Well done Hearts. Thought Forrest put in max effort, played very well. Vargas' goal was very smoothly done.

That's a proper good away win that.

 

Against a stuffy physical Livi side on a plastic pitch.

 

Well done Hearts.

 

Makes me really annoyed about the ridiculous Rangers penalty at ibrox which robbed us and then also the no pen given against county on forrest as it could have been even better for us.

 

SFA dont like us.

 

Great result before the Winter Break.

 

Aberdeen are our clear rivals for 3rd and have three games in hand, but we have points on the board.

 

Must hang on to Shankland.

Much better second half, Vargas and Forrest standouts for me.

3 points on a horrible pitch, delighted...

Shanks - he knows every time he hits a goal, total instinct, you see it on the replay every time.

7 wins and 4 defeats AWAY from home - 21 points amassed

 

It's actually our home form that's lacking - 4 wins,3 draws, 3 defeats - 15 points amassed.

 

Who'd have thunk it????

Such an odd state of affairs. Our away form is so pleasing, and our home form is infuriating.

A lot of people said Haring was finished but his physicality and passing range came in very handy today. Looks like Vargas and Forrest are shutting up the boo boys too.

It wasn't pretty but a win's a win, especially on that pitch. Favourable results elsewhere and we're going into the winter break 5 points clear with a game in hand. I'll take that.

Thought Denholm was one of the better players v county.cant get why he doesn't get a start today 

Was targeted against Hibs.

And against County.

 

Boys a good player brings energy and balls to the midfield,can see he wants it.

 

We need to use this break,to learn how to press properly.

 

And I think a formation change would help too.

Good result. Glad we won't need to play Livi away again this season.

Unless we draw them in the cup :sob:

Martindale shook the  hand of every Hearts player at full time despite being gutted.  Class act.

We are in a tremendous position for 3rd given our run over the last few weeks and the other's all cutting each other's throats. Wins v Dundee and Aberdeen at home and the former away (our next 3 league matches), once we recommence would push us further clear considering the other fixtures eg Hibs v Rangers, St Mirren v Rangers, Killie v Hibs, Aberdeen v Celtic and Rangers v Aberdeen, are all in that period.

Think Haring has just played himself back into the team for the foreseeable. 

 

Nieuwenhoff isn't a player I'm enjoying watching, hopefully we can get someone in ready to play every week - worth remembering he's only 22, so time very much on his side.

Their pitch is without doubt a leveller, so to me any win at Livingston is a good win.

 

Well done Hearts, well deserved.

Decent win. Decent 2nd half. Vargas, Forrest showed well.  Haring did not let us down and for first game in 3.5 mths.

Clark played his part. Kingsley worked his socks off. Toby Sibbick is not a RB or RWB.

League table looks great.

Back 3 killing us all game.

 

Any time we got width we caused problems 433 or 4231 for me.

 

Well done Toby,Forrest, Denholm.

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!

Terrible first half, much much better the next 30 minutes or so, then finger nail time. As others have said, great cameo from Denholm at the end

Great 3 points again but would like to see us starting dominating these teams a bit more. Didn't feel like we had the control of the game but good 3 points and move on.

Great result. Good to go into the winter shutdown with a win.

 

Table looking good.

 

Three very winnable fixtures at the end of the month to come back to in the cup and league.

I noticed that aswell and gave Vargas head a wee rub. Him and SN spent a bit of time chatting at FT also.

Well done Hearts, great result. Some of thd other results weren't too shabby either.

Better result than performance, but that pitch isn’t one for silky football.

 

Hugely disjointed performance for the first 30 minutes, and not for the first time in recent matches. But two very good goals in the second half.

 

Impressed by Vargas today. He might do even better if our upfield hoofs out of defence weren’t so often over-hit.

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.

What a weird concept after years of away misery. Big shout out to Forrest and Vargas thought both done well today and another magic finish from Shanks

I know if only we had good home form at the same time

It's seriously weird. I cannot remember the last time this happened. The football is far from silky but we have some resilience about us these days, a necessary attribute for success on the road. It's a results business!

Important 3 points and a potential banana skin avoided. I am pleased for Forrest too who was my MOTM he has been decent for the last few games. Constant energy and running from him and 2 assists to cap a good display.
