Heart of Midlothian v Aberdeen

[swaddon]

A huge game for our fading hopes of the league title; lose this one and we can't mathematically win the league.

It happens at the Pink Bus Shelter in Edinburgh on Saturday 28th at 3 pm.

I'm not sure how this will go. Probably 2-0 to the hosts.

[Bukta Bertie]

We're going to do it aren't we.

I'm slightly concerned about who will score the goals but with him being an ex-Hibs player it may well be written in the stars that Nisbet will be the man to hammer a nail through the hearts.

Far too early to face thinking about this. Still coming to terms with what an act of stupidity buying a ticket was.

Just get these jumped up championship dogs back in their box in any way possible. I’m so done with them, a win at weekend would really make my month. 

[TheDonbytheDee]

It would be very Aberdeen, to win down their and throw doubt on their title hopes.

I'd forgive a lot of what has passed this season, if we do.

We need to be at our very best to come away with anything.

0-3 the dandies (Nisbet x 2 Cameron x 1)

Jock journo, David somebody on TalkSport just suggested Hearts v Aberdeen is the biggest match of the weekend in Scotland. The two Al's choked on their cornflakes.

It'll be interesting to see if we play a back three again. Very few complaints about it last night, and I think it suits us in many games. In fact, I suspect we might have switched to it last night with the next two in mind. I thought Nilsen was fine in the middle of the two actual centre halves too, and I'm not convinced that any combination of two of the three that finished is good enough as a two. 

With five days to recover, we should be fine, however the lack of subs last night was baffling. This seems to have changed since Doc came on board and is reminiscent of the McInnes days. Soldiering on with players who are clearly knackered, making mistakes, and just riding your luck as to whether you get punished or not. Bilalovic, Geiger and Devlin could all have been given a break last night.

Low loyalty point holder here seeking a ticket for this one if anyone knows of any going spare.  

No one?

No worries.

An indicator of how normalised to pish I was last night I didn’t even notice us revert to back 3. I thought plan and structure seemed to dissolve around 20mins in as seems to happen these days. 
Jambos injury list seems to be growing. Beningime a doubt for weekend, Shankland now late March at earliest, Devlin a few weeks still, Findlay 6 weeks out and Ageu (no laughing at the back) out for season now. 
 

 

 

……it’s the hope

This is happening. We are going to derail the Jambo juggernaut.

Maybe it’s the distance from the game, but I’m not sharing this unfounded optimism the pink cowshed is always a tough place and we’ve failed with infinitely better squads. obviously would love to be wrong, but I can’t see it.
