Playing like shitebags and rolling over to rangers

After watching them back, both goals were ridiculously bad from our POV. I was also at the game, the shite view means it's hard to see what's going on 😅. 

 

I wasn't going to go to this game, wish I hadn't now tbh. 

 

I'm quite pessimistic generally so I suppose the advantage is that I had low expectations to start with!

 

The last three games against Rangers at Hampden have been a similar story in terms of us hardly laying a glove on them in an attacking sense. At least today the build up play was a bit better, but until we carry more of an attacking threat from midfield it's very difficult to see us seriously troubling them.

This is where I'm at. Gave them a game but a genuine lack of quality in certain areas is our undoing. 

Defending from Kingsley, Rowles and Atkinson poor at 1st. Tait loses it at 2nd.

Compare Grant's performance to that of Cantwell. One anonymous the other affecting play at every opportunity. Compare Beni to Lundstram, same thing.

Up front, we have Forrest, Oda and Vargas all making the wrong decisions in good areas of the pitch. 

I think Dhanda, Spittal and a fit Hoff will make such a difference next season making runs thru the middle. Asking questions that the present midfield just can't do. 

We need an upgrade for Forrest. A great engine but nowt else at this level. 

A sitting midfielder who is fit and can dictate play in a 4.1.3.2 would make such a difference to us. Freeing more creative players up to do their thing.

We currently have two playing in that role, neither really had a positive impact today.

Actually getting a result against rangers starts with defending. We had a quality back 4 of Smith Souttar Halkett Kingsley which took rangers to extra time (and wrongly got slaughtered for what was actually a very creditable defensive performance) and that has now gone backwards to the laughable Atkinson,  Kent, also laughable Rowles and Kingsley/Cochrane, collectively gifting away dross goals like today. There’s been a clear regression in the defensive department.

Today’s performance- Soon to be repeated in final game of the season.

Yes - I agree that defensively the 2022 performance was actually very good whereas we conceded an absolutely dreadful goal within the first few minutes today. The problem that day was you were expecting us to get a chance in the last 20 minutes of the game to win it and it just never happened. Today I thought our build up play was better, but ultimately there was very little end product. Apart from the save from Oda in the last few minutes their keeper had very little to do.

100% mate, the only way we might scrape a draw is if the league is over and they rest most of their team for the Cup final.

Aberdeen set the standard aye? **** me. We have some absolute morons in our support. 😂

Yeah i get that but for me it's specifically Rangers that our players and indeed our club seem to have a problem/mental block with? We just always seem to shit the bed and lose to them at every given opportunity, barring the odd miracle win that only comes along around once every decade, it's getting to the point now that our record against them is so laughably bad, That we are to Rangers what Hibs are to us, i.e an irrelevance. I'm starting to think their is actually a hoodoo,

 

How the feck can we exist for 150 years and not beat that club at Hampden? 

 

It's rotten.

We only played them there for the first time in 1930, so only 15 games in 94 years. 
An awful record as you say, and I don’t think it will change with Rangers sympathisers all over the club. I would actually prefer a SD and manager who weren’t touched by the uglies, the current incumbents have yet to prove they can choose the players and use them properly to beat Rangers.

Another shit day out at Hampden .

Insipid performance.

We looked lost.

Shit.

Your memory is playing tricks on you, we played with a back 5 where Cochrane and Atkinson were the wingbacks and Kingsley was left of Halkett and Souttar. They ripped us apart down the wings but we had enough men in the middle to cope, but they dominated us.

We are a very comfortable third in the SPL but I really think we need, as fans, to understand we are not that great. Now of you look at a team that are fighting relegation who recently beat that shower you can see in terms of player input we are below the expected level of a team in the position we are in. The team is at times lifeless, just no drive at all. We need a couple of fast and inventive mids and up front to give us that spark.

What's your thoughts on being competitive with the worst Rangers team I've seen in 50+ years of supporting Hearts ?  We just got bossed by two guys from Sheffield United & Norwich City. 

Get rid of sixteen palyers ? Clearly not affordable.  But there's at least 8 that can leave tomorrow.

Our team is making great progress and if we continue on this path we will get more competitive against the big 2 . This is a 5 year+ project. First step is to be the team that is third or better every year.

[sac]

We lost, we lick our wounds, and move on. Improving our finances thus improving the quality of player we bring in in the future will help but the gulf in finances between us and the OF plus our corrupt GFA and officials makes it an impossible task.

The weegie cabal run the shitshow organisation here and the only time our game would get noticed anywhere outside Scotland would be if we or another were to win the title.

That will never be allowed to happen.

It just wears you down that it doesn’t matter how badly the Huns play they always manage to beat us. They can be on shocking form, have poorer players than usual and we just crumble every time with slow starts, unforced errors and poor decision making the current ways we’ve found to lose against them.

yup, Grant is from the same mould unfortunately. 

[Hashimoto]

It's been a recurring situation all season. We start the game far too slow and take ages to get into gear.

The fear was we would concede a goal early and that's exactly what happened, on the back foot again!

We just never learn. The signs were there against Livvy in the first 20 minutes, but we eventually got away with it.

The result was fairly predictable in the end. Some of our players are just not up to the job of competing in these big matches. 

Time to move them on

Many folk posting on this thread, the only football they see over a weekend is by watching the Match of the Day highlights, then the chance of a semi final ticket comes up and they travel through, get pissed on 2 pints, and stand shouting absolute dross for 75 minutes, they stop at 75 as some folk aroound them wire into them and they shit the bed, what then happens is they come home and post on JKB about how shite we seemingly are.

We are still in the early stages of our transformation as a football club and team. This is a journey and it’s not realistic to expect us to be at the final destination so soon. The gap between us and the old firm is reducing, we need to carry on narrowing his gap. Progress is clear, but it is a multi season project.

I've not looked at the jambos kickback ratings, but if Devlin is getting pass marks in a midfield that was non existent, that tells you all you need to know about who is doing the ratings. 

Devlin did well - yes actually - given that Beni is still too slow and not suited to physical challenges and Grant was totally anonymous.  Also got no backing from his other team mates.
