PapaShango Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 15 minutes ago, McCrae said: Why wouldn’t you play Snodgrass? Has to play and will. He played at Kilmarnock so don't think it had anything to do with the pitch at Livi, probably more that we had Rangers the following Wednesday. We have a 9 day gap between this and our next game, we must be putting out our best side to make sure we get into the next round. If we are well ahead or cruising we can then make some changes to freshen it up. Make no mistake Hamilton will be right up for this, it's a break from their league campaign and they will want to have a go at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Mikey Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Lovecraft said: Yeah, the majority of those games we have went behind early are either the OF or European teams. Just to muddy the waters, I'd suggest that it's possible to start fast, but poor; and also slow, but well. It kinda depends on who we're up against and how well we execute whatever the instructions were. In any case, I'm pretty sure that the Venn diagram wouldn't just be 2 bubbles representing 'slow start' and 'fast start' based solely on goals scored. Here's an extreme example of one of the above alternatives with quotes lifted from the BBC match day posts. I'd mark it as a 'fast start' against quality opponents that quickly went awry. I'd go as far as to say that it would be darn hard to get a quicker start, but we all know what tanspired:- (caveat, 99% of us there enjoyed the night and the entire visit regardless and, obviously, there was more to the game than this) The 1st is Robbie's pre-match answer to a typical Q and it gives some insight into why he changed the formation and also of the game-plan and mind-set:- Posted at 17:32 13 Oct 202217:32 13 Oct 2022 'How often do you get nights like this?' Fiorentina v Hearts (17:45) Hearts manager Robbie Neilson tells BBC Sportsound: “The guys we’re bringing in are very good players and they’re looking forward to representing the club in Europe and playing in a stadium like this, against a team like this. “We decided to make a couple of changes after the last few games to freshen up the team. Last week we didn't get up the park enough as we sat in a back five but today it’ll be a back four, we’ll have a bit more numbers up front to pressure and try to get us up the pitch. “Last week we lost a poor goal after four minutes which really knocked us so we want to pressure higher up the pitch tonight. “We’re really excited about the game tonight. Florence last night was absolutely rocking. How often do you get to play in a game like this against a Serie A team? First things first we want the boys to go out there and work their hardest.” The 2nd is the post at only 1 minute in:- 1 min HITS THE WOODWORK Fiorentina 0-0 Hearts Oh my! Hearts striker Stephen Humphrys rattles the post! It comes from a slack pass in midfield, and the visitors pounce. Humphrys' low shot from the edge of the box comes off the post, and Barrie McKay's follow up is straight at the goalkeeper. It seems to me that Fiorentina had a poor initial start with their slack pass and our tactics paying off ... but not for long! Like I said - extreme example.

portobellojambo1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Well, after waking up unexpectedly one night early November 2022 without knowing why I called an ambulancw the next morning and was told I'd had a heart attack. I thought that would involve a few days in hospital but each time I was allowed home something else cropped up, and eventually they established that an internal bleed was an off shoot of the operations/medicine involved and they still think I'm bleeding somewhere internally, which means I'm whipped into hospital for a blood transfusion plus recovery so for the lasr 3 months I'vw spwnt about 7 weeks in hospital. And this Friday, at New Douglas Park will be my first timr seeing HMFC livein an awful long time. Watched the game versus Rangers on pay per view, and was so disappointed by the way we approachedthe game and I hope on Friday we at least achieve the bear minimum, which is progress to the nexr round.

I'd put automatically getting into the European groups above winning the cup, considering the money that's involved. Obviously doing both would be preferred, but the last thing we want is an Aberdeen (for example) sneaking past Rangers to win it and also removing the European place from us into the bargain. The coefficient has dropped so this is the last year (for now) Scotland has an automatic group stage place for the team winning the cup/finishing 3rd. Let's get the cash, bring in some stars, and romp both cups next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
