Pains me to say it but they've done very well since relegation. Unless they're doing a Hamilton and just getting off to a flier before falling away, I can see them comfortably in the top 6 this season.

I notice they have changed their shape tonight and seem to have good strength in depth and balance to their team.
Another season that they have prepared well for.

Might be infuriating but their style of play means lots of goals. And for those who question the penalty ratio, take a look at the way Walker, Nicolson, King, etc are encouraged to drive into the area - thus forcing errors, tackles, defenders backing off. Soem you get some you don't but they make ref's think and they force a decision to be made.
Hibs on the other hand are dithery and square in the final third, often relying on the wingbacks (or crosses) who often fail on the delivery of the final ball.
Maybe if we had players who had the belief, drive and confidence to take the early part of games by the scruff, drive into the box, we would get the 'luck' that in my opinion Hearts earn - they deserve to be where they are. Their style of play, over a season, wins more games than they will ever lose and they can mix things up far better than Hibs. On a one off game we are more than a match - over a season we wouldn't come close.
One key thing they have - their young players know their jobs well and stick to their task. Ours quite often don't (in my view) - you see progress with them, with Alex, Sam and to an extent Danny, you see stagnating youth.........very sad and that for me is due to the mindset of the player, not Hibs. Our lads need to quickly develop swagger and arrogance. They look like they would physically and mentally collapse when the pressure is on - football is unforgiving and if the penny doesn't drop soon with them they will be journeymen before they have even hit 25.

I agree with some of your points, especially those about wing backs poor delivery of crosses into the box, often failing to beat the first defender, and a failure / reluctance of players to drive into the box whilst in possession of the ball and forcing defenders to make a challenge.
The other observation I would make is that Craig Thomson doesn't seem to have to think for very long before awarding his favourites a penalty.

Spot on. While it pains me to say it we need to get real. You earn your luck. We lack confidence and self belief- they have it in abundance. It was not always thus up to around 1978 it was us that had the swagger. But True hibernian you are right- we play nice stuff but lack pace and drive, they are no better but more direct and confident.

Whatever the reason, they've been outperforming us for years. On the brink of going out of existence just over a year ago, they're about to win their third game back in the SPL; this after running away with the league last season. We simply have to get our act together.

David Wotherspoon could be classed as a journeyman player and Harris, Handling and Stanton are nowhere near his level.

Ignore that hearts may have Max points after 6 games. We need to send a spy to Riccarton to see what they are doing right, or interrogate Keatings for clues. On a more extreme level. Punt Stubbys and get an ex jambo player as manager as they seem to be capable of managing at a higher level than Stubbys can achieve.

Lack of use means it isn't really cost effective, so have moved the family section in to the East stand
Apparently there is building work going to be done over the course of the season, with office buildings etc being put in there somewhere (no idea I didn't pay attention when people were talking about it)
The section of seats that has been removed to fill in the seats that were damaged a few years ago by the Celtic fans, and since been used to replace seats damaged by the ball still needs replaced as well

Whilst I am reluctant to say it, the position might be the same if it was ICT who were top after three such is the meeja's shock that its not celtc, especially in the week when the all seeing football guru john "look at me" Collins has been pronouncing on Scottish football.
PS thanks for allowing me a wee wry dig Killie :aok:

Lack of use means it isn't really cost effective, so have moved the family section in to the East stand
Apparently there is building work going to be done over the course of the season, with office buildings etc being put in there somewhere (no idea I didn't pay attention when people were talking about it)
The section of seats that has been removed to fill in the seats that were damaged a few years ago by the Celtic fans, and since been used to replace seats damaged by the ball still needs replaced as well
yeh i thought it was closed due to the seats being covered with the advertising sheets.. Will it be open again in the future for a domestic match ??

I think it will be opened again at some stage but probably not this season.
But then again Rugby Park holds 18,128 when full, average attendance will be well below 5k so no need to other than it look a bit rubbish with the stand closed

Ignore that hearts may have Max points after 6 games. We need to send a spy to Riccarton to see what they are doing right, or interrogate Keatings for clues. On a more extreme level. Punt Stubbys and get an ex jambo player as manager as they seem to be capable of managing at a higher level than Stubbys can achieve.

Difficult to say, our chairman likes to talk about infrastructure a lot and certainly seems to enjoy his SFA blazer. Not to hot on ensuring we have a team on the pitch we can be proud of.
Really? Not heard our chairman talking about infrastructure for many moons. I believe the club is actually being run by a non chairman type woman now and I can't recall her ever talking about infrastructure. Maybe we are living a wee bit in the past, need to draw a line and move forward. This is what I think our board is trying to do. That also includes putting a decent team on the park.

