*** Motherwell 2 v Hibernian 0 ***

[skipster7]

clucking bell:rolleyes:

[Hibbie_Cameron]

According to Hibs Tv it was not even close to going in.

Pathetic, thats Zemmama missed two fantastic opportunites

[thebakerboy]

Thats it well and truly up the creek now Zoumer blasts penalty over bar goodbye Hibs 1st. division here we come.

[Supraninja]

Save or off target?
Over the bar.

[PeeJay]

Hibs team looks apathetic according to Hibs TV commentators - no fight, no spirit - things looking bad!

[SHODAN]

Penalty to Hamilton.

Wonder if the team at the bottom of the table will mess their one up?

[hibsboy90]

Save or off target?
Blazed over the bar.

Our record from the spot is shocking!!

[HibsMax]

Zouma missing a penalty is no doubt Calderwood's fault too. If not it's at least Petrie's.

LOL.

The players HAVE to perform. Neither the manager or the board can put the ball in the net for us. Unless CC converts to a player manager.....

[Westie1875]

Pathetic, utterly pathetic. It has been forever since we have been able to rely on our team scoring penalties.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

What a load of losers :rolleyes:

[Judas Iscariot]

2-0 down we still have a one-man strike force - what's that all about then???

Because our manager is ****ing clueless..

[Spike Mandela]

Lucky we got Stokes and Bamba out, unsettling the dressing room apparently.:faf::faf::faf:

Gotta laugh or you would greet:wink:

[givescotlandfreedom]

Hibs team looks apathetic according to Hibs TV commentators - no fight, no spirit - things looking bad!

It's all right for these lazy wage thieving ***** they won't be here next season to see us in the 1st division.

[HibeeEmma]

These guys couldnt beat a bunch of pussy cats

[Stuarty1875]

:brickwall Zouma

Hamilton scored aswell

[Purehibee_MYB]

Is it just me that is losing interest in football?

[hibee92]

1-1 with hamilton :boo hoo:

[Hibs Class]

Over the bar.


Blazed over the bar.

Our record from the spot is shocking!!

As unforgivable as anything Smith may have done today.

[SaulGoodman]

**** THE **** OFF HIBS!

WE NEED NEW PLAYERS THIS WINDOW - GET A MOVE ON WHOEVER IS LEADING OOR RUDDERLESS CLUB! :grr:

You can tell we're in trouble when the so called "quiet man" is shouting :devil:

[BT58]

FFS,,,,,,,,,,HAMILTON EQUALISE,,,,,,,,,COURIER:confused:

[Sammy7nil]

There MUST be at Least TWO changes at Halftime

If Not CC knows Nothing

DUFFY has yet to touch the ball

We have now Missed FOUR Penalties this season.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Curier scores aswell. Never got a chance by 90% of fans.:agree:

[Sammy7nil]

Curier scores aswell. Never got a chance by 90% of fans.:agree:

he is pish hope this helps

Zouma missing a penalty is no doubt Calderwood's fault too. If not it's at least Petrie's.

LOL.

Calderwood is accountable for everything on the field - as long as he gets paid to chose and motivate the players. That's why managers get sacked when things go bad - simples.

[down-the-slope]

that Old GeeZer Roberts at Ayr has scored 2 pens already this half :rolleyes:

[SHODAN]

Curier scores aswell. Never got a chance by 90% of fans.:agree:

Should have re-signed him when he was released by Dundee. :agree:

[Wotherspiniesta]

Brilliant Hibs. Just brilliant.

Let's have some inspiring words from our enthusiastic manager at half time.

Joke from top to bottom.

[HibeeEmma]

Lucky we got Stokes and Bamba out, unsettling the dressing room apparently.:faf::faf::faf:

Gotta laugh or you would greet:wink:


Agreed

[hibee92]

Curier, Stokes, Bamba and Donaldson

All ex Hibees scored more goals today than hibs this year :rolleyes:

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

FFS,,,,,,,,,,HAMILTON EQUALISE,,,,,,,,,COURIER:confused:

Under pressure they're player scores a penalty, we miss ours, it's a mentality thing. Our team has no fight, no passion, Hamilton and St Mirren do.

