Not sure where the negativity comes from No wins in our last 12 visits there and some keystone cops defending in our last coupe of games might allow a sliver of negativity to creep in like? Call me crazy Would love to be wrong and I’ll be an absolute cunt to every Jambo I ken if we win but I’m not confident at all tbh 3 Link to comment
Parklife Posted Thursday at 09:11 PM Share Posted Thursday at 09:11 PM Mind that day where McGinn and Goodwillie ran riot and we humped these cunts? A similar showing is coming on Sunday. Shady Mo terrorising the poor loser left back they've got & Sokler bullying their centre backs. 1 2 Link to comment

I'd say about 70%. Probably more for midweek games. I recall us only having about 250 to 400 away fans in the 70s. Hats off to the central belt dons. 👍 Wise up 😂 Link to comment

They were unlucky at Ibrox and are a better team than the Hibs one we played the other night. We'll need to play well to get a result they are always well up for it against us at Tynecastle.

Hoppy Posted Friday at 07:55 AM Share Posted Friday at 07:55 AM 11 hours ago, Shinniesta said: Think we'll likely lose on Sunday. Hoping we can sneak it but it's just not a ground we do well at we have a terrible record there just like Hearts when they go to Pittodrie. The fixture has been a virtual home banker for years now and our defending is giving me the fear at the moment. 2-1 Hearts. This fixation on how we’ve played there in the past is bizarre. Irrelevant! We didn’t have Jimmy managing the team back then. Link to comment

Some grounds are just always historically tough places for us to go regardless of who the manager is. And as I said one of the reasons I think we are likely to lose is just how poor defensively we have been in the last few games maybe some people are ignoring that. Link to comment

C'monEweReds Posted Friday at 09:04 AM Share Posted Friday at 09:04 AM Record at Tyne castle is terrible so I'm never really confident when it comes to this fixture. BTTS with no draw is what my money will be on. We'll score but our CB's are too shaky not to let in a couple. Link to comment

A win would be a huge result for us tbh. I hope we've had 3 or 4 solid days of working on defending crosses and corners at Cormack Park. Link to comment
Schapenneuker Posted Friday at 09:53 AM Share Posted Friday at 09:53 AM Hearts see us (correctly) as a big game and put 20% more intensity into it than they do against Ross County or Dundee. The problem is, rarely do we match that intensity. There's part of me convinced that we'll learn from our mistakes and that we'll get right in their faces from the beginning, but there's probably a bigger part of me worried that we'll be passive, allow them too much of the ball, and turn into a bit of a shambles once they go a goal up (Shankland will score).

I see we have a better manager than we have had in years with a better team. They are a poor team that do nothing with the ball when they have it. I see them having more possession but us catching them with speed, last night they played a poor team and still lost, their defence is wide open if you catch them on the break. If devlin is fit I’d play mitov, milne, Rubi, Malloy, Mackenzie, palaversa, shinnie, topi, McGrath, duk and devlin Link to comment

Yeh, the central defence is a big issue. And sadly they’re the best two available. Even the fat hun will fancy himself against them. Link to comment

GeorgeStreetReds Posted Friday at 10:24 AM Share Posted Friday at 10:24 AM Quite amazing that Shankland went from: 23/24 - 31 goals in 47 games 24/25 - 1 goal in 20 games (so far) Link to comment
