Kiwidoug Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I understand that we may not win all these games but someone predicting we will draw with Motherwell at Tynecastle for example is surely saying that Motherwell are effectively better than us. I think there is a huge difference in recognising that we might lose or draw a game to predicting that we will. I think we'll win all 3 and draw at ibrox.

RustyRightPeg Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Confident and with a wealth of attacking options of a quality that he hasn’t had before I expect us to be positively set up in all of the games and to score more than once in them all.

Cruyff Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 9 points would be fantastic but as long as we get 7 then that's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloustonHMFC Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 7 points out of those 3 games is an acceptable return tbh and I would skip forward and not play those games if you offered me that right now however internally 9 points should be the target.

Watched the Motherwell v Aberdeen game, they suckered the Dons, very physical side who are not afraid to put the boot in and ironically go down when any opposition players look at them They will come to Tynecastle to frustrate and quieten the crowd, typically the type of team we struggle against over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Motherwell is, potentially, the toughest of the three. Decent looking side and I think their head coach is a good one. Tbf, all three games are tough. We'll have to do very well to get the 9 points available or the lion's share. 🦁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Daddy Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 More than capable of taking the 9, however, we’re just one or two brain farts away from dropping points. However, one thing that RN has made us, is very hard to beat… think it will come down to how many chances we can convert (stating the obvious I know)… but if we can score in each game, I think we’ll take at least 7 points.

I'm thinking of the 3-0 win in 1996. Squad should be up to speed by then and, although a similar win is unlikely, I think a good result through there is possible. If we still have our current momentum going into the Ibrox visit I'll feel quite confident of getting something from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramrod Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The acid test for RN. We have only managed 5 pts out of 9 available at home which isn't a good enough return. We definitely need to win our next 2 home games and a win against County would be nice and prove we are progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Rob Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 11 hours ago, Boris said: I don't disagree with your comments re home and away form, but top 4 regulars? The history doesn't really bear that out, unfortunately. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Heart_of_Midlothian_F.C._seasons Play to our potential and we should be, but stringing two successive seasons together has always been tough for us. It sort of depends on how you view it. If you look at the period from 1995-6 (when we started reaching cup finals regularly) up until 2011-12 (when we won our third SC of recent times), we finished in the top 4 on 10 occasions out of 17. Probably enough to call us top 4 regulars, especially since we were 5th in 4 of the remaining seasons and only outside the top 6 once. Granted, things went a bit cactus after that.

Yeah, that's fair comment. It shows we are there or thereabouts, but what annoys me (always has tbh since regularly watching Hearts from about 84 onwards) is our general inability to string two (three is almost unheard of!) decent finishes in a row. I guess that was my take on regularity. But then that's just Hearts being Hearts, I suppose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 While on paper we’ve had a difficult start, in some respects it’s maybe suited us in terms of the way these teams played or tried to play against us. What we’re going to see in the next two is a ten men behind the ball defensive wall approach, something we’ve not dealt with well in the past. I’m not sure we need Harring and Beni we need some to come from deep and go beyond the forwards, we also need to see our wingers go past people and there’s probably a case for Gnando to be in there to use his height.

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Anyone know when the tickets for the Motherwell game will go on sale? I'm going to be in Edinburgh that weekend. First chance of a proper crowd since before the lockdowns. There's only Ross County and Livvy tickets for sale at the moment.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Before Sunday was hoping for 10 points from this batch of 4, always a team that will dig in for a draw as the wee team battled for. So it has to be 9, Saturday will be the hardest County desperate for something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree If we could go up there on Saturday and hammer them 4-0 and RN balls take your fecking medicine at FT I would be delighted, County are an unlikeable club with that bafoon McGregor at the helm, for what it's worth though I think it will be difficult and would take any win.

Just wondering what the thoughts/expectation are for these games?.. 5 or 6 points and we're in the fight for 3rd but it won't be easy. 7 and we're going to be on the coattails of the arsecheeks until fairly late in the season, before finishing 3rd by a comfortable distance. 9 and Partick can start looking forward to the Premiership flag being delivered to Firhill next year!
