    I think it's a must to pick up 7 points in the next three games and preferably 9 and a good show at Hampden after these games. I definitely have seen an improvement lately and just maybe the system Heckingbottom plays has been hard to stomach earlier but the players may be buying into that. Yesterday was like a defeat leaving the ground but a big plus is Vela and Hallberg in midfield. Chances are being made now which was not the case in the Motherwell and Kilmarnock away games. As i said minimum 7 out of 9 in the next three games and things maybe looking up.

    Turned the corner off a street rife with gang violence and onto one full of ladyboys. But we're looking for the chicken dippers.

    That was very disturbing.

    ****ing nothing lucky about the result last week.
    ????? Sorry, it was. We got an OG, they got two pens denied and missed countless chances and I can’t remember their keeper making a save. That is fortunate or in other words, lucky.

    Are you just ignoring that they should have had a man Sent off before any of those pen claims ..or the fact that our keeper didn’t have a save of note to make either ??

    Most win last against top teams need a slice of luck - we were well worth a draw last weekend

    With PH in charge, the last 3 draws are little more than a 'route recalculation' to a bottom 6 destination.

    So you're admitting we've turned a corner?

    Turned a corner? More like ‘staggered round the bend’.

    I disagree. Being honest, we were very lucky the joke of a referee didn't award what looked like two penalties to me. If they had been at the other end I would have wanted both of them.

    I can see where the OP is coming from regarding "turning a corner", but if anyone asked me is this what I want to pay to watch, I would say 100% No!
    It is bruising on the eye and the kind of football that at best can only be described as workman-like.
    It is the type of football we normally associate with The Jambos.

    Celtc should’ve been down to 9 men prior to the two penalty claims this would have changed the dynamics of the game.

    Celtic should have been down to 10 men IMHO. Worth noting Hibs couldn't see off 10 men yesterday, even with a goal of a start.

    Would Celtic be in those positions if he had correctly sent their player off? Or does that not fit into your anti hibs narrative?

    I can't answer that question. They might, they might not. I just try to call things as I see them, as honestly as I can.

    "Anti hibs (sic) narrative".

    But surely it is worth considering? You just completely ignored it to have a shot at Hibs?

    Why do we need to turn a corner? If he is fit for purpose and with a full pre season behind him and bringing in players he wants and moving on ones he doesn't we should be on a straight road.

    Is it not rather alarming to have 6pts from 24pts and be 10pts away from 3rd and have this corner being turned draws. We should not be turning corners we should be doing a hell of a lot better and I do not want a manager here who has put us in such a position that we need to "turn corners".

    Worth considering? OK I did, but as I said it might or it might not. I didn't ignore it. Hibs couldn't see off ten men yesterday from a goal up against a poor Aberdeen team. That's not taking a shot at Hibs. It's simply a fact. I only want what's best for my team. I want them to win football matches and play decent attractive football.

    Didn't stop you having a shot at me.

    I want Heckingbottom out. I did before the derby and obviously more so after losing it.

    I'm now in the mindset of thinking of the derby defeat as rock bottom and resetting after that.

    There's no doubt we have improved in the 3 games since. It's not perfect by any means but much improved from the derby and before. 3 very difficult games unbeaten. We all thought we'd lose them all but haven't. It's not been great, just better.

    If we go on and win the next 3 games, easier games on paper, Heckingbottom will have earned a stay of execution and we can trace the turning point back to the cup win at Killie. If he doesn't get the results in the next 3 (min 7 from 9) we will look with hindsight and say there was no corner turned.
