Hansel Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 At home in the league we've been fantastic this season (apart from vs the uglies) But It'd be nice to sort out our away form and start picking up more points on the road. We could be miles ahead of 4th. A win tomorrow would be a massive 3 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then bring on some game changers Aye, how bout we start with a solid formation then change it once we grow into the game, if he's so intent on dominating the ball with his 343 or 532.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 This is not the Goodwin Aberdeen and we need to be wary of that but we really should be coming home with the three points tucked away safely. Our away form doesn't fill me with confidence though and I can see this finishing one each if we put in a half hearted display. Come on Hearts we are better than them so go out and show it!

Just another example, not a comment really aimed at you, of misrepresenting what was being said. So many people so touchy and defensive at any perceived slight! Against non-OF teams we’ve been brilliant at home, have won an exceptional points tally of 31 from 33. Away we’ve been largely crap both results and performances. I think these comments are fairly factual. There is reasonable concern from some, (not a view I actually agree with as I think we will win another 4 games at Tynie which will be enough) that our away form is so bad it could see us caught in 3rd. Tomorrow is a big game in respect to how close things may get or otherwise. At least over Aberdeen it could be easy street, or for some, panic stations! No reason not to be able to voice both positives about our home form and the opposite about our away without trying to use one to justify the other.

League positions are determined on the whole season not 2023 calendar year and our away form for the season to date has been very poor, no point trying to sugarcoat it. So, if we barely have 2 CHs fit does that not make it even more daft playing a system that requires playing 3 of them?!

Time for Hearts to show their mettle, let’s move up a wee half level and look to be more ruthless in our nature approaching these games, which have now more importance on them as the games wind down. As ever, you’ll have some playing it down as if embarrassed to put more expectancy on the team. 3 points tomorrow would sicken both Aberdeen and Hibs. A chance to dent any hopes they had of momentum in trying to catch us. Thing is, it’s not just the players you need but they need that attitude bred in from the background.
