***Official Rosenborg v Heart of Midlothian Match Thread***

[tartofmidlothian]

Massive test of where we are. I'm going 1-1.

[OTT]

Be interesting to see what the team will be, that first half was awful BUT when we actually got on our summer signings we suddenly looked like we knew what we were doing. 

 

Difficult thing for me is managing Kingsley, think he was looking sore at around the 60 minute mark. Team wise, I'd like to see:

 

Zander

Atkinson Kent Rowles Kingsley

Haring Devlin

Oda Shankland Forrest

Kagawa

Kingsley was very good today. I suppose given the midweek match it's better to rest him when he's got a chance but Cochrane may come back to league football and find himself on the bench for a bit.

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

Nothing to fear. I predict an 0-0.

Would swop Forrest for Lowry and thats about it 

In fact, can we register Lowry or not ?

Is this on TV. Not on Hearts TV 😬

Will he be allowed to play? Not sure if that "cup ties" him if the rangers recall him and want to play him in Europe. 

[Bazzas right boot]

6-3 Hearts.

 

 

[liam11]

Pressure is on them to get the job done with the home advantage.

This team conceding 4 goals against Crusaders surely means there is chances there for us

[number-16]

If Crusaders can score four across two legs, surely we can manage that in one...

Cant see Kingsley playing  Thursday/Sunday,  pretty sure Alex will start,  probably freshen up a few other positions aswell.

[WDJ87]

They're not having a great season so far. Defo shouldn't fear them. Tight first leg and I think we would turn them over at Tynecastle 🤞

Was gutted to hear that said on Hearts TV. Hopefully BBC will cover our ties in the same way they covered Hibs (prob have to cover us both).

Put Cochrane in for Kingsley

[Mikey1874]

If we start like we did today, we could be in trouble.

 

Tough one so early in season before best team is confirmed. A bold selection brings in Tagawa at least. 

[Marvin]

Just bought my ticket for the home leg.

Looks like BBC isn’t covering game. Just mentioned Rangers home game nothing else.

He's our player for now so if we want to play him on thursday we'll do so regardless of what they think.

The only time they can tell us when he does or doesn't play is vs Rangers.

 

The loan is agreed for one full season andthe January recall option can only be triggered if Rangers feel he is not getting enough playing time.

 

[We_are_the_Hearts]

Were Lowry and Tagawa registered in time?

You need to say it to yourself many times, so that overwrites the error, Tagawa 😁

 

If you do it out loud, don't do it in public, or you'll get funny looks

[Rick Sanchez]

I'll say the exact same as I said last season against Zurich. Keep it to a 1 goal deficit at worst and we'll turn it around at home.

 

And I'm certain we would have but for a Jorge Grant dive

[Captain Canada]

I think we're capable of winning both legs with the attacking options we have.

 

They've scored 21 league goals in 17 games and let in 24. They're also playing away tomorrow, so will have less time to prepare for the first leg than us.

I seem to remember it can be often late in the day it's announced if it's on TV. I'm not giving up hope someone will show it. Especially if you look at the random qualifiers TNT are showing.

Weren't the Hibs matches announced a day or two before?

I'd expect so, as both participated today, and the deadline was midnight last night.

[Uncle Buck]

                      Clark

   Atkinson Kent Rowles Kingsley

             Haring Nieuwenhof 

           Oda Shankland Lowry

                    Tagawa

 

I think we’ll get a draw in Norway and murder them at Tynecastle.

I don’t think he’s fully correct. We have named an A list, presumably yesterday. We can now make 2 changes to that list up until Wednesday night. We also presume that Lowry and Tagawa were included in our A list, so the only addition we might need to make would be Vargas if he’s full cleared and registered in time

[Jeff]

Think a 1 goal defeat is the worst possible outcome.

 

Think we beat them at home comfortably

You would hope for some kind of tv coverage. The first leg of the Hibs game looked like it was being streamed from the home club feed onto iplayer. Surely they could do something like that

Think they done similar for the away leg to Zurich but might choose the Hibs leg at home over ours

Aye probably. Hibs game on BBC Scotland and us on I Player they could do. Imagine one of the ugly sisters playing Europe and it not being on telly! Would never happen. National broadcaster my arse!

Surely Hibs wouldn’t allow that as the crowd would be even smaller, they did last week though.

I think they can recall him for any reason, as Burnley did with Jimmy Dunne or we did with Tony Watt.

Agreed but Cochrane in for Kingsley who will break down if we play him too much this month.

Anybody selling flights let me know! Back to around £357 but they where half that price before Crusaders game finished 🤣

Brutal; drug-dealer mentality, I'm sure

     Oda     Shankland      Lowry

                   Tagawa

 

Don't know if Cochrane's ban carries over into Europe or just the league?

 

If he is suspended it's Kingsley left back and Rowles in.

 

Their top goalscorer and main striker is Ole Saeter, 1m 94cm. Stick Kent on him and I'd trust Kingsley in the air over Rowles.

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Sure you will pick up a stream off a Norwegian channel. 

 

Viaplay or Premier used to be good for these until they spunked the budget

Someone sort out a boozer in Trondheim for Wednesday onwards please!
