I thought that Hearts never needed to play out of 2nd gear. Granted your lads were tired after after a Baltic expedition, but if you'd cut out the time wasting and theatrics and gone for it it could have been really embarassing for us. If Hearts win 3-0 away after every European away game, "theatrics" and all, I'll be quite happy. Getting battered while 2-0 and knackered is to be expected. The fact they withstood it - with more than a bit of luck, by the sounds of it - is pretty encouraging. I'll take that attitude - winning - every week.

What if Boyle never failed in Saudi Arabia and came back with his tail between his legs? The gap was so big last season that it wouldn't have mattered who was in nets. Zander Clark would also be more than good enough this season. Motherwell had fewer shots on target than us anyway. Wonder what myths will help the Hibs bois sleep better when they see the quality of those two goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Hopefully Halkett is back after the break cause most of Motherwell's chances were from poor defending of cross balls. We definitely tired badly second half but the strength of the bench, even missing a few big players, was great and bodes well for the tough run we've got coming up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Just watched the highlights back and our second and third really are two good goals. On reflection I think what's most pleasing about it is that that's the second win we've had after a European game this season, and despite not actually playing particularly well over either of those 90 minutes, we've scored three goals twice and won those games. Yesterday had a real feeling of 'just get this done and out of here', and I mean in the stands as well as on the pitch. Support felt a wee bit flat, and everyone I was with was just done in from Riga. The team were obviously tired in the second half. Despite this, we got away from a tough place where we have a shite record with a 3-0 win. Neilson was talking during the week about building a sort of performance memory for the team to fall back on when we're struggling in the run of fixtures to come. Thinking of Sundays coming up at Killie, Aberdeen, and Ross County. These will be tough games, but with a striker (finally) who takes advantage of other teams' mistakes and other players to come off the bench and contribute / come back from injury, we look in a good place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard 'well fans booing Cochrane for alleged time wasting only for him to be subbed due to a back injury. I also heard 'well fans booing Gordon for alleged time wasting - tv coverage clearly shows Gordon limping before he makes the save. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come off it Motherwell hit the woodwork three times and were all over you. Good win regardless though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the reason that you're so touchy about our goalkeeper is that by and large, being crap is a pre-requisite for being a Hibs keeper (Marshall excepted) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another day we could have scored 3 ourselves. What other day would 4 off target efforts, an offside goal and a great save equal scoring 3 goals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Hertz players will start doing this when everyone else does. I think it used to be a booking offence to leave the pitch without the ref's permission - not sure if that's still the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
