In any case, too many draws won't get us very far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by what's happened this century*, 76 points would see us comfortably in at least 3rd place. On 9 occasions we'd actually have finished 2nd (+ another going to goal difference). The absence and relative weakness of Rangers for a few years explains some of this, obviously - but interesting that we ourselves finished 2nd in 2006 with just 74 points. * Completed seasons only!

Cut The Crap Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Saint Jambo said: Do you really think that we've played in any game to avoid defeat? There was certainly no evidence of it on Saturday or against Hibs. We were holding on a bit against Aberdeen after they equalised but that was more about them improving than us settling for the draw I would say. After so many crap years from Hearts, it is weird that so many fans want to find negatives in anything. No one is arguing that we shouldn't want to beat Dundee at home, but there really is nothing wrong with enjoying the fact we are unbeaten and in second place after 10 games. I think some people have forgotten football is meant to be about enjoyment. I totally agree we’ve generally been on the front foot. The only point I was trying to make is that the “unbeaten” tag can become a bit of a distraction and can lead to situations where you might protect a point rather than go all out for all three.

Turkishcap Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 How many teams have topped the table by only winning half their games? After 4 yes but 10, cant happen often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough "killing us" is a strong term, perhaps "frustrating us" would have been more apt? I'm over the moon that we're second tbh 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
