Nine Unbeaten ( edited )

[Bazzas right boot]

 

That's the run of draws ended, so unbeaten in 7 now, 4 wins 3 draws.

 

2 home games and 1 away game coming up, I can see us being 10 unbeaten and the league over.

Can we see the league season out unbeaten?

 

[GinRummy]

Crikey. This is going to split the audience. Good luck. 

[Bull's-eye]

But what about the bleeding eyeballs and next season though?

No chance. Did you watch that pish today.

I’m just happy with a win today. Changes the whole weekend for me. 

[Gambo]

Should be 7 wins from 7 in this league if we are being honest.

[neilnunb]

Wow. Celebrating a run that includes 3 1-1 draws against the might of Morton, QotS and ICT. No wonder you worshipped Levein.

 

😁

[Kirky Jambo]

We certainly should be targeting finishing the season unbeaten but let’s get it wrapped up first. Some promising signs today but all too familiar panic as we almost throw away a comfortable lead and suddenly lose the ability to pass the ball.

Great post. 

 

Good 3 points today. Had GMS and Boyce not missed sitters it could have been a scudding.

Great to see RN setting up differently and trying different things. A breath of fresh air today. Wasn’t perfect and work to do but feels like we are moving in the right direction again.

Need to convert more chances but certainly an improvement.

It's good. He's doing a public service. Now all the posters who get more enjoyment from discussing how bad we are than they get from watching us win have a thread to mob and rehash their greatest hits from the past three weeks.

Think that was purposely the point of the thread. Not biting.

[manaliveits105]

Considering they ended up with everybody likely to score against us all on the pitch - the celtic loanee who scored against us at dens - Cummings - Sow and McGowan we survived !

It'll take a few hours after they have the group reach around on the other forum before they turn up on masse.

Or just discuss 7 unbeaten and the possibility of going the next 8 unbeaten as per the op? 

[Kidd’s Boots]

Not perfect today by any means, but a change of formation, and a win does make a difference.  Chances still need to be converted to make these games, and especially the last 15mins today more comfortable, but it's an improvement over the last few weeks. 

[Voice of reason]

Actually refreshing to see a positive thread title. We did play well for 65 minutes today and the new formation worked better. Something to take forward into the next games.

It was terrible but Gnando ****ed the pass as well, once Boyce had skinned the defender we made hard work of the 3v2.

Thank **** it wasn't an important miss, in the end.

Our performances now will have no bearing on next season. It's an entirely different league with teams who'll play an entirely different game against us. I'm not worried, tbh.

Agree. At least we got into the position to be 3 v 2 though. Very seldom we’ve got into those types of situations recently. Much better today, if I’ve got a complaint it’s that we seemed to run out of steam a bit towards the end but we won the match with a much more incisive style and that’s the main thing. Players should gain confidence and build from that performance.

Thought a positive thread, looking forward to the rest of season, after a win to go 7 unbeaten would be relevant and of interest to some. 

 

Maybe not. 

Too many agendas for it to happen? 

[been here before]

Are we still going to get relegated again next season though? Or at very best be lucky to finish 8th?

If you had posted it solely to be positive then aye, but we both know that wasn't the reason you've posted it. You're baiting, just like others bait us who don't see everything as doom and gloom as they do...

Tbh, I think we we played better and were in control overall v Morton and ICT. 

 

Football is strange, 7 unbeaten tho, closing in on promotion we should start to see a bit of a swagger.

Comfortably top 6. Pushing top 4 based on this seasons premiership though.

You talk of unbeaten to the end of the season BUT what I want to know is are we shite or not? Seven unbeaten is just a stat as is 15 pts clear at the top it is honest opinion that drives football and I have to know are we shite or what?

It would be nice but one look at the match day thread shows that this board is currently clogged up with posters who can't enjoy Hearts success at the moment.

 

I'm going to log off and enjoy my Saturday evening with the warm glow a Hearts win always gives me. Good luck fighting the good fight for the rest of the evening.

 

Next week is an opportunity to dominate a home game, rack up a few goals and keep a clean sheet. I expect us to win every game in March. April run of fixtures looks tougher, but looks quite likely to me that other teams (assuming they actually play some games) will have dropped enough points by then that we will either have won the league or so close as to be a foregone conclusion. Winning the league is all I care about.

Against Morton I agree to an extent. Against ict we tried to walk the ball into the net and showed them too much respect. Done it when it mattered today though. 15 points clear and our rivals with games in hand against each other. Will be nip and tuck for the play off spots but feels like we are home and hosed now. 

[Ex member of the SaS]

Claiming draws as unbeaten is a stretch, and in this league it really is papering over the cracks. Had we played the whole game the way we started, instead of going deep and allowing them the whole pitch I would be bouncing, However this is just a normal win and is nowhere near good enough for a team of our stature.

If only Robbie had allowed them to play as they started we would not have been sitting on the edge of our seats for 15 minutes.

Hopefully he sees how well we played and in comparison to the last few weeks we did play well and we should be playing like that every week from now on. Just don't do a Levein and defend a one goal lead.

Fortunately stats do drive football. At the end of the season we'll be awarded the league trophy because our points stats are better than everyone else's.

Fair enough. 

If folk see a positive thread as "baiting" now it's probably more a reflection on other topics, posters and jkb in general or maybe yourself. 

 

We're 7 unbeaten, I reckon we can see the season out unbeaten. 

 

Think what you want.

Yeah, I think if we win 2/3, it's done.

The rest of Scottish football must be shiting themselves, the Hearts are back. 

[SectionDJambo]

We got forward a lot quicker today, and were getting good crosses in during the first half. But for missing excellent chances it would have been very comfortable, although Dundee should have equalised in the first half. For me, much better than recent performances.

Still can’t trust the centre of defence though. Too many mistakes in there. 
Neilson changed the system for the better, and can’t be blamed for players missing easy chances. Like it or not, being in the Championship meant not being able to attract top players for every position. We will go up, and hopefully be able to bring in two or three better players, although finance might be a problem. We won’t be the only club who are short of cash, though.
