That result tonight is a hammer blow to our pink chums, they’re realistically looking at a playoff place at best. I’ve been on the fence as to whether they’d go down or not, but I’m now leaning towards them finishing bottom. Their one big result they’ve had since Stendal came in was the win against the huns, that result is looking less impressive every week as the huns stumble from one disaster to another. If it wasn’t for the greatest draw in history against the sheep I’d be convinced they’re doomed.
Think I’m waiting until after we beat them to start making any such predictions....I’m nervous about the game already!Quote:

The relegation places will be decided after the split. It looks like it's between the bottom 3, but Ross County could still be dragged into it.
Nothing is even close to being decided yet.
ross county won’t be dragged into it they will win at least another two games and a few draws. Hearts won’t be catching them. It’s a two horse race and may the most famous team finish last.😂Quote:

There are 10 games before the end of the season.Quote:

I think they will get play offs at the absolute minimum. It's all too familiar to the Butcher days for me. After each game you say 'we will get a win next time' before you know it it's too late.Quote:

They remind me of us with Butcher in charge. Everybody was saying we only needed one win but it never came. It's hard to break a losing habit.Quote:

Win those games and they’d still be in the play off positions.Quote:

yes it’s possible but hearts would need to win 4 games over the ten and county not win any , not going to happen . Hearts have won only 3 all season.Quote:

Problem is they need much more than one win. Unlike Hibs under Butcher who slid down the table, Hearts have been rock bottom since the end of 2019.Quote:

They have been worse since Stendel took over, leaving it so long is looking like it’s giving them a wee chance if saving their season.
They are saying, on eighteenpointsback that hahahahearts did it in season 1998/9 and eventually finished 6th 🤔Quote:

Lot of football to be played but Hamilton tend to grind out wins at this stage of the season and Saints and County are picking up good wins.Quote:

If they lose to us and st Mirren beat St Johnstone it won’t matter I don’t think.Quote:

Argh still too early to tell but all I can say is that if Hibs were in Hearts position I’d be rather less than confident that it was going to end well!
Losing both games would give me more pleasure :greengrinQuote:

What they conveniently forget though is that back then the top league consisted of 10 teams and there was no split like now.Quote:

Hamilton and St Mirren genuinely look better than Hearts though, whether they have a better team on paper or not.
Good point well madeQuote:
