Decent ish fist 15 . Need to take our chances 

Much improved start on the last couple of games. The fucking Sparrow needs to stop flying south every time he gets the ball though.

[MJC]

Aaand there it is

One of the central defenders needs to be attacking the ball - again far too easy . 

[Prestwickwell]

Such a shit goal 

zero pressure on the cross, longelo just passive 

free kick given away from our kick off 😂

need to respond 

[Orinoco]

Goal against run of play. But theres the difference they have guys up front who can score.

Longelo switches off and allowed Braga free header.

Quite a few of our players are not switched on for quick plays and its cost us again.

[ppower]

Injury plagued Hearts look comfortable once they git to grips with the conditions. We look like a beaten team already. We still look like 11 individuals no matter what the manager says. We are abysmal.

[Scarecrow]

Another shocker of a goal lost. 

So fking easy. 

 

[MJC]

We are so indisciplined and poorly coached we can’t even do the basics like close down crosses and pick passes.

[Orinoco]

Poulsen needs to stop launching it. 

McGhee running around lost.

There's FAR worse than McGhee out there at the moment.

 

[wellsince75]

Been trying to watch Hodge to see what he offers on left of midfield - not much and not really sure how he manages to both get a game nor does he get subbed very often 

I know this may be an odd suggestion but think we were stronger with Wilson left back and longelo further up 

[Prestwickwell]

Think we’ve reacted alright to going behind

not convinced we look like we’ll score but here’s hoping 

[ppower]

Lose this and its 6 loses in a row. Have to go back to 2003 for when that last happened. Stat from Premier Sport. I honestly don't think any manager can survive that. If we lose he is toast.

Like the manager clutching at straws. But  it's as good as any formation Alfredson puts out 

[wellsince75]

We need to make some changes at half time . 
 

id take of Hodge and Maswanhise - neither adding value and the latter is a complete waste of a jersey 

 

push thors through middle with palmer and said either side of him

[Richie]

Back to launching throws up the line.

Think our double 6 have been ok and there has been a bit more movement into pockets by McGhee.

Sparrow continually turning and playing backeards is frustrating.

Not too bad a half, but no pressure on the cross and Longelo daydreaming.

Need more up top.

Said has been fine, but there's nothing running off him.

 

[texanwellfan]

Nah! I think he’s got to Christmas at least

I wouldnt put a bet on that if i were you

[Mad Dog]

Thought we were playing quite well. Braga wasn't Longelo's man, who should have been marking hin?

I had hoped we'd ditched that experiment. Last time he played there he was totally ineffective.

Another disappointing 45mins

Think McGhee is doing ok and Said has been fine. We are struggling at the back though. That goal we lost was poor, how can a 6ft 3 player like longelo shrink to the size of 5ft 5 for a cross into the box. Not just him though the others are poor and I’m now struggling to watch Sparrow, his distribution is appalling and the continued check back is driving me mental.

Hearts don’t look up to much either. If we can salvage a draw from this I’d rip your arm off.

I thought hes looked good

[Orinoco]

We have passed the ball around well enough if perhaps abit safe. Defence switches off and we lose goal. Longelo has always been poor defensively. He should be further up the park with a left back behind him.

JT is offering nothing again.

Doesn’t matter if he’s longelo’s man

he’s ran off him in an area where longelos switched off & should have reacted 

[texanwellfan]

I started watching just before hearts scored. We haven’t looked too bad, plus seeing the HT highlights, we’ve suffered from our usual defensive lapse plus powder puff up front.
