Slaughtered apparently by Parker.
Why play him then? Has his bingo number not been called yet?

Flo

Flo has actually looked like he wants out the door most of this season. When he came last season he ran about and worked hard. Now he does nothing. He looks like he is regretting signing for us.

He needs a break. Madness to drive his confidence to rock bottom then slate him in the media. Poor from Parker, I understand what he's trying to do but it's the wrong way to go for me.
Flo hasn't been right since his sending off.

Needs dropped. Appalling again.

He was spoiled last season with the service he got. For weeks now we have treated him like Grant Holt, every other ball is hammered at him chest height or above. The 1st half tonight was straight out the Craig Levein Guide to Hoofball.
It doesn't excuse his body language but I can see why he's frustrated.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I thought the same happened with Simon Murray. His work rate was amazing when he arrived as was Flo's. However, after about 6 month he was guizing just as Flo is now. Closing down and making occasional runs but at jogging pace throughout. For me both players got fed up of being isolated both defending and in attack. The midfield are so far away and we never seem to press as a team. It doesn't take long before a one man press starts to become a chore and then the mindset is embedded.

Needs a rest IMO. Hopefully once MacLaren is fully fit we can get the partnership going again.

Publically singling out players during a bad run is the beginning of the end.

He’s not a target man. He’s not really mature enough to be the main striker at a club the size of hibs. But all we have is McLaren, Shaw and Boyle so he’s the main man.
Needed dropped/rested weeks ago but our other strikers just don’t have the ability to lead the line. Very poor recruitment.

The problem with only having three strikers is when they're all playing badly, you're screwed. Well, we dropped this player for another one. Then he plays ***** you sub him for.. The player you just dropped. LOLZ

As he was in a few games this season, including scoring a beauty away at Celtic. Hes clearly out of sorts, but hes not become a bad player.

I've said elsewhere that I think he's carrying an injury, I certainly hope that's it because his drop in form has been beyond belief.

Been a big Flo fan but his first touch was crap tonight. Without analysing in detail I'd guess 2/10 or so worked? Looked like a simple header 2mins in. Kit-kat time for him.

We have a fantastic striker there, not having a clue who he’s linking up with from one week to the next them hoofball to his gut or head. His attitude is questionable but he plays every game and you think Parker slaughtering him helps somehow? What does it achieve? A rollicking to the guy isn’t going to stop balls being smashed at him or waiting for Horgan to do something.

Flo was terrible tonight but he wasn't alone in that redirect.
I don't know what Lennon is asking him to do but he's definitely not getting the best out of him and the team are suffering as a result.
I think Flo would benefit from some consistency with his strike partner, and while we're on that subject, what's the point in having MacLaren and not playing him?Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

I think it's a mixture of carrying an injury and lack of confidence. He played well early doors this season and it seems since the Aberdeen cup game where he played well: he's struggled as has the team.

Maybe the defence and strikers would benefit from a coherent midfield. The strikers may also benefit from competition for places. Seems like a management and recruitment issue to me.

Flo has all the attributes you want to see in a quality striker but it is hugely concerning that he is currently just a shadow of what we know he has to offer.

How about the fact that Flo and Maclaren had the service from Dylan, McGinn and Allan and thrived. Now we have a midfield that couldn't tie there shoe laces and both players are struggling.

If Flo turned in the performances he has so far this season when we first got him on loan in Jan then I don't think we would have signed him. Same can be said of McLaren. Part of that could be down to the terrible service they are getting from the huddies we have in midfield but, Flo in particular is not running/ chasing/harrowing opponents like he did 2nd half of last season.

We're playing him as a target man which it totally unfair on him.
When we had the midfield last season he was getting quick balls into his feet and had plenty of support.
Now he's getting long balls lumped up to him.
He's not become a bad player overnight but needs a more physical forward next to him - despite his goal Shaw didn't look comfortable last night.
That or a midfield that can allow him a chance to actually play football. Often he got the ball last night with his back to goal and had maybe 1 or 2 players to pass to.
Mallan was picking up the ball in our own half.
