Absolutely not a chance we’re not winning this league by double figures It is not as comfortable as it should be at this moment in time. We need players to step up and make their mark to see out the season, the new players in particular. Lee and Wighton have been shipped out but both of them had contributed to our points tally through goals and assists. GMS, Gnando, Mceneff have not chipped in to the points tally yet. Ok Gnando got the icing on the cake goals vs Raith but, nothing yet from these guys in terms of being the match winners. That’s what we need to see in upcoming games.

Ex member of the SaS Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 My worry is the nearer the end of the season we get to with a few points ahead the players will try even less. The mentality of " Oh we are winning this league easy peasy " will mean some will be less motivated to put in a shift. Once that attitude sets in and teams below us go on a run it will get a little hairy, and it's harder to get the players back up for it.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 As much as it went against us last season average PPG is not a bad barometer. Right now we are 2.15 or thereabouts next best Raith around 1.7. Raith would get to 46 points, we need 8 points really but are likely to get 57. Its comfortable despite the pantwetting.

The moans are all about the quality of performances. Games we should be strolling are a battle. Teams we should be blowing away are taking points off us. We are well clear and will win the league, BUT we need to improve massively when we do go up, and NOW is the time to build to that goal.

DC_92 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 "If Raith/Dunfermline/Dundee win their X games in hand then they'll only be 6 points behind!!" How many times have we heard something similar to this in the last few weeks? It's a new team every week because the previous threat can't string two wins together. The reality is we've been dogshit since the turn of the year and have continued to extend our lead. It's right to ask questions of performances and results but there is no danger we won't win the league. We probably only need another 10/11 points from 9 games to wrap it up.

jambonian Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I'll take two wins right now to re-ignite some confidence. It will ease pressure somewhat at least as the games start to run down. The only consolation is that we are now down to 9 games to go. If we were playing a full quota of games we would struggle. We shouldn't be biting our nails and living of our nerves in this league, it's an embarrassment. But when you have Mr Tippy-Tappy mark 2 in charge, are we that surprised? All these folk that say other clubs are cutting each others throats and taking points of each other is all very well but all it takes is a team to hit a bit of form at the right time and our lot will press the panic button when there's been no need to. Dunfermline could quite easily hit that bit of form with the help of our striker Wighton, probably one of the most stupid pieces of business i've ever known of in nearly 40 years of watching Hearts.

The manager should be looking at sweeping changes to change the pattern of play because we are sleepwalking / coasting along. Maybe Berra back at sweeper in a 3-4-3, get Aidy White involved, get Irving and Haring involved, and Henderson. Even Frear. Even give the reserve keeper a game. Get the guys who’ve not been playing involved, we need to inject some desire and hunger. 5 or 6 changes if possible. You can’t go 3 points from 9 in this division and just keep the same players in the team. The fact is the guys who have been starting the games are currently coasting and doing only the bare minimum. We should be ringing the changes for Dundee, we have to change things dramatically and put a totally different team out. Thankfully his hand is somewhat forced to change things if Smith is out. I’ve been a defender of Neilsons but a clear sign of drastic action is needed now or the dip in form could become more damaging at the wrong time of the season. Naa, listening to Craig last night he's the only one who gives a shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
