Getintaethem Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Our worst start in the league since 1974 according to the sportscene pundits. Any of our stattos confirm this?

Mcinnes has the dons fans gunning for him after the doing they handed out. Anything similar will probably create a similar level of seethe among our own fans.

Cruyff Turn Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 We finished 8th that season. So aye, looks about right, I reckon if this keeps going, we’ll finish 8th this season. We will get horsed by Rangers and hopefully that’s enough for the board to sack him, make the right change and save our season from being the 4th miserable shitefest on the bounce. 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hearts are a bit like the Scotland team at the moment - with the injuries we have a new manager would have limited choice to change things. He wouldn’t have any budget for new players as when our players are all fit we have a strong first team. The last time we had all our players fit we went top of the league and unbeaten in whatever under Levein. Dont deny we can do better - Levein has proven it with last season’s squad - fully fit and stocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either a troll or Craig Levein himself. It's not just the injuries it's how he sets up the team with bizarre tactics and players being played in wrong positions, not to mention the eyebleeding style of football.

I don't think he is the man for the job but if we had a fully-fit squad we would be in the top 3. But then wouldn't that make him the man for the job? At the end of the day, Budge won't sack him becaues of the injuries. If we were playing this badly without the injuries she would have canned him ages ago. She sees real value in him as a coach/manager and thus won't can him becuase he can't achieve what he otherwise has done/could do with a fully-fit team.

Any of our stattos confirm this? Can't see it getting better anytime soon, with the next game being an on form Rangers team. We were bottom of the 18 team first division with two points after six Games. We didn't have an injury crisis and several of the so-called reserves were decent enough players if need be. We had a manager who allegedly had 'lost the dressing room' and Seith was sacked after a 4-1 home defeat to Aberdeen, followed by a 5-0 thrashing from Dundee United at Tannadice. We aren't getting a hammering like those days back in 1974 but we are a very hard watch and displaying relegation form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is - CL and his hopeless bunch of coaches are not able to set out a team that EVER looks likely of winning a football game. Oh yeah, injuries. **** me. and so it goes. Ad infinitum.
