They say the league table never lies, but I'm sure you'll be able to make an argument that it does in our case (i.e. - lots of luck, poor opposition strikers, etc, etc) .

Pathetic fainthearted drivel
You want some evidence that Yogi HAS got a clue???
1) better points total after 30 games than after 38 games last season.
2) the signing of players like Stokes and Miller.
3) despite hitting a massive dip in form we're still well in the hunt for Europe.
That's some good solid indisputable pieces of EVIDENCE for you.
I'll admit that Yogi is not all things to all men and probably has got lessons to learn in football management. But to write him off as you have after less than a season in the job and after making such an excellent start is nothing short of astounding. Just glad the club isn't run by idiots like you or we'd have a new manager every 6 months and be permenantly in division 3.

Take Webster out of the United team and where would they be? They've conceded tons of goals when he hasn't played. eg their games v Rangers, the first time they've conceded less than three was the replay in the week when the Huns played half a team of youths. And taking him out of their team is far more realistic than taking Stokes away from Hibs, given that he's only on loan and will probably be playing regularly for the Huns next season.
More to the point, if Hibs hadn't signed Stokes in the first place, I would wager that Yogi would have used far more negative tactics this season. It wouldn't make much sense playing Riordan wide left if it was only two from Nish, Benji and Byrne playing as the two main strikers. Given that Stokes has played every game since signing, the only evidence to go on is the first game against St. Mirren. He played a fairly orthodox 4-4-2 that day with Nish and Riordan in attack. (tactics were altered somewhat later on as St. Mirren were down to 10 men)

The point I was making about flair football is this. Many Hibs supporters have this thing about us playing flair football yet most of us watching these days have seen Hibs play such football in nothing other than fleeting spurts. A few seasons under Eddie Turnbull (and even he couldn't sustain it). Maybe one each under Miller, McLeish & Mowbray and a half season under Collins.
We haven't played consistent flair football since the days of the Famous Five.
We'd maybe all like to see it, me included, but the point I was making was that I want to see Hibs win games first and foremost, not that I particularly want to see them do it every week in grind it out fashion. Yesterday for me was all about winning the game in the current climate. We did so and that's fine for now.
Others have poined out the "winning ugly" discrepancy in your viewpoint so I won't go into that.Last edited by PC Stamp; 28-03-2010 at 11:09 AM.

I was at the Ross county game and that was as bad as it gets, so if I’m an idiot for saying Yogi hasn't got a clue how to get us out off this mess and you spout on about him making an excellent start which I agree because we were flying no question but team performances have been dire for MONTHS and Yogi hasn’t got the answer because if he did we wouldn’t be relying on the generosity off other teams to quartering chance after chance in front off goal.
Reading other people comments who were at the Falkirk game we were lucky out played during game for long spells by the bottom team in the SPL after the farce of the Hears and Ross County games so please tell me I’m interested really what has Yogi learned
So if you and others want to make personal remarks then please have the decency tell me and others on this site what we are clearly missing because the fans are staying away in Numbers’ why do you think that is ?

Not all teams that win by a goal deserve to win, but surely when you win by at least a couple, you deserve to win? Isn't about scoring goals, not about creating chances?

If we are still seeing the same things this time next season, then we will have problems, but 8 months is no time to build a team.

For a man who spent a lifetime playing football I would be shocked if I knew about football than him but saying that' it doesnt make him a great manager.

Like all Hibs fans I want to speak about the positive things that are happening on field but there isn’t any in my opinion.
We can bring in new players in the summer and offload the dead wood but you cant buy tactical awareness’ if Yogi went out a bought Lionel Messi he would play him in Goals.
I don’t get how a player can be great one week and poor the next ’ its clear when you see the shape of the team its wrong and that’s surly down to the Manager.

It may be a difficult phenomenon to explain but it is a very commonly occurring one. It could almost be said to be one of the fundamental laws of football.Last edited by sahib; 28-03-2010 at 02:17 PM.

Spot on PC, at no point sitting in the stand yesterday in the second half did i think wee were clinging on to our lead in the last 45mins, okay they had there chances but never took them but i felt if the team wanted to move up a gear to get another goal wee could have done so, jee whizz, Hibs won 1-3 away from home and some Hibs fans are still moaning about anything they can about the team.

So what HAS Yogi learned? I'd say for one thing he's learnt something about the mental and physical resilience of the team as a whole - something which sadly doesn't currently match the footballing talent in the side, and something which sadly can't be changed overnight.
There's some aspects of Yogi's stewardship which I also struggle to understand - if I was in his shoes I'd probably be using the subs earlier and would have tried Bamba in the midfield holding role before now for example. But does that mean that I'm all right and he's all wrong???
I'm big enough to admit that i DON'T have all the answers - and that Hughes - the manager who's managed to make the signings and build and organise the team who are currently challenging for Europe - will have his own reasons and philosophies for making the decisions he has done.
Hughes undoubtably has his own strengths and weaknesses - as any manager does. In my opinion his strengths far outweigh his weaknesses and he will come good again before this season is out. I'm not certain that we'll end up in 3rd place - this wed's game may go a long way to deciding that - but I'm fairly certain that we'll be able to look back on this season as a major improvement on the two that went before.
You asked me what you and others are missing - well, if you ask me that can be summed up in one word - perspective. If you're making a judgement on Hughes then make it in comparison to what went before and have the patience and forebearance to make that judgement over the course of a season rather than over a particular good or bad spell.

Although I was firmly of the opinion that Yogi really didn't know what to do about our situation over the last couple of months, and that he was doing pretty well bugger all to change it, this audio interview was quite different from his usual diatribe, the jokey attitude was definitely missing, and I thought he held his corner well and even though he still used one or two 'the boys done well' kind of comments he genuinely sounded like somebody who has hardened up and is ready for a fight. Just my opinion of course, but for those who haven't heard it I would suggest you listen now, because this is a quite different response from him to the one's we're used to hearing.

I just wish that whatever we think of yogis tactics that everybody would get behind yogi and the boys on wednesday.We are 2 points off europe and all yogi seems to get is criticism.We are all entitled to our opinion but surely we would have taken this league psoition at the start of the season.

This messageboard hasn't been the same since we stopped blaming the Tache for everything under the sun. Where'd the Rod hate go?
