At some point our 20 odd shots on goal are going to start coming to fruition... hopefully this weekend. By the time we play that lot, we'll be firing on all - pair that with the fact we no longer fear the derbies, I reckon we could give them a doing. They're *****. At the end of the day, Potter had them from Thursday last week, all he's done is tell them to play non football and hoof. They've had the new manager upturn, I'm sure of it.

Yeah, I think he went a bit Cathroesque at the end there.

I really hope so but it feels like we've been saying that for about three years now.

One thing's for sure, and that is the Yams will not put in another totally gutless performance like the one when Hibs beat them 3-1 (going on 6-1) at ER recently.
Hibs will need to be right up for a battle, and need I say it, they simply have to put the ball in the net when the chances arrive. We certainly will not be able to give them a goal of a start either.

I think people are maybe under-estimating Hearts. They have some pretty decent players and with Levein's industrial style football, as they showed against Aberdeen, they're gonna be an awkward prospect.
I'd feel a lot more confident if we get our ratio of chances to goals sorted out before we play them.

Levein is no mug, and knows how to organise a team - the intensity of the Hearts performance was like and night and day compared to when Cathro was there. This Hearts team won't be rolled over easily like they were last season.
Of course we have many good players and we can definitely hurt them - but Levein's derby record shouldn't be ignored.

We've scored 9 goals in 5 games. I know it should have been more, but it's a decent return. Hearts have scored 3 goals, I think they've got far more to worry about on the goal scoring front.
United we stand here....

Jambos seem to think the boy from Raith had a good debut - even that he will "deal with" big Marv, I have my doubts.
From the highlights on Sportscene, they played quite well in a "cup tie" kind of way, clearly designed to blow the sheep away.
However it shouldnt be ignored that Berra pulled Rooney back and it was as clear a pen and red card as you will see. That happens, its a different match.
All I want when we play them is a half decent ref.

I would imagine that's only for their home stadium and wouldn't apply to Murrayfield.
The pitch at Murrayfield is longer than Tynecastle and they didn't (actually couldn't) change that.

Play with width v Hearts and we'll win, their full backs are simply awful.

Really believe we'll absolutely destroy them. I'm going for 4-1 Hibs only giving them a goal because we like to give teams a fighting chance with the first goal.

Our created chances that we don't take is a problem, we seem to think the next one will go in so we don't make sure?
With the Yams its the same although on Saturday they could easily have scored 3 goals, Aberdeen's goalkeeper made some excellent saves, and all of them on target, which we seem to miss the target when we get our chances.
It could be quite an open game, but if we take the chances we create we should be OK!!!!

That is the position in England and clubs are not allowed to change dimensions mid season without prior permission. Seems to be allowed in Scotland, though.
Seem to remember that Alloa narrowed the pitch last year when The Ringers visited.
