Ray Winstone Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 When was the last time we could say that? Not scraped or scrambled but comfortable with four goals thrown in for good measure. Clum - fantastic today, what a confidence boost last week must have been and another 2 goals to add to his tally. Kevin Kyle - first goal for the club, well taken penalty and caused Hamilton no end of problems when he came on. Ruben - silly boy but the team showed a professionalism that I have not seen in a long time, particularly after going a man down. Defence - the jury is still out, Hamilton had no quality in their team today and I still think they looked a bit shakey at times, I suppose only time will tell. Still you can't take anything away from the performance today, brilliant. Jim Jefferies has the team organised like we have not seen since the Burley days (I am not for a minute suggesting we have as good a team but if the basics are there then we will win matches)! Absolutely delighted - well done Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely delighted - well done Hearts. I was going to start a similar thread. It's all very well for the media to focus on how bad Hamilton were, but how long is it since we buried one of the weaker teams in this way?

Coco Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Very encouraging today. Not really a bad performance though Palazuelos should go to the back of the queue for midfield places now. Well taken goals with some lovely strikes. And it was great to see the team working really hard for each other. The continual harrying and pressing of the Hamilton players meant that they made mistakes. Hamilton look like certain relegation battle fodder. Guess that is what happens when your best players are sold each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micole Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 You can only play whats put out against you,how many times in the past has Hearts struggled against a sh*t team especially away from home.

linkin- hearts Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I noticed the commentator still had to have a dig at us for our "discipline". They just hate to see Hearts doing well at any time:yucky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 sheets Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 It was silly first yellow Ruben got for kicking ball away, i thought all in all the pundits were fair and positive towards Hearts today precisely the thing JJ was trying to stamp out when he was talking in the papers earlier in the week. Id expect ruben to be on the sidelines for a while after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Yep Hamilton were shockingly bad but that said we set up in a style that put pressure on them to make the mistakes ,we harried and rushed the weaker Hamilton players which was spot on tactically, some of our own attacking play was top drawer . there has been plenty of games over the last few years where we have played just as bad an opposition and failed to punish them . A good day and a good win Building confidence for the tougher games to come . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Home or away this is the manner in which Hearts should play or attempt to play all the time in the spl. Nothing to fear. Be positive, believe in your ability and fight for the cause and never stop until the last whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'm pissed off, nothing to moan about!!! Well, with the possible exception of Ruben but I'm not that sure we'll miss him. How stupid can you be? Two competitors for your place coming back from suspension in the next game, you're playing in a game where your team are well in control and you go and get yourself ordered off. It may have been the only way the team was going to change next week barring injuries. D'oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that is what happens when your best players are sold each year. Totally agree witht the bit in bold and i thihnk that it's important that two of our most maligned players, Suso and Clum, take a lot of credit for that. Both worked their socks off. Whole team put in a great shift and a fantastic performance into the bargain. 'Mon the JyTees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Lecter Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 What a difference it makes when players have a bit of confidence about them. The difference from last season was like night and day. Really looking forward to see how this season pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
