Well done lads

Superb result

Sinclair and Allan may have edged infront of the heff, there confidence must be high

Very good win indeed and god to see some impressive performances, McBride seems to be making them tick.

Hibs were superb in spells today. Their work ethic and defensive work was what impressed me the most. Mirrored the recent revival of the first team. The shape was excellent and even when the left hand side of the back four changed everyone knew their jobs.

The midfield, though, was what really stood out for me. All the players interchanging and moving all over the place, making it very hard to defend against. When required though they all worked extremely hard to get back behind the ball and make challenges thwarting possible chances for United. Good job and apologies for a long winded post but impressive stuff from the young Hibees.

I'm enthused by Lewis Allan. Boy's excellent for his age

Great result considering it was only 48 hours since many of the team played 120 mins at Pittodrie. Well done boys, we're getting there!

They are playing a diamond formation in the middle. Wing backs with 2 up front. Jake Sinclair must have read the comments about him as he has upped his game

Much the same then, thanks for letting me know. Should make it easier for players to step up to the main team.

Good to see that Stubbs has the U20 playing the same system as the 1st, a bit of continuity finally at our club re football tactics.

Leeann starting to deliver on one of the main issues she thought was wrong at the club ,namely the Dissconnect Between Academy and First Team and how that is bridged Billy stark commented recently on the new position Handlimg was playing in the under 20s set up ,and since then he has been in First Team and Stark clearly thought that this was an exciting development and was going to be naming him in his squad for Scotland under 21 s .
The transformation in style of play and results seems very tangible and folk also commented on teams general fitness v Aberdeen and days later some of these same players are turning over a team with a good youth set up itself ,so maybe the Backroom changes are starting to have a positive impact

Was also good to see all the 1XI staff at the game and big Farid was down too in a pair of the worst trainers known to man (and that is no exageration...even Darren Jackson was slagging him and you've seen his threads!)
What I've also noticed is there are quite a few lower league teams represented at these games, potentially trying to pick up the odd loan deal in Jan. Lewis Allan looks very good and it would be interesting to how he would do if farmed out on loan.
Decent wee crowd considering it was a 3.30pm kick off, over 100 at the game.
