***Official Heart of Midlothian v Hibs match thread***

[JamboAndrew]

Why would anyone talk them up. 

 

Things are bad just now, but if you've seen them play their midfield is as poor as ours, as is their defence. The big huddie up front got lucky with a few goals but he is still fresh air kicking and heading wide from in the six yard box.

 

The winner will be the team where some chances are finally converted, as both teams are creating a lot.

 

And the winner will be us.

It’s because they’re playing better than us. It’s a fair while since I’ve looked forward to a derby less than this one.

Tbf they aren’t really , what are able to do is take chances and break fast with pace. I think it was the 3-0 Aberdeen game people said it was almost a freak result

[jambosdad]

Bit worried that their pace outwide will catch us out.

 Hope not and that we can start the rebuild.

Uche and Smith to score.

Always been like that , was the same playing , at 90mins in a game 3-0 down still believed we would get back in it and win. 
 

Prob no different to Lockey , Levein etc its either in your blood to be like that or its not

I’d be looking to tell Hickey to go wherever Boyle goes. Whether he starts on the right and decides to switch left etc....Hickey has got the ability to match up with him.

Fair enough..That said my first ever derby saw a late, late OG winner right in front of us at Dunbar end. 27/10/81. F****** bedlam as an unnacompanied midweek 12 yr old who had skived in. 

Settle for that Thu !!

[Mr Elwood P]

As far as ‘narrative arcs’ and ‘written in the stars’ go, this is tailor made for a good Hibsing. Bottom of the league, can’t score, can’t defend,  can’t beat anyone.

Hearts 2-0 Hibs 

 

Some Hibs jakey to chuck one of those massive novelty bottles of vodka from row 15, only to kill someone’s poor nan in row 1! Hibs win the singing for the opening 15 seconds. They also win the 65 min fire drill.

 

FTH.

We play OK, other team scores. We then huff and puff, the fans turn, the arse falls out the team.

Beat Aberdeen as well.

FFS Hearts are bottom of the league for a reason. 

Apart from the odd cup game we've only won 3 home league games this year against St.Johnstone, Aberdeen and St.Midden, where on earth are you getting this unleveled confidence from ? 

I would absolutely love to be proved wrong here and right now I'll accept an ugly 1-0 victory but the way things have been going I just cannot see it. 

Pessimistic ? Nah just being realistic, won't be going on Thursday overly confident, just a glimmer of hope. 

 

[1953]

I'm depending on the' it's a derby so the form book goes out the window' thing to kick in because if it was down to form they would win, but it's not so that's ok then, 2-1 to us.

[Shanks]

Been waiting on this fixture coming around, nothing quite like pumping Hibs to get us going again.

uche

walker if fit

 

id play three in the middle to try and control game. Play Henderson for pace and a bit of an unknown. Play walker as he has looked our only goal threat at times. Play uche just coz he’s a handful and has previous of scoring against them. Biggest worry is where are the goals coming from?..

How I'm feeling about it.

They are not very good and are there to be had at the back.

But we have nothing.

Can only hope

No Naismith!. Levein might have scraped a 0-0 /1-0.

With DS high press and no goal threat..........could sting a bit this one.

Would take a point to stop the rot!

Might be glad  of a point come full time? But you never know  a quick hearts goal ?     I'm afraid we will be just as worried about Hamilton not beating st johnstone !!

First goal will be crucial but tbh thats true most weeks and derbies.

We live in hope but none seem able to go past a man and do something telling.

 

[Hectormasson]

This is the situation we find ourselves in,,, but the lack of ability in most of our players is frightening ! Cant f......g buy a goal" and that lot will sense this ?   Let's hope whoever plays lifts their game big time and we grind outta win ......👍🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦🇶🇦🍺

Michael Smith to be booked 11/2. That’s a crazy price. Free money.

I can't recall Hibs winning back to back derby fixtures at Tynecastle. Anyone care to advise if they've ever managed this in recent times?

They've only won here a total of about 3 times in my 25 years watching hearts so I doubt it

[Henrysmithstaxi]

Hearts score first it’s a 5-1 win.

 

Hearts don’t, I dread to think.

 

Honestly, the first goal, early on, is essential and then confidence and pressing will destroy them.

 

No first goal = no confidence. All goes to pieces.

 

Merry Christmas.

The only ones I can recall are;

 

1-2 earlier this year. 

 

Defeat around 2013 when the mutant Ross Caldwell scored late on. 

 

2007 when they scored early. (Beniusis debut?) 

 

1-2 around 2005 (Lee Miller scored for us). 

 

0-3 1999 (Fitzroy Simpson, Niemi recently signed and Severin at the back). 

 

1994 - Gordon Hunter winner to halt the run at 22.

 

I vaguely remember Paul Kane scoring in the late 80s but can't remember if they won. 

 

Their record is really abysmal.

Another relegation derby.  We should never be in that position but bring it on

 

Who's to say our great friends won't be battling on all fronts against relegation themselves in a few short weeks..  Don't think Ron's got very deep pockets.

In the last 40 years (when Hearts stopped the rot in 78-79) they have only won 9 times at Tynecastle.  

 

25 for us at their dive.
