Not looking forward to this one. Was at Hearts friendly against Sunderland and while it was a friendly thought Hearts played well. Looks like they have signed decent forward in Braga and have goals in their team. Defensively they looked solid with Finldlay and Milne being standouts. Only weak point at the back looks like Clark in goal who flapped at a couple of crosses as usual.
With it looking like Gueye will be away looks like Yengi will start up front. Would expect one of Aouchiche, Clarkson or Palaversa to drop out from Friday’s starting midfield three and Nilsen to come in to protect back 4. Dorrington could come in for Milne at the back but think that would be a bit unfair on Milne who has done okay in preseason games. Agree with those saying we are going into this game a bit undercooked. Unlike Hearts from what I have seen in preseason we do not look like a team with many goals in it.
Expect Hearts to start fast on Monday and we will need to weather the storm for first 30 minutes if we are to get anything from the game. If we lose an early goal we will be in for a long evening.
As an aside only getting 550 tickets for an away game is shite. League really needs to look at making clubs provide a minimum number of away tickets based on % of stadium capacity.
