2023-24 season non-Hibs games thread

[The Spaceman]

Hearts are absolutely rotten, but they do have a bit of spirit and dig we seem to be lacking. That’s the difference between us right now (and Shankland).

[21sMay]

The fact that this hearts side sit 3rd just now is an embarrassment. We need to have a long hard look at ourselves to allow them to get this far away . They are a poor poor side and Scottish footballs shown for what it is if they finish third

Halkett, Cochrane and Kent were bogging tonight for them. How we never caused Hearts more problems the other week is baffling. Leaving Youan on the bench didn't help much though.

[Mango Man]

That's a big win for them, they have that winning habit now and 3rd is all but sealed, they have not half benefitted from VAR since it's introduction though eh?! Rarely things go against them.

A thoroughly horrible team.

Are they much, if any, poorer than the Jack Ross team that finished 3rd? You just need to be solid, have a sprinkling of good players or a talisman to win the race to be less poor than 9 others.

This is it in a nutshell

[Stevie Reid]

Think they’ve taken 28 points from their last 12 games. Can’t be that bad.

[heretoday]

Hearts have some dig about them and they're well organised. The defence isn't great but name one team outside the OF that's solid at the back.

Hearts are a solid team with Heid and some decent wide players. The young boy Tait looked a tidy footballer.

They recently went through a whole round of fixtures and only conceded seven goals.

I absolutely despise that club more than anything, but they’re on some run of form right now.

Winning goal in 90+20, wonder what the record is.

Yeah, it’s just a bit daft to be calling them *****. They're on course to match our record points total at this point in time. Unfortunately, they’re a very decent team at our level.

[Rumble de Thump]

Hearts have been very fluky in a lot of their games this season. If their extreme luck and help from referees continue until the end of the season, and Shankland doesn't get injured, then nobody will catch them.

They say the harder you work, the luckier you get.

They've definitely not been fluky because they've been working hard. They've just been fluky

They aren't flukey, they're solid. With Shankland up top and one or two other capable players they've found the right balance to win games at this level. As the Modfather posted above, they look a lot like the Jack Ross Hibs. Nothing spectacular, just doing the necessary stuff. Crapola for us, but it's working for them right now.

I must have imagined all the decisions that have gone their way that shouldn't have.

You basically have 9 or 10 teams capable of winning and losing every week. All you need is a tad of luck, official help or a smidgen of drive (as the Yams have acquired) and it will be enough to set you above the rest. Hearts are a desperate shower but appear to have won the race to be best of the rest this season with an awful manager. Says a lot about the rest.

[Irish_Steve]

Basically 3rd in Scotland is the team that has been the least "Tom Kite" over the season

[Pagan Hibernia]

To think Nae Badges was on very thin ice a couple of months ago.

It's a run of form he couldnt have imagined in his wildest dreams.

Signing a decent centre half ( Kent) has helped them

I've been wrong about him. I was happy to see him stay in a job as I thought he was pretty hopeless but he's clearly not. They're out of sight in third now.

Yep, considering they're operating with a 10 point deduction he's doing great.

We just need to win the Scottish Cup to stop that happening.

The last 6 weeks have completely changed the outlook on 3rd. Our season has dropped off big time and they’ve gone on a great run. They do have a dig as a team that we do not have just now. Plus they have a goalscorer

That Saturday at the beginning of December, where we played St Johnstone away and they were at Celtic, was the turning point. I had high hopes for us going 4 points clear of them that day, as it transpired they went ahead of us and haven't looked back. Focus needs to be on getting 4th spot now and having a decent crack at the Scottish Cup.
