The data the recruitment team seem to use doesn’t look at leadership skills.
It’s all about pass completion etc.
Fully agree the lack of leaders has been an issue for a long time and we still haven’t addressed it.
Worrying but until we do amongst our other issues we will lose games like yesterday.
Number 1 priority in summer should be a new captain with leadership skills.

Very good post and you’re spot on with everything you’ve said there. I want to see players upset when we lose a poor goal. I want to see them argue the odds because in my experience that gives you that incentive and the desire not to be the one to let the side down.
Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case at ER at the moment. Hopefully that can change sooner rather than later.

The owners need to understand Scottish fitba. We’re not going to disrupt the paradigm with our smart arse recruitment strategy and experimental managers. We need leaders and experience. Get the basics right to be competitive and build from there. Strikes me as a club that looks at progressive new ideas from the top leagues and thinks we can replicate it with a fraction of the budget.

There's an arrogance about Hibs just now, but not on the pitch, sadly. We think we're smarter than anyone else, when really we must look like moon howlers to the rest of the league. Reinventing the wheel comes to mind.

The problems with recruitment must be deep rooted,numbers don’t win games you have to watch a player in flesh over time to see the character,we must be scouting purely on video analysis of players highlights.
Scouts reports give you in depth analysis how a player performs down in the mud when the chips are down. It takes time to properly scout a player. I’m no convinced we are applying that approach and lazy aspects of the most crucial part of the club is failing to provide the talent we do have with the graft it needs win games ugly or at all at the moment.
Excellent original post and insightful.

Those said senior players followed everyone else into trudging back into position shoulders slumped heads down. The team then visibly went into its shell for the next 20 minutes.That’s an example of the leadership void in this squad IMO.[/QUOTE]
Why are we signing players with that attitude? I thought that background checks were done on players? What do the recruitment team do - surely more than look at a few videos of players?
And stop signing players on loan.
You don't need "leaders" - the best teams that I was involved with, in low level sport and in business, were a success because of everyone taking personal pride in their own performance - people don't perform well just because someone is shouting at them.

Good comments from the OP.
The other thing I note is that no-one seems capable of winning their individual battles on the pitch. If I were the left winger, I'd want their right back to be having nightmares thinking back to the roasting I've given him. Same for every player and their direct opposition.
Instead, we're far too easy to play against.
