No fixed squad numbers on matchdays back in those days IIRC. And only 2 subs, normally numbered 12 & 14. If you lost your goalie, it was usually tough shit with an outfielder having to put on the goalie's jersey. How the game has changed!

I wonder how they dealt with number changes back then? No names on shirts back then. Maybe they had a 1 size fits all policy and they just swapped shirts. I know the club was profitable back then but football finances were another World from now and they still really had to count the pennies!

gregzy2k7 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 This for me is the real test, no point beating the Tim's on opening day if we can't go to paisley and win, I think we will struggle to break them down unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look a useful side and will probably finish about 6th. All I want is for Hearts to go there and try and win the game (not try to "not lose" it). No sideways-sideways-back-sideways-back to Gordon nonsense. This is pretty much how we'll approach the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Games like this are the acid test, our results at home are generally okay under Neilson, our away form is abysmal however, and it needs to change, he needs to start playing with the handbrake off and just let the players impose themselves on away games, we can definitely do it, but will he let us? Time will tell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 There’s many objectives for Hearts but if there’s one it’s to right the wrong of losing to teams like St Mirren, St Johnstone etc….far too often in the last few years. We need to get angry again. We need to rid the complacency and lack of tempo and hunger we’ve saw from Hearts in these games all too often for quite a while now.

We have become a bit of a joke in that regard, turning up for the big games and switching off v. smaller teams. A win on Saturday would put down a big marker for us this season.

They’ll hound us from the start. We need to be combative and have much more resolve and persistence. 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By last few years, do you mean like 40/50 years? We've always been vulnerable away from home at these teams in my lifetime. The last few years ( since Bob's first term) has seen our home form slip as well v these sorts, that's been the big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked, for example, St Johnstone couldn’t buy a win v us before roughly 2010. Now they have turned that around since then. Same with Kilmarnock(although now not in the SPL). Did you forget the away record chat we had? You always made it out to be bad and something we shouldn’t criticise recent managers about but that wasn’t the case. Apart from the OF, Hearts had a good away record once upon a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartsofgold Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 For me, this game is a 'consolidation' game in that, we need to consolidate where we actually are in terms of performance and expectations. I hate St. Mirren for every reason a Hearts fan should but we should be under no illusion that Goodwin will have them fired up and prepared for us. We need to be smart, resilient and solid. I wouldn't be surprised if they took the lead against us and if they do then how we respond is an indicator of where the team is developmentally speaking. Hopefully we ram it right up their Celtic loving farter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Games we need to dominate. If you dominate enough of these games then you win your fair share. Obviously want the 3 points, but I would like to see a shift in these away games to Hearts looking the more likelier of the sides regularly, and pushing these teams back. I'd start the same way again, but this time with Haring in. If its not going so well, can always hook one of the wingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 As others have said, we need to turn up and go for 3 pts, anything less undos the good result against Celtic.

Agree with what other posters have said as well that them hoofing the ball against us will totally negate any good midfield advantage we have. Why,we don't have to hoof it straight back, thus maintaining our good midfield advantage. We need to at least pick up a point but given our away form for the last long while thats very much in the balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
