    Hearts (a) 6th Apr

    Thank phuck for last week - it totally changes our outlook going in to this. Defeat last week and we were seriously looking at finishing bottom 6. Now all of a sudden victory on Sunday combined with the other fixtures this weekend could have us seriously looking at third again, given we have St Johnstone next weekend.

    Of course it will not be easy, but we’ve gone there this season and won, so why not again? IF he has Docherty available again, I have a feeling he will go with Sevelj at the back again but maybe this time in a three with Manny back alongside RG. Dalby is due a goal - Sunday would be great timing……...

    A tough game and I think Hearts will be desperate to get a top 6 place. We still aren't confirmed top 6, so I'd imagine that JG will be happy to play a stuffy game and nick a 0-0! It would be great if we could get the win but I think our main plan will be to look for a clean sheet. Hopefully we have a top 6 place confirmed by Sunday evening!

    Yes, agree that Dalby is due a goal. But we will have to get crosses in & set pieces in to get the chances for him to get on the end of.

    Manny back from suspension allows Sevelj to move back into the midfield. Hopefully, alongside a fit Ross Doc.

    I think it will be an open game with Hearts going strong from the start. They need a win and should be well up for it in front of a capacity home support.

    Our job will be to frustrate them and be prepared to spring attacking moves whenever the opportunities (they may be infrequent) arise.

    All the best to Jim and the boys on Sunday.

    Not sure I'd break up that partnership from Sunday as they looked good together

    If playing back three then would have Sevelj in beside Manny and Graham, him being central with the same cm 3 ahead would work

    We might go that way as Hearts have quite an attacking set up at home

    They are dangerous and been in good form for most part especially after strengthening in Kabangu, Wilson and Shankland all a threat

    They are favourites certainly and would take a point if offered now probably

    If we have the same guys available in midfield as Dingwall then we have a chance, but JG mentioned he had a decision to make on a couple, would be typical if we couldn't field Doc, Luca and Gibbs

    Hopefully a draw at dens so top 6 is confirmed before

    Not helped with Sevelj already out. Nobody left sided so means Ferry is going to have to do a lot of defending so as not to expose the young guy too much

    Stewart moaning about Hearts getting the red card but it was a terrible tackle. The studs hit Stephenson half way up his shin! Mind you, Stewart was fond of a red card against us!
