i8hibsh Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 They will score obviously so we will need to score 2 or more. This is usually not a problem v United however so 3 1 Hearts. Off the top of my head we scored 12 v them last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) 37 minutes ago, Barack said: Hearts to win & Shankland to score @ 3/1. Sorely tempted. Think I'll pass though, as I seem to jinx it everytime I bet on us. Rowles hopefully plays & that should give us even more solidity. We need to start denting the GD to a more positive number. Hearts to win though. Unless Aberdeen & St. Johnstone do something miraculous... then we're back. Clear in 3rd. So it ever was. Aberdeen have St Mirren at the weekend, beating them would keep them 3rd even if they lose to Rangers tonight. Albeit, we'd then have a game in hand.

martoon Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Good feeling about this one. We hit the ground running after the World Cup break and United are still on theirs. 1-3 Hearts. Shanks is a cert to score at least one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAndy Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I like the idea of Shankland and Ginnelly up front as they were set on Saturday. Think this could cause them lots of trouble. 2-1 hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I have to say, these "official" threads are getting worse. Not enough '*' and the first line of the OP should always be the date of the game, the kick-off time and the venue. Just as it used to be. Pwopa! Get it sorted oot! That said, 3 points for the Jambo's and no messing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diadora Van Basten Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Chance to go third with a big Hearts support travelling up there. From past experience this usually means a poor performance and either a draw or a defeat. It would be good if we could get a win (any win would do) and that would give us momentum for the trip to in form St Johnstone on 27th in what is now a 6 pointer.

This is usually not a problem v United however so 3 1 Hearts. Off the top of my head we scored 12 v them last season. Not sure how obvious that is with Halkett, Rowles, Kingsley, Cochrane and Gordon all playing now. Doesn't mean we'll def keep a clean sheet, but I heard Robbie say Halks, Rowles and Kingsley have had 24 minutes on the park together this season. They're 3 of the best defenders in Scotland and that includes the OF. We'll be just fine in defence. This is a game we should be winning. Never know how a game will go, but we turn up, we win. Get at them, play at pace, we'll break them. Gordon Halks Rowles Kingsley Natty Dev Snoddy Cochrane Gino <> Shanks Bazz Gotta be happy with that. Solid, plenty threat, plenty control. Got experience, legs, bit of bite to it too. Also capable of being clinical, which is my only concern. Bazza and a couple of others could do with chipping in a couple more goals, including the defenders. Maybe a Kingsley Christmas cracker!

Uncle Buck Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Gordon Halkett Kingsley Rowles Smith Devlin Snodgrass Cochrane Ginnelly Shankland McKay Dundee Utd are the worst team in the league imo.

Bazzas right boot Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 We seem to score enough v them but are also a bit rusty at the back. Utd may actually be a bit more pragmatic and defensive this time, could be tough. 6-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don’t think there’s much to argue about the first XI for this game, perhaps the right back is a coin toss. _______________Gordon ______Halkett__Rowles__Kingsley Atkinson__Devlin__Snodgrass__Cochrane ___Ginnelly__Shankland__McKay as long as they don’t have any pace out wide to turn Halkett I imagine we’ll keep a clean sheet. It would be nice for Forrest or Humphrys to come on and make an impact. I actually think we have a good squad when everyone is fit with plenty of bench options but obviously I would never say no to a couple of quality additions. I’ll go for 3-0 Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I’d like to think the first half v Killie was by design and an indication of the focus we’ve found during the break. Slicker play, midfield looking brisk and influential. Away games are just naturally tougher but it shouldn’t really mean we change the way we want to play. If we get in front and look comfy, we need to start dealing better with the reaction from the opposition. We were stuck in cruise control as Killie launched an attempted fight back.

Bazzas right boot Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 St Johnstone are at Celtic so can't see them sneaking into 3rd at the weekend. Livi are at hibs, could probably do with a draw as they're still hanging about like a bad smell as well and maybe more of a threat than hibs. St mirren are close as well, maybe a draw v Aberdeen suits us more. It's all very tight, a good chance a win v utd will put us 3rd tho.

You order then pay what you’ve ordered. Can do anything from a month to a year. No VPN needed and works perfectly. You get all sky sports channels, BT Sport and all the games you would want from around Europe.

Captain Sausage Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Results have gone our way over the last week. Would be great to exploit that and jump to third by the year end.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The old cliche, there are no easy games, this season I think its true. Anyone could go down in truth, St Johnstone looked a strong favourite, yet are challenging for third. Should be easy enough for managers now to get their teams up for every game. At least away from home teams tend not to sit in, should be 2 enjoyable games, now the farmers have a bit of freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
