martoon Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 There are five games between this and the next international break. What are your thoughts and predictions about these games? Will we still be in touch with, or indeed be, the league leaders after them? Any other general thoughts about the current break helping or hindering our preparations, what the top 6 may look like come the November break, Dundee still being with us...? A. Rangers L H. Dundee W A. St. Johnstone D A. Aberdeen W H. Dundee Utd W 10 points would be acceptable for me and enough to keep us within a few points of the top. Not a bad place to be in November with a third of the league campaign played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) A. Rangers D H. Dundee W A. St. Johnstone W A. Aberdeen D H. Dundee Utd W I'll say 11 points. Aberdeen will get it together eventually. I've got a small hope we might sneak something at Ibrox...

August Landmesser Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Nine points should keep us in second, but I'd be hoping for an unbeaten run, 11-13 points. Ibrox is not as daunting as it has been in the past. We can get something there (not a pumping!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Lose to Rangers and win the rest is how I see it going. A morale boosting thumping of Dundee will get the guys up for the following three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCant Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Win the two at home obviously. Rangers we rarely get anything so I’d bite your hand off for a point. Perth and Pittodrie will be the big indicators of where we are . 4 points between those two and we’ll be reasonably happy with 10 points I’d have thought. Actually winning at Ibrox is a game changer obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Anything above 9 would be good. Anything below 6 a bit shit. Gonna go for 8 points Defeat 2 draws 2 wins. We'll still be second but celtic tucked in just behind us and Rangers getting ready to pop the champagne if they beat celtic next time. Exciting stuff.

Rogue Daddy Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 A. Rangers D H. Dundee W A. St. Johnstone W A. Aberdeen D H. Dundee Utd W 11pts ...can see 2 (possibly 3) draws in that run. 3 tricky away games so we need to make sure we definitely don't slip up at home.

Shows how far weve come that could be in anyway underwhelming!!!!! Agree that 8 or above would be fine enpugh. 10 or above excellent. Unbeaten after this run would be stauner stuff.

For some aye, I fully expect to level off and be in the fight for third. I also think we'll hit a 4/5 games spell were we don't win. So for me it's just football. I'd like to be suprised tho and come out of this with 3 or 4 wins with a result at Ibrox and as long as we win then as you say there is some movement expected in my special area. However, I'll expect the former tho and not descend into an emotional wreck should the OF pull away and we're in about third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtartan74 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Sevco L Dundee W St Johnston L Aberdeen D Dundee United W 7 points, we never win at St Johnston, Aberdeen will be a tight game, easy win against Dundee probably putting 4 or 5 past them, Dundee United will be a close game but will see out a hard fought win, and the 1st one well I think Sevco will probably win by two or three goals. However this looks to be a far better Hearts side than previous seasons and look like we could win any game so on that basis just scrap all of the above and 5 out of 5 it is then 15 points easily 🇱🇻🏆🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown user Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 An average of 2 points a game would be great but I'm going for 5 wins as we'll definitely win all those games.

1953 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I'm going to go for still being unbeaten after these 5 games. A point at Ibrox and pitodrie and win the rest so 11 points and lay the Perth hoodoo to rest with a convincing 3- 0 win up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your having problems distinguishing between what we’d like to happen and what we think will happen. As long the win ratio is higher than the draw ratio going the next 5 unbeaten that’s an excellent set of results. No one is ‘shiting’ it YET off us. Rangers won’t be, St Johnstone and Aberdeen unlikely to shite it. Anything from 10 points upwards is pretty good going. I agree with SRB in that we’re likely fighting for 3rd. However I disagree when he says this Hearts team will hit a run of 4 or 5 games without winning. I just don’t see the potential for such a dip in this team.

martoon Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 One thing I'm absolutely certain of is that Rangers will be fired up on the 16th. Even if they're not taking Hearts too seriously as contenders, privately, they will be determined to put us in "our" place publicly. We will have to be very, very good on the day to stand up to the kind of onslaught I'm anticipating. It would be fantastic if we can.

gregzy2k7 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Rangers - draw Dundee - Win St J - Win Aberdeen - Win Dundee Utd - Win 13 points! Some might say I'm overly optimistic, I just think that we are better than most of these teams, If we get something at ibrox I think our confidence from that will carry us through the other games (this is providing we don't get any injuries to Gordon, Boyce or Beni) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why everyone is Sh!tting their pants off the buns, they really are playing well below par even though they are top of the league, in all honesty they should have drawn against Dundee and if H1b5 never got a man sent off that was a stick on draw imo. Relax man, we have Scotlands number 1 in goals, A very solid defence(who have conceded the least amount of goals in the league btw) we have Xavi an Inesta in midfield and we have a guy who has already got double figures up front, we're taking something if not everything imo.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 You can tell from the strange appearance of the John Souttar stories today - linking him with Stoke, Blackburn, and amazingly a cut price January transfer to Rangers - that they’re worried about us. Having said that results never go as you expect them so 10-12 points would be a very decent outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Rob Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The key fixture for me is St Johnstone. We haven’t beaten them in Perth in the league since about 2009. If we can win there, I might start thinking we could be the real deal. I can accept losing to Ran2ers at Ibrox as long as we have a go at them. Everyone knows that if you go there to defend you will lose. If you have a pop at them, you might get something. What is there to lose?

Bazzas right boot Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Rangers-pumped be 2-0 after about 25 minutes. We'll be happy with a 3 goal margin. Dundee - win, 4-1 St Johnstone - win, close tho. Aberdeen - win, 3-0. Glass gets the boot after that. Utd- shock defeat, 3-2, a game were we miss loads and they score freaky goals.
