Putting the horrendous Covid situation aside, financially, we've been in a better situation than at any time in my following Hearts (and that's not yesterday) yet we have somehow managed to make an erse of just about everything we've touched over the past few years. It goes way beyond incompetence, but I'm at a complete loss as to how we have managed to get it so feckin wrong. Agreed mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not start with the strongest team, go out and dominate the opposition and get the game won? If Gino lasted 30 mins or the whole 1st half it's surely better. The lesser quality players then come on when the opposition are facing an uphill battle, and are tiring too. Perhaps a sign of RN's mentality, I don't know. it’s the reason most of us don’t want him managing. Add in his awful away mentality and it’s brutal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you need to put a bit of perspective on the whole game right now. Yes the players are well paid for the privilege of wearing the maroon jersey. And yes, there are some imposters who need cleared out. But the squad are not immune to the circumstances of the world right now. Playing at an empty Tynecastle is just one part of that, and it doubtless makes a huge difference. We’re still top of the league. We’ll still win the league. Relax ffs. This would be fair enough if it was a premier game and we’d lost to Killie or someone. Raith were league 1 last year and we have a team full of internationalists. Our reserves pumped them. It shouldn’t be underestimated how shocking a result like this is.

Everything at the club is set up to accept shite like this. I don’t care how shite Hearts were years ago or folk should stop overreacting. The same folks were saying this under Levein. The mentality at the club seems to be its all about taking part that counts. They say a team matches a manager’s character. Slow, boring and dull. 100%. Anyone trying to excuse this has chucked it.

Danny Wilde Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Elements of this season are repeating what we saw last season, when the way to avoid being bottom required "only" that we beat the teams around us - which we singularly failed to do. Currently we're doing our level best to avoid automatic promotion, by again failing to beat the teams around us. 2 more defeats this week - which is somewhere between possible to likely on current form, and we're right back to square one. There really is something rotten running through the mentality of Hearts on the playing side, it feels embedded and I don't recognise the club sometimes.
