Indeed, Livingston’s leveller came from a slack pass when Craig Halkett failed to find Islam Chesnokov on the right-hand side. <\/p>\n
Livi broke up their left and Cristian Montano’s cross found Lewis Smith, who slammed home at the back post.<\/p>\n
“The second goal is a ridiculous goal to lose, so we’re disappointed with that,” the Hearts head coach said. “You can’t keep pulling yourself off the canvas.<\/p>\n
“Half an hour to go, I wanted to try and carry a bit more threat in that but what you’ve got to remember is you’re up against a team at the bottom of the league and all of a sudden they’ve got something to hang on to.”<\/p>\n
After Celtic’s away win at Dundee, it is now Martin O’Neill’s side who have the best away record in the league. Rangers are behind them, with Hearts in third.<\/p>\n
The Jambos have only lost five games all season, but all of those defeats have come on the road – to Aberdeen, Hibs, St Mirren, Rangers and Kilmarnock.<\/p>\n
McInnes though, was keen to dispel the idea that going away to the likes of Rugby Park and Almondvale are an easy six points.<\/p>\n
“There’s no easy games in the league,” he said. We’ve had a poor 20 minutes at Kilmarnock really and got ourselves behind, but we didn’t do enough to win that game either. <\/p>\n
“The last couple we’ve been guilty of losing poor goals and not doing enough to win games. The game at St Mirren was 10 men [after Craig Halkett’s red card] and then we lose the game at Ibrox and I thought we were very good in the game.”<\/p>\n
“We’re going to have to be really strong with our home form as we have been all season but there’s no doubting that a couple of big results on the road wouldn’t do us any harm. That’s where we need to try and address it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Indeed, Livingston’s leveller came from a slack pass when Craig Halkett failed to find Islam Chesnokov on the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":383788,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-383787","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=383787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/383787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/383788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=383787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=383787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
