00:03
Well, from one team with momentum to potentially the only other team in
00:08
the Premiership with more momentum, Barry, and that's Hearts.
00:12
3-2 against Dundee's a scoreline that was a bit of deja vu in that, of course.
00:18
But just what's the feeling?
00:20
You're obviously the Hearts reporter for the evening news.
00:22
What's the feeling like at Tyne Castle at the moment,
00:24
like just amongst the supporters?
00:25
Because it's almost like we're waiting for the wheels to come off and
00:29
they're just not, they just keep going like some kind of mad maroon juggernaut.
00:33
>> Yeah, mad's probably a good way to describe it because a lot of the games,
00:39
they start off very slowly.
00:42
They're getting overrun in midfield a little bit, and
00:45
in a few games now they've been behind.
00:46
But there's just that, there is that belief and that resilience there.
00:50
And you can sense it, not just from the players and the coaching staff, but
00:53
you can sense it in the stand as well.
00:55
That although they know maybe the first half's been poor,
00:57
they know that they'll come out in the second half and
00:59
they'll have a right good go at it.
01:00
And if they're not gonna get three points, they'll at least salvage a point.
01:03
And that was criticized.
01:05
I spoke to Steven Naismith about that, and he made the point that even when he was
01:10
a player at Hearts, that that lack of character was criticized at times,
01:14
quite a lot, rightly so at the time.
01:17
And so now it seems to be there in abundance, and
01:20
that isn't something that you could ever overlook and underestimate.
01:25
Because I think any good team has to have that sense of defiance and
01:30
fight when things, because the chips will be down and
01:32
things will go against you in football at different times.
01:35
And you have to have that sense of togetherness and
01:38
belief to try and dig yourself out of it.
01:40
And Hearts have certainly got that, the way they came back.
01:42
I think they were always in the game on Saturday, even at 1-0 down and
01:47
2-1 down, because they were getting forward and creating chances.
01:50
But they were exposed a little bit at the back, and
01:52
that's why Dundee managed to get a couple of goals.
01:54
But again, when you've got players, everybody talks about Shankland, and
01:59
Shankland's been terrific for Hearts, absolutely their best and
02:02
most influential player without question.
02:04
But not far behind them at the minute is Alan Forrest,
02:06
he's been absolutely terrific for a good five, six weeks now.
02:11
Regular assists, winning penalties, scoring goals,
02:17
just as you know, all around player, running at defenders, creating chances,
02:20
getting by people, getting to the byline, delivering crosses.
02:23
He's just taken his game to a whole different level, and
02:25
that's had a lot to do with the momentum that Hearts have built up
02:28
since mid-December, really.
