That's mushroom eating mental.

Scored in our last 18 league games, pretty confident we'll score at Tynecastle also. Problem is that with our defence at the moment we'll definitely also concede.

Hoping we can get at least a draw but expecting a defeat... 2-1 Hearts.

Think their usual left back is suspended for this one so Shady Mo could get plenty of joy if he does start

[Tord31]

who is the sub LB? Kingsley?

There's a difference between numbers and atmosphere.

Correct, the atmosphere would be better if the team were playing better.

I thought the atmosphere in our end was shite last night.  And in the ground as a whole obviously, with the around 5k Hibs fans there sitting on their hands.

I wouldn’t be starting Morris especially if devlin is injured for the game 

[Geoff_Tipps]

Providing we get in their faces and press aggressively from the offset, I think we'll be ok.

No doubting the past two results have been a real disappointment, but perspective definitely needed.

As excellent as Morris was last night, he's yet to prove that he's a 90 minute player. Same with Keskinen. 

So the question remains, do we use Morris at the beginning of the game or as an impact sub ? 

For me, he's better off terrifying left backs later in the game. So that leaves us with little option but to start Keskinen, who was pretty gash last night.

If Devlin is out, that leaves us with a massive headache, because he is undoubtedly one of our main attacking threats. Milne is a midfielder turned centre half turned right back, and he most definitely doesn't have the same pace or ability going forward as Devlin. 

I suspect that we're going to have to move away from Plan A for the first time this season, and slip into a more traditional 4-4-2 with Keskinen playing closer to Milne and offering more defensive cover.

We were brilliant for a twenty minute spell against Hibs.  

                      Clarkson 

Morris.           Duk.           Mcgrath 

I'd be surprised if Jimmy doesn't start with that at Tynecsastle given the difference it made. 

Clarkson included not so much on merit but balance of the side.

Beyond that front four I think for stability you just stick with same defence and midfield.  

Hopefully Devlin makes it if not Milne.

I agree in principle, but the worrying fact is that in 13 league games we've only had 2 clean sheets.....and, our defence is starting to look more vulnerable as the weeks go by.

I'm not sure that anyone really believes that we won't concede on Sunday. Having to score at least 2 goals in every game is giving us mountains to climb.

Same. 

McGrath right wing if Devlin is out. Keskinen left.

Was horrendous.. considering we are 2nd.

Heard fuck all fans on tv last night was like a morgue

I’d be playing McGrath right and duk left. Palaversa and shinnie in midfield with either nilsen or clarkson with them

Morris of the bench. 

[Hoppy]

Jimmy does the business in the trainings by trainings this week.

We win this one 3-1 and the juggernaut starts picking up momentum again.

                             Mitov
Devlin/Milne   Ruby   Molloy   Mackenzie
                   Shinnie   Palaversa
      Keskinen**   McGrath       Duk
                             Sokler

** Morris off the bench in the second half to tear the Hearts LB to shreds.

Can only say fans here seem more up for this than any recent Aberdeen game I can remember. The sense Aberdeen are mouthy. Gloating at us. Ahead of themselves.

All leading to a desire to smash the legs from under you and your so called league title push.

So a bit wounded animal with this one.

Whether that transfers to our players. Don't know.

On the other side could do without the euro journey this week.

Of course you guys will be up for it coming off the back of a few heavy defeats and bottom of the league.

Crixtley under pressure yet?

Total opposite.

He's trying to play a tune with the players he inherited. And performances are a lot better. And effort.

Even with losses nobody is blaming Critchley.

He just needs a few more players in that suit his style.

An underwhelming appointment but all reports are he's a great coach. And his humble but assured manner has won fans over. 

Need Shankland to start scoring though.

Your fellow fans still a bunch of narrow minded sad cunts with no perspective then?

Wait the now, the team that he inherited?, that’s the team that before the season started was all conquering and easily the 3rd best force IYO ?, you can’t have it both ways. Fucking lol

I recall being told that none of our players would get in their first 11. 
 

……that is now in a relegation dog fight.

Doubt Shinnie will be dropped, more likely Nilsen.
