Hearts' recent Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Aberdeen and failure to secure a top-six place in the Scottish Premiership have raised concerns about the team's future and head coach Neil Critchley. John Robertson noted that the season has been characterized by missed opportunities, stating the team has often been very close to achieving their goals but ultimately failed. The game highlighted tactical difficulties due to key player injuries and dismissals. Pundits warn that fan discontent could turn Tynecastle into a toxic environment as the season unfolds.
"The first red, you couldn't really argue; the second, there's no intent from Devlin, he's just trying to hook the ball away... it looked like they would get to penalties."
"Close but not quite close enough, close to getting into the knock-out stages of the Conference League, close to getting into the top six, close to getting it to penalties today, but not quite close enough."
