Stylish Kid Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I guess my shot to make a thread! Interesting match - back when the sides met in July, Hearts won and looked set for another strong season. County ran them close and played really well, it's been surprising to see them now at the foot of the table. Meanwhile Hearts' form can only be described as "farting along". A win for either team would be huge, and a defeat would definitely turn the heat on either manager, particularly if other results have teams around them pulling away. Despite the Sibbick Supremacy of Thursday, Hearts are yet again looking at another injured defender in Stephen Kingsley, although there have been tentative hints in the press that some players are on the cusp of a comeback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-RCFC Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 I may be speaking for myself here, but the lack of interaction from County fans on P&B at the minute should show the lack of interest most fans are feeling at this moment. I’m unsure if many Hearts fans have seen a lot of County this season. The first 45 minutes at Tynecastle was the best we’ve played all season, so any positive impressions we gave you that day are simply false. Bare in mind, Sibbick was ill and every ball was in behind him for Owura to run onto. In terms of game plan for County, nothing has changed in that aspect. We still just shell the ball into the channel, but now we shell it for the pace-whore Jordan White to maraud towards. All jokes aside, we look really really poor. Ross Laidlaw has been steady but hasn’t set the heather alight really. Ben Purrington and Connor Randall, our two best full backs, are out injured. In Baldwin and Iacovitti you have two centre backs that will head buses, but they must also have the lowest pass completion of any CBs in the league. Our midfield looks disjointed with any combination you mix it with. Add to that Ross Callachan is out injured who has been a mainstay in the first 11 this season, albeit probably not at his best. We do have decent options on the wing; Owura and Olaigbe are both dynamic and get bums off seats. However, they’re both too interested in beating every man on the park than being rational with the ball. Finally, we have the worst striking options in the league. Jordan White is a tryer but simply not good enough for this level, and Jordy Hiwula is a fairy who is exactly as shite as the Doncaster fans told us at the start of the season.In summary, I genuinely don’t think it matters how many players you have out injured this weekend. I know our game plan will be to launch balls into your box at any opportunity - not because of your lack of centre halves at the minute but rather its all we have in our locker. I’d be stunned if the 3 points don’t head back to the capital on Sunday, sending us further into the mire. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 No point sitting back, Hearts troubles are within their defence so County should get at them. 2-1 home win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We might get something just lumping balls at White as Hearts have about 15 defenders out. We are gutter gash. If we concede first, we'll probably lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 Oh I had no idea that your season was so poor. From what I'd seen from the start to your season you'd been strong but unlucky! I'm not sure if we have a particularly sparkling record in Dingwall so we'll see what happens. Also I wasn't aware Sibbick was ill in the first match? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Winnable for Hearts, of course, but we have to be aggressive and keep the game in their half. Very vulnerable at the back, but good going forward just now. We need to come out and control territory. If we do, I fancy Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Whatever the score, this is always one of the highlights of the season. On the move in an hour or so for base camp at Inverness. Raring to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

central staggie Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hopefully with Dhanda in there we might actually try and pass the ball through the midfield rather than shelling it long for White. Ohh wouldn't that be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Anyone want to hazard a guess at the formation? I'm thinking maybe a 4-2-3-1 M. Smith Sibbick Cochrane Halliday Kio Smith Ginnely Snodders McKay Shankland Or some 3-5-2 with Smith snr on the right of the 3 and Halliday and Smith Jr as wing backs.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kincardine Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Surprising. Andy Halliday - favourite son of P&B - didn't have his goal met with more acclaim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