There is no doubt in my mind right now Hibs will be relegated this season, no doubt.

[hibiedude]

R01rdan and Nish should start 2nd half

We have nothing to lose because as it stands the game is over.

I'm sure sure what Calderwood was thinking about playing Smith he's clearly the worst goalie we have had in a long time

[Col2]

Losers every one of them.

[MWHIBBIES]

Well theres always next year.

[Jim44]

I am sorry but Calderwood is not the answer, surrly he could have got some form of team capable of playing semi decent football by now. Definite relegation for Hibs, and they may never recover. !

Although Petrie himself should walk, I don't think he will keep Calderwood till the end of the season. He'll have to give Derek Adams an outside chance to save us from relegation. I'm getting fed up with the noises about giving Calderwood a chance to' impose' himself. He's had long enough to at least show even the tiniest improvement and sign that we have some hope. The fact is we have got worse under him. I wonder if he's 'really, really enjoying himself today'.

[HibeeEmma]

Brilliant Hibs. Just brilliant.

Let's have some inspiring words from our enthusiastic manager at half time.

Joke from top to bottom.

Yea all his bull**** about "missed opportunities" instead of the truth that our entire squad is useless

[Beefster]

Stokes scores again. We're well shot of him and his disruptive influence on the Hibs dressing room.

[SHODAN]

I'd make a triple sub. Stack, Riordan and Byrne on. Stack is the most important one by far.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

There MUST be at Least TWO changes at Halftime

If Not CC knows Nothing

DUFFY has yet to touch the ball

We have now Missed FOUR Penalties this season.

Hibs players throwing games for a few bob at the bookies :cool2:

[skipster7]

There MUST be at Least TWO changes at Halftime

If Not CC knows Nothing

DUFFY has yet to touch the ball

We have now Missed FOUR Penalties this season.

on another thread you said he knows nothing cause hes made too may changes ??:wink:

[stoneyburn hibs]

canny even see us getting a goal against anyone in the near future , man this is getting me down, we are total pash

[GreenCastle]

Under pressure they're player scores a penalty, we miss ours, it's a mentality thing. Our team has no fight, no passion, Hamilton and St Mirren do.

There is no doubt in my mind right now Hibs will be relegated this season, no doubt.

:agree::agree:

Keep saying it they have more than us and care more.

They have been there before and don't have the contract issue going on in the back ground.

[smurf]

**** THE **** OFF HIBS!

WE NEED NEW PLAYERS THIS WINDOW - GET A MOVE ON WHOEVER IS LEADING OOR RUDDERLESS CLUB! :grr:

THREE weeks into the window we have NOT ONE new addition in THAT shambles of a football 'team'.

The procrastination at board level is costing us points and shortly our SPL status.

We've KNOWN for a very very long time how utterly Rafael Sheicht we are. It's inexcusable..

[Beefster]

Although Petrie himself should walk, I don't think he will keep Calderwood till the end of the season. He'll have to give Derek Adams an outside chance to save us from relegation.

No. We haven't.

[HibsMax]

Calderwood is accountable for everything on the field - as long as he gets paid to chose and motivate the players. That's why managers get sacked when things go bad - simples.

I know what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. If a player has a clear shot on goal, such as a penalty, then it's HIS responsibility to get the ball on target. There is nothing the manager can do about that. What you're saying is overly simplistic. You are saying, or implying, that all good / bad streaks are dependent on whether or not the manager is doing a good / bad job. It's a team sport, it's not down to one man. Good / Bad results come from good / bad team efforts.

[mcfly]

Something has to be done - the board must be prepared to go into debt or we are down its as simple as that.

they have 9 days to sort out the mess or face the cost of relegation, cuts will be made and will we need an expensive board in the 1st div.

no need for hospitality against stirling albion.

get it sorted or get out!!!!!!!!!!

[James70]

You could almost write the script for today with Smith screwing up again, a missed penalty, and ex players scoring for their new teams.

Not long now before we are clear bottom of the league which seems to be the only ambition we have now.

[Col2]

Under pressure they're player scores a penalty, we miss ours, it's a mentality thing. Our team has no fight, no passion, Hamilton and St Mirren do.

There is no doubt in my mind right now Hibs will be relegated this season, no doubt.

