We were poor today it reminded me of performances before the derby i.e to slow and side ways without taking the game to the opposition and not pressing the ball high enough up the park. The really frustrating thing for me with Harris,Handling,Stanton,Cummings etc having watched them consistently over the years out perform and beat the same Hearts youngsters that are running away with the league is that none of them look good enough playing at this level. I cant help think that the difference between their youngsters and ours is the experienced pros that we've surrounded these guys with. Not one leader to talk and direct them through games or carry them a bit when the chips are down. Our captains form and confidence is so bad is it any wonder our youngsters cant make the step up which means when we are missing 2 or 3 key players we are going to struggle imo

Thing that annoys me is that in the second half of games against Livi, Falkirk, Raith, Dumbarton, Hearts and now QOTS we have barely created a chance never mind a goal.
Only thing I can think of to change that is kick towards the North in the first half.

Utter garbage. Disgraceful that we're so far off top spot and the ****bos have pretty much won the league.
Disgusting.

Queens goalie had 3 saves in the first half when he parried the ball in front of him.Not once was anyone following up.If you don't know to follow a shot in how can you be a pro footballer?

Harris, Handling and Kennedy ranged from poor to absolutely awful and the same goes for the replacements. It's hard to win a game with 8 players.
We didn't let them have a shot on target so at least there's one minor positive.

Suarez, Sturridge and Sterling made Liverpool look positively pedestrian when Chelsea parked the bus. How can you attack a team with pace when they always have practically their entire team behind the ball? Kennedy was doubled up on every time in the first half, irrespective of which wing he was on. We were screaming our for Malonga today, and really missed him. His ability to hold the ball up with players round him and lay the ball off was something that Jason hasn't got yet. Also, Malonga makes intelligent runs to create space in behind him whereas Jason was happy to chase after any balls fired up front. But he's young and that will come with time, something we have to give this team. There will be more frustrations like this one today, but when we have a full squad on the park, we will have a good footballing side. I'm disappointed we didn't get the win today, but I'd never go as far as to say we were brutal. Teams that get everyone behind the ball do so for a reason - they will never take you on at the game of football. Visiting teams have a lot of respect for us - shame some of our supporters don't.

No plus points from another home draw I'm afraid.

Spoke to a ex Hibs player after the game and this was spoken about, think it was Cummings who just stood there when a shot was fired at the goalie, the player said you should be making the run towards the goalie as soon as the other player has had the shot as you just never no if the goalie will spill it or not, you have to take the gamble and follow up when another player shoots.
Pointless just standing there stuck in the headlights.

Whatever it is they HAVE to be hungry in front of goals. They should smell blood the minute they see a team sitting back and bust a gut to add to their tally.
Disappointing stuff hearing that.

All the creativity was down to Allan and given what was at stake was a one nil win too much to expect

Why is everyone going on about the players we had missing!!! Oxley is missing but the young keep done great. Malonga was brought in for cover for El Alugui so we can only count one of them missing really as both wouldnt play together. Back 4 played fine with forster missing, robertson isnt amazing IMO and isnt always picked anyway. Player we missed today was McGeouch.
The issue today was that lack of pace and urgency. Why is it that when we have a player running down the wing, the ball is passed to them where they are at, at point of pass causing the winger to stop, wait for the ball then start running again, why do we not play the ball in front of them so they keep the momentum????
We never dictated the pace of the game and put them under pressure. A few times we had a shot from distance with no one following it in when the keeper never dealt with it. We never chased down passes between their defenders and keeper enough. We had a ton of possession but no pressure.

Cummings should have stayed on and been given a chance go play in a 2. We should have dropped Stanton back into midfield and pushed Scott Allan off the front.

....I wonder what the guest family and friends of the military thought of the game, as it was hardly a thriller. lol

Harris, handling, Craig and Cummings are just not up to it in my opinion.

Boring game but the most depressing moment was actually when that announcer was doing his usual failed attempts at whipping up the crowd by saying several times that Hibs could go 3rd (in the championship FFS) if we won by '2 consecutive goals' (eh?!) as if we'd be in dreamland at the thought. Obviously we failed to, which rubbed it in a bit further.

? What do they offer? I would much prefer to see Lewis Allen and Sam Stanton get a game before them.
