Unless we bring in a top notch LCB im guessing it will be Keown + Devine and Barton will drop in once were 4-0 up by the 1st half Only bothered about Swanson, hopefully we stick the boot in early and he loses interest.

Dudu Dahan pal Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Lennon tactically outwitting wee Archie. Hopefully he learns from his experience coming up against a top top side and a Champions League level manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Great attacking performance from Hibs, we were great for a sixth of the game but then we seemed to be second to everything. Fucked off to the Mash Tun after Hibs went 3-1 up. Still pished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 'N Yellow Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 We started well enough but thought Hibs strolled it after their first goal and we only really got back into the game when they took their foot off the gas after the third goal. Even if he isn't the most glamorous player, I thought that Murray would be a good signing for Hibs. Seen him a few times and always puts in 100%, did the same yesterday. There was clearly a huge gulf in squad strength, Hibs could afford to leave Stokes on the bench and were able to bring on a couple internationalists later on whilst most of our subs were 20 or under, didn't even bother with a 3rd sub as it would have been pointless. Stating the obvious but we're still short and the manager knows this, the striker we bring in better be worth the wait, Azeez has been away for about a month and we still haven't replaced him. Plus side is that it was a brilliant day out, usually a great away day but even better with the festival on. Good crowd for the game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumdog35 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I thought we looked a bit off the pace for the first 10 minutes but after that dominated the game. Looking forward to castle greyskull next week too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 As much as I naturally want Hibs to be shite (), it's great to see that sort of crowd at Easter Road yesterday and hopefully it's maintained. Ironically, it's a shame that we're the ones who are currently fucking shit - as if we were in a better state on the park, this would be the healthiest football in Edinburgh has been since the 2005-2007 mini golden period.

Crawford Bridge Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 It's went under the radar a bit just how good the Hibs midfield has been for the past two seasons, what with being in the diddy leagues and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the injuries we've had im hoping our c**t of a performance was down to that and when every 1s fit We are a lot better. However what i did say was the player that worried me was Simon Murray that boy is something else. Work rate and fitness wise I see him high on the scoring charts this season just for sheer effort.

Zing. Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 See Osman tweeted that he "did well to keep his cool yesterday". Is this the first time that anyone has had the cheek to give him a game like McGinn did? He looked distinctly average up against our midfield.

He looked off the pace in the LC game against St Mirren as well. Usually starts the season slow, but that was an uncharacteristically poor performance yesterday, which probably is a testament to McGinn's ability. I'd guess the keeping his cool comment was relating to the way in which the referee pretty much lost control of the game, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seemed to have some of their best performances in recent years against Premiership clubs in the cups. Guys like Bartley and McGinn certainly prefer a high tempo, end to end game rather than playing in front of 10 or 11 players. Hopefully this league just suits them more. Someone mentioned unpredictability earlier and I think the addition of Swanson is the main difference there. Always felt I could map out Hibs' next five passes in the last few years. With Swanson making late runs into the box or taking it into feet in attacking positions, everything's a bit more fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
