Solid enough performance. But still a few weak links here and there. Whittaker not offering much defensively or in attack. We could do with a solid right back.

Really? Whittaker was excellent going forward today. Put in some great balls. The assist for the fourth goal was superb.

He’s easy target, wish we’d support our players a bit more

I'm normally a decent level of moaner but even I thought Whiitaker had a good game today.


I must be losing my touch. Sorry DB...

Whittaker was the best player on park today.

Disappointed in the level of negativity on this board today tbh. It’s been a decent season but the energy levels have dipped since the relatively encouraging window and there’s no sense in denying it. A lot of the usual suspects seem to be going through the motions and I worry that they’ve downed tools.

Anybody else a bit concerned?

Im more concerned some fans think we've been decent so far this season. We started ok then over last 10/15 games been absolutely woeful. To me it isn't an acceptable first half of the season. Today was a step in the right direction.

Was that the guy playing left wing? Couldn't see his shirt number but if so then I agree he was quite a tricky wee player

Yeah that's the man.

He was excellent. Bonkers that anyone thought otherwise.

Re the 'Elgin' fans who disappeared after the THIRD goal. They were the most vocal part of their support, leading the *hitey home support chant.

Great to get their £22 quid a head for less than 45 minutes football.

On the other hand, full marks to the Elgin supporters who stuck it out to the end and saluted their team.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Horgan brilliant when played in his actual position as a winger, and not centrally.

I get the price issue and understand its not an attractive tie but league crowds at 16-18k and we get 7k for a SC game -- disappointing really.
And no I wasn't there but travel hundreds of miles to see my team when I can.

How many were at Parkhead? League attendances aren’t really any kind of guide to crowds in the early rounds of cups.

It's weird though, seeing ER so empty for a competitive match given recent uptick in attendance

Not long back from the game and in my opinion the supporters voted with their feet to stay away in a crazy priced game.
I just hope that Hibs take note for the next few seasons and if drawn against small teams at home they stick to sensible prices like having a max of £15 and min of £5.00.
Game was o.k. but never worth the expense of getting there and then £22.00 to get in.
Reduced price may have had 12,000 in the ground with a wee bit of atmosphere at least, pay attention Hibs you cannot keep ripping off people they will just say up you and stay away on what was a bloody cold day for sure.

Some of his crosses were brilliant today. Thought he got a bit sloppy last 20 or so, but thought he had a good game overall

He was about to come off just before Bogdan was injured. He signalled to the bench a couple of minutes before that.

Fantastic bit of football and vision for the fourth goal started by him and final assist by him.

Yeah, outwith the '*hitey home support' nonsense early on, I thought their support backed the team pretty well and, apart from a small group, most stayed to the end to clap their players off the field.

Definitely, other than a couple of slack moments I thought he was excellent today. I sit in the East near the FF stand and his cross for Horgan's second was sublime.

Sorry man but if you can’t be arsed to go to the games , you surely can’t have a pop at the crowd.

I live in England and previously Zambia its not about being arsed!

Attendance is 7082

Minus a good number of Elgin supporters and youd have to say around 6,500 Hibs supporters the rest have told Hibs to ram the full price of a ticket.

As has been covered in other threads Elgin City would have had to agree any price reduction. They obviously didn't. I know a couple of season ticket holders who weren't there. Not boycotting but couldn't afford it on the kids ticket price.

The crowd wasn't that bad compared to other club's attendances or comparable attendances for years gone by. Elgin probably got what they wanted and more money than they would have got at reduced prices.

Not for the first time the main losers were the football supporters who couldn't afford it

Finally someone that sees that too, I've been banging on about it for many weeks, he came as a left side inside forward, play him there and stop this in the middle behind the striker nonsense, we have Gauld, Mallan and hopefully Allan that can do that job.

It was a decent assessment of the library like home stands and empty seats.

At least they made some atmosphere... although they were a bit pathetic leaving after the fourth goal.

Yep had a good game won a pen range of passing was good excellent crosss for 4th goal. Weak link my erchie.

Whittaker did a lot of good link up play but 3 or 4 short passes never cleared the first man and he lost the ball a couiple of times by having his pocket picked. Good outweighed the bad but two mistakes in full back position gave them two opportunities to set up scoring chances so not as great a performance IMO as some seem to think.

Can’t disagree with you.

We keep hearing about community engagement, but this cup tie at home is a perfect opportunity to drop the ticket prices and attract those who can’t normally afford to come, as well as reward regular attendees with a cheaper day out.

Totally agree. I believe the visiting team has to agree the ticket price though and i figure thats possibly the stumbling block, Elgin for instance will expect they will get more from the game £22 (or whatever it was) x 7000 than 12,000 say charging a fiver.
