Bongo 1874 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Unbeaten in 11 and into the quarter-finals Hearts,3rd in the league at a canter catch us if you can scum. Honestly playing some of the best football I've seen in years,every game feels like we are scoring atleast 2 goals. This is the value for money i told you older guys deserve,you pay hard cash you deserve good football. And Naisy and staff are giving us it. Hearts 4-0 Well. Players should be buzzing for this game.

Hansel Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Motherwell have a tough run of games. Pitoddrie Tynecastle then celtic at home. Then Livi away never straight forward either. Their league form has improved a lot but hopefully we'll have too much for them. Halliday won't be able to play i assume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Got to be at it from the get go here and I'm sure we will be. Get an early goal like yesterday and we will have to much for them I feel. We will be buzzing to get out there again and a really good opportunity to get another 3 points on the board. I don't think we are too far away from sealing 3rd place but would be good to keep the run going for a few more weeks. Not sure how we will set up here, maybe Atkinson for Dexter, he leaves us far too open defensively IMO and all the threat first half yesterday came down his side. Grant of Fraser? Tait must be close to getting a first start as well, he's been absolutely tremendous every game he has played so far, just playing the simple ball is so under rated at times but he does it with a tempo and always forward. Shankland will be bursting to get to 30 goals, no reason why he won't get there the form he is in. Another couple on Saturday would be magic from him.

jamboozy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) We have a deep enough squad to see us through the congested times of the season now. The evidence shows us there is a strong cohesion throughout the whole squad . The only bit that concerns me is the defence, Kettlewell will have been watching last night and will be looking to exploit the uncertainty we showed in small glimpses during the game . I will go for 2-1 Shanks & Kenny 👍 Edited February 12 by jamboozy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkb Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Whisper it softly but Naisy is edging towards Burley stats as a Hearts manager but with a much lower budget and class of player.

Funny you don't really see these terms used so much anymore 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I am wary of the Andy Halliday revenge goal in this game. But even if he gets one we should still have enough to win this game.

Jack Torrance Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Kettlewell will be desperate to win, following the absolute dogs abuse he took last night from the young team. 😆 That said, some of the comments on the Pie and Bovril match thread from their Morton game suggest Hearts will be sending two keepers to Germany, following Kelly's performance for them. Hopefully his form continues. 3-0 Hearts. On a side note, I saw one of their fans mention on that thread that Morton manager Doug Imrie, shat himself at high school.

sac Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Think wee Vargas could be an important player now till the end of the season. Looks like he’s settling in if (goal celebration Sunday) is anything to go by. pace to burn as well. Like to see him running in on goal more, has quick feet decent control and a tough wee guy.

pettigrewsstylist Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Tough gig. Home performance back under spotlight. Should have enough to squeeze it and keep momentum into hard run.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 They prefer to play football, but like a bit of the clog in there too. Referee is Chris Graham, who booked 7 of ours at Sheep, then did similar to Dundee at Tynecastle a few weeks back, probably a good ref to get playing them. We will create chances and win a decent game 3-1 perhaps. Cant be there this week, shame, think it will be a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were missing Slattery against Morton, I think, and their midfield were poor collectively in that match. They do have a couple of younger players who look useful however (Devine and another whose name eludes me). They’ve got something to prove after the Cappielow result so I’d anticipate a spirited performance from them. That said, we’re better man-for-man and if we match their efforts, we’ll come out on top.

Chimp Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 What we thinking at the back for Sat? I'd like to see - Atkinson Kent Kingsley Cochrane Dexter has been ok but slightly wobbly and not as effective as he was in his first couple of games and think Atkinson is a more rounded player. Rowles no reason other than he's been away for a month and Kingsley has done well slotting in at CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would replace Grant from Sun's 11 to make way for Rowles coming in. Think it will give a better balance/width to the LS, as Forrest often looks to drive in from the left. Grant was doing similar, which did give space for Cochrane but that was also in part to Airdrie's set up and can't see Motherwell doing the same. Although usually highlights unless playing us so could be way off but from what I've seen, Motherwell look have been playing more through the centre of the park, rather than down wings so another reason to help stretch them.
