If he was great at all the rest of it too (which he sometimes is to be fair to him), he wouldn't be at Hearts. I think as long as he's scoring he needs to play, the Simms lad looked decent and will definitely add something, but I think we would miss Boyce's goals without him in the team. Quote

gregzy2k7 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 This one is a 6 pointer and a must win, if we have any ambition of finishing 3rd. The players will want to put tonight out of their minds and I am predicting a routine 3-1 Win for the Hearts. Quote
jamboozy Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Same level of support as last night and weβll be fine, I go 3-1 , Ellis, Kingsley free kick and Bazza to grab his 1st. Quote
SomethingAboutObua Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Gutted I'm missing this one, think we'll hammer them but after a slow start. If Moore can replace Halkett and dominate van Veen for their hoofball their game's done. Simms to score his first goal as well I think.Β Β 5-0, no goals for McKay thoughΒ Quote

3fingersreid Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 A win will be a huge step towards finishing 3rd . Get the 4 at the back out the window , if it has to be Souttar, Haring and Kingsley so be it but get Cochrane and Natty used as wing backs ,Β Quote

BigStein Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Any news on Smith, Halkett and Moore? Β Think we can still just about get away with a back three if we go Souttar-Haring-Kingsley. Maybe a 4-3-3 could work as well Quote

Head The Brick Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Would love to see a 4312 formation with Boyce and Simms up top and McKay with a free role in behind them.

Β Get two up top, match there 3 in the centre of the park and our better quality level of player will take care of the rest.

OTT Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 I think we need to stick to the 3 at the back, but our recent signing kind of suggests 2 up top might be worth considering.
