Just hope we have now came into a bit of stability within the team now that the whole Stokes/Portugal saga is behind us. Will be good to see the new signings making an instant impact in the team.

Oh and keep the gap between us and the Gunts :wink:

We’re now guaranteed to come out of another horrendous run of fixtures ahead of them. I said last week 6 points from Dundee and Motherwell was a must, and if, after the Aberdeen game, we were ahead of hearts we would pull right away as they then have a tougher run in. Hopefully pick up some points from our next two and keep the gap more than 3 points (can’t see hearts not winning both games)then we will finish at least 6 clear of them come the end of the season. Tonight was a huge result for our season.

They got a bit above their station after a number of Levein inspired 0-0 draws. They're back in their Tiny box now.

They've got the Saints this weekend. Lose that at home and the pack are right on their tails and they will be likely to be bottom six.

If we're serious about making a run for a European place we need to be getting something from Ibrox. A big weekend for both teams.

You're right, very big weekend. If we can avoid defeat or better then that'll be a great result. They've strengthened well so will be tough, but we can do it.

I'd disagree.

Going into the recent run of 5, I was focusing on wanting wins over Dundee and Motherwell. Any points from Celtic, rangers, or Aberdeen would be a bonus.

I'm expecting to only have a 1 point lead over hearts by the time we play Killie on 24/2 - it's kicking on from there and getting a good return from: Killie, Hamilton, Hearts, saints, Partick, and county that will determine if we get Europe.

Edit: this is on the assumption that 4th is what we're after for Europe so long as one of the top 3 win the cup.

But we have a much easier run in than the Gunts so the 6 points from Dundee and Well were a must so job well done.

As an aside we think we r light on striker front - they only have laughatme and Naismith now- neither are What you would call prolific. Can see a lot of Levein inspired 0 0's coming their way

I disagree and I've read this on a few threads now. Since when was Aberdeen at home a free swing? It's Aberdeen FFS. We were the better team for most of the last game at Easter Road and I'd expect it to be the same again. A good side, with some good players but they are far, far from unbeatable.

But we had to win the 2 matches against Dundee and Well and we have so to some extent the pressure is off a wee bit in next 2 league games. These type of games tend to bring out the best in us and am hopeful they will again

Yep; since 1994, Hearts have earned 71 red cards in 433 games in the top flight, or roughly one red card in every six games, the worst record in that timeframe. The average is about one red card in every 9.4 games. Hibs actually have a below-average record, with a red card about every 8 games or so.

Yeah, I agree. Which is why I've found it strange reading some posts over the last week or so that seem to have written off the home game against Aberdeen as if we'll be lucky to get a point. I had been lazy above and hadn't fully read your post, so apologies. I think last night was a huge point in our season though and IMO we'll now kick on and stretch away from the weirdos across the city.

A win on Saturday will pull us into the top of the table and show that we are competing for 2nd or 3rd.

Defeat would probably see us have to settle for 4th at best.

A draw leaves us still able to chase but struggling to catch any of the teams above.

Back up a win with a win against the Dons and I honestly don't see why 2nd is not a definite possibility.

01-02-2018, 07:42 PM
Its a good lead over hearts at this stage but there's a lot of hard work to be done to finish above them and in the top 4. Just need to keep playing as we are and results will follow. Nothing to fear from Sevco and Sheep in our next 2 games. Just concentrate on ourselves......thats all we can influence.

In case anyone doubts what a decent job we are doing - table at the end of last season;

20130

And the table right now:

20131

I have little doubt right now that we will overtake St J total for last year by seasons end - only need 17 points from 13 matches to match it - the question, I guess, is how the Gorgie Galacticos will do ??

Sorry, but you surely can't be serious?

Granted points against Celtic away are a bonus, but we should never be going in to a game at Sevco away or Aberdeen at home viewing points as a bonus. Both are decent sides but so are we. We're more than capable of taking points from these 2 games.

You're confident Hearts will take 6 points from St Johnstone at home and Ross County away but have little or no confidence in Hibs? Strange, very strange.

I don't see how that's unreasonable - we're playing 2 teams above us in the league who beat us the last times of asking. Hearts are playing 2 teams below them (one dead bottom) who they beat the last times of asking (I think).

I imagine all 4 results there are the bookies favourite outcomes, so it's my expectation. I'll be happy should it not come true, obviously. That would give us a bigger gap going into our run of much more winnable games.

I'm confident we'll will get points in the next two games and would you really be confident in them winning both games. The saintees game looks a nailed on draw to me and while they should beat county coyle could be gone by then and a new manager in. No point in trying to predict any games. Chelsea 0 Bournemouth 3 should warn anybody off taking results for granted. Irrelevant of the scores in the next couple of fixtures we will have played them and they will have them to play after that.

Just like the dons building a super new stadium when they got under 14,000 at their last league game hertz can't sell out a home Derby in the cup and were over 3,000 under their capacity in the game v well and that after beating us in the cup. There are a lot of them staying away due to the football being played under Potter and the so called extra money they would get from the new stand looks unlikely unless they get a new manager in and get to see non hoofball at the pbs.

My thoughts exactly. No team at Easter Road is a "free shot" for us. Bugger that for a laugh, it's Aberdeen not Barcelona, no matter how much the former's fans believe they are the latter.

Aren't I the clever one. Pity I got the saintees game wrong. Have to say I couldn't see us beating both sevco and the dons but that why I stopped predicting results a long time ago. A draw v Killie and hopefully hertz get a draw at castle Greyskull. After that 5 games we should look for a good few points before the break.
