We expect to go and win and its crap when we even draw never mind lose however they celebrate draws with laps of honour so Stevo has a point. What worries me more is the clown in charge who has previous open season kick a hearts player and i ll do nothing. I think they’ll play Stevenson in midfield on Sunday to do exactly what he’s doing there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I reckon Grant, Boyce and Shankland will all start Part of the reason some players were kept safe was because Bob thought we'd deal with Ross County without a few players. He's also held something back, Hibs won't know Grant very well or how Boyce and Shankland will work together. Coaches and managers will look at a run of games and adapt or change things for various reasons. Fans have tunnel vision and think only of the next game or the first 15 minutes of the next game.

Lewis Stevenson and Demetri Mitchell are both out with hamstring problems, while long-term injury victims Aiden McGeady, Kevin Nisbet and Kyle Magennis are still sidelined by their respective knee issues.

FTH mon the JTs Agree with the sentiment AJ but I don’t think we are that team by nature. (As in intense pressing, primed to run our legs off). I don’t expect us to hammer Hibs at all, beat them, yes, but im yet to see a proper potency in this Hearts team that naturally transitions defence to attack almost seamlessly that it gives opposition the fear.

All saying no Sibbick and attack and get about Hibs from the get go. Tend to agree but Robbies defensive tactics are the worry at Fester Road. I think we will scunner them myself.

FTH mon the JTs You’re never going to get ‘full on attack’ from the start with Robbie Neilson. You might see it at some stage during the game but we just don’t do it from the start. I imagine we’ll go 3-4-3 and with Kingsley probably not making it that means Sibbick plays unless he puts Neilson in. The decisions he has to make is RWB between Atkinson and Smith The midfield 2 could be any combination of Devlin, Haring, Halliday and Grant. Happy with any combination there.

Bazzas right boot Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 If Kingsley isn't 100% then bin him for sun. It's not worth risking 1 game for the next 3 months, he's a massive player but if he misses hibs then fair enough. I'd rather have him for the next 20 games. Big Loss but not worth risking.

We don’t have the players to go 3 if he’s not fit. Smith right back please. Natty on the bench and if we are by any chance behind he can come on and we change shape. I reckon Halliday will start with Haring in the middle with Maybe Grant / Boyce as the 10 and shankland up top.

(or be better at it) Indeed we do. 😁 Seriously, though; to me it looks like, for last season, that we were most productive in the 1st 10 mins and the 10 mins spanning the end of the 1st half and the beginning of the 2nd half. The rest of the time? Pretty consistant other than minutes 11 to 20. I'm guessing that that's when the game 'settles down' for a bit. Anyhoo, I was merely countering the notion that we don't start off on the front foot. Robbie disnae dae that, ye ken? The more certain folks claim that to be true, the more it becomes a 'fact', whereas in reality it's nonsense. It's kinda like the overall notion held by many that Hearts under Robbie are too defensive. How come we score so many goals then, eh? It must screw up some people's brains trying to figure it out. Ach, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics. That, for sure, is a fact! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you enlighten us please? Are you including cup games? Up until February we’d only scored in the opening 10 mins in 5 league matches. I think people mean in nature of performance from the start. We’ve always got the players there that can do something in the moment and that’s more proven when we actually settle down and begin to turn the screw more. Again, I’m not really huge on stats and going to pick Hearts up on it. The early parts of matches tend to be tight and maybe you see less goals in general than other periods? People just become uneasy at regular, cagey starts. 👍🏻 Edited August 6, 2022 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