Yup. 100% agree. All that is stopping the reality for others is our marginal lead over Hamilton. This could change by tonight.

[One Day Soon]

Given that.....

1. You would have expected any side with even the barest remnant of a pulse coursing through it to have had a reaction today to the Ayr result
2. Motherwell are one of the very few teams you could even remotely imagine us taking points from
3. We have now missed a penalty
4. Good players are rarely available in the January window
5. It would be incredible to change manager again in-season
6. The current squad are a bunch wage thieving mollycoddled chancers with no guts or pride

.....i think it is safe to say that this would be a good time to press the panic button.

This is a slow motion car crash in which we are in the passenger seat watching it all unfold as we slide uncontrollably into the pile-up in front of us. There is one thing and one thing only that may save us and that's an airbag called Hamilton. If that malfunctions it's Division One

[HibeeEmma]

I'm getting bored of playing the same old SPL teams and going to the same grounds anyway...........

[ScottB]

That Bamba seems to have suddenly pulled the finger out now that he's left us speaks volumes about the biggest issue the club faces.

These players are good enough, just most of them don't bother their lazy, workshy, overpaid, good for nothing ars*s to try!!

[PeeJay]

I'd make a triple sub. Brown, Riordan and Byrne on. Brown is the most important one by far.

Brown is not on the bench - so you can forget that then and the other two we need on the park as well as, not instead of - then we have a chance!:greengrin

[archiebald]

could bring on the good players that never let you down at half time ! :taxi

[lucky]

Very disappointing today again. I am in the camp that CC is not the answer and has to go. With his poor record I doubt many players will want to sign for him as its unlikely he is going to last much longer. Relegation is looking more likely every game.

[Judas Iscariot]

:faf:

We miss ANOTHER pen and MAC (not good enough fir Hibs or to score in the SPL) buries a pen for Hamilton..

Priceless..

I'm beyond giving a **** now

[I'm_cabbaged]

he is pish hope this helps

Your talking pish, hope you get help.

[Pretty Boy]

Under pressure they're player scores a penalty, we miss ours, it's a mentality thing. Our team has no fight, no passion, Hamilton and St Mirren do.

There is no doubt in my mind right now Hibs will be relegated this season, no doubt.

:agree:

These teams are well up for the fight. More than that they are used to being in the fight so deal with it. Most of the guys at clubs like Hamilton and St Mirren realise that relegation could spell the end of their full time football career, they are literally playing for a living. Hibs players on the other hand look like they couldn't give a toss because they will walk into another team no bother at all. I really hope a few of these arrogant, non trying losers get a nasty shock and find themselves on the dole come the start of next season.

[Col2]

No. We haven't.

Oh yes we have. Stats will back this up. We don't score anymore and have zero absolute zero fight.

[IWasThere2016]

THREE weeks into the window we have NOT ONE new addition in THAT shambles of a football 'team'.

The procrastination at board level is costing us points and shortly our SPL status.

We've KNOWN for a very very long time how utterly Rafael Sheicht we are. It's inexcusable..

:agree: Looking like the First Div., and less resource for the manager (whoever that'll be) next season as the STs will dive.

[SHODAN]

Brown is not on the bench - so you can forget that then and the other two we need on the park as well as, not instead of - then we have a chance!:greengrin

Stack, rather. :greengrin

[mcfly]

No. We haven't.

tell me how does every team with a new manager improve???

hibs are worse......now we cant even score.

with yogi we couldnt defend, now we can do anything right.

yet again though the board appointed the manager..........we are in deep deep trouble and this weeks "all in this together sppeech" is fine but the board are paid to watch hibs, we as fans have to pay a lot of money for that priviledge.

i believe the board are not getting any abuse today as there aren't enough fans there to do that. prob be the same on wed night v a hurting rangers side.

[HibeeEmma]

You could almost write the script for today with Smith screwing up again, a missed penalty, and ex players scoring for their new teams.

Not long now before we are clear bottom of the league which seems to be the only ambition we have now.

I just can't fathom why there is such a lack of change at this club. The guys are just not good enough and the manager should be bringing in new guys.

