Well now we know

So will O’Donnell start today?

With the other fixtures going on I’d love to see us pick up 3 points. Hoping for a good solid performance to set us up for the remaining 3 matches in Oct after this one. COYW

Even more so when someone else is paying for it

Well it depends on when “before the game” is. 5 days before I think optimism will be low. The night before the needle will be off the scale, almost Trump like. “The only way we can get beat is if it’s rigged”

I have no problem with some polite applause prior to kick off. Then it’s us against them as normal. Certainly wouldn’t be booing him just because he’s an ex player in a Celtic jersey. However, if he does something “boo worthy”. Then by all means boo him, same as you would any other player. I wish him all the best and a great career (perhaps returning to us like uncle Phil) but hope he stinks against us. COYW

You just couldn’t last a whole week off, could you!

Depends what week. Milner should also have had a stick on second yellow and didn’t get it.

Exactly. 100% PK.

Don’t have a problem with the PK decisions. I always look at it from our point of view, would I have been looking for a pk if that was our player and in both cases, for me it’s a yes.

Correction. 2 saves.

While I think most are in agreement that we need to improve, especially in midfield, based on our results and attitude we look capable of taking points off any of the other 11 teams. The question is how much can we limit our poor performances and daft mistakes to attain some level of consistency?

The OF are always favorites to come out on top in the long run but perhaps more this season than any other season almost every game could go either way.

Kelly made 1 real save from open play.

Hearts had 5 shots on target. That’s 2 pens, a free kick and 2 shots. I think Kelly only really had 1 real save. We just shot ourselves in the foot.

First goal Kelly, second goal 95% Kelly but normally he is helping us secure points so can’t be too harsh on him as long as he doesn’t start to make a habit of it. Combine that with this being the first game we have not scored in, it didn’t help matters. Still upbeat though and better to be dealing with a defeat when battling for top spot rather than avoiding relegation spot.

Agree. Sitting in 4th spot after 8 games, I’ll take it. Cut out the stupid mistakes and we will continue to pick up points. We definitely had chances to score today but just couldn’t do it.

Two lapses cost us. Stats look not bad but it’s goals that count

Need to score there

Kelly positioned well for free kick but then moves to his left as the player takes his run up.

Not playing well and gifted Hearts 2 goals. Kelly only had 1 real save I think.

We haven’t posed any attacking threat at all

Not sure what Kelly was thinking

Def pen
