Never is the mindset adopted going to be more important than the lead up to May the 19th. For some time now I have strongly believed that Hearts have held the upper hand over us regarding the approach taken to Derby games and how they will beat us- and to be honest its worked pretty well for them.
I have seen us almost mentally beaten by them during the warm up before a ball has been kicked.
As much as I agree that the final allows our players become the opportunity to become legends, I actually think that we should play more on the fact that this could be the Hearts team which fails and lets us break the hoodoo- the tables in my own opinion have to be turned back on them and let them live with this pressure.
You can do your bit in this, I have started at work today by informing any Jambo I know that they will watch a team that let us win the cup- I have been guilty of being to negative in the past- I am realistic about our teams limitations, but up until the 19th May my talk and thinking around this game will remain positive and upbeat- to use a well known saying from our neighbours - Believe!!
