So, I’m just back from Aberdeen, disappointed with the result naturally.
Coming on here though...it’s seems some posters have their scapegoats back. Some of the posts about Slivka and MacLaren have been pure poison. I actually thought they were ok tonight tbh.
The way some pick out particular players to blame regardless, singling them out and giving them pelted after a defeat is disgraceful. Same happened with Fyvie, Stokesy etc, and now it’s Slivka MacLaren. Boyle however, who has been really poor the past 3 games however is immune from criticism? I don’t mean to single him out, but it’s to prove a point that this place has a habit of picking scapegoats, and blaming all our woes on them. It’s disgraceful and out of order. I know players actually do read these forums too, so imo, some people need to take a good oook at themselves.

cheers, well done on getting there, wasn't great but with a wee bit of luck we we would not have lost. Spark obviously isn't there but it's where we are just now, it will turn around but if you want perfection every week Barca are there instead. Dosn't mean I wasn't screaming my head off mind. GG

Just fitba guys giving their opinion on a **** Hibs performance. McLaren was rotten tonight, like playing with 10 men,no other way to shake it.

Also just back... anyone else think we just didn’t want it as much as them? They were flying into tough tackles the whole game where we got out the way of most 50/50’s

Why is McLaren the scapegoat tonight?

Always been like that on here. The forum has massive favourites.
David Gray had a very poor run of form in our promotion season costing us 4/5 goals and was dropped in favour of Efe at right back. I pointed it out and got slaughtered.
Mallan and Boyle immune tonight while Slivka and Maclaren getting slaughtered. Tonight was a dreadful game in dreadful conditions decided by a mistake by a young defender (who everyone has been crying out to play, he was also dreadful tonight). It's obviously amplified by our poor form but it's not the end of the world. We went into the last break on 4 wins, everyone buzzing. Now we've got a bad patch and everyone is panicking. Relax and see what happens. You can't change it so get right behind them in the next game.
I really hope Hibs are never fan owned.

I’d say 70% of the people on this forum played football at some point at various levels. I can guarantee you every time they donned their strip they played to win. Tonight’s game was rank not because the players on show from both teams couldn’t play football. The game was rank because we lost playing in weather the Dorothy and the Tin Man would have been happier with.
If we had won 1-0 the Dons fans would have been discussing the same things. GGTTH guys

1/4 of way thru season and yet he has no clue what his strongest 11 is?? His tactics and starting 11 change with the weather and this is HIS team for the first time in his Hibs tenure - he's previously enjoyed the fruits of the Stubbs era and signings bar a few exceptions.
I like Lennon but he ain't the messiah he's made out to be on here...this is his team now and we are in the bottom 6...just not good enough so far imo.
Of all his summer signings only Bogdan and Milligan are improvement s on what we had. Mallan scores free kicks (tho even that has stopped lately) and offers very little else. I don't include the 2 strikers as they were here last season but we needed another striker in during summer window and are far too reliant on Flo and Jamie recapturing last season's form...which they haven't thus far.

The he scouts job should be to find better players. We have not done that.

We've played Celtic, Hearts and Aberdeen away in three of four games. Saints at home was dreadful but for **** sake. But for a mistake from a young player in Porteus - who has been excellent - we'd be coming away with a point.

I don't think it is.
After our fantastic league season last year our expectations have been heightened and rightly so. However, many Hibs fans deluded themselves into thinking we were a better team than what we actually are.
As I have said we will beat the cannon fodder but we will be judged on our record in the big games that the fans desperately want to win against Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Hearts. So far we have had 5 games and 0 wins.
Add into the mix that we cannot seem to win at Pittodrie, Tynecastle or Celtic Park(which is never going to be easy) then of course fans are going to be venting their anger.
I keep hearing how terrible Aberdeen are but every time we play them we are guilty of the same errors. One win in eight during Lennon's tenure and ONE league home win against them at ER in over a DECADE.
Aberdeen have been better than Hibs for a number of years and with a very good manager we still have some way to go in matching them

Both Bogdan and Marciano are very good keepers - if you watched Hibs at all you would know that.
p.s. Alan Rough? Gies peace, he was about 10kg overweight most of the time.

Since Fontaine left there has never been cover for the left hand side centre back position especially now Lennon prefers to play a back three. Since Hanlon has been injured this period the person who has played there has looked extremely uncomfortable in Hanlons position none more than Porteous tonight. A team of Hibs calibre should have another left sided centre back and also a Grant Holt type figure as back up. These two positions must be addressed in January. Also once a young player is 20 years old he must be knocking on the first team door and I feel a reluctance from the manager to play like from like once someone is injured is now causing us harm but changing the team around every game is what you are now getting. Would expect 10 points from 12 next four games.
