Striker/Where are the goals coming from (Merged)

[QMU-1875]

Find a free agent asap and get him signed, not one goal scorer at this club. Il give Collins his dues he is a workhorse but he is never in any of the positions a striker should be and when given chances he can't take them, he needs a goalscorer beside him, one with pace. We are going down bunch of impostors and a disgrace to this club.

Don't think you can sign free agents any more? 31st March the deadline?

Did we force Langfield into a save at all? I don't remember one.

In fact, other than Forster's "goal", did we have anything on target a week past Sunday either?

Nope. Not a shot on target tonight... Embarrassing!

No saves from Langfield at all.

Macdonald had to save a 20 yard shot straight at him from Harris. That's it though.

We need two up top. Yesterday.

We need more than one.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

As it says, we need to win matches but how can we if we don't look capable of scoring a goal? I really do fear for us.

I backed Butcher from the start and I still do but... He's made some horrific mistakes. His team selections are baffling me. 4-5-1 at home and 1-0 down yet nothing changed. Collins (another I backed) was rotten can win a header if his life depended on it. But tonight he has ZERO support. We never tested their keeper once.

MM should learn to shut his trap as well and instead of telling the fans to "shut the **** up" he needs to get a grip of his coaching style.

TB and MM were overwhelming winners when asked who we wanted. But something is deeply wrong guys at this club. How can we be so soulless? Liam Craig a captain? LIAM ****ING CRAIG!!! He's nothing short of a coward. Wee Lewis constantly gets ripped on here but by god that boy has more heart than everyone on that park tonight. Give him the captaincy and get these ****ing impostors out of Hibs. Sick of this I'm sick of failure and failure each season.

Enough is enough now! They are a bunch of losers who don't care.

Did MM actually say that? Lewis Stevenson for captain

Yes 100% I sit right behind the home dugout and he turned to the guys who sit to the right of the dugout and shouted it. At least 5 of us heard it.

Arguing with fans was the start if the end for Bobby Williamson. Sadly that's not where the similarities end.

Hibs are worse than *****e. We could still be playing now and we wouldn't score. Never looked like scoring. Soft as ***** at the back, nae pace, nae quality, no technique, can't pass a ball to a Hibs player.

Particularly bad in all areas.

We desperately need a couple of wins from the next 5 games. I can't even see us scoring.

Shecht!!!!

It just wasn't working and Collins has not got a clue playing up front on his own. Cairnié and Harris looked lost too

[Sir David Gray]

We've had six shots on target in the past five games (scoring once) and only 1 shot on target in our past three games (scoring none).

Utterly pathetic.

And yet still James Collins plays. Bizarre

[SouthamptonHibs]

I think for our next game Ladbrokes and Co will prob have the full St Mirren starting line up including the goalie at lower prices to score the first goal than our entire forward line, our prices might look like this
1. Haynes 250-1
2. Heff 250-1
3. Handling 275-1
4. Cummings 300-1
5. Zoubir 500-1
6. Collins = put a £1 on get a four bedroom house at Ravelston

Hail Hail

Hibs to have a shot on target - 1000/1

He scored tonight though. Finished it well - if he had been onside it would've been a really good goal.

Was that the one where he could have got a yellow for playing the ball after the whistle had gone for offside and the defenders had all stopped?

Or did I miss another one ;-)

It would be that one. I'm just basing it on the fact I was told countless times last week that hearts had a goal chopped off last week. Collins one tonight was similar - lobbed Langfield beautifully.

We are a laughing stock just now ,and T B is embarrassed and his reputation tarnished ,but losing plot with players clearly isn't working ,yet he continues to do it . hearts will call off their Boycott they have nothing to fear coming to play us in fact no one does and that is the problem we have created for ourselves. I don't want to hear another hibs player talking about we aren't too big a club to go down .its like we talk ourselves into situations and it becomes a self fulfilling fallacy ,so they can turn round and say see I told you we could end up in play offs .

Exactly! I knew what you meant.

[Jones28]

Surely the need for goals needs us to play 2 strikers.

FFS butcher, if they're gonna score 2 we need to score 3.

Terry said there seems to be some glass wall the players can't get past at ER, they are struggling to get round it as well.

If he had been on-side he would have missed it, his bottle would have went and he would have blasted it over the bar, the whistle had went before he scored, Collins new that so there was no pressure and he finished it nicely.

[Bishop Hibee]

I challenged anyone in the pub to name me a Hibs striker who has had as long a run in the Hibs team as Collins has had and yet be so ineffectual. No one could answer which says it all really.

[500miles]

I'd get Watmore up top with Collins. Play a couple of wingers, and have a centre midfield with plenty of movement and energy.


............................Williams
....Forster....Nelson.............McGivern...Steve nson
....................Taiwo......Robertson
.....Harris.....................................St anton
...........................Collins
....................Watmore

Watmore can run at players, has pace, and would make a lot of space for James in the box.
