I'm comparing them because I think it's unfair that Cummings is getting criticised and Keatings is the answer when in reality he's just the same but with less goals.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

We were screaming out for someone who could take a shot from distance, because Stranraer where just packing out the box whenever we got into their half.
I thought Stanton should have come on for Henderson after about 70 minutes, he would have had loads of time and space.

Missed that last season as well. Another thing Hearts had last season - when teams come and sit in you need to draw them out.

i think the both of them together will give us a more dynamic front two, it could make a big difference. Dom could be the best of the bunch, but it's down to application - and if he had it at a top consistent level - he would be playing higher level than us. He doesn't have the work rate and consistency that we need. it's as if he doesn't quite "care" enough.

Cant judge Keatings and farid is never going to be fit for a full season. We need a consistent performer up front.

A win's a win and that's the most important thing, particularly in a cup game but we really need to adapt to cope with playing against teams who sit in and defend for 90 mins.
With the exception of Sevco, every team we play this season will adopt this tactic against us and we need to find a way to overcome it.

In the hat for the next round that is the main thing - Oxley made a terrific stop, fair play after my criticism.
Hamilton, Dundee and Partick all bowing out to lower league opposition - Hearts and 'Well needing extra time.
Wee bit of perspective required in cup ties at times - it's their finals and they raise their game. That said I want Hibs to have more pace and urgency for longer periods, not 10 minutes here and there. The game management needs to be far far better. Try and win games in 60 minutes, which means hard hard work in the first 45 to build a lead. We are far too quick to get into a possession game rather than a direct game in the first 20 minutes. Early goals change the whole dynamic of a game and we need to be far more direct in the opening quarter for me. Our mental side to a game is still fragile - building early leads will change that.

For a 10 minute spell after the goal we moved the ball quickly and well and you could see the difference it made, we looked much, much more affective and for a minute the 'crowd' got into it. Unfortunately we need to play like that for 70 minutes, not 10.
For the most part we were too slow and ponderous, no guile on show to make chances and no shots from outside the box. We made it far too easy for Stranraer to get organized at the back.
WTF is wrong with 442? ....... You don't need fancy formations against 10 men behind the ball.

It was frustrating stuff, but i think any team should be given the time to build momentum, thats so important.
at the moment we can almost see there's a cracking team in there somewhere
for me its a confidence thing with them, which manifests itself in slow, pedestrian play with a lack of pace or urgency.
by hook or by crook if we can get a few wins i think this team will really take off and we'll see some quality football...
...in the meantime hold on to your hats!!

As an aside, never seen so much west coast bias by a referee. Some shocking decisions!

I wish we'd lost now, all this moaning is spoiled by the fact we won the game.

We won, and have a nice home tie to look forward to. 3 SPL teams went out, whilst 2 won AET. A win is a win......Cup is all about getting through
