Game management? What do you think Jens got wrong today?

Correct. A perfect summary of where we currently are.

Much as we have had plaudits for football this season we have not yet won a league game and it took us extra time to beat championship side. I'm concerned about goalkeeper, defending and also game management after this. A team should be able to see out a 3 . 0 lead with 25 minutes to go.

Keep the heid folks. It was a very good result. A very tough start to the new campaign and we're unbeaten in 3. Forget about losing 3 late goals; we were always going to concede and Hearts fully deserved their point, as did we. Yes, disappointing to lose 3 but thats football. The big plus for me is that we played Hearts today with over a week of the window to go. It would be far worse to have recorded this result next Saturday. Hopefully, we'll look back on today in 6 months time and say it was a very positive result. JBA has now seen our defence at its worst and should know by now that he has to strengthen the defence and whats more has over a week to do it. He will already have been looking at defenders and Hearts comeback today should crystallise and galvanise his thoughts. All this, and we played some really entertaining football.

It’s night and day. We actually look like we want to play football and win games instead of conceding possession and hoping to nick something from a set piece. There are promising signs, no question about that. However, we bottled it today. We’re bad enough with 2-0 leads usually but today we get a third and we still don’t win. I’m sorry but to me that’s bottling it. That said, there are encouraging signs going forward and I’m not as disheartened as I would normally be at us conceding a 3-0 lead to only draw.

we scored three, but if we are honest Maswanhise appart from his goal and AP were poor. Its disappointing not to get three points from the position we were in, but its still early days, and we did not get beat again.

Great first 60 minutes. Thought SODs had a very good game and Watt, Slattery and Fadinger all excellent again, but Just was the difference maker. He commits defenders into making mistakes and opens thjngs up for us. Top performance.

Again ox becoming better by not playing...he had a few moments last year too

It makes no difference if he should starting or not , but for an experienced player to do that not once but twice is very poor in my opinion.

I thought the opposite RE Hendry. Think he may be the missing link we're looking for up front. Good touch, strong and looked like he was well up for it. Osong- Didn’t do a whole lot, but it's early days. Thought stama was poor again today. Can't hold the ball up, too lightweight!

There ye are now! 😍😍😍

Yep, 1 definitely maybe 2 , pity as he has been ok so far surely that's bslmer finished tho , trying to play offside for 2nd and then no challenge

See if you had just stopped your post there...... It wasnt a bottle job. It was naive tactically from the manager and a mixture of tiredness, poor discipline and bad decision making from the players. Also, we may not have won a league game yet, but we are also undefeated against 3 of the better teams in the league at 2 of the harder venues. For the first 60 minutes thats as good as Ive seen us play in a long long time. The 3rd goal is an absolute thing of beauty. For a brand new team and manager its always going to be a work in progress at this stage. Today IS a sore one because of the circumsrances and we DO need to learn from the mistakes we are making, but how enjoyable is it to watch compared to last year?

A huge setback and no getting away from but that but certainly not a disaster either. A point at Tynecastle is always a good result when the dust settles. We just need that first win on the board.

I’ll take that disappointment today and forget about it if we go out and blow Killie and Kettlewell away next week.

Yup , there is no excuse for throwing away 3pts with 25 to play. I can imagine JB raging with them. A setback today but we dust ourselves down ahead of next week

Personal view is we dominated via midfield for 60 mins and were coasting. Hearts bulked up in midfield and we withdrew Slattery and put on forward players. I thought Hearts dominated us for the final 30 and honestly could have won, which would have been even more gutting. I don't think it's all down to the defence or keeper, we didn't react well to their subs and made formational changes and poor subs that for me lost our way completely . The joys of being a Well fan.

Mcginn has been a solid player for us but there's no way we should have been starting this season with him as a first choice.

No arguments there and again we have shown some really promising stuff, the type of which was never evident under our previous three managers. You can see what JBA is doing and he is building a competitive team which we need to hope comes good, but as I said we need to make that count by turning draws into wins. It’s early days though still. To take a step back, looking at our opening fixtures…Rangers(H), St.Mirren and Heats(A) to come through that unbeaten is commendable. However as I said context is important with draws and I’m afraid 3-0 up with 20 to go and end up hanging on for a point isn’t good enough. Next week at home against Kilmarnock is crucial, we NEED to pick up all three points.

We were different class for an hour then took our foot of the gas when we scored the 3rd then couldn't get going again.the defence has been solid the first couple of games but we still have too many from last season that aren't good enough,there's some real positives to take from today but also we need to learn from the mistakes and quick.

Thank goodness someone can see McGinn was mainly at fault for the second standing with hand in the air claiming offside when he was the man playing him onside, the same thing happened again later in the match.

Absolutely disappointing to be 3-0 up and draw in those circumstances On a positive note still unbeaten in league and cup, if we beat Kettlewell's Killie next weekend all will be forgotten by me

Just was brilliant again, looks like being a fantastic buy. i did think many others did great for an hour and then we caved collectively. I Didn’t see anything in Hendry or Osong when they came on which was disappointing

Really not sure how to feel about that. Would have bit your hand off for a point before kick off, but 3-0 up the game should be done! Jens is going to have to think about where the balance lies between playing our football and making sure we take home the 3 points. Think we lost the midfield when Slattery came off and Spittal came on. Totally understand taking him off on a yellow card with the lead we had, but hindsight would suggest that is a mistake. Poor defending for the first allowing the overload back post and poor keeping for the second (through his legs) and the 3rd (palming it out). Still a work in progress and we kinda knew this is how our "style" couldl pan out, but still a sore one in the end.

If the game had continued we'd have lost. That fourth was coming sooner rather than later.
