@HeartsTillWeDie: “Michael Smith fantastic. Gino brilliant. Hill, that throw. Great performance from every player on that pitch. And to have options on the bench – wow. Seven clear ain’t half bad. All about Sunday now.”

@heartsfc74: “Chuffed to bits for Michael Smith. Has had his fair share of critics recently. Whether it has been merited or not, they guy came out and composed himself professionally. What a touch and what a finish! Not bad for a right back.”

@ThisMyStoryPod: “Toby Sibbick. What a turnaround. Defensively he is solid. Wins headers. Wins tackles. Takes the ball in dangerous areas and moves it into midfield well. A player that was on the canvas in October. Superb from Sibbick. What a player.”

@CraigSt45007741: “Bit ropey first 15 but settled after the first goal. Sibbick again outstanding. Hill looked great again. Happy to see Kingsley back. Also thought Grant was really good should have scored, but overall a great performance.”

@and95717641: “What a fantastic win and display of football. I like this formation. It seems to work for us and is difficult to play against. Well done all.”

@lauriedunsire: “I have to confess, I totally underestimated Shankland. Thought he was just a poacher, but his all-round contribution has been immense. Holds the ball up, links play & also gets his share of goals. Striker, winger, number 10, central midfield; he's been moved all over the place!”