I read or heard somewhere the lack of new faces isnt due to lack of trying or looking on behalf of the manager but SURLEY there are alternative options - getting guys in on loan or something!

Even on the basis that the current squad have no confidence, we need players in to boost the team.

In the papers it's all talk about "every game from now till end of the season is a cup final" , "the guys are all gutted". Yet there seems to be no urgency from CC to getting points on the park.

:brickwall:brickwall

[Beefster]

Oh yes we have. Stats will back this up. We don't score anymore and have zero absolute zero fight.

No. They don't.

Up to last weekend, Calderwood's stats were better than Hughes' games this season in % won, % drawn, % lost, ave goals scored per game and ave goals conceded per game. I can't be arsed doing it again to include the last two games.

Hughes also took us on a wretched 15 game run last season where we lost 11 and drew 2.

[Jim44]

No. We haven't.

That's a matter of opinion.

[lord bunberry]

I know what you're saying but I respectfully disagree. If a player has a clear shot on goal, such as a penalty, then it's HIS responsibility to get the ball on target.

Good / Bad results come from good / bad team efforts.

What you are saying is overly simplistic a managers job is not only to bring in new players but also to coach the ones he already has calderwood has failed miserably to do this remember this is pretty much the same team that was going so well last season there is enough talent at er to be doing better than we are and its the managers job to ensure we do so

[Dashing Bob S]

0 wins in 10 games.

[sesoim]

don-t think you can blaame his team selections because any permutation chosen is just not working ! Who would be better. I would think Brown is injured, can-t be another reason. Regretably our team is crap ..........


Even if Brown IS injured, surely Stokes is the better option. Or has CC never watched that 6-6 game or the derby from last season? It wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't. He seems to be cheerfully oblivious to what is going on.

[BT58]

Under pressure they're player scores a penalty, we miss ours, it's a mentality thing. Our team has no fight, no passion, Hamilton and St Mirren do.

There is no doubt in my mind right now Hibs will be relegated this season, no doubt.
YOURE 100%CORRECT
CC aint got it,,,,hes gonna walk,,,unless we get at least 3-4 new players in,were,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,F****D!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Coco Bryce]

If I see any of the players out when I'm in town tonight, I can gaurantee my face will be on the frony page of Monday's Daily Record :grr::grr::grr:

get him on! :greengrin:wink:

[vahibbie]

No. We haven't.

Mibbe no, but it's close.

[HibeeEmma]

Duffy off, nish on

[sesoim]

0 wins in 10 games.


I don't see ANY prospect of that changing till we appoint a manager with a functioning brain in his head. Unfortunately by then it will be too late to sign any players.

[hibbybrian]

Nish on for Duffy

[down-the-slope]

come on Hibs...only takes a minute to score a goal :rolleyes:

[GreenCastle]

:agree:

These teams are well up for the fight. More than that they are used to being in the fight so deal with it. Most of the guys at clubs like Hamilton and St Mirren realise that relegation could spell the end of their full time football career, they are literally playing for a living.

I really hope a few of these arrogant, non trying losers get a nasty shock and find themselves on the dole come the start of next season.

Spot on :agree:

Or the Hibs players have teams lined up to move too...somehow ?!

2nd half starts...will be score..

Nish on for Duffy

[HibsMax]

What you are saying is overly simplistic a managers job is not only to bring in new players but also to coach the ones he already has calderwood has failed miserably to do this remember this is pretty much the same team that was going so well last season there is enough talent at er to be doing better than we are and its the managers job to ensure we do so
I said that football is a team game and that poor performances are not down to just one man. Hibs were crap before he came and they're crap now. There is NO evidence to suggest that any other manager could get better results than Calderwood is getting.

[hibbybrian]

Adams sent off :rolleyes:

[hibee92]

derek adams sent to stand :confused:

[PeeJay]

Nish on for Duffy

We are 2-0 down and we take Duffy off and replace him with Nish - did anyone expect that?:confused:

[Betty Boop]

Adams sent to the Stand now.

[Beefster]

tell me how does every team with a new manager improve???

hibs are worse......now we cant even score.

That's not true though, is it? Every team improves with a new manager? Even when they haven't signed anyone?

