Jambo in Bathgate Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Watching them last night I couldn’t see one player I would be interested in playing for Hearts. Cove tired visibly in extra time last night. Tired legs cost them getting to penalties. Ross has left them with quite a few duds. Watching Maloney on the touch line you could see the relief when they scored. It was written all over his face ‘What the …k have I done coming here’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by last nights performance they are going to badly miss Boyle. Their freefall down the league table is going to be an absolute delight to watch.

Yup he wont trouser every penny, he's clearly shown hes happy to spend on players both moderate fees and we're hearing big wages. Its all very speculate to accumulate it would appear rather than building an actual team or balanced squad (like us!). All totally disconnected from board to recruitment to coach it feels.

Doig was being hailed as being brilliant earlier. His performances though show him to be bang average. The same with Porteous. Ron’s there to make money. Buy cheap and sell on. He’ll be mightily encouraged by the fee he got for Boyle. Only a small amount of the money will be reinvested though. The rest will be trousered one way or the other.

Draw or Well win best. Don't want Maloney getting any kind of momentum, basically. Not worries about them, but it'd be best if they stayed in their box. Motherwell, we have them at home this weekend, so even if they gain a couple of points on us tonight (not that I rule out a win for us), we rectify it ourselves. And I just don't see them maintaining a great run or whatever to catch us anyway. No matter what, tonight we get one of our remaining OF games out the way. So even if we lose a bit of our gap, it's all relative to the fixture list really. In 4 games time that's us done with both Arse cheeks until the split plus I think have Aberdeen and Hibs (and Well tonight) still to come at Tynie, pre-split. We're in a very strong position increase or maintain our gap and be all but out of sight by game 33. I don't see this group losing focus either.

We just need to keep them at bay. Anything undefeated in our games v Hibs and Motherwell, in cold light of day is us coming out unschathed. The OF games* any points a bonus, and as long as we do better than our rivals against them, it's OK. So a point across those 2 games wouldn't be terrible either. 3 points in 4 games would feel shit, but in actual fact wouldn't be bad.

Next season, I want to be thinking, "right, they're the rivals now, need to beat them". Plus if we do beat Celtic, it's 6 points and we can start to think silly things!

So many permutations, i love this season so much. If we can repeat/improve on results mid way, we are destined for European adventures. I believe we are mid way through the redevelopment of the football side of club. First team squad is boosted , with signings to come. The Academy is finally being over hauled, placing us in a better spot than we have been in years. All the distractions of failures incomplete plans seem to be behind us, this is where the real action is and where our foundations are stronger. They are travelling a very fragile path, are years away from Us as far as setting up their club. We have a steady sound footing, looking to improve our status. All things are there in place, we have to go for it as a side and make sure we get the attention for the right reasons. Being hard to beat with a threat up front, we can steal that limelight right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just causes a bit of unnecessary negativity. Not that I'd be content in any way with defeat to them.
