Whilst performances havent been great, Im sure we all can agree on that (yesterdays game prob best so far) we have started to look like a team who have their mojo back, there is more fight, more determination and there appears to be more confidence and leadership, thats surely down to the guys in charge so they deserve that wee bit praise.
As you allude to in your post the new guys inherited a threadbare squad and looking at the young bench yesterday that still appears to be the case and will be for the foreseeable future. Points are being racked up though, we are 5 points clear in 6th place and I now see an air of positivity compared to the doom and gloom of a few weeks back.
Its early days of course, lets see out this season then Heckingbottom and his team can build for next.
Onwards and upwards 👍

Good results so far, and yesterday was the best 90mins performance - which will be a confidence thing. Finish above Hearts and spend the SJM sell-on wisely when it lands and next season could be a good 'un!

I quite like the 'quietly going about his business' style. I've never been keen on overly emotional managers having apparent meltdowns.
I also like the fact that we can see he has a quite obvious system, is getting the best out of the players at his disposal (which gets better as he spends more time with them), and can change system in the middle of games, when necessary.
He also hasn't publicly slaughtered his players or bemoaned his lot in comparison to other clubs...inadvertently demeaning the club and players in the process.
What's not to like?

The lads doing great so far and as someone with "first hand" experience of Michael Appletons management (at my local club Blackpool) so glad Heck is in the hot seat and not Appleton. We dodged a bullet there IMO.

Playing the same players each week is a big plus for me. This season Lennon would continually change the formation.

Probably a lot of the time he didn't have much choice, but some of his choices were quite baffling.

We have someone who is a natural born winner rather than someone who has to get his pals in the media to tell everyone he is one, honest.

On objective reflection, the recruitment team did well when they appointed Stubbs.
On objective reflection, the recruitment team did well when they appointed Lennon.
On the early evidence, the recruitment team did well when they appointed Heckingbottom.
I'm seeing a pattern here which is very reassuring.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I knew this guy would be good. Im not surprised at all by the way he's got us playing better.
Paul is THE man !

Nice tweet from Heckingbottom just now-
“Enjoyed my first month at @HibernianFC. In football it’s rarely plain sailing but hopefully you can see the hard work the team are putting in. Thanks for the support and see you after the internationals #Hibees”
Night and day from the atmosphere at the club the last few months before he was appointed.

Terrific return this last month and not surprising given we are focusing purely on the football now and not what the manager is doing on and off the pitch. Lennon did well but was turning Hibs into a sideshow.
I'm liking the understated professional approach that PH adopts. He keeps his emotions in check. When there is calmness at the top, the players are bound to respond in a far more positive way and play without fear.

I’m delighted we wouldn’t be where we are if Lenny was still in charge.

They also had the good sense to sack Butcher when the guy shamefully refused to resign.

7 behind Aberdeen and they have hearts and motherwell and we still need to play them. 5 points behind killie and we have them twice. It won't be easy, but I think third is do able this season.

If we finally break the Tynecastle duck and win v Livi and Kilmarnock then we can push for 4th.

Heck and Stockdale have done a brilliant job so far, it's hard to see hoe they could have done better. Other teams around us doing poorly has also helped.
I also think we dodged a bullet with Appleton...too much of an ego driven Macho man for me. I honestly don't think he could spend the amount of time that Heck does on preparation as he is always down the gym preening himself or getting tattoos.
I see great things ahead for Heck and Robbie..very exciting.

What a fantastic start, 13 out of 15 points in the league.
Beating St Johnstone away from home was massive for me and a convincing win yesterday adds a lot of confidence to the support and fans.
We have a clear style of play and seem to be much sharper in the final third and transition it very well. He seems to like a quick ball into the strikers feet, lay off and next thing you know we are through. Like the play for the penalty yesterday
To think we have the following players out, with some due back before the end of season to boost numbers/quality
Gauld
Aygepong
Whittikar
Johnson
Boyle
Porteous
He said when he came in the form we need to get to achieve top 6 is that of a team finishing 2nd/3rd and so far we have done that. He also said he wants to build that form and take it into next season which is very exciting especially to think we have Allan coming in and he will recruit his own players.
