I think Simon Murray would be a good signing and we were linked with him in the summer.

Got a bit of pace and trickery.

He can't even get in their team

They're going to drop plenty of points unless they sign well in this window. We need to show consistency now and take the 4pts and turn it into 6 or 7 points, then ten and more. These next two months could win us the league if United don't improve.

Also full credit to Neil Lennon - I'd said if he had failed to get at least four points in the last two games we might need to roll the dice on a new manager as four seasons in this league is unthinkable. Fair play- that's two victories, a great signing and promise that we're improving. Well done to the man who found himself under some pressure.

We're so much better than them, at the moment, but they're much better than other clubs in this league.

They'll not drop many points but hopefully they will continue to drop more points than us.

[Libby Hibby]

Honking tonight

[PompeyHibs]

Hibs are a better team than united

Lets hope Commons loan deal is extended

We can only get better as Commons, Humphreys and McGinn will keep getting better with games.
Still have a few injured guys to come back aswell

Basically this. Only our own ineptness stands between us and the flag.

[Jonnyboy]

So they're not the Barcelonaesque team some were suggesting they were?

[B.H.F.C]

They stole 4 points off us earlier this season.

They went under the radar until a few weeks ago. As soon as they came under a bit pressure they've s*** themselves and been found out.

[Andy74]

Not sure I'm following all this. They were clearly better in all ways about a week ago!

I know, surely they must have been missing Messi and such tonight 😁

[jacomo]

Think Marv's motm and their performance had something to do with each other, no?

And our back 4 looked great. We just didn't let them play.

[CMurdoch]

Hibs are an infinately better team especially as depth of squad goes.
Only Hibs mega inability to score in the first game at Easter Road allowed them to take a point

Our late winner on Saturday, their consequent loss to Dumbarton and kicking tonight has now finished their chances of getting near Hibs.

They will get to the play off final and probably lose before getting promoted as Champions next season.

They have no depth of squad at the moment.
Cammy Bell, Toni Andrieu and Simon Murray are decent players but there is no budget for more quality.

Presume Murray was missing tonight through injury or suspension

Blair Spittal seems to have dropped off and along with big Obadeyi was on the bench.

Like all teams that have come to Easter Road this season they don't carry a threat other than from set pieces.

I would not bet them to come this or next season very average and next year they will be worse.

Were absolute dog dirt tonight.

I wouldn't take any that were playing tonight. Who do you think would improve us?

The lad Fraser is excellent, he will go for big money, and of course Murray. Take the two of them in a heart beat

[Sir David Gray]

I said after the defeat at Tannadice that I was as confident as ever about going up after losing that night. I was unimpressed with Dundee Utd that night and although we were also poor, we were also without Fyvie, McGinn and Keatings and obviously hadn't signed Commons or Humphrey by that point.

After witnessing that tonight and considering that our BENCH consisted of McGinn, Shinnie, Keatings, Holt, Graham and Fontaine (all of whom would be first team regulars in any other Championship squad) and we've still to get Fyvie and Marciano back from injury, I honestly can't see past us for the title.

Seeing how poor we made Dundee Utd look tonight, I would be devastated if they beat us to promotion.

Fraser would be a great signing.

[Hibee Mac]

Hibs at full strength are far and away a better team head to head.

They are clearly a team build solely to win games against the smaller teams like they have done up till last week. That's their only chance at challenging and its a tough ask for them to keep it up.

I'm comfortable after today that if we can perform against your raiths/Ayr's of this league then we'll go up.

Out of curiosity, who would you drop in our team to accommodate him. I think he looks average in a really poor side. He would warm our bench at best when all our players are fit.

I dont think commons, shinnie and potentially mcginn will be with us next season. Still question marks about Dylan being able to play for 30 games a season. I think we will be looking for midfielders as well as cover.

[CentreLine]

Given the way they play I think their crime count will have a big influence on their end of season matches. If they would stick to what they are good at rather than the physical stuff they would be a better team imho

[HibbySpurs]

Thought they were very poor tonight, they froze totally for the first 20 & couldn't live with us at any point.

Good header to clear from SDG in the first half and save from Laidlaw in the second are the only two real chances I can recall them creating.

They spent the game chasing shadows mostly. Best performance by Hibs of the season IMO and the great thing about it is the team stood up and did it under pressure in front of a big crowd.

Confident now that we'll go on from here and win this league

[sbell1875]

They created one chance the entire game, other than that they were very poor.

How they've taken 4 points off us this season is beyond me because we've outplayed them in all 3 games.

No better than Stanton for me. Many goals has he scored this season? It's not that tough to keep the ball without ever doing anything meaningful

As for those talking about Murray, must be joking. Keatings in 10 times the player and he can't get a game for Hibs

No.

I think people pointed out that a few weeks back, even with Hibs top, Utd had performed better against expectations, budgets etc this season.

If you'd told me in August Hibs would be 4 points clear on January 6th I wouldn't be impressed. Doesn't mean I'm not confident we'll go on to skoosh it now

[Pete]

When the teams lined up before kick off I looked at United who were almost standing stock still. They looked organised and determined and I thought that we would be in for a real game.
More the fool me for thinking that because when the match started they looked nervous, jittery and it's almost as if the pressure of the occasion got to them.
Even when they did relax a bit and their midfielders started to put their foot on the ball they constantly ran into brick walls and eventually got frustrated.

In short, they bottled it tonight and McKinnon has a test of his managerial skills on his hands. He'll pick them up and get them going again but we have to render that irrelevant by continuing on our path.

They were and are absolutely pish. Fully expect us to pull away and extend our lead now.

As predicted of course

According to one red top rag today... This was a game between two Massive clubs!?!? Utter sh#te.... Dear oh dear.

[0762]

Can't take anything away from Lennon and the team tonight. They got the game plan spot on and Dun Utd were not at the races.
In fact a Utd mate I met for a beer after the games view was that their best hope was the payoffs.

Think the Cabbage have a well earned weekend off for probably the best 90 mins I've seen this season.

I on the other hand would take one of their lot. Their number 14 - the big defender, was immense for them. I had fellow Hibbies around me agreeing that he was having a great game. Though, with the form of Hanlon and McGregor, I'm not sure he would instantly displace either, but for sure, he would be a great addition to our squad - on the proviso that he performs like this regularly.

[Dashing Bob S]

Showed tonight that we are by the best team and strongest squad in that division. What we now have to prove is that we're the most consistent.

I'd really like to see us make a statement at Dumbarton next week. Dundee United lost there and we've occasionally struggled over the last couple of seasons against them. Let's really do the business and let United have a nervy one at home to QOS coming off two defeats and poor performances.
