    Neil Lennon

    Spoke to him at the AGM, the guy is a winner, but more importantly he is happy at Hibs. Great times to be a Hibee.

    Lennon has really grown into his role at Hibs, is tactically astute and able to drive / motivate the team for big matches. You sense this team will continue to get better under Lennon.

    Wrong team started today but to be fair to him, not many would bring on Shaw ahead of Murray so he deserves credit for that. Hopefully the end of the stokes upfront on his own thing, it doesn't work. Go 2 up on Wednesday night and take the game to them from the off.

    I love lenny but he started with the wrong team 2day...should have started 3 at back and 2 up top - as we finished the match

    The team did better than I thought it would considering the starting line up. Stokes up front of his own was never going to work. Hope Lennon now realises that and can come of with a formation that suits the personnel. Against the The Rangers I think we have to go for today's finishing back four or a 3 at the back with Boyle wide right. He can't start Whitts again until he is fit and should never have played him today.

    I think we need a banner in the east saying "STOKES UP TOP ON HIS OWN NEVER WORKS!!!" otherwise I don't see Lennon ever realising it himself. Same story as Hampden, Shaw and Stokes up top together and we look a better side instantly.

    Bit off topic but I thought Rodgers’ post match comments were curmudgeonly and graceless.

    Maybe all the armchair managers, who have millions of hours of experience on FIFA, should phone Neil. Tell him, despite his team being in the top four and unbeaten against the champions elect this season, exactly where he is going wrong. 😁

    That's a bit unfair... he's just trying to blend in with the support

    I didn't think the first half or the starting lineup was that bad.

    We kept it tight enough and prevented a very strong side from creating very much at all, their best first half chance was gifted to them.

    He needed to change it at half time though and we were appalling for 20 minutes after the break.

    I can't really comment on what happened after that as I left on 65 minutes. I thought it was going to be 5 or 6, so great credit to Lennon for turning that around.

    Just because we got a bit of joy when we threw caution to the wind at the end doesn't necessarily mean we should have started that way, although I thought we invited Celtic onto us early in the second half and we got exactly what we deserved for that.

    He effectively tells himself. That is the third or fourth game where we have went a couple down and changes made have completely changed the game. Today he changed his mind due to injuries as Murray was ready to come on. How Whitts took so long to be subbed is a mystery to me.Stokes cannot play on his own up front particularly in a game where the opposition will have the bulk of possession.

    He's bad for not having the team set up right at the start of a game but he's very good at changing things so it's not a huge issue.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    The Rangers are a different proposition to what we faced today, but I actually agree with you.

    Why would you leave at 2 nil?? I just don't get this at all...the team deserve our support

    He’s got it spot on in practically every game this season.

    Listen to his post match interviews when we drop points and he calls it right every time. He sees the problems and fixes them.

    Today was another prime example of him switching things up when it wasn’t going well.

    We’re going to get better and better the longer he’s with us.

    Might be better switching it up before we go 2 goals down. He deserves credit for the changes today, albeit injuries enforced some of them, and the other times we have started poorly and got back into games but surely he must also take some of the responsibility for being 2 down. Lennon is doing a good job but that doesn't make him untouchable.

    We have drawn twice with a team unbeaten in 68 domestic games. The only team to score 2 against them in 3 games.

    Celtic have nailed Rangers 5-1 twice last year, knocked 3 past Aberdeen and 4 past Hearts.

    Apart from giving them a chance with a wayward pass in the first half I thought the tactics worked well. Celtic will pass waiting on some charging out which we never did.

    Think we must remember we were drawing with Morton away last December.

    Great idea - go hell for leather against Celtic from the off and get beat 5-0 and be totally down for our match against Rangers.

    Course if you are not actually managing Hibs then of course you will win both games 5-0, - stands to reason.

    Nothing worse than people talking as if they 'know' when in actual fact they "don't know".

    I am delighted that Neil Lennon is Hibs manager and I hope he stays as long as possible.

    Great time to be a Hibby

    I rate Lennon much more highly now than I ever did when he was at Celtc. I felt at that time he was winning by virtue of having the advantages of being at an Old Firm team rather than as result of his managerial capabilities.

    At Hibs, he's definitely showing that there is substance to his reputation. We will undoubtedly have bad games and results under Lennon, because at our price range that's what you get, but they're less frequent than we might expect and we're very fortunate to have him.

    Long may it continue.

    I thought that was the point of being on the net, to talk to each other and give our opinions, being unhappy with the line-ups comes into that I would think.

    For me he sums the game up honestly and perfectly on BBC scotland sport web side.
