Much better performance, result sucks as ever against the manky ugly ones, as for the manager dont know if he could have done any better today with our injury list, etc, etc.
2 daft mistakes and gifted goals, followed by a good spell then joe Bugner Newell gets sent off and he really up against it, but good to see the scarf twirlers shieting themselves screaming for the whistle.
We need to spend well in the summer.

Much better performance, yes. But really this be the minimum we should be getting, and then finding a way to score more goals more often.
Assuming we don’t get dragged in to any relegation nonsense we can write this season off and hope it gets better from here.

Performance counts for nothing in a cup game.
Performance counts for nothing in a derby.
I’m no feeling any better about our good effort today.

Sums up my feelings almost exactly.

The performance and contrast to how I feel this week compared to last tells me everything about the game and how it went. Obviously goes without saying I'm gutted about the result but in ANY game there's a major difference getting beat with a meek timid performance like last week vs getting beat after blood guts and thunder and just being desperately unlucky. They have a world class keeper in Gordon, literally world class. 9/10 keepers don't save Porteous header, but he does. The amount of times he saves them is remarkable and just is what it is. Will be a fantastic day when for us when he retires.
Even the most die in the wool Jambo will know they got away with one today. They might not verbally admit it but deep down they know it. No way in a million years would you have thought Hibs had the 10 men in that 2nd half. The pressing and control we had was actually mind blowing when we all know what we've been used too under Maloney.
It was a very good performance from Hibs, I don't think anyone can argue about that. Hearts had lady luck that second half, but because of our stupidity at the 1st goal and then switching off for the 2nd, we gave ourself a mountain to climb.
Hearts won't be winning the Final though, no chance. Firmly sure Hibs will still be it latest team in Edinburgh to win the Cup.

We lost yet again. A decent performance in a cup derby semi final is not good enough.

There were at least a few positives but anyone with eyes could see Newell was needing subbed and the changes had to come earlier. What we did today was the bare minimum for a Derby. We actually bossed Hearts physically and much of that had to do with the return of Lewis. His return a massive positive but why hasn't he been playing the last few games. I think we edged the game but we never really got enough men forward when we were on top but a goal behind. That has been the story of Maloney's time so far for me. We are far too safe in areas you can afford to take a gamble and take far too many risks in areas you should be playing it safe.

We did but a semi is all about winning. I'd rather play poor and win 2-1.
Players deserve credit for how they performed though.Last edited by Spike Mandela; 16-04-2022 at 04:16 PM.

"Plucky losers"
Just shows how far standards have slipped. I actually think there is a bit of relief from a lot of the fans that we didn't end up on the end of a hiding after a disastrous opening 20 minutes and made it look respectable. Yes, we did play well in the end but ultimately it still wasn't good enough to beat a Hearts side there for the taking.

Played well against them in the 2020 semi too, easily the better side. Hearts won that too.
We shoot ourselves in the foot time after time. They never gift us goals from basic things like we did today. Its so, so boring. Always a player who does something beyond ****ing stupid against them.
Hearts played a way that wins in Scotland today. Big lump up front, bodies in the box, take advantage of set plays.

Second half we actually played like a team because we had no option but to go for it, and what a difference it made. Some players actually looked interested.

BUT WE LOST. Doesn't matter wether we played well or not, WE LOST. I watched Hibs pump Hertz in 1994 but Wayne Foster scored and we lost. I'm fed up watching Hibs being the better team in a derby and losing. Its soul destroying and happened yet again its a ****** joke tbh.

The same old story. Can't score.. but strangely not as devastated as last week even though it was a semi final. Hopefully we can take that fight into the next few weeks as well as start a few of the young Hibs team to give them the experience.
