Debut 4 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 0-0. Both managers under too much pressure and not brave enough to set up positively. Both have defensive problems and will be working all week at being rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoleto Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I see the "genuine fans" are on this thread talking football. Unfortunately the "real" fans just see another excuse to bash Levein and Budge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappy game with scrappy goals conceded by both teams. 2-2. I really hope Meshino doesn't start - I don't think he's ready to handle a pressure derby. Uche up front and Maclean hopefully dropped altogether. Meshino not to start😂😂 how have you come to that conclusion? Seems to be one of the only players with a bit of quality in the team at the moment. You think there will be meaty tackles in that midfield? Hibs are ****ing powderpuff in the centre. Mallan, Allan, Vela, Hallberg etc is a physically weak midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEHEART1874 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 1-1 as that first 11 hibs team are poor and their bench has no one to come on to help them.

dustybin Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 So if we win at the weekend then all is well.....I think not, but if we start after this win and go on to climb the table then maybe Levein has a chance of pulling this off, somehow I doubt it but you never know.

Yeah as I say I’d only have Keena as I think we tend to hit long to Uche way too much. With Whelan, Damour and Meshino in the team we should be able to keep it on the deck so Uche would work fine in that instance. God knows what team he will pick though!!

kila Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 To be honest I am looking forward to this. It could become a toxic atmosphere because Hibs aren't rosy either, and Hearts tend to come out winners in those situations regardless of our own problems.

Gorgieshed Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I think being away from home is actually to our advantage strangely. In general away supports are usually better/more vocal. If we can take the lead it creates a good atmosphere and there is a lot of pressure on Hibs whose fans are just as disillusioned as we are just now. 0-1.

Bull's-eye Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The owner has put her self up to be shot at this week, Levein already has a target on his back. I'm expecting a massive performance from the players on Sunday. They owe everybody now. Anything other than a 4 goal swing in our favour will be regarded as failure in my mind.
