Looking forward to Wednesday, don’t think Hibs were much better than is in the last game🤣

They dont help themselves that lot. Team talk done.

[WhileTheChief..]

They’ve got the same players and manager as last time out when we were warned that they’d be right up for it, kick us off the park and put us back in our place.

Didn’t work out to well for them then and it won’t on Wednesday.

We’re better than them all over the park and will generally piss all over them and get the three points.

Then we’ll knock them out the cup again.

With that I wonder if we will see Barker dropped for Marv with a MF of SJM, Dylan and Marv with Boyle, Stokes and Shaw up top??

Boyle's pace will also be crucial IMHO and I really do hope when we get them we take our chances

I think Barker would need to drop out. Unfortunately the tattie field at Tynie doesn’t allow you to play football and we need to set up like the cup tie last year.

There only hope is that joke of a pitch. Heard they've planted tatties so they will have something to lift at the end of the season.( old ones are the best )
Right down the front of the Roseburn for this one. Cannot wait.

Levein shat it in '86. Actual factual.

[Not In The Know]

They are obsessed. Just about every headline in the evening news in the last week is about them commenting on - 1. They will catch us. 2. They will beat us. 3. They wil out fight us. They didn’t even mention St Johnstone before they played them.

They had 1 shot on target yesterday. Normal service has resumed.

I reckon Levein was born in a science lab, he has been genetically engineered to be the most humourless, classless, bitter, and miserable wet blanket of a guy the world has ever seen.

No one likes him. Not even his own fans. He is the ultimate prick.

Central FiferI thought. Doesn't require much more explanation.....

Hearts need to win this one and they all know that.

And he’ll do the same on Wednesday. He knows avoiding defeat will keep the mutants in the stand from turning on him.

[Phil MaGlass]

Absolutely no way will this end up 0-0, I wont predict the score in this one as most of the time ahm wrong. 0-0, it wont be

Unlike previous years, he has to deal with a hibs who don’t have a soft underbelly.

We'll still need to wear gumshields.

Yes, gumshields and long studs all round. Incidentally, why does Berra use a gumshield? Is it because he might be up for a corner and go for the ball at the same as Lafferty.

In the context of the derby, yesterday's games were huge. Their confidence will have come down a notch or two having not been able to perform anywhere close to the same level as they did for the Celtic game, whereas we got back to winning ways, which is a nice wee confidence boost.

As for Levein's comments, they are a very poor attempt at mind games. He knows fine well they were outplayed in the last derby and were lucky to only lose by 1. The players know it and so do their fans, many of whom acknowledged we were by far the better side. He's a fool if he really thinks his players will be tricked into thinking they were/are almost as good as us, especially as he has said more than once they are lacking quality. Everyone knows it's nearly time for their bi-annual clearout and for the likes of Djoum to start touting for a move. Him and Walker won't want to risk an injury this close to January.

Levein and the Jambos were made for each other.

They will be rightly confident given the last few results, and that they are now unbeaten in 7.

Levein has made them tough to beat, and its pretty clear that they are not the shambles that rocked up at Easter Road a few months back.

They have little in the way of flair, however, especially in the the midfield - it says a lot when their most creative midfielder is a 16 yo and hes now banned for wednesday.

In general I am not particularly worried about Hearts, but not as confident about winning as I was last time out.

Our biggest "problem" might actually be more obvious now that Cochrane is out - I can see Hearts completely missing out their midfield and shelling monster balls from Berra etc into our box looking for Lafferty knock downs - and despite getting the result yesterday, we are really not convincing defending crosses.

The only way we can stop that is by controlling the midfield and limiting their chances. I think we need SJM, Dylan, Bartley in there to take control, and if that means we sacrifice a winger then so be it.

In summary?

I have a ticket and am really excited about this one, a win would be fantastic.

However, we dont convert enough of our chances, and they concede little at the back - a neutral would reasonably look at this and say it could be a boring 0-0.

Completely agree

I feel sorry for Levein. He wakes up every morning and will remember he is Craig Levein. A man who won no medals as a player and hid in the toilet in the hour when his club needed him most. He has won no honours as a manager and not only failed as an international manager but is remembered for being a coward in his approach in at least one game. He spent a couple of years hiding from the front line whilst still working a couple of puppets from the back thus shielding him from the worst of the abuse. Coward. Now he's back on the front line and deflecting away from his own well known shortcomings.

If I was Craig Levein I'd definitely be bitter as well. Life has dealt him a pretty crap hand.

Agree every word, except the feeling sorry for him bit. He killed the pleasure I used to get from watching Scotland and it's never really recovered.

If we avoid defeat on Wednesday, they will not have had a victory over us for 3 whole calender years.

17/08/14... It's already been over 3 calendar years

Edit: just realised what you meant lol

Did he really mention us 😂😂 what a ****in specimen.

To be fair to Potter he was asked about his thoughts on the upcoming derby. But he sounded so bitter it made me smile.

Levein had Hibs sussed for years. I hope Lennon has done his homework.

Not really - in his 1st spell in charge, he just had accesss to better players bought with 'Other People's Money' !. This time around for Levein, it's a level playing-field and we're on this unbeaten run against them - coincidence ?? - not really !
