grumpyespana Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just watched the Dundee un game on TV and it had me thinking what if we ended up in the play off and got Inverness Caley, it will be like there cup final with a few ex Hearts players and manager in there ranks if it was me I would be playing out my skin to prove us wrong for getting rid of those players.

JamboGraham Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 They are ex Hearts for a reason and if we failed over two legs then we deserve everything we get it...the only goal right now is to get ourselves up the table into a spot that would allow us entry to the playoff.

Negativity from the fans will translate to the team, they have to know we're behind them and they might just give their all. I know from recent performances thats hard to believe, but the noise inside Tynie v sevco was phenomenal and I'm sure it spurred the boys on to that win. We have to be that positive for every game. It looks like my next league game will be the home game v Motherwell on 7th of March, who knows what our situation will be then, but I will be right up for the game and will be screaming myself hoarse to encourage our boys to a win.

That means I'm often disappointed, but I'm never disillusioned, I believe in our football club, I wouldn't have signed up to FOH if I didn't. Following the Hearts has given me some of the best days of my life. I could never afford to follow the team abroad when we were in Europe, frustratingly, now I can afford that sort of thing, we're not there !. I remember walking along Dalry Road on my way to the Bayern Munich Uefa cup quarter 31 years ago, I was saying to everyone that night, "we can win this !" We know what happened, and we nearly got the goal in Germany that would take us to a European semi. I believe in Heart of Midlothian, I have to, it's my club.

alicante jambo Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 There is one thing for sure there is a lot more interest and excitement this year than the previous years. Remember the last few seasons saying feck this better just finishing the season now. Well lets pit it this way we are no mid table shite the now we are in deep shite. This will be one of the most memorable seasons for a long time good or bad. My prediction is we will do enough to be away from the play offs.Fingers crossed.

Tommy Brown Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I posted in December that we could be still bottom well into February. and fans need to stop hitting panic buttons. We had good performances against Aberdeen then getting a real bonus against Rangers. unfortunately, as I said back then, we have to learn how to win again,. Getting ahead at Perth, then shocking 2nd half. deplorable against Ross Co & Killie. The start against Hamilton last week. enough chances to win the game twice over. Probably glad it was off last night, I think we need big Toby in the engine room from now on in. Got to positive folks and try and get that feeling onto the pitch. we will get through this, but we must make sure our best team is on the park and get winning again.
