However after leading 3-0 at half time I expected a more positive 2nd half performance, especially when Hearts went down to 10 men and it really didn't knock them out of their stride. Our slackness at the back, particularly Goldson's distribution, is a concern but all in all a good win to follow up the Rapid game. And a much needed win at that, seeing how the other teams in the top 6 have got on this weekend. In what way is it a concern?? For some of you, it's like the same team hadn't met with Rapid at all on Thursday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see how tired the lads were getting, but they carried on pushing as much as they physically could. I'm a little wet and frozen so time for another whisky! Cheers.

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 No complaints today , wee bit of tiredness set in second half. Worthy winners and a good three points on a shit day. Lets see some consistency now........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumhoilann 6,712 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 We have the 2nd best goal difference and that was a chance of bettering that of Hibs,who along wi the Tims, both scoring 6,have closed it all up.OK the 3 pts were a must but if it's tight at the end of the season,GD might come into it.

I expected him to freshen things up in the forward line when our tempo dropped, particularly Middleton to just run at them and try to take advantage of the extra space we should have had when they went down to 10 men. But plenty time for tired legs to recover for the Hamilton game and hopefully get on the winning trail away from home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS4_wul 4,107 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Was disappointed during second half as we didn't score more goals but as others have said the players have put in some shift the last 2 home games.

Was fucking shitting myself last 15 mins as I've seen it too many times before. If we had drawn that our season would have been fucked. Psychology we wouldn't have recovered. That's why Iam angry. Okay, a wee bit dramatic mate, but understandable...to a point. As a regular poster and having been through the last few years, I can sort of understand where you're coming from, but it really hasn't any relevance to today. We controlled the game, apart form the two cracking saves early doors by McGregor. If we needed to score in the second half to win the game, I don't doubt for a second we would have. We absolutely humped that (unbeaten in the League) team and that was a huge marker left to every team in this country/league. Let's just enjoy a quite superb first half performance, a great performance over all and enjoy the fact that we have the makings of a really good team. That was a huge win today...enjoy. I'm certainly quite happy with my £25 at 9/1. WATP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't comment on it pre match but it was niggling at me. Hearts were flying and we had just come off a game on Thursday in which the Rapid captain commented that the pace we played them at left them struggling for.breath. it had me thinking that if that was how they felt then our players must be fucked. That was a great first 45 and to.have it sewn up by HT was fantastic Yeah I was a bit concerned too. I thought it would be really scrappy and a struggle so to get it wrapped up quickly was superb. We are going places now, we just need to iron out the inconsistency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoGeo7 10,444 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Have to be pleased with that result, it was a tricky tie for sure. Those whinging about the scum and scum lite getting 6 need to remember this was an unbeaten side sitting top of the table not cannon fodder like Hamilton or st Johnstone (who we put 5 past a few weekends ago).

Gonna get a tough game at Easter Road Livi will, but their home advantage will see them pick up points against anyone. Aberdeen will likely take their place in the top 6 unfortunately and Hibs I thought would drop away this season after losing McGinn and McGeough but they're looking strong and will give anyone a game at Easter Road. But all our players can do is focus on their own performances and results, if we can start winning games away from home we won't be far off come the end of the season.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 A topsy turvy game in which we looked open in parts, but we really took our chances. Kent was unbelievable, as was Flanagan. Totally lost our way after Ejaria went off, which proves how important he is for us. Delighted with the win though, it was absolutely crucial we got the 3 points.
