At the moment clearly they cannot cope with 2 games in a week.Quote:

Great win for the Steel men. Amazing what a team playing as a team with total commitment can manage. We are miles away from that level of energy and effort
Another dent in their title challenge!
Hows the gorgie gimps doing?

Goal score for hearts, I did...
They have only played 1 European game so far. If that’s going to be an issue for them then the worst is still to come 🤞🏻Quote:

Right from the start they pressed the Hearts players and fought for every ball.
If it wasn't for Craig Gordon it could have been six or seven.
First time I'd seen Zach Robinson who never gave their defence a second's peace.
I didn't realise Lennon Miller had just turned 18 today. He looks a player.
And Paul McGinn has a new lease of life.
Killie really struggling with the European and league games it seems. Happens to every Scottish team. We toiled with it last season.
We just toiledQuote:

He'll turn things around quickly enough, particularly when they're out of Europe. We should have pushed the boat out for him long before now.Quote:

I also doubt that non OF teams are flying in first class, luxury hotels etc either.
For some reason there is also some kind of psychological barrier that playing Thursday/Sunday is a tougher turnaround that wed/sat. It can certainly put pressure on the European team if their competitors are consistently turning out decent results on a Saturday that they’re trying to match or better on a Sunday.
