McNulty to break Hearts

[Chick A Saw]

Can anyone clear up the 5 sub rule? Hearts made 4 substitutes today. I thought it was 5 substitutes allowed in 3 breaks of play, unless one was a concussion sub? I don't recall any players going off with a head knock.

Their No17 looked to have taken a head knock from the challenge Butch got wrongly booked for, and one of the changes was at half time that im not sure counts to the 3 breaks of play rule?

One was indeed for a head knock-(according to Hearts tv at least)

That'll explain it. Cheers. 👍🏼

There's something in the half time part as well, I think. F*ck knows. Didn't even realise they made a half time sub tbh.

Important not to lose after Wednesday, especially after the very early set back, pity we could not hold on for the win

Plenty positives, fought like mad today, loads of effort and commitment, never lacking in this side

Can see we miss Watt and Levitt, Neilson did well when he came on for Edwards

Could end up with Graham/Neilson pairing down the line, Butch was excellent, Harkes was good and Liam Smith proving lots of the meltdown brigade wrong, like they know better than TC

Still all to play for pre split

2 wins in 16, no need for the meltdown brigade comment imo. Tam knows best, which is why McNulty still plays every game as a striker who can't score. Now maybe it wasn't Tam's fault we didn't send the **** back to reading and sign an actual striker, but he still persists with him when he couldn't score in a barrel of fannies. One positive thing is that we actually seem to be getting penalties in our favour finally and both of our front men seem competent at those at least. Top 6 won't happen unless we start scoring more often though and closing games out when we do get in front.

Boo boy brigade, my apologies, hence the focus on using the previous poor run to merge into your start of last 16 games

Pathetic attitude, really really pathetic

The current run before Wednesday was very decent, only a late narrow defeat away to Celtic in 9 games,lots of cleansheets, wins over County Motherwell and difficult away cup ties negotiates, a good point at home to Sevco, all the players clearly onside and playing for the manager, only 1 point separating 4-8th, only Hearts outside the old firm having done any better than us at this stage of the season (despite the doom and gloom the summer)

Still have a chance at top six and if we get into it then very much in the mix for 4th, in a young managers first season in charge, all we have are a bunch of a holes tearing him down and calling for his head, pathetic as fk imo

Or you could narrow that down to the form guide of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in our last 6. Going back 16 games is a bit unfair as we've clearly came out of that losing rut. Tam also has no option but to play McNulty and/or Clark. Who would you play instead? There is no one other than a 16 year old that none of us have seen & who only went professional 2 months ago.

Either way you look at it, we are not winning enough games though, do you really see us winning 2 out of the next 3 which in my humble opinion is what we will need to secure a top 6 spot. And on your second point, I'd absolutely prefer to see the young lad playing ahead of a guy who simply does not score goals and a guy who rarely scores goals. I mean what's the worst that can happen? He also doesn't score goals? Nothing lost there then

Spot on!!
McNoscore playing every week getting on my thrupny bits!!

P.S. we lost the second goal, with nobody on the back post, yet we still pull all 10 players back from corners? Would love to get back to old fashioned approach, one left up front and both posts covered, has worked for many years, and will continue to work for many years. You can shove your coaching manuals up your erse if you think otherwise ffs!!!
