Its not like other than jam and they other 2 win everything, what the fk are we scared of, rest teams in the league are struggling to score as well ..To me its a cop out ..
    Depends how you see the formation. I don't see it as five at the back. It's three at the back. A solid back three of the players you mentioned who get help in defence from the two wing backs when necessary. Hearts play three at the back more often than not & it's certainly not a cop out for them. We've looked a more solid team with three at the back than when we've gone with four this season.

    Your right depends on which way you look on it, i don't think lately our defending last few months was anywhere near as good as it was, but its all about opinions .

    But for two brain farts by our goalie against the fun we'd have won that. 100% down to him and nothing to do with the formation IMHO.

    I think Adam could have been closed down a whole lot better but keeper definitely didn't cover himself in glory.

    To be fair, they tried to get closer to Fat Charlie but couldn’t get there on account of the nearby terrain shaking around him………….
