@RobertMitchell_: “That is one of the worst performances I’ve seen from hearts in a while and that’s including last season! Score line was harsh on the pars they could of easily had 5 or 6.”

@2019Hmfc: “Wtf was that, flat footed AF - pathetic performance against a team we should be challenging.”

@crynie1: “How's Boyce play International football and how slow is Naismith.”

@pixl8d_: “The big names didn't show up tonight, except Michael Smith ofcourse, that goes without saying.”

@Paphos_16: “Tippy, tappy, slow, sideways, backwards. Utter bore.”

@calum_mcd4: “P*** poor performance. Never looked comfortable and sick of seeing players trying stupid fancy flicks that concede possession time and time again.”

@brianfdouglas: “Same old away crap EVERY season. No confidence we can gain promotion this season. Can’t get the basics right. Alloa at home on Tuesday....3 points isn’t guaranteed by any means.”

@scotty2442: “Boyce had a stinker, probably needed rested after playing on Wednesday. And Jordan Roberts & Popescu are both awful, seen nothing of both of them this season to think otherwise. Smith the only one that looked interested tonight.”

@barrett_steve: “Guilty of overplaying when simple options were on. Poor performance and although I think Dunfermline looked decent, that was a very winable game with even an average performance. A night to forget and a kick up the a**.”

@jambodave81: “Defence were shocking, 2nd to every ball and simply not good enough. Wighton and Boyce shouldn’t have bothered playing tonight. Embarrassing display against a team that we should be beating.”
