Pete Elliott Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 And we wonder why some people refer to Hearts fans as entitled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaShango Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 3 league wins on the bounce for first time in nearly 2 years and folk want to change the management! Its not going to happen, whether we like it or not Naismith is here to try build something that isn't going to happen over night. As things stand we are 4th, had a cup semi final and in with a decent chance of being 3rd by the time we get to the winter break. Massive period for him and Hearts, but with some of the injured players coming back there is an opportunity to kick on. Big game at Killie next week, get 3 points and we will be in a very good place especially with Hibs playing the sheep, one or both will drop points. Those 2 sides are the threat for 3rd IMO.

Come March it’ll be us, Aberdeen and Hibs battling it out for 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I've said it for a long while, if you dont get the goal you want in the first 20 mins against these teams, it becomes a long process. Rather than abuse the manager you have to question our appalling % of chances taken. Several in the first 20 minutes, the St Johnstone recovery through the middle of the first half spooked us a bit, though we had recovered the hold on the game by half time, St Johnstone again started well 2nd half. Other teams will play decent football at times regardless of league position. Quite simply we take more chances these calls of boring will disappear as a game opens up, when you take your chances.

Use the model that the Scottish Rugby Union use and bring through our own talent like Pollock, Neilson, Denholm, Smith, Kirk and Sandilands (sure there's others). Push the boat out and bring in a few quality players in the remaining positions where we don't have our homegrown talent, who will bring these players on. It may be a difficult season or 2 but so what. It's time your doctor changed your medication I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAndy Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I think Beni summed it up on Saturday when he told everyone to calm the F down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not easy playing some of the teams at home when they camp 10 behind the ball and leave little space. These are the types of games we miss McKay who can thread a ball through no one else sees. But we need to be patient in them as inevitably we will create chances. If we score early or get the penalty its a different game and likely ends 2 or 3-0 as they have to open up. We need to stick with it IMO, I can see signs of improvement in the way we play and I think if we can get a couple of decent bodies in during January and not lose anyone of note we could hit the ground running after Xmas break especially if we can get Gordon and Halkett fit and playing, will be like a couple of new signings.

PTBCAL Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) If we don’t get anything Sat then our next points will be Xmas Eve. Our record against the OF and Sheep away is criminal Naismith may well be under huge pressure by then Edited November 27, 2023 by PTBCAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t posted in a while. Perhaps ask him why seeing as there is obviously a relationship of sorts? According to him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we are winning, it seems some posters can't wait for defeats to start the "OOT" patter again. We will get beat and we won't win every game, this cannot be news to folk.
