Each game is now a nerve jangler till we can hopefully assure at least 10th place.

Hoping that Hibs can beat Dundee tomorrow. We need all the help we can get.

Clean sheet. Positive 😃

I agree. I think some of the posts are a wee bit negative and I can understand that but I thought there was a bit more effort from the team but very little football and we need both.

Looked like we were just told to knock it forward but then we didn’t have players moving up to support or win second balls. Totally missed out the midfield today. we are still not playing as a team up and down the field.

Yep! You can’t win if you have zero shots on target. 😡 not that we were playing defensively, we just created SFA.

With Saints in the lead Hearts may try to push forward and maybe leave gaps for us to exploit. I know! It’s hopeful!!! 😃 but then we need County to equalize if we can score.

Still up for grabs. Not much in it either way.

All the players are too tense. Can’t control the ball

FFS terrible defence from us. Lucky not punished

As long as we get 3 points, I think it’s a good day for us. I’ll take a crappy lucky undeserved victory over a gallant defeat. I am, course, hoping for a top 6 place so that we can relax and not worry about play off/relegation.

That could be our new motto ”Dolorem et cladem”

That’s a decent shout but probably not going to happen. It definitely makes us look more mobile and a better selection to play a high pressing game with all 4 of those players up front capable of scoring.

Yep! I’m all for starting Maswanhise. If it’s the good one that turns up then we are good to go. If it’s the clumsy one then we can hook him at HT

Dammit

I’m hoping Gordon is available for this. I’d probably risk playing him even if he’s not quite 100%

Another Tom Hateley? 😃

Did they end up playing with 9 men? Defender seemed to injur himself landing but didn’t see any sub come on? I’m assuming had already used all subs

I think that’s the key. We go all out and sub when players start to get tired and don’t wait too long to sub.

I think we need to put Maswanhise up front with Armstrong and press higher up the field. Having said that I don’t know if hearts have any players with speed that could hurt us on the break or with balls over the top. of course Maswanhise is a gamble. We’d just have to hope we get the “good” Maswanhise

I’m still not sure what they seen to merit a red card, other than a superb piece of acting from the Killie player.

Regardless of whether we get top 6 or not it’s a huge game for us. Obviously top 6 takes all the pressure off but If we end up in bottom 6 then getting 3 points will go a long way to helping us stay out of the play off spot. So we need to go for it and leave it all out on the field.

I’m with you Grizzly. COYW!!! we All know how we have been Playing recently but we also know that we have produced some good performances on occasion. We just need to hope we can do enough to win this game and fingers crossed St Mirren don’t win. Ox O’Donnell Gordon Casey Sparrow Miller Paton Slattery Thompson Maswanhise Armstrong

I hope Gordon is available for the game

My take was that he pulled his arm up to cushion the player coming in but the Killie player went down like he’s been hit by sniper fire. Basically Balmers arm hit him in the chest
