    The turning point

    THAT save.

    Tough game today and an excellent victory. I feel when Deacon went off Dundee struggled.

    As good as save as I remember at ER. Nice to be on the side who can say a cracking save won us the match as it’s usually opposition goalkeepers stopping us.

    That's the best save I have ever seen.

    Everyone in the stadium was convinced that was a goal. How did he manage to get down so quickly?

    In a split second it was a certainty for 2-1 but miraculous save.ò

    Making saves is what goalkeepers are there for, but he had no right to get to that one. Game changer.

    Deacon coming off definitely worked in our favour. He was skinning stevenson. Then when he came off it got stevenson forward and he and hanlon over Lapping were fantastic

    Brilliant save. It was just about as good as scoring up the other end. Great to be talking about our keeper making a key contribution to our win today. Great stuff Rocky.

    That was the best save I have seen live and in person. I was in section 1 in the West, dead in line with the goal line. It looked a stunner from my vantage point, so from the FF or Dunbar it must have looked even better.

    I was right behind it in the south.

    Turned the game in our favour

    Breathtaking

    The turning point

    It was a great save and may have made it a different game but for me the turning point was Lennon changing the system to make sure we competed better in the middle of the park.

    Big kahunas to make 3 subs going on to the second half of which I haven’t seen much of from Hibs managers in the last while.

    Likewise. Absolutely incredible save and I’ve never seen anything like it in person.

    There’s a lot of good saves that get described as ‘great’.

    That one today was a genuinely world class save that I feel privileged to have seen, was as good a save as I’ve ever seen at Easter Road I think. Looking back it just doesnt make sense.

    Can’t wait to see it again.

    Funny there was a thread about the best saves you've seen from a Hibs keeper just the other day.

    I think we have a winner.

    Amazing save bit for a turning point, I think the rammy in the middle of the Park seemed to wake us up.

    Im in the West upper section 11 so got a cracking view - that was a nailed on certain goal until Rocky did an absolutely top top drawer save.

    Thats the value in signing a full international.

    Need to see it again.

    Tam McManus said it was an absolutely amazing save on the radio after the match too.

    Rocky's wee spell out has done him no end of good.
    He appears to be a man on a mission and a point to prove.
    Long may it continue.

    Unreal save at a crucial point in the game. Got down low lightening fast.

    Kudos to Rocky. In terms of how it influenced the game, it was the best save I’ve seen from a Hibs keeper for many a year.

    That said, the tactical and formation switch at half time was almost as influential, if not more important.
    The save was the catalyst to give us belief we could win the game and, but for several “overhit” crosses, the score line could have been a lot more comfortable.

    Getting to it was amazing, getting such a strong hand on it to keep it out was just unbelievable. It got us the 3 points today

    I've argued that Laidlaw should be in goal quite often before today but after the last couple of games I admit I was wrong.

    Absolutely fantastic save - not just the reflexes to get down in time but the strength to do more than just parry the ball.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.
