Just looking for a decent performance getting anything else is a bonus.
Drew the last time after a good second half.
Same today would be brilliant

Didn't have much hope, but some, you could do something..

Terrible first half.
Good start to the second half until the second goal.
Shambles after that.

 

[Gabriel]

Terrible first half.

Becoming a recurring theme in League games, one that requires addressing.

Only just realised my neighbours lad Ellis Simms has gone there on loan from Everton.

Again though the other teams fail to capitalise on Hearts dropping points in the battle for 3rd.

Looks a decent player.

Did well on loan at Blackpool last season wasn’t getting a look in at the Blue noses

 

[jimharri]

And they're "the best of the rest" up there. Wow.

 

[aka blue jambo]

A complete shit show

Jamie Walker scores his first goal for Bradford.

Better recall him…

Dundee transformed since Griff the sniff was punted

Bricking it for tomorrow

Livingston seem to be reinvigorated but are equally inconsistent. Hearts might do better keeping it on the deck and using the three smaller players up front.

Hadn't lost two on the bounce all season, yet now that's only one win in five games. A win tomorrow would set them up for the next 7 league games, all eminently winnable and the majority of which, perhaps conveniently, are away from Tynecastle. But why the toxicity?

Still a lot of fans do not like the manager

Never learn. Third in the league with quite a good squad, in terms of ages and abilities, but a comparatively poor record in derbies leads some to conclude that he's hopeless. Next season will inevitably be harder, after the impetus of promotion fades, but they probably need to stick with him for two more seasons. Never understood why fans prioritise 8 derby points and finishing in the bottom half over what they have.

Are you costing plane banners already?...

The thing is you have to go back to the 70's for the last decade that Hibs had the better
derby record.

derby record.

They had a strong record in the late 1990s to early 2000s, but the problem is that most Hearts fans are too young now to remember the time when Hibs really dominated the fixture, from the early 1960s through to the early 1980s. Of the 69 league encounters this century, I think Hibs have won 17, Hearts have won 27, and there have been 25 draws, but the reality is that when silverware is impossible to attain, owing to the financial disparity with Glasgow, fans measure success parochially.
