Reasons to be cheerful?
-as others have said, we have improved on last season. Not really something to take too much pride in given how bad we were a year ago but it’s a start and an improvement nonetheless
-barring one of the all time great cup final shocks we will be flying the green flag in Europe again.
-Boyle coming back from injury will be like a fantastic new signing.
-our support, and a special shout out to the away support, has been generally excellent.
-we’ve just beaten an old firm team in the league for the first time in what seems a lifetime (forget the disclaimers about them already winning the league and red cards- we beat them, it’s in the history books)
-we beat hearts recently and we’re now 2 unbeaten in the derby, not much to crow about admittedly but given our desperate derby run since 2019 it’s something
-hearts contrived to throw away third place (and very nearly 4th) in a season when they had third wrapped up at Christmas.
I would have added that we have a very promising youth team to the list but the Laidlaw news has put a dampener on that.

I'm disappointed the season's over. Feels to me like we've been better than Hearts and Aberdeen recently and could've overtaken them but ran out of time. Hearts were 11 points ahead of us a few months ago and we closed it to 2 and Aberdeen were 9 ahead of us at the split and ended up 5 ahead after them being extremely lucky to draw with us at Pittodrie.

An instantly forgettable season that’s likely to be repeated next season if we don’t recruit very well. Glad it’s over.

We have had much better we have had much worse.
Pretty average kind of season.

Hibs simply must start raising standards and expectations.

Why you still going on about Lennon? I've no idea how he would get on as Hibs manager these days. Maybe time for you to put that one to bed? You mention iLennon almost every time you quote one of my posts, no matter what the subject is. Let it go.

Nobody is slagging your mum here, we're only talking about LJ.
Why you getting so defensive? You're going to read an awful lot of posts criticising him over the next few months. Are you going to have a wee tantrum and respond like this to every one?
We know you don't like anyone critiquing LJ. You've told us plenty of times already.

It isn't difficult to be impartial about LJ. He has struggled and couldn't really complain if binned. He has also had some brilliant results and some horrible injuries to deal with.

We've had half a dozen decent game this season. I wanted a lot better than that. Hardly crime of the century.

We’ve got the 5th biggest budget and we finished 5th. We are punching our weight.
Our new manager has had an up and down start, but for a change we’ve decided to stick with him and hopefully the stability will help.
There are positives. But we’re competing in a league that only 2 teams can win, which makes our cup performances more disappointing.
I can’t say I was that excited about the glory of a 4th place finish. I suppose it’s all very average and unmemorable.

I’ll be spending 18 hours a day on here awaiting updates on the City Group chatter.

Been quite a mixed season tbf though we have had some decent results like winning away to St mirren 1-0 , 4-1 at Livingston ( 4-1 at home too ) , 3-1 , 6-0 at home to Aberdeen, the 0-0 at pittodrie we were by far the better team in , beating hertz 1-0 and again totally out playing the opposition.
Great performance in beating the champions 4-2 which most teams fail to do .we showed great fighting spirit in 1-1 against hertz and 2-2 against Sevco. Compared to last season's 8th place finish and watching the team with Maloney in charge of it there's definitely been a improvement and with a good summer recruitment there's reason to be optimistic for the new season.👍

Disappointment of yesterday aside, I’m relatively positive about next season.
I’ve seen enough in 2023 to feel that Johnson may be capable of getting a decent team together. I think he’s squeezed as much out of a relatively poor bunch over the last couple of months as he realistically could, once he found a way of playing.
All hinges on what we do in the transfer window of course.

The team Lennon did it with was built over 3 and a half years, mostly by someone else.