Folk seem to think I'm defending the Board or refuting the fact that we're *****. I'm not. I'm refuting this myth that we've gotten even worse under Calderwood.

[marinello59]

If I see any of the players out when I'm in town tonight, I can gaurantee my face will be on the frony page of Monday's Daily Record :grr::grr::grr:

Sorry, I know I shouldn't but......:rotflmao:

[Beefster]

Mibbe no, but it's close.

Yup. We're no better or worse.

[SHODAN]

"Hibs have taken off Duffy for Nish, they're going to go a bit more direct now"

What were we doing before?

[Dalianwanda]

Do we know for a fact that Brown was dropped because of form and not injury? A lot of folk here seem very sure of that..And Bamba & stokes wanted to leave, nothing would have stopped them..And folk were saying that Booth & Galbraith should be playing after Tuesdays shambles..Now theres moans at all the changes..Anyhoo my stomachs churning after the first half so away for a lie down in a silent darkened room :wink:

[euro Hibby]

hats off to Aregulator who said CC was a dud before he started and if i recall was lambasted for it..................

[down-the-slope]

SFA beaks will give Adams a hefty ban given his previous

[leither17]

nish loves a goal at fir park

[HibsMax]

That's not true though, is it? Every team improves with a new manager? Even when they haven't signed anyone?

Folk seem to think I'm defending the Board or refuting the fact that we're *****. I'm not. I'm refuting this myth that we've gotten even worse under Calderwood.

I'm with you, Beefster.

I know that Hibs are playing dire.
I know that results have not miraculously improved since he took over.

But I don't understand why people some people seem to think that any other manager would get different results. Where is the evidence that this would be the case?

[SHODAN]

nish loves a goal at fir park

True. :greengrin

Hat-trick please Colin.

[blaikie]

Adams sent off :rolleyes:

Least someone shows passion for the team!

[hibiedude]

Nish on and R01rdan still on the bench :rolleyes:

Assistand manager sent to the stand

A manager who looks lost for answers of how to changes things for the better

[sesoim]

I'll say it now, I can see it being about 6-0 at fulltime. This is turning into a nightmare. CC's decisions are amazing.

The only good thing about a scoreline like that is that Petrie will HAVE to act and appoint the kind of manager he should have appointed in the first place. There's no point in waiting till March/April when we could already be adrift at the bottom.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

we are absolutely rank rotten.

another game with not even a shot on target.

another pen wasted.

could be a cricket score on wed

[HibsMax]

hats off to Aregulator who said CC was a dud before he started and if i recall was lambasted for it..................

Yes. Pats on the back all around.

And what if CC turns out to be not so much of a dud once he's actually been given the opportunity to create his own team?

[marinello59]

That's not true though, is it? Every team improves with a new manager? Even when they haven't signed anyone?

Folk seem to think I'm defending the Board or refuting the fact that we're *****. I'm not. I'm refuting this myth that we've gotten even worse under Calderwood.

I actually feel sorry for Calderwood. He could not have imagined how little pride this group of players would have in the club and themselves. After the cup exit they should be willing to run through brick walls to salvage their reputations.

[Walter]

You see more commitment and bravery in schoolboy matches.

[The_Horde]

Totally drained by hibs just now. Had stuff to do today but I'm now in such a stinking mood that I really can't be arsed. I can't even see signings changing it.

We're done.

[hibeedonald]

zemmama very close

[PeeJay]

Zemmama has a dangerous shot, but goalie saves!

[Hibee1]

Adams sent to the Stand now.
Anyone know why D.A. was sent to the stand? Calderwood quizzing 4th official. Stuart McCall also having words... :confused:

[hibiedude]

Surly the money saved on the win bonus at the club could fetch us a new player :greengrin

[vahibbie]

No. They don't.

Up to last weekend, Calderwood's stats were better than Hughes' games this season in % won, % drawn, % lost, ave goals scored per game and ave goals conceded per game. I can't be arsed doing it again to include the last two games.

Hughes also took us on a wretched 15 game run last season where we lost 11 and drew 2.

Whoop de woo.
OK we're a wee bit less ******....although most would say we're worse.

[down-the-slope]

The commentary is pathetic....other than the score and a couple of personal comments about individual players....I have no idea what is going on or where the play is .......

