise? Apathy reigns supreme.

[Maroonjam]

Defense and keeper may play the major factor for me. Think middle two of Irving and Whelan. Front four of Washington, mulraney wide left, Clare wide right and meshino in the middle. 

 

I would have Clare instructed to try and take on players and the front 4 to all make runs as we are too static. Full backs need to overlap to add another dimension. 3-1 to the Jam tarts 

[MattyK82]

1-2 Motherwell 

[rocketman19]

2 nil hearts 

[i8hibsh]

A D or L to add to the Welsh village.

[Nookie Bear]

A scrappy 1-0, hopefully followed by an Announcement.

[Nookie Bear]

Naismith to play?

 

Clare to come good?

 

Could the planets align??

[Cut The Crap]

Draw.

[Clerry Jambo]

Not seeing where a 90 min performance is coming from, Motherwell decent outfit, narrow home defeat. Hope to be wide of the mark as could be nasty if goes against us

We did beat them recently so there has to be some hope surely. 😄

Ofcourse there’s hope Dave, we will need everyone at it 

[gnasher75]

We are toiling a bit without our first choice keeper, Smith (possibly), Souttar, Haring, Walker and Naismith.

 

If Smith is OK to start I'd like to see something like:

 

                    Doyle

 Smith Halkett Berra Hickey 

          Whelan Damour 

Morrison Meshino Mulraney 

               Washington

 

Solid in midfield to give defensive cover. 

Pace and skill up front.

Heart - 5-0

 Washington Meshino Mulraney

personally if smith is available then he has to start with hickey switching sides and white dropping out. could put washington up front with uche dropping out and claire playing wide.

Ooft, imagine the protest then. 

Prowwwperr protest. 

Imagine the bans after as well. 

 

Popcorn would be required. 

[FruitJuice]

We won't lose this.  We best them at their place and even with all what's going on,  I dont see them beating us at home.  We are still unbeaten there.

Be my team. 

Maybe Uche out wide in place of Clare. 

Meshino beyond Denzel. 

 

Just to mix it up. 

 

But I'd live with that team.

I’d love that scoreline but yes even with that I still want change.

[Bridge of Djoum]

3-1 Hearts. 

 

Stands completely empty due to prior criticism and letters in the post.

I can see that. Add in a missed penalty by us in the 95th minute after they take a 1-2 lead too 😩

True. We are.

 

That being said, remaining unbeaten after fortuitously drawing with both RC and Hamilton isn’t awe inspiring! 

 

We we may not lose but equally I don’t think we will win. 

 

A draw under the circumstances will feel like a defeat and may put us at the bottom of the league, depending on other results.
