Just sit back and say oh well? To be honest that's what I'm doing. It's tiring to hear folk being optimistic because they're only kidding themselves on.

Come on Craigy boy and the Hearts team, prove the doubters wrong. We'll start with 3 points tomorrow. 3 pints of vodka and that might start feeling like a realistic scenario.

Nookie Bear Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Posters can sod off with this “free hit” chat. Absolute bottom-6, pathetic loser, diddy team mentality. And also wrong. When you feck up the last 12 months so badly and, more specifically, find yourself in a relegation spot after 8 games...every point is precious.

Ex member of the SaS Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 By all accounts a great battling performance that simply papers over the cracks. Will take a 1-1 as we need the points but we should have been playing like this against the lower league teams. Sadly doesn't change my opinion he has to go and not just back upstairs.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He's clearly still got the players on side. The game today changes nothing tho, we need wins v the lesser teams in the next few games. This game was good for confidence, we need to build on it with wins. Do that and we're rocking.

David McCaig Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The frustrating thing about today is that when we are set out the right way, we show we are a good side. How many points have we thrown away playing variations of a back 3 when it is blindingly obvious we are a 4231 side!! Todays formation was spot on, can we trust Levein to keep changes to a minimum v Livingston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a battling performance, it was a performance we're entitled to expect against the "lower" teams that has been sadly lacking. There's still clear deficiencies in CM & creative areas of the pitch where we need to do much better. But they got a point and hopefully will go on to better things.

The start of last season being case in point. Amazing start, very happy and vocal fans, and teams really worrying about us. A repeat of that, and also consistently picking up points is absolutely possible, and I'm hoping it happens. This year I think, aside from the arsecheeks, who outspend everyone on a ridiculous scale, the final league placings will be much tighter than usual. And a nice run and regular points will see us top 4. And top 4 this season, plus getting to the Scottish cup final, would do me nicely. I also wouldn't say no to winning the Scottish cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the grim reality is that they have a multi million pound squad and will finish miles ahead of everyone outside Celtic because of that. Another reality is that only Celtic have taken any points at all from them prior to this game and a further reality is that few others will do that. I'm pretty sure they would be celebrating a 1-1 if the situation were reversed and they were facing Barcelona at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morph Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A hungry team, getting in opposition faces, reluctant to shell it at the first chance, not constantly passing back to the centre halves, a player left up when defending corners. Are we sure that was actually levein in the dug out today Im long past wanting to give him more time, he could’ve snuck the win today and it wouldn’t have changed my mind but if the team played with that urgency and grit every week we wouldn’t be getting beat of your Ross county’s etc at tynecastle at the very least. Thought his Meshino sub was poor but apart from that he set us up well today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
