Alan Stubbs Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If there were ever a game where impressing the opposition's fans wasn't really a priority, it was this one. Promise we'll field a full strength team and put on the samba football carnival you were after next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This was a midweek game sandwiched between two big cup games against top flight opposition for Hibs. I'm not sure what people are expecting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conboyhibs Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 this game had Hibs 1-0 shitfest written all over it. Can't believe Morton haven't won a game in so long. Far more organised than Alloa, Livi, St.Mirren etc. Anyone know if big Fonts is alright? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I reckon we should have O'Ware and Lamie as out centre backs, although mistake last night notwithstanding Kilday has been decent at CB. o'Ware is good in the air and loses very few headers, whereas he's mediocre at best in midfield - why is he even in midfield anyway? Denny has been a major disappointment and if he thinks he has a future at Birmingham he's going to have to improve a lot. He has ability but he appears a bit lethargic and as for being a striker - more a midfielder I'd say. His finishing is woeful. Samuel should be on from the start. Not the biggest but he isn't afraid to mix it and he has searing pace which Denny lacks. I don't have the faith in Declan McManus that others seem to have - he was excellent last season but at a lower level - but he also has pace and chases lost causes. Nearly nicked a goal last night by chasing down the keeper and beating him to the ball. With a bit of luck he could have got the ball under control and scored, or been pulled down for a straight red for the keeper. i would start him and Samuel on Saturday and if Denny is still in the team play him deeper, behind the strikers, to try to fill that gap we always leave about 30 yards out from goal at both ends of the pitch. Hibs looked decent but we should have got a point from that at least - if we could create chances we would have. High balls into the area is not the way to do that and our set pieces are horrendously poor and predictable. Also need our midfield strengthened, and I would get Tidser on from the start as he is the nearest thing we have to a proper midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrshireTon Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Really frustrating stuff last night. Aside from Gaston's wonder save and a few trundling efforts, Hibs didn't look like scoring until we gifted them one. The real problem lay at the other end. Our crossing was awful, our corners and free kicks were awful and our final ball was awful. The goals for have dried up and we are still conceding - meaning that once we fall behind there is no way back. At Paisley we scored from a rebound, at Ibrox we scored through one OG and one piece of crap defending, against Raith we scored from a rebound, and we scored at Livi because it was Livi. We need to create more and learn to cross - sadly all basic stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 As far as I'm hearing, McManus wasn't bad. I wasn't sure that a striker was a big priority. All well and good having strikers, but it means nothing when we have f**k all creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
