I thought Swanson was fine today, definitely not the worst on the pitch.

I think that's a lot of matey wishful thinking, with no regard to a cohesive midfield like last week.
Apart from not changing a buzzing team from last week, what was the thinking here? Swanson, who I don't rate, was in front of Mcginn & Mcgeoch, & for me that midfield was as unbalanced & uncohesive as I've seen in a good while. Bearing in mind 3 of those mids were involved in a good away win at grey skull; for me, easily, 1 new weak link. But all you who ken Danny wilnae have that. Does not fit in to this team for me.

Danny is class, but he might need time to settle. Like others have said, some of the greats in football don't don't set the Heather on fire until later on in there first season. I remember watching drogba's first season for Chelsea and wonder why anyone would pay that kind of money for a **** player. And then is second season was insane!!!!

You can tell he's just desperate to score for us and sometimes that means he makes the wrong decisions when he has the ball.
It doesn't make him a bad player though.

He nearly took his seat of the hinges when he was hooked. He knows he was rank yesterday and Lennon didn't even look at him when he came off the field. Not a chance he's anywhere near the first team next week. Needs a few weeks out IMO.

Danny was no better or worse than the other 11 starters yesterday.
We lost the game because Lennon was all over the shop tactically. Starting with 3-5-2 then moving to a 4-4-2 and changing a winning team from last week,putting barker on at left wing then at right wing ,bringing off your captain and main centre half , bring on big Davvy and going route one , Stokes playing in some daft false wing back position , dropping Slivka and then bringing on Barker who's hardly kicked a ball ahead of him as the first sub.
Lennon has had plenty deserved plaudits and he needs to take it when he gets it wrong and today he had no answer, apart from ranting and raving on the touch line , to hamiltons fairly basic style of football.Last edited by Since90+2; 20-08-2017 at 09:04 AM.

I'm not his biggest fan from what I'd seen of him up to this point. However, I thought he was more than decent in the first half and by no means as bad as most of the others in the second half. I wouldn't have subbed him and although we were already a goal down and not playing well, we totally lost the plot when Swanson and McGregor went off.

I could be in the wrong but isn't he a left midfielder.

you'd stop him from doing some media work at some big European games? Firstly, he probably doesn't miss any training to do so, and even if he did, you think being present everyday makes him the best manager? if we had won yesterday no one would care - and neither they should.

Probably contracted for that work and lets face it track record with Hibs managers wise to keep it as an option. Raises Hibs national profile so not all bad. He has a trusted number 2 in fact a management team. A good manager knows how to delagate.
I've seen little of him winding up The Rangers cool as milk responses to the hopeful feeding frenzy.

We have a comprehensive staff in place and a fairly high-profile assistant in Garry Parker - I'm sure Lennon knows he can trust these guys in his absence.
The best of teams shrug off defeats. We had a bad day yesterday in all departments - the manager wasn't great, we defended badly, we lost the midfield battle and didn't offer enough up front.
We need not look for anything that isn't there, and turn a drama into a crisis.

I like Swanson, in the first half against Hamilton he crossed for 2 of Murray's chances and had one decent attempt himself,If that is an off day what does it say for the rest of the team!
He is creative, can beat a player, has passing and shooting ability, worth his weight in gold in this league.

I suspect with the comments from NL after the game re complacency and the way he hooked him and didn't even make eye contact means NL is a little frustrated with him in particular. End of the day, he was put in ahead of Slivka who had every right to start and was dyre (along with most others).
