  1. Still feeling numb after that performance.   I thought there were signs that Beale's side was slowly taking shape, but we've come up against a team that just had too much for us to handle on the night. 

     

    Sunday is huge.  There's pressure on both managers and sets of players.  


    We simply have to make home advantage count.

     

    Keep believing!

    No chance Hearts will turn things around in the heat of Thessalonika.  

    We shall see, though I didn't watch.  Suspect you will be right though.

  3. He played really well on Saturday, albeit vs Partick Thistle. Lets see how he's going at the end of the season. If he can play 35-40 games and hopefully some group stage european games, I think he'll kick on nicely and be an option for next season.

    Notice none of the dutch journos asked about Cantwell being sent off, but that walloper from Sky couldn't wait to ask about it..

    To be fair, I was convinced looking down from the club deck that it was a second yellow.  I was very relieved when the ref decided to have a word instead, but I think a high proportion of UEFA refs would have carded him without a moment's thought.  

  5. It was a toss-up between Souttar and Goldson, but big Connor edged it.   Cantwell was close after that.

     

    The big thing was how much we relied upon the centre half pairing to bail out the full backs when they were regularly caught in behind/ out of position.

     

    Absolutely loved Souttar's darting run in the second half to break the lines from a goal kick, playing the ball down the line for Matondo.  Another sign that the work Beale is doing in training  is starting to show on the pitch

    It’s ridiculous to give Martindale a 2 minute interview.  He’s the most straight forward and fair assessor of all the managers in the league.  Compare that to the banal “how important is the game today?”/ “how difficult has the last week been?” Questions that we get when it’s our manager.  I cringe sometimes when I hear them.

    I will be very surprised if Goldson doesn't start the game on Saturday

    I wouldnt be surprised if he didn't, assuming he's had perhaps only a week or two in full training.  But also, he seems to be one of those guys who are naturally fit and can get themselves match ready really quickly.

  8. Fine as it is really... but perhaps we could give each player a joker where they can double/treble points for a prediction... might be good to save for the latter stages of the year... 

     

    Or, perhaps @Rousseau could randomly select one fixture a month to be a double/treble pointer... that might be easier to administer rather than having to track everyone's use of a joker.
