We are overdue a good performance

[minstral 5,375]

i hope tomorrow that the team can all play well and give hibs a good beating, let have a good attacking performance and show how we can play. i dont know about the rest of you but to me my nerves are shattered with our performances when we seem to make it so hard for ourselves and and i just pray for the final whistle to go. i think tomorrow will go a long way to let us know if we are going to win the title, and i feel 3 points is a must or anything less will put severe pressure on ourselves.

No wins in our last 3, an improvement is definately needed.

We have been poor for a long time but I dont care how we play tomorrow as long as we come away with the 3 points. Anything else will not be acceptable. The last thing we need before and Old Firm match is to drop points and give celtc a boost!

Hate to be over critical but our good performances each season over the last 5 = about half a dozen at a push.

No wins in our last 3, but lets get some perspective here........

1-0 loss to Bremen........took us through to the quarter finals.

2-2 draw with Dundee United.......gave us our first trophy for 2 seasons.

1-1 draw with Thistle........inexcusable, but ultimately nothing was lost.

When we've needed to pull it out the bag, we've tended to deliver. Remember going to Tynecastle not so long ago, we were all building it up to be a huge game in the title race, which it was, but our performances had been dodgy........we walked away with a 4-0 win and an outstanding performance.

It matters tomorrow, it matters a lot. And when it really matters, I've got full confidence in Walter Smith and this bunch of players to get the result we need.

If i had the choice i'd settle for another lacklustre performance v Hibs and save the good one for the OF game. I think another pumping like they got at Ibrox will destroy them completely. They'll be so demoralised they might go into meltdown and the title will be ours even earlier than we expect.

I would agree with that. A good performance would be great but for me, 3 points is a must in each game until the league is won. If it means ugly, then so be it for the rest of this season. Next season though, I want to see an improvement in our attacking play, up the tempo a bit.

Minstral has it right - we ARE due a good performance. Please Walter play two up front - Boyd and Naismith. Please do NOT play L. McCulloch up on his own.

[mark_ni 12]

we are due a good performance but that can wait untill next week. I dont care if we are pish 2moro as long as we win. Dont care if we only win 1-0 and its an own goal as long as we get the 3 points. Then we can have a great performance next week and hammer the tims 4 or 5 nil like we would have done last time had it not been for dodgy ref/linesmen.

[MacWoodburn 2]

We have been pretty poor all season if the truth be told !!But look at the table

and the draws for the Scottish and UEFA cups!!!The only way is up!!

"Sure the Germans came over....."!!!

Over due a performance from the players but with the more games we play the harder it gets.

[delparlane 5,710]

Still due one after today. Still good to win, ugly or no.

[Danny 9]

Another pretty mediocre display. More urgency in the second half but a painful lack of quality out there today.

[Boab 73]

Minstral, it must have got lost in the post bud.

[the bears ba's 1]

As long as the much overdue good performance comes next week against the great unwashed i'll be happy. Mind you i'll take a scrappy 1-0 against that lot.
