Gashauskis9 Posted September 20 2-1 them. I’m devoid of all optimism, please accept my apologies. We will continue to be the charitable club. - Ross County (the newbies), we gave their first away point - Hamilton, favourites to go down and utter guff and we gave them a point - Motherwell, hadn’t won at Tynie for 5 years, here you go have 3 points - Hibs, 1 win in 5, haven’t won a derby at ER for over a year, there here you go have this one on us Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmreido Posted September 20 Naismith plz if fit! our fortunes have to change sometime, so, hopefully, Sunday's the day. Always fancy us to beat the vermin, no matter what. 1-2 Hearts ....YAS HHGH FTH Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neilnunb Posted September 20 Hope Naismith isn't being rushed back through sheer desperation on Levein's part. The prospect of Uche or MacLean up front is depressing. Still, looking forward to the atmosphere if nothing else. 😁 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Gio Posted September 20 Strange comment to make, especially in a derby, but for me, it needs to go beyond winning and losing. I have not witnessed any organisation or discernible pattern of play from us all season, bar Motherwell away. Similar match on Sunday perhaps to that one, gives me some hope we can do this. But that then needs to be taken forward into Wednesday. In short, looking for something tangible from Sunday, that tells me we have an identity moving forward, right now its a shambles. Leaders required. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haken Posted September 20 Genuine Hearts fans will be hoping for a Hearts win, right? I hope we wipe the floor with this shower of s****. The atmosphere could be interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheOak88 Posted September 20 Could see this being a draw. Two sh!te teams fighting it out. Uche up front and going direct most likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Ramsay Posted September 20 Think we might scrape a draw. Enough goodwill for another season of Levein in Annie's book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barack Posted September 20 Can't afford to lose match for either team. Can't see another 4-4 draw! 1st goal, gets either crowd on the respective team's backs. Can actually see us winning this 2 nil. I honestly don't know why. But, in a way, this feels more vital to Heckingbottom's chances than Levein's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madjambo21 Posted September 20 Going to miss the game on Sunday due to playing football but I think we will beat them. Hope Smith is fit enough for RB but if not put Dikamona in rather than Brandon please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamhammer Posted September 20 Will be watching in a Crete boozer, probably through my fingers or from behind a chair. More in hope than expectation. They are also shite so who knows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GorgieRules22 Posted September 20 On paper we’re a stronger side but that’s been the case this season on a few occasions. I fancy us to win this one though by the odd goal, springboard time in the season. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tokyowalnut Posted September 20 Get at them right from the start, get the crowd behind the team and let's give them a doing (or 1-0 will do)! Always look forward to an Easter Road away day. Think we will score 2 or 3, wee Meshino with at least 1 goal. No idea where my optimism is coming from, but I'm going with it. Can wait to get there on Sunday!

Noah Claypole Posted September 20 (edited) All the pressure has been lifted from the players and theyre getting more than an easy ride at the moment. This week is pay back time, it's time for them to properly step up and show us what they're capable off, no slackers, 100% effort and demolish that pile of Shit. I fully expect a slaughter.

Class of 75 Posted September 20 Really hope we thump the muppet men and then attention can be turned to Levein's future. As much I hate what is happening under Levein's tenure I never want to get beaten by that mob. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazinho88 Posted September 20 Damour and Whelan with Meshino just ahead, those three will win us the game. Hibs 0-3 Hearts Meshino x2 Ikpeazu I've no idea why I am feeling any confidence, but I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i8hibsh Posted September 20 These bunch of players couldn't get up for action in a brothel. However, Hibs have a worse midfield than ours and for the past 4 years that has been where derbies have been won and lost. 0-0. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want an unfit Naismith and Michael Smith being thrust into this game as an act of desperation by the manager only for us to then lose their services for a longer period of the season. Playing if 100% fit is perfectly understandable, being played by a manager in desperation to try and save his own job is not on. The season doesn't end after full time on Sunday.

On the evidence of the last few games, il be surprised if we don't concede. We really need to cut out the defensive mistakes and take it from there. 0-0 1-1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnybob72 Posted September 20 Concede an early goal as usual and then go on to lose with barely a whimper. Been a few like that at ER in recent times and see no evidence to suggest otherwise. Sad thing is Hibs are mince and there for the taking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martoon Posted September 20 I can see no reason to believe CL will choose either the right players or strategy or that after 6 months we'll suddenly start winning. But I think we will. It's illogical but Hibs, too, are fragile and I just have a feeling we will win and win well. In all likelihood loud cuckoo stuff but Hibernian 0 Hearts 3. Total Lochend meltdown, dotnut closed for the foreseeable and Heckingbottom chased up Easter Road by flame, pitchfork and ageing casual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turkishcap Posted September 20 Can we back the team 100% during the game (ok it could go tits up) but the players hopefully may respond rather than out chants etc, HT and after is one thing. Not so much seagulls at this game but could be vultures circling! I am now up for this game.....what a fool eh never learn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tull1874 Posted September 20 We usually get tickets in row S 90+, but on Sunday 6 of us are in row H seats 3-8. 5 of us are aged between 75-50, my daughter who is also going has just pointed out that we could be in the middle of the young team. Looking forward to a noisy first 3 points and kick start our season 🇱🇻🇱🇻 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maroonjam Posted September 20 Peierra, Smith, hacklet, berra, hickey Whelan, irving Morrison, mashino, mulraney Naismith That way we have experience and youth. The youth giving the energy and drive, no fear backed up with experience of naismith and Whelan 2-0 to the jam tarts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swanny17 Posted September 20 ""So the focus for us is not to assist the opponents, to do everything we can to stop them from scoring and I think that will then put us in a position where we've got a chance of winning."

Captain Canada Posted September 20 4-2-3-1 should work well: Joel Smith (only if 100% fit) Halkett Berra Hickey Damour Whelan Morrison Naismith (only if 100% fit) Meshino Uche Subs: Bobby, White, Dikamona, Irving, Keena, Clare and Mulraney Meshino needs to start and I think he could link up very well with Uche.
