If we can beat the shite teams consistently, we'll not only have turned a corner but find ourselves high up the league with the new lads getting fitter, sharper and gelling as we progress. Could, be quite exciting. Our next game will be a decent marker as to how well we have progressed. Away to Ross County is never easy so if we get a result up there then that is a sign we are heading in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once a quarter of games are gone we'll have a good indication of how things are going. Right now, for me we still don't get enough bodies in the box, but we do create a few very good chances each game socan score. We are also generally quite tight at the back with Craig there so won't concede much. I'm more relaxed about away games right now than I have been for a long time. I agree with guys on another thread a 4132 is the way to go now. Edited September 13, 2021 by Smith's right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people making accusations. Thsts why the word agenda is getting branded about. It's the same stuff from when levein was getting criticised. It's getting used to stop any criticism. Can anyone show who has an agenda? Turn it round and you'll see it's the same ones accusing others of having agendas or only criticising because they hate the person. Same few doing that. I'll name them when someone asks up their agenda claim. It's a football team not a political party It's not a cheap reply, there are plenty with a relentless, admitted, thing against Robbie.

We could have had better results in individual games obviously, and we haven't played well in every game or even really for a complete 90 minutes yet. However, any realistic expectation of what we should be achieving has been met and overall the progress has been very good, especially as we've got a significant number of new players integrating into the team. We now enter a run of very winnable games on paper, and those are a test for us because those type of games we've been awful at for a long time. I find its because people can separate aims and expectations. I would want us to go into every game with the aim of winning it, but I would not expect us to win every game. As you say expectations need to be realistic, and we have met them or exceeded them so far, we can aim higher and would hope we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts are in the same basket as Aberdeen and Hibs - never going to win the title in the foreseeable future but will have spells with occasional cup wins and hopefully semi-regular qualification for Europe. Those with higher expectations should maybe look elsewhere if they can't deal with the reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, playing away to two of last season's bottom six teams (one of which beat the reigning champions in their previous home game) should be a guaranteed six points, yet when playing at home to the teams in 3rd & 4th last season, coming away unbeaten is disappointing. Double standards much? Think how Hibs and Aberdeen fans feel - playing away to the newly promoted side, and failing to win. They should have had a guaranteed three points each. Ross & Glass oot!

Gordon Ramsay Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Didn't think yesterday was too bad. We had them under pressure more than they had us under pressure. They are apparently the best team out with the old firm but didn't look like anything special. Quite a lot of hoofs for a supposed flair side. Have moaned a lot about Robbie but we have started the season better than I expected and have played fairly well. As long as we keep it up I'll keep my gripes to a minimum.

As long as we keep it up I'll keep my gripes to a minimum. Playing pretty well, combos in the final third aren't quite there yet, it hasn't gelled but when you consider that the players in that area have not had a huge amount of time, its not a surprise if frustrating. Next 3/4 weeks before next international wave would like to think it will come together, Hibs had continuity and only thrived off hitting us on the break. Really good shape to Hearts, they look confident and strong on the ball and defend well with a terrific keeper. Apart from the lack of polish in the final third, Smith still lacking a bit going forwards and Halkett seems to have taken Pospescus dodgy habit of holding on to it, waiting patiently for a pass before making a horrible one.

Six of those games were when they were in the Championship, they are a better team now though. Two wins in 8 is as poor a ratio as any Hearts manager since the 1970s.

We attacked plenty but we’ve now scored one goal from open play in the last three games (I’m not counting Boyce’s rebound).

Lots of the posts seem to either be posters that won't change their view regardless of the performance (e.g. we were negative and scared of losing) or were written with the benefit of hindsight (e.g. we shouldn't have put Ginnelly on).
