Just watched the Hearts highlights...

[California-Hibs]

Listen, we're terrible, no getting away from it, but I'd urge any Hibee to watch the Hearts v Well highlights on YouTube and tell me it doesn't at least give you a bit of confidence!?

Motherwell could of scored 6 or 7....literally! Same couldnt be said for Killie yesterday.

Hearts looked even worse than us believe it or not (hence why they're BOTTOM I guess)

I don't think there could of been a better team to play right now as we struggle.

I want Hecky out regardless, but I have a feeling we're going to squeak out a home win between two poor teams with Kamberi getting his shooting boots on...

[G B Young]

Supposedly 15.8k in attendance. Uh huh.

[jacomo]

I do hope so.

Hecky can get to Falkirk as far as I’m concerned, but he gubs them he can at least enjoy a Hibs party first.

Exactly, even if we gub them by 4 I'm not letting it cloud my judgement as they are absolute rubbish, he still needs to go.

Ikpeazu (strength) , Mulraney (speed) & Japanese lad (skill) will cause us problems.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

They are poor but still scoring goals. That’s my worry just now.

[Unseen work]

The thing that concerns me is that whilst we had a lot of the ball yesterday it wasn’t played at a high tempo to cause Killie any real problems. Horgan was dreadful and near enough every time he got on it he gave it away cheaply.

Killie were the opposite, happy for us to have the ball but once they had it, it was sharp and moved at speed with runners going beyond the striker.

We were a lot more competitive in midfield however and pressed the game much quicker and effectively, first half in particular.

Hearts will cause us problems no doubt.

[California-Hibs]

They are poor but still scoring goals. That’s my worry just now.

Since the competitive stuff started, League Cup group games + regular season

Hearts goals - 15

Hibs goals - 17

Read this 'but they're at least scoring' a few times yesterday and today, but when you actually look at the proper facts to back that statement up, no, we are actually scoring a few more in the competitive games..

Only four in five league games though. We’re toothless going forward.

They’ve actually scored two in three of their five games but they’re atrocious defensively.

[Bostonhibby]

Just seen it, Maroon balloons are awful but Motherwell have shown us how designed for SPFL football they are.

There's no doubt how awful all that cash has made them but most teams on the crest of a slump just look to when we come along on the fixture list.

No clue what to expect from us as we're still tinkering despite getting the signings in early.

Not sure the second was kosher. The guy that "scored" it shoved a Well player to the ground to get to the ball, free kick to Well.

They’ve got Naismith to come back, probably next week. Of course, we have Martin Boyle to return but sadly not this week.
The annoying thing is. They, like us have an inept manager. Sadly, they have a decent squad. A new man can turn them around. We let a ****** buy things he thought were good!

The jambos have just scored as many at home as we did in our last home game. Result - who knows it's a ****** derby. And I'm ****ed if I'm going in there thinking hearts will win and even trying to encourage it.

I'd rather we win, even if that means Hecky remains for a while longer.

[California-Hibs]

Except Hibs are scoring more goals..

Hearts - 15 goals

Hibs - 17 goals

[emerald green]

Two very poor teams, each lacking in various areas and aspects of the game of football. Disorganised, powder puff, lacking confidence, woeful defensively in particular, many of the players in both teams are just not good enough at this (not all that good) level.

It's anyone's game next Sunday.

[calumhibee1]

But if you remove the league cup games etc.

[BILLYHIBS]

Last game at Easter Road Ikpeazu couldnae run was over weight unfit and breathing through his arse but still managed to get onto the end of a deflected ball into our box to snatch an equaliser

Credit where credit is due that is the determination and hunger we will have to show to win on Sunday

Now who is going to score our goals?

[PH91]

The hearts midfield is not particularly physical and it is crap.

Naismith coming back is the player i would be concerned about, who drops in between the lines and can cause problems and links well with the big lump. We, however, have our own weapon in allan who can provide for kamberi and i imagine hearts fans will be similarly concerned.

Neither team playing well at the moment so the winner could well be based on which of the above front 2 produces a moment of quality and/or which defence has the least brain farts. More likely it will be a boring draw though.

Who knows though, not looking forward to this game

[hibsquaker]

You say "Motherwell could of scored 6 or 7....literally!"

This was how I viewed the highlights the other week of the Hibs game against Well.

[Jim44]

Even that Jambo Allan Preston said we're better than them at the moment.

Don’t fall for that old piece of crap. He’s playing the quasi underdog card, knows that there is nothing between two really poor sides, and is falling on the side of error. He knows full well that the Jambos have just about enough to see us off because of their determination and will probably win, but, by siding with us, he can play the ‘told you they had the upper hand’ and comes out with prediction reputation intact.I bet he really fancies a Jambo win but doesn’t have the balls to come out with it.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Hearts have a physical side...we dont even have a side so i fancy levein to know how to handle us

There are 2 Hearts teams; one which plays like Sat against meaningless opposition and another which turns up to play Hibs. On Sat they would have been taking it easy protecting themselves, avoiding injury and improving their match sharpness on the orders of Levein as he as much as anyone knows the importance of a Hibs match. They will be well up for it.

Astonishing that they've been so bad, sit at the very foot of the table, yet one win against Hibs can put them above us. THAT'S how bad PH team of duds has been.

Ikpeazu's goal should've been chopped off. He bundled the defender over before sticking it in the net. Look at his and compare it to the tiny push by Kamberi when Hallberg's goal was disallowed.

[Forza Fred]

For as long as I can remember, Hibs relied on skill, while Hearts relied on muscle.

Unfortunately Hearts always seem to try harder than us in a derby, something I attribute partly to Alex Miller’s ‘it’s only worth 3 points, which still gets trotted out, whereas Hearts adopt a ‘must win’ approach.

With our skill factor in question just now, I’m expecting a blow by blow kind of match, which sadly, suits our neighbours more than our current powder puff squad.

[Man Down Under]

When was the last time we went three games without scoring? Surely we're due a few. My biggest fear is that this is Leveins world cup final and will fire them up better than Heckingbottom.

[WeeRussell]

Ikpeazu (Lump) Mulraney (Headless chicken) and Japanese lad (Powderpuff) wont cause us any problems.

We've been posed serious problems by lesser players for the last few months. I have no confidence Sunday will be any different.

0-0 draw and a seriously s***e game with a strange, negative atmosphere throughout for both teams, is my prediction. What happens after the game is going to be the interesting part.

The lack of urgency has concerned me since day one of the season. We didn’t play direct until AFTER we went 1-0 up.

Considering that was Heckingbottoms selling point, press, urgency, fitness. WTF is going on? Lethargic and at walking pace.

He looked good in the highlights after coming on. Took out the defender with a neat turn and good effort in getting the ball over the keeper for Ikpeazu goal. Good feet, composure and finish for his own goal.


Those saying Washington will play - he won't. Not the usual Jambo ploy this time, his hammy popped and he is out for weeks. That will probably be our typical luck, their non scoring striker that would have played out which forces the hand to gamble on Naismith who has a blinder.

We are set up to lose this game. 2 things have become very apparent. If we lose the 1st goal we are done. If we lose the 1st goal we capitulate and lose more.

4-1 Hearts.

Hearts are 100% a worse team than us, that is a fact and their 2019 form shows it in spades.

The only concern from my end, is not matter how awful they may be, they never, ever give up when it comes to the Derby. They will fight on Sunday and my concern is not over quality differences, but in spirit. We lost a metal in our midfield when McGinn, Bartley etc moved on which we have struggled to replace and I worry it will show on Sunday. We are far too soft.
