I was looking through old football annuals for articles on Hibs and the 1973 review of the league had a quote very relevant to our prediciment some 37 years later.
The Scottish Football book in 1973 has Eddie Turnbull saying
We had our sticky spell at the worst possible time. Right at the end. You can recover from a bad start and you can drive your way through a sag in the middle of the season but when it happens in the run in you are in trouble
Eddie, we certainly know what you are talking about this season. Maybe we are expecting too much from Yogi if legends of Scottish football like Eddie Turnbull talks about teams having sticky patches and the wrong time to get them. Somethings just never change with Hibs I suppose.
