The Tackle Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 To be honest I think there may be a surprise on the cards here. Motherwell to win 2-1. Juanma is back for this one though so that might help Neilson's shan tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I can't see Robbie making a mistake like Saturday this Saturday. 0-2. Just watching Pointless.....I didn't know Auchenleck Talbot were called Auchenleck Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 We should have some more experienced back which should help but I'm not expecting much from this one. Some Motherwell goals would be nice. 4-2 Hearts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 An absolute roasting on the cards here. 4-0 to Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Robbie to keep it tight at the back. 0-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I don't think Motherwell winning this game would be a surprise at all. However, I'm going for a score draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 There should be a copy and paste template for every game we'll play outside of Celtic this season. "Hearts will win comfortably...unless Neilson's tactical diarrhea flares up again, in which case we'll lose". If I was a betting man however, he'll probably just have a half hour to go shart and we'll draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsider Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hearts to completely boss the first 30 mins and go a goal or two up. Only for them to then think . . F*ck it, that'll do. . Then revert to a 4-6-0 for a shitfest of a last hour. Probably draw the game only for neilson to blame the players lack of energy and urgency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Ripley Law Kennedy McManus Hammell Ainsworth Grimshaw Lasley Pearson Moult McDonald Would be my team. Similar formation and shape that we played against Aberdeen which was by far our best performance under McGhee so far. Don't be as open as we have in recent games and try and get a grip of the midfield. Moult on the left is obviously far from ideal but at least you know you'll get a shift out him and he won't abandon his defensive duties. Which is what worries me about starting Johnson or Thomas, especially with the threat Paterson poses going forward down the right. Unlike the last few games, where we've been dead and buried after about an hour, make sure we keep ourselves in the game then throw on Johnson and Robinson for the last 20 mins or so and have a go.

capt_oats Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As per Casagolda's post above; Hammell and Lasley played for the 20s last night and McManus should be available so I'd imagine they'll be in after the shambles up in Dingwall. From listening to him post-Ross County having Lasley available seems to be key to how McGhee wants to set up at the moment Again completely agree with the post above. I'd have thought that the line up will be that modified 433/442 system we played at Aberdeen with the 3 narrow central midfielders and Ainsworth as the winger playing in between midfield & attack and Moult filling in the space on the left. The fact that Hearts have as robust a central midfield means we definitely need the bodies in there. Ripley Law Kennedy McManus Hammell Grimshaw Lasley Pearson Ainsworth McDonald Moult On the basis of form and our recent performances I'd happily take a draw and us not shipping really soft goals.

Desp Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Capt_Oats team would be the one for me. I see Hearts are planning to wear a special 3rd kit on Saturday. Isn't that the grey(ish) one? Hopefully it's quite a foggy day and the Hearts players can't see each others shirts... 3-0 Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hearts win I expect. Not seen much of Motherwell since the home game but they don't seem to be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Little Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Draw for me. Gomis and the Prince first picks as usual. Robbie having his usual brain farts with subs and tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I was as annoyed as anyone at Neilson's tactics and sub on Saturday, but we shouldn't revise things and act like he's making numerous mistakes week in week out. We've been going very well recently, and while I'd like to see us have a bit more license attack wise I don't think we have much room for complaint. Saturday will be tight I think. I'll go for 2-0 Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Draw for me. Gomis and the Prince first picks as usual. Robbie having his usual brain farts with subs and tactics. Gomis has started one of the last 5. Prince is coming on to a good game and we were much worse after he went off on Saturday.Still, we've only taken 13 out of the last 15 points in the league so clearly we need a radical rethink.

one m in Motherwell Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'd go with the side and tactical set-up as used against Aberdeen. I didn't catch any of the Coonty game at the weekend but by all accounts we were utterly shite. I thought/hoped Jake Taylor had hitched a lift down the M74 with Baraclough but sadly not. Either a shiter of a 1-1 or a 0 - (any number between 1 and 4) defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Churchill Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Hopefully Mr.Levein sticks McGhee back in at left back and Wan-ma can stay on his feet. Hey Arnold has been the find of the season. Don't think we will lose-but it could end up a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably draw the game only for neilson to blame the players lack of energy and urgency This post for whatever reason has reminded me of the game after Phil died in the Scottish cup at tynie. Brilliant game hearts went 2 up both from some Lithuanian striker who's name I can't remember then porter scored a double bringing about utter scenes in the away end. However this squad isn't capable of scoring more than one goal a game never mind a comeback. Also we took over 4 thousand that day we're struggling to get 3 thousand at home games just now.
