There was a stat during the game flashed up on screen saying we have lost I think 16 points this season from winning positions. Those points would have us sitting above Aberdeen. Small margins.

Yes thought the same..the messing up late in games has really hurt us. Aberdeens luck has now run out they are back to the real Aberdeen we might meet them half way yet.

Think we will do well to catch Aberdeen. Dundee Yinited playing well and chipping away also. Fancy us to push for 5th at best but conidering where we were last month would be outstanding.

I've been one of our biggest critics when it comes to our weak or 'soft' mentality, game management etc, but one of the most pleasing aspects about our recent resurgence is the way we've come back to win games when we've been trailing (county and aberdeen) and even today, dominating the first half without taking our chances, then gifting hearts a ludicrous equaliser on the stroke of the break... I can't have been the only one thinking we'd cave in the second half like so many hibs teams of the past. But we dug in, never really looked threatened and still got the job done.

Confidence is a wonderful thing in football and in life.

Yep. Take the Aberdeen and Ross County games into consideration and it’s 6 points won from losing positions. Glass half full etc etc 😁

That 3-3 draw with the Dons changed everything. Our confidence and team spirit was boosted, theirs was reversed. Oh dear, what a shame, never mind...

I’d disagree that Dundee United are playing well. A poor side enjoying a lot of good fortune - which won’t last. They’ve taken 4 totally undeserved points off us in our two games this season. How they are where they are in the league is a mystery to me.
