Canter Yesss!!! At this moment in time its a canter. Does the Alloa defeat not count because it wasn't in the league? The league cup was wide open and a great chance to get to another final but we blew it. If you think fairly regular defeats to teams with a fraction of our budget, with far inferior squads on paper is acceptable then lucky you.

deejtee Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Funny how some people were unrealistic enough to go unbeaten through the season and now we have the "winning the league at a canter" when at best we have slowed to a trot. We are poor at the moment and being saved by other teams' inability to have consistent results. I was stuck in a jam on the A90 and missed the first half but was not in the slightest surprised to see the score when I got home. In between the extreme views at times on here surely most of us are unenthused by current performances. What we are doing simply isn't good enough and the buck stops with Neilson. I was sad he left before but unsure about his return. He needs to find solutions soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely sick of it. I'm 64. Have no recollection of any season before 64/65. I can remember the pain of losing the league that season and the many many years of mediocrity since then. We have underperformed for my entire Hearts supporting lifetime. The fact we blew a cup win in December just shows nothing changes. But wait. Maybe fans of other clubs could come up with brutal defeats when success seemed inevitable. Of course they can. Our Hobbit chums have had some horrendous arse collapses including this season. We need to get our heads down and actually win promotion rather than talking out what we will potentially do next year in the premier league. If RN fails to get us up. He will be justifiably sacked. If we are promoted we will need every penny available to get us to top 6 standard. I hope that we as fans continue to support the club even if those in charge are tainted by overseeing less than successful managers. A new manager next season must always remain an option.

Look at it like a hurdles handicap race. Every other horse is handicapped by the fact that our horse has the most money and better players. Our horse is in the lead partly because all the other handicapped horses are much at the same level and keep getting in the way of each other. Despite theoretically being the best horse by miles we seem to have a trainer that is doping the horse, and as a result we are going slower than we should be and hitting far too many hurdles along the way. We’ll win the race in the end but we’ll be totally shown up if our horse try’s to step up in class next season. Sometimes the only way to improve the horse is to go to a new stable with a new trainer. Some trainers can only win handicap races, when their horse is the overwhelming favourite. That’s their level.
