***Official Heart of Midlothian v H1b5 Match Day Thread***

[MarkDevriesScores4]

Has Rocky played a game in preseason/premier cup/league this season that he’s not been booked in? 
 

i know he’s had 4 yellows minimum 

 

My favourite to get sent off on Sunday 

[maroonlegions]

Its just a matter of time on Sunday when we start to control the game, then when we do, there is only one outcome.

 

 

[PapaShango]

Got to start better than we did on Saturday, a first half like that could see them beat us on Sunday. I'm hoping we come out all guns blazing and go for them early doors. No cautious play, they are there for the taking. Got to start Grant, think him Forrest and McKay could have a field day with quick passing and movement in the final third, don't think Hibs have anyone who can deal with them if we play fast football on the deck. My worry is the ref lets them away with clogging us early doors. They clearly targeted McKay in the semi final by putting him up in the air and no doubt will do the same again.

I just hope that when Rocky is sent off one of ours doesn't have to get subbed because he's injured.

Likes to swing his elbows about scored Hibs goal with one and should have been sent off for assaulting a St Johnstone player with a nother ……….. just need the officials to pay closer attention 

[Pasquale for King]

Pick the right team, start fast and our quality should shine through, couple of early goals and pick them off from there, could be a memorable day..

I think so too ……… I am not normally as confident of a win for a derby that is not a must win but look at the forward players we have ………….. if our defence gets its shit in order we are winning no doubt about it

I think we missed Boyce on Saturday, he needs to be the link between midfield and attack. 

 

 

[Penrices left boot]

The last para. 

 

 

[One five]

1-3 Hearts 

[Debut 4]

Gordon. 
 

Smith.  Halkett.  Rowles. Cochrane. 
 

Devlin. Grant.  
 

Boyce
 

Forrest.  Shankland.  Mackay. 

[dav1e]

Don't think they'll be able to cope if we turn up.  0-4 Shankland brace.

[Head The Brick]

i would like to see a 4-2-3-1 

 

Craig Gordon

 

Michael Smith 

Craig Halkett

Kye Rowles

Alex Cochrane

 

Jorge Grant

Cameron Devlin

 

Alan Forrest

Liam Boyce

Barrie McKay

 

Lawrence Shankland

 

Went for Smith (experience and better defender) at right back as i reckon Atkinson could also cover the right wing position from the bench.

Haring on the bench would be a good option should he be needed as we will need Cammy's energy in the middle of the park and Jorge Grant has to start.

Get Boyce in behind Shankland with McKay and Forrest buzzing about either side of Boyce and have Jorge Grant supporting from deep.

 

Most likely be 343 though as that's what Robbie favours.

 

Either way lets just get these delusional tramps pumped.

 

5-1 the Famous

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gordiegords]

Must start quicker, same thing happened a few games against them last season and as crap as they are they always look more at it in the in the beginning anyway. My first trip to fester? Hhgh.

is  Kingsley definitely out ?

Hammy last week.

Hamstring. Reported to be out for 2-3 weeks the last I heard

Long season.  Correct decision for me.  Hubs are pap anyway.

Agreed. We have more than enough in the squad to wipe the floor with them without risking him. 

[cookieboy]

fair enough if it's his hamstring . Save him for the big games

Hamstring has no quick fix unfortunately, 2-3 weeks is not bad.

[Tom Hardy’s Dug]

Devlin is made for the derby - particularly with the bampots with no discipline in their team. 
 

I do think Grant deserves to keep his place as well.

 

I don’t think Haring played well at the weekend - he improved after half time but from a 0 to only around a 5. 
 

So my midfield two would be Devlin and Grant. 
 

I think the front 3 will get another start together.

 

I don’t know about the defence at all - I was worried about it in the pre-season games and last week didn’t make me feel much better.

Soap, mouth, your, out, with, wash.

 

Please re-arrange 👆 into a well known phrase. 😆

 

What's wrong with the customary 6-3 (or, in this case 3-6) prediction? Mind you, as much as I can imagine us sticking 6 past them, I cannae see H1b5 scoring more than a consolation.  😉

 

Remember this game? Total scenes in the away end. I'd forgotten about their #13 having a blatent stamp but well remember the ironic cheer from the Hearts support at their consolation goal. Watch this to the end and you can't fail to spot their empty stands. I predict a similar fire drill on Sunday.

 

Also; decent pen from Clare, a superb strike from Bosanic, and a cool finish from Washington.

 

The post-match squeeze over the 'Bridge of Doom' was a total joy that day.

 

 

 

Ps ... my spare ticket has been snapped up. 

[Callumr51]

Any fans from Belfast on here? I’ll be there this weekend and looking for somewhere to watch the game 

[OTT]

Not really a big fan of the derby being so soon. I think Johnson will set up defensively and it will be a cagey game. I don't want to see us drop points this early, so hopefully we can soldier through and get the win. I think man for man we have a better team.

Couldn't help but notice a lot of empty seats there, long before the fire drill.
