Going for 0-2 Boyce and then Washington late on. 

 

                       Pereira

       Clare Halkett Souttar White

                   Sibbick Irving

Washington  Naismith  Moore

                        Boyce

 

Donis, Uche and Meshino to come on second half at some point. 

 

  

 

Am I missing something about the predicted formation in terms of Hickey still injured.

Aye, seemingly staved his thumb at Hillend

Surely my 3 or 4-1 win isn't going to be the most outrageous prediction?  Come to think of it, one guy went 5-0 a couple of pages back.  Top man.

We've got a lot of good options now but I'd go for a 4-4-2 because they really seemed to struggle against balls into the box the other night.

Clare Halkett Souttar White

Donis Sibbick Irving Thiam 🤞

Naismith Boyce

 

Subs: Bobby, Dikamona, Langer, Meshino, Washington, Henderson and Walker

This is the start of a tough spell, with 5 games inside 2 weeks. Think Irving and Henderson will get a rest.

Think the main question marks are over who will play left back and the two wide positions. I wouldn't be surprised to see Avdijaj start.

 

Also, Langer could start ahead of Sibbick but my money would be on him starting on the bench - which will be strong.

Oh aye, there’s a game on! 😃 Really hoping we continue the momentum and carry it into a win today. A defeat must be avoided at all costs but 3 points would do nicely. Hoping there’s not any over-confidence from the team after last week, St. Johnstone may have played midweek and got humped but Wright will have them up for today and feel he has a point to prove against modern tactics again. Stendel of course will be looking to make amends but if I was a betting man (which I’m not as I’m shockingly bad at it) I may put a wee punt on Clare to score. Last time against St. Johnstone he got subbed and the Hearts support wildly cheered the decision, prompting Stendel to have to say we should support more. A lot has happened since then but perhaps this could be a full redemption for Clare as he puts in another MOTM performance and bags a goal in the process?

Well, today we find out if the Rangers game was just a flash in the pan or we are actually on to something. I feel like it is different now. A new dawn.

Sibbick was excellent on Sunday so if dropped to bench will be down to his niggle that he displayed I think.

 

****, we actually have a strong bench. It only took Daniel 7 weeks to do this.

Massive game this after last week and a massive 3 points available if we win. I reckon it will be a very close game maybe 2_2. A draw would not be a disaster but maybe the corner has turned for us and we could be off the bottom by tonight. Come on hearts do this.

Disagree for me the main question is  how many attacking players will we end the game with"? 5 last weel set our stall out, we dont want draws, we want wins, wins wins. Blitzkrieg!!! 🙄

Couldn't agree more.  Bedtime for me after a really good day.  Will be up at 4 and look forward to us going out all guns blazing.  

 

The past is the past.  If they're expecting a dithering levein performance, they're in for a shock.

I think the same team as last week apart from the 2 wide positions. Henderson and Moore did well but don’t think they will both start, think Donis or Washington will start or maybe both.

Where’s the best pubs to go pre match? Doesn’t appear to be much around the ground.

And I wonder who backed him over the 7 weeks to achieve this 🙄🙄🙄...

There is nothing near the ground. Plenty in the town centre then short bus ride up to game.  Foundry in town is probably best, big pub and plenty screens.

You’re getting good at this my friend 👍.

 

I suspect Haring is still several weeks off training.  Be surprised if he’s back pre-split and I think the signing of Langer was attributed to this.

Much more optimistic under Stendel but I still don't trust hearts away from home to anyone. Pretty nervous about this.

Listening to the weather forecast just now. Strong winds and rain forecast  for most of the day. Could anyone living in Perth keep us posted, I've heard no mention of pitch inspections so far.

Pitch looked dreadful on Wednesday night for the Celtic game especially goal mouths

A winning performance away from home would be a big step forward and would really keep momentum going.

 

Miserable day. Awkward opponents. We need to be at it from whistle.

 

If we win the battle our quality up front should make the difference.

Youre right. A win should not be underestimated. We havent won back to back in the league for a year so it would be a big step. 🤞🤞

 These are the days that Naismith and Boyce can be the difference.

 

Be interesting to see how they work together.

Because we are shit away from home and it's against a bottom 6 team. 

 

We are generally up for the fight against the old firm at Tynecastle.

I don’t think it's a bigger test but it’s a more realistic test of progress.

Stendel’s Hearts are different, we are gaining a bit momentum and confidence and this will carry on today. 
4-0 or 4-1 victory to us.
