BlueKnight87 17,316 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 One year ago today we lost to Hamilton at home and things looked bleak. One year later 4 points from the title, undefeated in league and in Europe. Absolutely incredible turnaround from our side in the space of 12 months 👏 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Robot 21,292 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think that loss gave them the ammo for n&v tbh and was a horrific day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we were a few points off. N&V was never on the table. I think what happened but motivated our team massively. Now for all there politicking last season we've ended the tainted 10 in convincing fashion. Absolute Karma 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris182 6,316 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 What a turnaround, from the pits of dispair and what looked like another rebuild to an amazing season (minor blip aside) that has the makings of something truly special. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I think between us being inexperienced and energy levels we fucked it. we were in a good place that’s for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depth hurt us last season. Our starting 11 could beat anyone. But once injuries/suspensions happened we struggled as our other options weren't great. This year you look at our bench and think the bulk of it could be in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it re squad depth, getting the new signings in early too. I reckon if we picked a second eleven from the current squad they'd be hard to beat.

It’s going to easily be one of the best teams to win the top flight in Scottish Football and it should be remembered as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the teams that won titles with potentially 100+ points, unbeaten and a potential whitewash of the other side of the OF are always remembered fondly years later by the fans that win it and unfortunately for the fans that lose it for all the wrong reasons. I’ll sit back in my 50s as we deliver title number 70 and still think back to this team. If we get to the last 4 of the Europa league and lift the Scottish cup it’ll be one of our best seasons in 30+ years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subs are coming on and making an impact. Notably Itten against Motherwell and recently Wright as a sub. Adding players like Roofe and Balogun was massive.

Just goes to show how shite scottish football is when teams don't fear the team that's most likely to beat them and that pundits think that's an advert for the game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the points totals they had on the 8/75 titles and then factor in we were either not there or not competing at a high level. They don't like people pointing that out👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 74,150 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Walked out of Tynecastle and Ibrox a year back thinking that Gerrard was done 12/13/14 in a row was a formality. The management have improved unbelievably and the team are far more resillient. Guys like Roofe signing has helped but, all in all, it’s mostly the same guys who were here last season who have driven us to success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess 3,435 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I was really depressed last year. I thought it was our big chance and we blew it. We were clearly a better team. Thought timmy would see we were close and throw the cheque book at getting 10. Thought our chance had gone knowing they had cash in the bank. But we have been unstoppable.

I thought he was getting ready to walk as I never seen the board sacking him. The turnaround has been nothing short of incredible. If we went back and told ourselves 1 year on we would be on the brink of a title absolutely smashing through the league no one ever believe it.
