Prior to the start of the season I would have said Hearts would have easily been in the running for that third spot in the SPL. Infact their was only one or two reasons that would stop them challenging the Old Firm, a goalscoring striker... or two. They had the base of a good team, solid looking defence, a hard working captain in Stewart and the creativity and skill of Driver. After 9 games of the 2009/2010 season Hearts sit in 9th with 9 points, arguably it could/should have been worse.
Has Big Bad Vlad started selecting the team again? Or stopped selecting and let Laszlo dig his grave? I have been to Tynecastle once this season (in the away end of course) and I was not impressed by the side I had tipped for third spot pre-season, even though they won 1-0. I think the old saying goes "couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo." Yes, they scored, but Driver even admitted it was a fluke after the game!
Taking the captain as an example, last season lots of jam tarts were calling for Stewart for Scotland which is a far cry from this weekend at Tynecastle. After a poor performance getting booed by almost the whole home support as he was taken off. Csaba Laszlo came out afterwards and defended the player while having a slight dig at the fans saying "We must have acceptance from the fans behind us but obviously if you win two or three-zero then it is easier to support the team."
So why has it all gone sour milk down Tynecastle way?
