jambotony Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 is it too early to start one of these? I'm feeling optimistic, if we there fans get behind the players, forget the Boycott for 90 mins and drive the team win.. I think we might just get a result against them..

1971fozzy Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 No Naismith ? 0-4 or thereabouts. Unless there’s a freak performance like the Celtic 4-0 a couple of years ago but I think that’s unlikely. We are nearly 7/1 to win and that’s about right under this clown.

copa-mundial Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Given our woeful home start to the season. Sevco going top of the league before the international break. Celtic playing on Saturday, Sevco will not want to give up top spot for long. I can't see anything other than an away win in this one. It really pains to write this. Sevco will smell blood right from the off. Gerrard will know of our poor record. Their players will feed into it. An early goal for them really could go on to be a pasting for us. Please, please let me be so wrong in my thought process though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Bishop Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) No tinkering, keep players in their positions and we may have a very small chance at snatching a point, i think it will be a point or bust. If they score early, could be 4 or 5.

Cut The Crap Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 I think CL's first game as Hearts manager was a narrow home defeat to Rangers. His teams have barely managed to lay a glove on them for the past 19 years. Nothing makes me think that is going to change this weekend. It's really just a question of how embarrassing it could get.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) If we don't throw any goals in we have a chance. This rangers team are good especially when they get ahead. However, away from home they've been beat at celtic, narrow wins over Killie and St mirren ( set pieces being the difference) and after being held at ht to St Johnstone they then scored then ran away with it, as they often do. Keep it tight, no mistakes and we have a chance. Throw in a couple of goals, let them get in their stride we could get hammered tho. They have been pretty slick going forward. I think this game has came a bit early for Haring, Walker and Naismith to be back. That, along with Halkett, Souttar and Washington makes this game against the leaders a bit more challenging that It should be. That list is depressing tbh, especially for these big games. If the boycott goes ahead that will Likley give rangers a lift too, that's the last thing they need as well.

Bauld Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Pressure might be key to this one. If we give them time on the ball we have had it but if we adopt the Klopp heavy metal football approach and go after them we might have a chance. Certainly have to be on morelos the moment he touches the ball. If we can wind him up without doing anything stupid ourselves he will either get sent off or be less effective.

You're getting mixed up with a pressing game v a team that has more possession than you and you concede possession to in order to play that way with running about a football pitch. You can't play a pressing game v someone who sits in and plays diagnols or a longer game. Rangers play a shorter passing style of play so a pressing game might work v them. Wouldn't work v Ross county, Hamilton, Motherwell or Killie. We just need to show more quality v these teams, nothing to do with pressing or running about aimlessly.

We simply over ran teams with better, fitter players and a good manager that had lots of confidence built up over time. More possession, more shots, more creative, fitter, stronger just over ran most teams from what I seen. Also, relatively injury free. 👍 Which allowed us to build momentum and confidence. Tactics v qos, cowdeanbeath, Falkirk etc won't work v top flight teams. I see no relevance in games of the championship v teams in the top league or rangers. What works v Rangers or celtic won't work v all the teams, what works v hibs won't necessarily work v Killie. It's not how football works Not sure why that needs explained tbh I'll leave you to be dissapointed if we do press rangers and get a result. You can be the first on here to come on raging.

martoon Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Can't see us scoring or keeping a clean sheet so it's impossible to be even slightly optimistic. However, I don't think it will be a landslide defeat either. I won't be there. Not really because of any boycott as such, more that my nephew and I simply don't fancy it. ST's bought and paid for, so no financial loss to the club other than refreshments, but it saddens me that a 16 year old and myself, an avid fan of nearly 45 years, feel so apathetic.
