Whosthedado 1,487 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 1 hour ago, buster. said: Hearts are 8 points ahead of us so at this point in time, we can't say we are better. Nor should we be doing ahead of the fixture next weekend. It's shaping up to be a very important match. moreso than the European match on Thursday. Hearts are another team that can be difficult to break down and might to an extent, afford an opportunity for us to show how much we can improve tempo middle to front, by playing on a decent pitch. Embarrasses me to say this but after today I am terrified of playing them. I would actually play a weakened team on Thursday and concentrate all this weeks efforts on Sunday. Yes that's how much today has deflated me 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The pitch was an abomination today. You could clearly see the hundreds of those rubber black pellets flying into the air with every bounce. No doubt the players were apprehensive today; wouldn’t you be with increased risk of being off your work for the next six to nine months. Playing at 75-80% is why we lost today. However, we should still have had enough to beat that shower of garbage! Those pitches should be nowhere near the top division and theirs is just the worst and most dangerous. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,597 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 If we have a bad result on Thursday, Ibrox will be flat on Sunday. Two huge games coming up. If we can't beat Hearts at home, we may as well give up on winning the league. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate Lafferty. Never have. I've never been a big Lafferty fan but I'd rather him being on the end of any chances we create than Morelos 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see that players were adjusting their footwork to avoid slipping. How many players slipped in the first 30 mins? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think him coming in from wide areas helps tbh. For me it's Laff or Morelos up top. I just can't see them working together 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be well fired up for the Hearts game. And it will be on grass 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 206 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Our away form is very concerning. Still early enough in the season to turn it around. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
