Bizarre game. We're annoyingly slow and lethargic at times. We've shown that when we turn it on we can do the business but we don't do it often enough. I'd like to see us start with a bit more urgency.
The defence needs a good bit of work in the summer. We can trundle on to the end of the season but just five clean sheets in 15 games is not very good.
Frear and Roberts are a couple of sorry excuses for wingers. As others have said surely Moore and Henderson deserve a run out ahead of them. Neither are world beaters but they must be able to offer more than the aforementioned pair. Give them a chance in the next few games.
I don't mind that honestly, was better than winning 2-0 tbh, obviously in the long run the defence needs to be sorted out but not going to complain with shree points and watching a 5-shree.

How? they are both shite I would say Roberts can whip a decent ball in and probably more capable or scoring a belter but Frear looks like one of them that would struggle to kick it 5 yards in front of himself.

We need two centre backs. We need a creative midfielder. We need a box to box midfielder. We need two wingers. We need a centre forward. We need pace. We need width. We need creativity. We seem workmanlike.

Quite enjoying this season in terms of actual football. Think we're kicking into gear attacking wise. Defensively shocking though. Would take a few of the players out of contract in the summer to improve that next season. Probably behind Aberdeen and Hibs in pecking order until we're definitely going back up.
The goals were well-taken and at the very least the side have shown they can respond when going behind. Halkett rose to the occasion in the final but was poor today, Berra's assist was as good as it was unexpected but he's now rubbish at his day job in the middle even at this level. Shame we never got Dikamona back as he'd have been just fine.
Frear and Roberts were shocking and neither should be anywhere near the starting 11 for Tuesday. We looked far more dangerous when Smith and Kingsley were given more freedom to get forward and in playing through the middle.
I'm not a fan of his but I thought Lee had a good game and it was good to see Boyce net for the third game in a row. Even with a shortened season Boyce should be looking to be the first Hearts player to crack 20 goals since Robbo.
