At the time of writing Hearts are at the foot of the Labrokes Scottish Premier League table. With only 12 games remaining many have tipped Hearts to face the drop. As a fan it’s a worrying time, the most worrying thing perhaps is that no matter what has changed this season we are still seriously struggling. Craig Levein was relieved of his duties at the end of October leaving us 10th in the league. He was replaced by German manager Daniel Stendel who brought in 4 new signings in the January transfer window with 7 leaving the club. But with only 3 league wins all season there is no denying we deserve to be in this position. The playing style has no doubt improved with more goals being scored but our problems revolve around the defence.
There is no denying the importance of the next 12 games. The club is in great danger of relegation and soon games will start to run out. Hearts are 1 point off 11th placed Hamilton who they faced at Tynecastle last Saturday. Hearts were poor to say the least going 2 goals down in 17 minutes it took everything we had to rescue a point against 10-man Hamilton. Mentally this result can have a huge impact on our season. Playing 11th placed at home and we still couldn’t muster a performance to get a crucial 3 points. Hearts have got to start picking up wins.
