IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

Of course it is different - are you feeling guilty ? It was Robbo's responsibility for the way that he started - He is undoubtedly "rawer" than anyone else and will undoubtedly reflect when he sees the replays. The first three goals were unstoppable. Perhaps White being the "defender" for one was a mistake BUT who made that call. Were you actually watching the game ? Hearts were immense when they got started. You started your response well but turned into a vulture again by the close.

Perhaps it was actually only reignited today ?

The season and the MAIN focus does only start next week.

Robbo on BT described it as "embarrassing" and "schoolboy defending" for four of the goals. Would agree to three of them. Hopefully defensive changes will be made. Lets hope that the lash back is next week.

Of course it is vultures. There should not be any of this species of posters flying about and spreading their venom at this stage of the season. I am calm and it is raw but again hopefully a big learning curve. What form - against who ? Again watch the first 3 goals. Hearts had a better team and then they had confidence and the impulse to go for the jugular.

Fer fecks sake - Did anyone see the first 2 or even the first 3 goals - All GREAT finishes - No answer to that. For the first 30 minutes there was little in that. Shure Robbo gotthe tactics wrong in the end BUT it was wholly understandable why he set out the team as he did. That was NOT a humiliation - We went behind to a better team and there was absolutely NOTHING straightforward about it. Cant believe that the "vultures" are circling already. The season STARTS next Saturday.

Could be the best thing that happened to us. Hearts were on a high today and all it did was to simply show that we are far from being a team that could hold its own in the premier division. Perhaps we got the tactics wrong at the start but you cant foresee those first two goals. Falkirk will provide us with more answers.

Goodnight Vienna - Free header again for Naismith - HEADS GONE

Shirley - Nothing to lose now ?

Danny Mackay is understandable but NOT for Walsh ??

Perhaps some people were spared ??

FFS - Lafferty and Ipekazu up front

4-0 and poor defending again

Robbo looks like he is going for a goal. Has to be Austin for White. Understandable but also nervy ??

We were however holding our own before Hearts scored 2 great goals. No answer to that and in Ipekazu he has been immense. And lets add that their keeper had two great saves and we missed a sitter BUT thankfully we will not be playing this type of team every week.

Trafford and Chalmers are being bypassed - Hearts are playing everything through Lee, Naismith and the very impressive Ipekazu. As we are going direct Doran and polly are also been mainly bypassed. White looks the wrong choice as despite his height he is winning feck all in the air and his holding up play is not the best. Walsh looks the danger but again he usually picks up the ball in the wide areas.

Half Time whistle was feckin sweet

Only the post saves us from going 4-0 down. ?

We are not being outclassed. We have set out our stall to defend and hit on the break. The boy Ipekazu is the difference and the nobody would have stopped the first two goals. And now there keeper has made two great saves. Do we need a goal or wot ?

Oh dear - we are falling apart. First two were fine strikes - so was that but our defending was poor.

2-0 but our feckin wall looked 15 yards back. Brilliant free kick though.

This is going to be a BIG 15 minutes. ?

Oh dear - Fine finish by Ikpeazu BUT why was White designated to shadow and not Donaldson or McKay ?

The biggest positive so far is that their passing and distribution is worse than ours. BT Sport just zoomed into a Hearts mummy breastfeeding her baby !!!

Looks like we are defending deep but Chalmers sweet left foot should have put us ahead on the break. We are not exactly parking the bus but we look confident that we can hit them on the break.
