Hook Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) 1 hour ago, Dalry said: Would much rather have Forrest in than Vargas with Tait, Devlin and Hoff in the middle of midfield. Natty should never be playing and I hope Sibbick has a good game. We’ll see. Hopefully our fans turn up also and get behind the team. Totally agree on Atkinson, can be ok in spells going forward but massive liability defensively - Rangers and Hibs targeted him and suspect Celtic will do the same. Unfortunately, Sibbick is the same - too soft at the back and continual brain farts (it’s like he plays the game in slow motion) and is at risk of costing us in most games not only against the OF. Clearly hope I’m wrong but without Kent we could have a torrid time against them today. The midfield will need to step up and give us extra cover as well as looking to create opps which they didn’t do against Hibs.

Don’t disagree but with Atkinson struggling in the last couple he’d be third choice for me, put him on the bench and ease him back against easier opponents. Sibbick might be a bit better defensively than Lembikisa but one of them should get the start imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most confident is been since 2006 and we were pumped by 5 going on 10. Thankfully we are at Tynecastle but Celtic have a great incentive after the rangers result. I think Celtic win by 3 or 4 today unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't go, my 90 years old Mum has taken ill, I need to be with her. She will be fine. So will Heart Of Midlothian, 'Mon The Hearts !! Hope your Mum ok Danny. I can't go as my youngest broke his leg again on Tuesday. Twice in a year. Families eh. As to the game always live in hope v Tics but flooding midfield with 5 inc Hoff, Beni and Cammy and nicking something via Shanks is our best bet.

pettigrewsstylist Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Rumoure sound like it could be a big day for several of the squad to show and get some match minutes. If the game gets away from us I would be protecting key people needed to secure 3rd and progress at Morton as soon as practicable. e.g. the difference between 0-3 and 0-5 is irrelevant to me.

You just know that someone’s gonnae come on here and give it the “aye but the fans feed off the team’s performance” line but that’s just not the case. WE have to turn up in the stands. Our noise can inspire our players before a balls even been kicked. You’re right about Wednesday though, it was shite. As much as I hope the team turn up, we have to make sure we play our part too 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻 It’s Sunday. It’s 12 noon. Nae pubs. Nobody up for it .

Devlin, if he is fit (he’s not match fit though) is one of our best midfielders (his performance v Rosenberg was best performance by a Hearts player this season).

BackOfTheNet Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Back 3 like we did against Rangers will just create channels for Kyogo (or whoever) to find space to run in to and lose their man. Doesn’t bode well either that 2 out of our 3 CB’s have ball watching as a weakness. (I think Sibbick if a good CB, nothing like most make out on here, but to be thrown into a game like this and be expected to keep concentration levels above his normal standard will be asking a lot) Kingsley though is by far the worst ball watching defender at the club, so I’m not looking forward to today at all.
