Who’d have predicted the score from Easter Road on Saturday? Not me that’s for sure especially after our shoddy display against Motherwell in midweek and our inability to finish our chances against our arch rivals the previous week.
Our strikers were not in form; Nade who started had just 1 goal to his name all season. We had just 1 goal in our last 5 games which came courtesy of Andy Driver at Parkhead so to say the least, I wasn’t exactly optimistic.
The media said our strikers couldn’t score and of course they have been right 99% of the time. I mean our top scorers are Michael Stewart who hasn’t scored since Falkirk on the 13th September, perennial underachiever Saulius Mikoliunas who has been out of action since the 13th November, Bruno Aguiar and Andy Driver. All these players are on 3 goals and none may I add are strikers.
But footballs a funny old game and Hearts went on to prove this by beating the Hibies in their own back yard. Goals from Christian Nade and Gary Glen secured this and kept our hopes alive of lifting a trophy, come the end of the season.
Next up is Falkirk at Tynecastle. A game that we should win and but let’s not get carried away. As Csaba says let’s get 6 points from our next 2 league games then concentrate on the cup.
Hearts for the cup anyone?
108. Oh dear.
LOLZERS.
