Chefki Kuqi Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Who would of thought that the solution to our midfield woes was to actually reduce the headcount and play the silkiest players who's boots have ever graced the Cinch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Newell has games like last night in his locker but has never been consistent with it over a long period of time. Probably why he’s at Hibs right enough. I do think his end to last season was very good though and he appears to have carried it forward to this season. Given LJ plenty stick (I’d argued he’s deserved it) but he got it spot on last night. Obita for Youan was a very good sub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Think ALF has been the difference, completely changed the game after coming on against St Mirren, just too little too late. Last night we looked commanding throughout his time on the pitch. Seems to have everything in his locker, can hold it up and bring others into play, can run, can score goals, fit as a fiddle etc. Some of his flicks and headers last night I've rarely seen, it's like having a playmaker up front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, you sometimes wonder if older players are just here to pick up a last paycheck, but if his time on the pitch is managed correctly, he will be a great asset. Very clever player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 While he's a different sort of player, there's the same vibes as Grant Holt with ALF. From now on, any Hibs manager who doesn't sign a veteran English forward who's a great lad to have around the dressing room will simply not get my support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHF-23 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 My favourite part of last night was the very clear message to "go out and be wee c***s" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Congratulations Hibees. I was impressed with your mob last night. Excellent chance of qualifying now. The new striker looks a player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarleyQuinn Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hibs were very impressive last night. Players like Max Meyers illustrate some serious quality in the Luzern team. All your new signings are showing Hibs have definitely improved over the summer. Boyle coming back too helps. I suspect you'll strengthen your defence in the remaining few weeks of the transfer window as you still look a little vulnerable at the back. It's always good sign after a decent result when your direct rivals are claiming you've overspent, all your new signings will be found out and they hope Boyle and co get injured. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I thought Hibs played well in spells and deserved the win, but i also think they rode their luck a bit and the dreadful defending at the third goal gave the result a sheen the performance didn't really merit. Was amazed how openly both teams played. Fancy Hibs to catch them a few times on the break over they but hopefully no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Hi guys. In August last year Ross McLean - a very good friend’s brother - committed suicide in Glenrothes. Ross was reported missing on August 14 and we searched for him for 5 days, before finding him at rest in a quiet wooded area near his home. Ross’ family are understandably devastated by their loss and that they were unable to help Ross, but are determined that for others in a similar position, there is help available. Ross was and his family are East Fife supporters, so we will be taking part in a charity 11s game to celebrate Ross’ life at Bayview a week today, with all funds raised for the fantastic charity - Back Onside. A just giving page has already raised nearly £5,000, and we have managed to secure signed strips for a number of clubs, Hibs being one. The strip is available below, and all money raised will go to Back Onside to help those who need it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364414723977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=az5yphsksue&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ec0uwzxiswu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY There is also a donations page, if you’d like to donate anything: https://www.justgiving.com/page/matchforross Edited August 13, 2023 by Hank Scorpio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I’ve always given managers the benefit of the doubt, I’ve advocated for them staying through rough patches (probably for too long in some cases). I think the modern knee jerk tendency to sack them is abominable. But Lee Johnson is not a good manager. I think he needs to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 If we lose on Thursday I think the support will turn on him (if they haven't already). The chop is inevitable for Johnson I feel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Reluctant to get straight back on the hate train after Thursday night which was one of the more enjoyable nights I've had at ER but deary me that was dull. Then it was dreadful. I still think give it the first full round of fixtures, Johnson's turned it round from awful positions before but you'd like to think we might not have to get into these awful positions to begin with and another manager might make us consistently better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
