Hearts League Cup

[tm4tj]

Matchday thread for tonights League Cup game at Tynecastle.

It will be interesting to see who starts up front. Storey or Sutherland. Could be both I guess. Surprised to see Keatings on the bench. Anyone know if he is carrying a slight knock?

If these lads can carry this off it will be sensational and yet it is possible so come on ict.

I agree, with 6 experienced players and young Kennedy missing, if we hold our own tonight we will have done very well. Presumably Keatings not fully fit. 

I see Toddy is 77: first time we have had a number like that? If Alan is watching, Storey is back wearing 17!

Also shocking they are not allowed to shower after the game. Travelling home straight after the game is likely to cause more niggly problems or illness. The powers that be must sort that out and quickly!

A good stream on Hesgoal

I see our tactic is pick off the opposition one by one until they have nobody left on the park...

Cheers Jack!

Add Sutherland to our injury list?

Pleasantly surprised so far. Hearts have had the better chances, and should have scored when they hit the bar, but we have been quick on the counter attack. 

Their right winger looks the danger man so far.

It will be a tough second half, but with so many missing, better than I had dared hope so far.

Matching them fairly well, their right wing is testing Harper.

And we have our first injury...

More composure in the final third and we'd have more chances.

Hearts will take control when we start to tire.

We are certainly backs to the wall at the moment.

Just as well Hearts finishing is Pysh, we canna get two passes together.

1 down. Penalty against Harper for handball. Arguably harsh. Came after Ridgers didn’t get a punch far enough away from the goal.

Steven Maclean   total clown of a ref....    lad had his arm across his body

[Caley Mad In Berks]

Very unlucky on us for that penalty to be awarded

[CaleyCanary]

Harsh looking penalty but if it had been our shout I'd have been p'd off if it wasn't given

[CaleyCanary]

Looked like he had his arm tucked in to avoid the handball, irony being if he'd stuck his arms out the ball would have hit his chest!

[Jack Waddington]

See that nothing has changed in the 6 months of absence...

[Robert]

Hyde on for Duffy. Jordan Roberts off the bench for Hearts.

[caley100]

Have to say we're looking like a poor championship team against a premier league team..

[The Mantis]

Toddy should have done better there.

[Huisdean]

Hearts, with all their additional finance should be better plus they have played a lot more pre season games so will be ahead of us fitness wise. Nothing like our full strength team either so as long as fitness and performances improve over the next few games, I'm happy with that.
