Naisy sacked by Hearts after eight defeats in a row.
How quickly things change. He only signed a new contract a couple of months ago.

That’s what having the Vermin invest in you does.

Felt bad for Naismith as we (my fellow Hearts fans) were desperate for him to succeed and kick on from last season but we’ve had a horror start to this campaign. Aberdeen have wrapped up a top 3 spot by mid-September and you really can’t be losing eight games in a row.

Who is “the Vermin’, Alan?

Brighton. I’m sure that system will do you some good but it’s a matter of principle. (Only for me on here!)

I don't follow them so much.

What happened that this club dropped so much after a successful last season?

Wahey Falkirk!

Difficult to pinpoint as summer transfer business, on the face of it, looked good.

But for some reason, new signings haven’t settled, tactics have been poor, team formations have been erratic, players’ form has dipped and general performances have been horrific.

Basically all the magic ingredients to be bottom of the league and dumped out of two cup competitions already.

Sounds a wee bit like us

Looks like you started the season ok as well. Drew with rangers and we're the better team, then went to Dundee and the stats make it look like you should have won there.

But the 3 fixtures against Motherwell, Dundee United and St Mirren looks like you had low xg in all 3 and played poorly. Is it due to injuries?

Naismith:

 

[larbert toffee]

Wahey Falkirk!

Plucky effort yesterday 5-2 doesn't tell the full story.

I hadn’t realised that the hero of Crystanbul was now at Hibs. Go Gayley!

He hasn't featured yet! Bit of a mystery. Another old stager Junior Hoilett has though and got an assist to guarantee instant hero status.

Hearts I know you have had a bad start to the season and when I seen the score line i was thinking this man will do well to survive but tell me if this is correct and may not so much Hearts but the teams just outside the top 2 seem to change their manager like my mrs changes her mind about what's for tea. Hibs and Aberdeen seem the worst offenders. It does not help when you are playing Thursday - Sunday -Thursday as I said you're not the worst offenders but just feels it may be a tad rash to an outsider.
