I thought it looked more like a few pudding suppers got to him!! I may be a bit harsh, maybe he buffed up but it looked to me like he put on a few pounds. Either way I think he can be a good player for us next season. He has some good foot skills and just needs coaching and encouragement on wing back play.
Definitely need to get a win in that first game to steady the ship. Whilst a defeat or a draw doesn’t condemn us to the play off spot it would erode confidence and press the panic button. I’m also hoping Hearts beat Dundee in that first round of fixtures.
We have two weeks to get players healthy and prepare for this game.
what’s that you say? “We don’t play well after a break”. AWE FUK!! 🙁
When do the fixtures get published so we can spend hours fretting over the various scenarios as to how soon we can be safe or how quickly we can make the play off spot our own?
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.
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.
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’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.
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
