    How about we wait and see what the result is eh?

    I’m not at the game but where is Molotnikov playing - an out an out striker or is he dropping off into midfield a la the much criticised Vente?

    What worries me more than anything is that after a bright enough start to NM's time at Hibs in terms of style and movement, the players now seem rudderless. Listening on the radio and it sounds like Forfar have had the better of it. That's concerning to say the least. It looks to me like the players no longer buy into his plan for success, at which point he's dead in the water. Also, NM's interviews do not fill me with confidence. Think the job has been a bit too much of a step up for him. And I say that as someone who wanted him in, was willing to take the gamble on his early success. This is why I don't gamble with money...

    He played as a 10. It’s like fans are blind now.

    It is. Theres very little to like about watching Hibs under NM.

    Using last season as an example, which wasn’t a particularly high bar, can anyone see 3-0, 4-0 6-0, 1-4 wins or 4-2 home wins v Celtic etc coming this season? I certainly can’t.

    We continually thumb our nose at McInnes. He gets wins (especially at home) in this league, and I’d venture he’d love to come to Easter Road. Montgomery’s Hibs increasingly look like Maloney’s team and are equally as dull to watch

    . Our appointments seem to be all about Kensell trying to be smart rather than a pragmatic approach, and if Montgomery goes the way of his predecessors then it should be down to McDermott to choose the next incumbent with Kensell nowhere near the process.

    I normally think you are a bit of a doom-monger (for the record, you are ) but I cant really disagree - we are totally boring to watch now.

    I am being taken out for my birthday lunch/drinks on Wednesday and am swithering as to whether I should spoil it completely by going to watch our game with the currant buns afterward.

    Even under that charlatan Johnson, I wouldnt think twice.

    Another trolling post from Springbank. Imagine that.

    Formation shouldn’t matter a toss against that level of opposition.

    Nowhere near the biggest issue today. We have so many poor players.

  18. #17
    Any modern manager has numerous formations

    This is absolutely brutal

    Anyone saying different is completly delusional

    Do you really think a formation change would have made that a lot better today?

    Cannae blame the bloody formation (which I don’t really like) against Forfar. We couldn’t pass the ball 10 yards in the first half.

    These players will continue to get managers sacked imo.

    Systems, formations etc may change but the same old culprits keep producing insipid, turgid football and uninspiring performances.

    I'd maybe keep 4 or 5 and bin the rest if it was possible.

    The results and performances of last 5-6 leagues I’d strongly back my opinion

    I agree. We need a clear out!

    A change in formation wouldn’t have made them pass the ball to each other more. It would t have made us defend better in the first half. It wouldn’t have made Newell score the penalty as it never made Boyle score the penalty.

    These players get away with murder and there wasn’t anyone on that pitch today that I’d be upset to lose.

    5 quick wins in the summer:

    Doidge
    Hanlon
    Stevenson
    Jeggo
    ALF
    Marshall (possibly doing enough for one more year)

    How much better could those wages be utilised.

    It was as an easy cop-out by the club to keep them on. Not an ounce of ruthlessness in the Boardroom when it comes to the playing side of things.

    Absolutely, time for them all to go no doubt about it.

    This manager will get this manager sacked. He’s the one playing this dated formation. He’s the one playing our best attackers out of position. 20 games now. It’s clearly not working and he’s a live example of the definition of insanity.

    This squad qualified for Europe last year. The players have proved themselves at this level when used correctly.

    This idea that we should clear them all out to accommodate this delusional budget Guardiola is even more mental that his tactics.

    I think talk of tactics and formations is mostly tripe at this level.

    It’s about the players. They aren’t quite good enough overall.

    The best Hibs teams I’ve seen, had the best players (Turnbul, Mcleish Mowbray, Lennon/Stubbs). To be honest I can’t remember much about strategy or formations from those days. With average players it’s like arranging the chairs on the Titanic.

    Doidge was absolutely fantastic at the start of the season. NM’s come in and he’s barely been quoted.

    It’s not though. We are very clearly seeing quite a different way of playing now and it is dull and largely ineffective.
