.....The official Ross County v Heart of Midlothian match day thread .....

[heartandsoul]

Well we need new signings NOW. Or else we are gone. These are the hard facts.

[neilnunb]

Looks like Washington is the new boo boy target.

 

🤣

 

Boy is just back from 5 months out ffs.

[rmreido]

A point gained, but deary me, couldn't score in a barrel of fannys 

[GinRummy]

Is anybody else just a bit meh about that? Considering we’ve got the same players we’ve had all season and we were away from home I’m not gutted but just a wee bit disappointed.

1 point away from home is better than 0  points away from home especially when those around you lose.

Correct.

What's that 2 points from 7 league games since the change? 

It's bizarre, things look better, yet somehow seem worse. 

A STRIKER is a must. 

This. 
Shite Hearts. Get the cash spent. You will wish you did if we go down!

Am seriously contemplating deleting my kickback account. The levels of stupidity on here from that group is incredible. Stendel has signed one guy, has only one of his coaches and has been on the post 6 weeks? Actual crazy. 

 

Thier expectations will never be met. 

 

A particular group will always be vocal and premature in calling for a managers head. 

They will then say they were correct when he leaves, celebrate the new man and rinse and repeat. 

Robbie - Cathro - CL-Stendel, has already started.

Correct, but let’s uber dissect the negative on JKB for the next 3 days ......... 

[Paisley Jambo]

A point closer than start of play.

Washington needs gone. Uche after him. So poor it's shocking.

94 minutes and not one shot on target. Frightening. 

one goal in our last 9 away games (includes the semi) says everything. If we cannot address this we will have no chance of surviving

This is what the season now amounts to. Desperate attempts to gain a point occasionally on the teams immediately above us. 2 wins in 23 does not augur well. We are at present odds on to be playing in the Championship next season.

 

What bookie is that with?

[Kiwidoug]

I was worried when I read that we'd lost Smith and Hickey through injury.  Meant Stendel had to make all kinds of adjustments.

 

Hope they are both available on Sunday and we give Rangers a sound thrashing.

1 minute ago, RustyRightPeg said:the further into this season that we’re getting, the more it is becoming apparent that the so called upper echelon of this club that we love, and have supported have “at heart” so to speak have nothing but financial interests in this club. 
 

The mess that the absolute Charlatan Craig Levein has left, supported and trusted by the one time saviour of this club, have fu****g buried it into the ground with a negative, losing mentality. Both him and Budge were once seen as saviours, they should now hang their heads in shame. 
 

Budge, who promised financial backing to our new manager, has vanished since Levein went upstairs to do nothing apart from literally steal a wage is now becoming more and more invisible on a day to day basis. 

Stendel has to be a miracle worker from now until the end of this season.

 

As time goes on, the theory that a manager 90% of the time is only as good as the players he picks more and more applies.  He’s working with players he probably doesn’t rate. There’s obviously a few he does and will keep and improve, but he needs to perform an overhaul to be judged on a team in his image and identity.

We’ll be getting a striker likes. It was surely Stendel’s first priority. Just cos Donis came first I don’t think it means we aren’t getting one. 

[johnthomas]

Point gained 

[hearts00]

It’s so disappointing. 
 

been going on for 15 months. Brutal. 
 

Stendel comes in and shakes it up and changes style and in 5 league games, and we have to admit five easier premier league games, we have scored two goals. 
 

it really is shocking.

Holy **** do we ever need a goalscorer. Not at all convinced by what Washington is supposed to be bringing. 

 

 A striker that doesn’t even look capable of scoring against dross like Cowdenbeath and Airdrie doesn’t inspire confidence.  Sure, he’ll run about all day but a fit Washington certainly isn’t going to be the answer to our problems - the new guy better be good because Washington snd Uche ain’t keeping us up!

 

All in all, not a bad night though, with all the other results going our way.  However, we need to start winning games and not relying on everyone else, especially with likely defeats coming up in the next few games against the arse cheeks.

This X 100

[Jamboross]

Not a brilliant result but we are now 3 games unbeaten for the first time since September (and only the 3rd time in 13 months) and a point closer to those above us. 

 

Our home games are what will decide whether we stay up, win most of them and get scrappy draws away from Tynecastle and we'll be alright.

Gus played his second 90 minutes in months. 

Naismith just back as well. 

Donis first game in the country. 

 

Too many folk play football manager and take that forward to real life. 

[Thomaso]

I feel we dodged a bullet tonight - thankfully both St Mirren, Hamilton and St Johnstone lost but jeez we are desperate for some quality in our team!

[Francis Albert]

Is it right st Johnstone’s game in hand are against rangers and Celtic?

They seem to have 2 games in hand?

[1971fozzy]

We don’t score goals it’s that simple. Needs to change urgently otherwise we will go down.

hopefully Naismith and the new lad start scoring.

washington and Uche are never goalscorers.

Indeed. Some of the excitement, given our predicament, is baffling. 

[hearts00]

I doubt any more encouragement or evidence was needed. We need to sign more players to get out of this.

Well it's a point mixed feeling  ,hopefully anybody who thought we would just stroll our way out of relegation now realises it ain't going to be that easy .

Hopefully we can get Boyce in and one or two others .

 

 

[Bull's-eye]

Good point.

 

A team so devoid of confidence was never just going to click into gear immediately.

 

Pleased.

They literally could’ve played without a goalkeeper, I never thought it would ever get this bad, ever. 

This gives me the fear. Most games have been like that. The opposition keeper’s sponsor could save a fortune because Hearts don’t dirty their gloves. Shot shy shite!

Could of been worse given the first half.

A point gained on teams above but really disappointed that we never tested them.

with Clare, Smith and Hickey back we should do better.

Uche and Washington are really not helping the cause. They badly need a goal.

not a disaster but thankfully we got a hand from other teams tonight

It’s have, could have been worse, or could’ve been worse.  You’re welcome.

4,301 is a fantastic crowd for a town the size of Dingwall.  Population is only around 5,000 I think.

 

Presume around 1,000 were the good guys.

Don't forget, Stendel lost 9 out of 10 before he was sacked at Barnsley. 

I don't think I've ever seen so many negative posts in such a short space of time by a single poster, and the bar is very high.

Congratulations. 

ps please don't tell me to waken up, I prefer to give our managers more than 5 weeks.
