Were it not for Alexander Schwolow we could have lost by a heavier margin. Bullied all over the park and St Mirren were hungrier than us and we got what we deserved, nothing. Team selection and tactics, why take of Alexandros Kyziridis and keep Kabore on?
We asked for your thoughts after Hearts suffered their third defeat of the season when they were beaten 1-0 by St Mirren on Tuesday night.
Here's a taste of what you had to say:
Calum: Worrying how we just can't seem to hack it when we set foot in Renfrewshire. Some of Derek McInnes' decisions are odd; such as starting PIerre Landry Kabore on the right when he's clearly a poacher/target man and taking off our best creative player for a centre-half. We simply cannot afford to tinker when we're at the top of the league. The derby is now an absolute must-win.
David: Three red cards in five games is not acceptable. Even before going down to 10 we looked off the pace and devoid of ideas and we were too slow to get the ball forward. Were it not for Alexander Schwolow we could have lost by a heavier margin. Two big games coming up, onwards and upwards !
Paul: Hearts having had three of their players sent off in the last five games clearly shows the pressure is now cranking up with a serious lack of real discipline creeping into the mindset of the team. It's now looking increasingly likely that this Tynecastle side's destiny is that they will be the masters of their own downfall. You have be razor focused in every match with sustainability and consistency being essential in winning any domestic league championship.
Chris: Waste of a trip to Paisley, awful performance. Bullied all over the park and St Mirren were hungrier than us and we got what we deserved, nothing.
Alan: Yet another tactical shambles by McInnes. He consistently picks the wrong team formation against St Mirren. We are missing our three best players for a crucial derby match. Tuesday night was another big crunch match that this club has failed to win, there have been many of them over the years. We have a history of shooting ourselves in the foot and it looks like we're going to do it again. Wins against Hibs and Rangers are essential now but unlikely after that abject performance. They insist on doing things the hard way.
Sjm: Same old rubbish from McInnes. Team selection and tactics, why take of Alexandros Kyziridis and keep Kabore on? Pedestrian midfield and no recognised right-back, Michael Steinwender and Stuart Findlay proving liabilities, feel sorry for Craig Halkett dropped in it by Findlay. We never at any point looked like beating the second worst team in the league who've only one one game in their last eight games. We'll win nothing under McInnes.
