The other of the four goals was scored by Stephen O'Donnell, who made his first start of the season in last week's 0-0 draw against Kilmarnock. That day we had a five man midfield, and with us probably resorting to a 4-4-2 at home, it's likely he'll get dropped to the bench as Saints boss Gus MacPherson is likely to go with the defence minded Hugh Murray and Gary Mason in the middle. It's a pity, as O'Donnell is really our only attack minded central midfielder and hasn't really done anything wrong. He's certainly a better option than either Garry Brady or Richard Britain in my view.
As has become the norm, Ian Maxwell, Craig Dargo, Craig Molloy and Eddie Malone will all be missing with injury. Alan Reid can be added to the list and he looks likely to miss a few games. Reid's absence means that Franco Miranda will probably return at left back, with Mark Corcoran at left midfield. The rest of the team will probably be the same as last week - in fact it wouldn't be a surprise to see us once again go with one up front at home.
Hearts suffered a terrible start to the season - even failing to beat Gretna - but seem to have been improving in recent weeks. The most worrying thing as far as I'm concerned is Vladimir Romanov. The mad chairman can usually be relied upon to give us a couple of comedy rants via the Hearts website, but here we are - nearly two months into the season - and we haven't heard a word from him. Very strange. Fortunately, Hearts managerial situation is still a bit odd. Stevie Frail seems to be assistant but is trotted out to talk to the press, while a committee of three or four seems to decide team selection, formation, substitutions and things like that.
On the player side of things, Hearts have some talented youngsters like Andrew Driver and Calum Elliot, although the latter was fairly poor while on loan at Motherwell last season. They also, as usual, have several million Lithuanians - although it would be amusing if the Lithuanian defender who has been on trial at Love Street this week made an appearance for us tomorrow.
We're struggling for goals at the moment, and I think that will continue tomorrow. Hearts will win 2-0.
