DesertDawg Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 2 minutes ago, Tazio said: Now that Kilmarnock have said they are going back to a turf pitch Livi should follow suit. It gives the home team an advantage (not that it’s helped them this season) in terms of playing on a surface that the other teams rarely play on. You can see that the ball behaves differently on the bounce rolls differently to a grass pitch. All of those things amplified when the pitch is wet. I’d like to see the figures of how much that pitch actually makes them outside match days as that’s always quoted as one of the reasons for having it. Just watched Vargas’ shot again that went past the post before he scored Hearts TV from behind the ball on. The ball bounced and skidded outside the post. On grass, it would have caught the turf and gone inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronstheman Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It would have been brutal had we drew again, but we didn't and go into the winter break in a good place, after some outstanding away results . Love to see our new signings hit the ground running (assuming we do). Please let one be a top midfielder Anyway well done Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 3 away points on a shite pitch that we have struggled on before, opening a nice 5 point gap on 4th place with a game in hand. Brilliant result today.

Captain Scarlett Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 25 minutes ago, tiger Rudi said: For me it was Cochrane playing a bit wider and further forward that made a difference 2nd half. How many starts has Toby had? Need to accept he was rusty. Great display from Forrest. He's ahead of Oda every game for me. Disappointed Naisy thinks all we need is a rb and a forward. Midfield/10: definitely need an attack-minded player in there to freshen things up. Mentioned him loads before, but Dan Kemp's stats in League 2 are outstanding. Could he make the leap to this level? Probably, he's an England under 20 international and a product of West Ham. Yan Dhanda maybe a more proven target. Great win, another away win and sitting pretty in 3rd. We still need to improve though! Tony was rusty? No. He’s shite.

See when Rangers give away a foul around the crossable area do they report that ... that has ground my cogs that has ! This is from the match report! Despite that, Hearts continued to foul their hosts in crossable territory, but ultimately they held on for a seventh away win of the season - four more than they had in the entirety of last season, and three more than they've had at home.

Don't say Oda or Forrest, because neither of them are defenders, they might be OK going forward, but at this point in time Toby is our only right footed defensive option.