Might be infuriating but their style of play means lots of goals. And for those who question the penalty ratio, take a look at the way Walker, Nicolson, King, etc are encouraged to drive into the area - thus forcing errors, tackles, defenders backing off. Soem you get some you don't but they make ref's think and they force a decision to be made.
Hibs on the other hand are dithery and square in the final third, often relying on the wingbacks (or crosses) who often fail on the delivery of the final ball.
Maybe if we had players who had the belief, drive and confidence to take the early part of games by the scruff, drive into the box, we would get the 'luck' that in my opinion Hearts earn - they deserve to be where they are. Their style of play, over a season, wins more games than they will ever lose and they can mix things up far better than Hibs. On a one off game we are more than a match - over a season we wouldn't come close.
One key thing they have - their young players know their jobs well and stick to their task. Ours quite often don't (in my view) - you see progress with them, with Alex, Sam and to an extent Danny, you see stagnating youth.........very sad and that for me is due to the mindset of the player, not Hibs. Our lads need to quickly develop swagger and arrogance. They look like they would physically and mentally collapse when the pressure is on - football is unforgiving and if the penny doesn't drop soon with them they will be journeymen before they have even hit 25.
Spot on.
Ain't no yams love in - basically it's showing us what can be done with limited resources.
We have no excuses - as a club those running it at board level and management level need to deliver - if they don't then they should face the consequences.
This club is massively under performing and achieving and needs to stand up and do their talking on the pitch.

Well they are our city rivals -a club smilar in size and similar resources and a club we should be competing with for future fans, players and trophies.
Comparing and relating to what they do is allowed - while we need to concentrate on ourselves losing sight of what has happened with them can't be overlooked - our supports heads are stuck in the sand if they think otherwise.

Agreed, was working in Wheatfield St today & had no idea there was even a game on tonight let alone how many & who they've played. Albeit I'm recently back from hols.
On a side note I had a call from LD at home this eve asking why I hadn't renewed yet. Financial reasons I replied to which she said she would contact zebra & get back to me tomorrow once I check if my seat still available & hinted payment plan could well still be sorted.
Truth be told I would have probably hand picked my games but her effort & personal intervention means I will now renew.
Hope there's a few more like me !!

This is really encouraging to hear things like this from our Chief Executive.
We're obviously still miles away from where we should be and want to be but with Leeann Dempster in charge of the football side of the club, I feel really confident that we'll have a club that people can identify with again and I believe we'll have a bright future.
It's excellent that she's doing things like this. :aok:

Prompting a load of pish being posted about Hibs not prioritising the team, which is utter nonsense.

Fair enough, maybe they could prioritise it enough so that we could be as good as Ross County then? That would be nice.

I think they are now actually trying to do that AND focusing energy on improving the club as a whole.
You might see that if you take your blinkers off and forget about the fact that Petrie is still there in some respect.

I wish they'd hurry up and get that decent team on the park then. We're still long way off a team capable of winning the second tier and our rivals are sitting top of the Premier and not looking like going away from that spot for a while yet.
We just go from one mistake to another.

Forget league reconstruction, if LD is quick enough Plan C is a wee merger with the champions elect before the season's out to get us into the Prem and CL football in 16/17. We can offer them Easter Road, our East Mains player R&R facility, Rod Petrie and Scott Allan (the only Hibs player who would enhance their team).

100? Fair play to Caldwell, that goal for Scotland against France and definately made the most of his talent but his celebration against us in front of the East for Celtic still sticks in my craw. Welt :greengrin.

What do you expect a player who we roundly booed whilst playing for us then absolutely slaughtered when playing against us to do?
Caldwell was a great professional and played well for us and Scotland IMO. Wasn't one of the George St crew and gave his all. Yes he was prone to the occasional blunder, which Hibs player isn't? Like many before and many after, he moved west. He was up front about signing for them, unlike the likes of Riordan and Murray who are both still heroes. Very odd!

I take it this was said in jest? You would seriously take Sow over Malonga, or Gomis instead of McGinn, Ozturd instead of Fontaine? Walker would probably get in our team right away but seriously who else? The keeper is a dodgy one as Alexander has been flapping a bit so far, and surely you don't think young Rolf is better than David Gray? As for the other untested six foot plus industrial cloggers that Levein loves, we'll have to wait to see if they sink or swim. We, on the other hand have genuine youthful players who are gelling into a good footballing side. Let's see how we're doing in a month or so before heaping anything that could be construed as praise on the puddledrinkers as I find it somewhat offensive to my natural Hibby sensibilities.
