Priority one for the new manager should be a complete replacement of our ****ty defence.

How fitting that our season was ended by a last minute goal

Absolutely sums the season up perfectly. 20 seconds of injury time left, 20 bloody seconds away from the top 6 being secured. Brutal.

Interested to know how many points we've lost in injury time? Double figures surely?

Also fitting that it came from a long throw, considering we do it every week and it ends up coming to nothing every time.

In my view our prospects for the season ended at the January window when we spectacularly failed to address the glaring deficiencies in defence. There's no excuse for that given it was obvious to all of us. This is probably the poorest defence I've seen us have in years. Heads need to roll as it has cost us big time.

The Ross County one was the worst for me. The game should have been finished half an hour before it and we should have had the throw in but that totally overshadowed how bad a goal it was to lose. Murray getting a cross in when he shouldn’t have, Youan not tracking back and the finish just trundling past our goalie and about 3 defenders.
You can add leads throwing away leads as well.Last edited by B.H.F.C; 13-04-2024 at 08:28 PM.

The defence is definitely an issue, but the failure to hold a lead through injury time falls on the whole team. It's when a trailing team will attack us most and we need to be able to frustrate, cajole, slow down, run down the clock and put a game to bed by any means necessary.
That's obviosuly on the defence, but it's also on every other player and on the manager and his team to use tactics and instill them in their team.

For me, continuing to lose last minute goals goes beyond simply having a poor defence. Even bog standard defenders understand the fundamental basics of running down the clock when hanging on to a result. It's as if our players are actively instructed not to waste time when we're a goal up with several minutes left. We've seen this repeatedly throughout the season when we've unnecessarily attempted to push forward for another goal and given the ball away extremely cheaply instead of seeing the game out. That's not down to bad players, that's down to players being instructed to do something that they shouldn't.

Football really is a cruel game at times. The season is a right off and really need to be rid of the deadwood and spend this six million investment wisely. A few more decent loan players from maybe Lorient. Really need to add a bit of swagger to the team.

I have no evidence to back it up as I’ve not looked into it, but I’ve felt it’s not just the last few minutes of games. It’s been the last few minutes of the 1st half of games as well. Can think of a few times against Rangers in particular we have either conceded on the stroke of halftime or slightly earlier where we should have just been looking at slowing the clock till half time. Nobody wants a bunch of time wasting jobbers playing for us, but the naivety we have shown this season has been ridiculous at times.

Although our whole football strategy should be re-examined. We are going backwards and we'll waste £6m quite easily if don't sort ourselves out.

If anything sums up out recruitment policy over the last 4 years its this fiasco. Ridiculous state of recruitment, planning and execution. Amateur stuff.

Plus Mayenda too - another 18 year old who played around 90 minutes since coming to Hibs.
Add in Bevan too and that’s 3 total waste of wages - resources - squad members.
3 new signings started yesterday but none are defenders where our issue has been losing cheap goals all season.Last edited by GreenCastle; 14-04-2024 at 09:09 AM.

In the last couple of months we have had 5 games we have failed to win despite dominating.
Hearts, Aberdeen, Ross County, St Johnstone and yesterday all fit that description.
If we had won even just a couple of games we would be sitting comfortably in the top half and looking forward to a big finish to the season.
Instead we are yet again in absolute turmoil with 5 dead rubbers to "look forward" to.
It simply isn't good enough.

Signing a young inexperienced player in Triantis and a young player from Bournemouth who had been injured, and ended up injured again, was a joke.
Chuck Mayenda in and that’s three young players you’ve signed in January for very little contribution. Add Amos in who has predictably ended up hardly playing. Pissing about with stuff like that when all we needed to do was get someone who could organise a bit and header the ball out the box more often than not. If we had, I’m convinced we’d be better off. It didn’t need to be anyone glamorous, it just needed to be someone capable of doing a job in the short term at this level. But that wouldn’t suit our snobby approach to signing players.

There’s been too many excuses when we’ve dropped points (granted we have suffered from some terrible decisions) rather than addressing our complete inability to defend. You think of some of the goals lost in those games and it’s no surprise we are where we are.
