Hard to see us winning this one with the form we are in currently but Hearts have also struggled at home against poorer opposition than us. Id happily take a point. Not so sure we will get it though, unless the officials decide to throw us an unlikely bone!

Maybe time to give Jordan McGhee a start at right back. SOD has had a good season but his best position is undoubtedly now at CB. Maybe needs rotating with Paul McGinn. Hopefully Priestman will get a start over Sparrow, who I think is a squad player at best. Lets hope Thor is fit and JT is moved back to his favoured position on the wing. Maybe too, Elijah Just will have recovered from his global jaunts.

More of the same won't do.

I like Priestman, but I dont think he can play the Slattery role. He could however play the Fadinger role and maybe push Lukas forward?

Another option would be Nicholson, who I thought looked sharp yesterday when he came on. Similarly, McGhee looked very comfortable at right back yesterday.

Good to have some options. We should use them to keep the squad fresh and give the opposition a different question to answer.

Id be interested to find out what the issue was with Eythor as he was definitely in the training pics during the week. I know folk have their doubts about his quality, but big Henderson was getting away with murder yesterday and needed bodied!

I think Nicholson is the most similar to Slattery but probably only good for 45 mins or an hour. I’d be tempted to play Oscar and push Fadinger or Watt forward a bit and bring Nicholson on for secomd half or last 30 mins. 
  We’ve been playing JT as striker and I don’t think that’s working. Perhaps play more like we did against Celtic at Fir park or else Said to bench and Thor at striker with JT playing off him.

We’ve been garbage for the past four games and shat the bed in both cups, so I can’t see us bucking that trend against the league leaders away from home.

1-4. 

Garbage is what we watched last season, ok we’ve been poor the last couple of games - mainly due to not adapting to teams pushing up on us and some slack passing - but garbage? Think you need to get a bit of perspective mate.

In the context of how good we’ve been in the league this season, one point from the last 12 is garbage.
