'Wrong line-ups, Critchley-esque football and devoid of any fire'

We asked for your thoughts after Hearts conceded a late equaliser against Kilmarnock to go four games without a win.

Here's a taste of what you had to say:

Jim: Lets start on a positive note, would all Hearts fans settle for being top of the league at this stage of the season? Of course we would. Most teams have a poor run of results at some point each season, so I hope we have had ours and we go to Celtic Park this weekend to re-assert our position at the top of the league. I think this month's matches will determine whether Hearts are to be taken seriously as Premiership contenders or just another team battling for third place.

David: We have lost our cutting edge. To have 17 shots at goal with only three on target says it all. There has to be a realignment of the squad in January, too many experienced players can't even get in a matchday squad, never mind sit on the bench. For instance do we really need six goalkeepers? Sunday is a huge game- let's hope the mindset and belief is where it needs to be.

Steve: Cammy Devlin once again gets pass marks, the rest? Regressing. Slow, back passing football, no cutting edge and a return once again to a slow midfield with no killer balls. Derek McInness has a wealth of new and exciting talent and we get Alan Forrest and Blair Spittal - both are not at the level of a team sitting top of the league. Concerning times.

Brent: Honeymoon is over now. This Hearts team should not be dropping two points to a team that has two wins in 15 games. No confidence going into the weekend against Celtic.

Frank: Teams have studied us and worked out strategies to snuff out the effectiveness of our front players. This will be a big challenge for McInnes. His team selected was simply not a patch on the team of the first 11 games of the season. Ok we've lost Beni Baningime but the squad is large and there should be alternatives.

Chris: You could hear a pin drop in the second half even after we had scored. The football is boring, predictable and saps the energy out of those hoping to enjoy exciting and high energy stuff. McInness and has "tactics" have been blown out the water. Wrong line-ups, [Neil] Critchley-esque football and a team devoid of any fire. I've seen this scenario play out before - it's gonna be a long, long month.