[GreenCastle]

If I see any of the players out when I'm in town tonight, I can gaurantee my face will be on the frony page of Monday's Daily Record :grr::grr::grr:

Don't go to Opal Lounge / LuLu later then :wink:

[Supraninja]

I called the penalty miss, so I'm calling a win now as well.

[sesoim]

I'm with you, Beefster.

I know that Hibs are playing dire.
I know that results have not miraculously improved since he took over.

But I don't understand why people some people seem to think that any other manager would get different results. Where is the evidence that this would be the case?


Erm, all over the place. Scotland under Smith as opposed to Vogts and Burley. Hearts since Jeffries took back over. Aberdeen under Calderwood and Brown as opposed to Mark McGhee. Every team Mourinho has been in charge of compared to his predecessors/successors.....

I know our squad is weak in areas, but a decent manager would have gotten more out the team than CC AND made a few quick changes once the window opened. I reckon we'd be safely midtable under a decent manager by now.

[HibeeEmma]

Zemmama has a dangerous shot, but goalie saves!

Hopefully he can remeed himself. He is a fighter when he loses the ball in the middle of the park so hopefully he'll get us a goal.. :pray:

[Removed]

The commentary is pathetic....other than the score and a couple of personal comments about individual players....I have no idea what is going on or where the play is .......

What commentary you listening to?

[hibeedonald]

keep missing chances

[PeeJay]

Rankin blasts ball over the bar! Why is Riordan not on the park?

[Tollhouse Hibee]

keep missing chances

cos the decent ones fall to rankin

[Saorsa]

Rankin blasts ball over the bar! Why is Riordan not on the park?He's not good enough if you ask some on here.

Just what the **** does that make the rest of this team.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

Rankin blasts ball over the bar! Why is Riordan not on the park?

cos he has been pish for weeks and is not scoring either

[hibeedonald]

chance after chance now, cmon!

[PeeJay]

Zemmama has a free kick that goes close!

[Tollhouse Hibee]

chance after chance now, cmon!

all seem to be getting created with galbraith getting the ball, but as usual silly use of free kicks etc

[HibsMax]

Erm, all over the place. Scotland under Smith as opposed to Vogts and Burley. Hearts since Jeffries took back over. Aberdeen under Calderwood and Brown as opposed to Mark McGhee. Every team Mourinho has been in charge of compared to his predecessors/successors.....

That is not evidence that these managers could make THIS HIBS team any better. All you are doing is making assumptions based upon success stories you've seen around the league. That's fine, you can make your assumptions but I'm not buying into it. I'm not saying that you are wrong but you don't know that any of those other managers would make a positive difference at Hibs. You can think that they would, but you don't know.

[GreenCastle]

Please put Deeks on and just play 3 forwards.

Urgency needed.

Our midfielders just don't score.

[Saorsa]

cos he has been pish for weeks and is not scoring eitherRiordan is a proven gaol scorer with 100 goals, that hasnae changed. Whats changed is those around him,we've got rid of all the players that were any good and replaced them with *****e. What have the rest of them ever proven (except that they arenae good enough)? Nae service equals nae goals. This midfield neither provide service tae the forwards or cover for the defence.

[lord bunberry]

I said that football is a team game and that poor performances are not down to just one man. Hibs were crap before he came and they're crap now. There is NO evidence to suggest that any other manager could get better results than Calderwood is getting.

I agree the team is crap but they still have the ability to be doing better. If you remember the last time we were relegated we were terrible for months we sacked duffy and brought in mcleish and he turned things around and almost kept us up with virtually the same team you can also add craig brown at aberdeen to that. I'm not saying cc should be sacked but he needs to get us winning soon or he will have to go

[HibsMax]

Please put Deeks on and just play 3 forwards.

Urgency needed.

Our midfielders just don't score.
Have to agree. What else do we have to lose? Play 10 up front!

[Springbank]

That is not evidence that these managers could make THIS HIBS team any better. All you are doing is making assumptions based upon success stories you've seen around the league. That's fine, you can make your assumptions but I'm not buying into it. I'm not saying that you are wrong but you don't know that any of those other managers would make a positive difference at Hibs. You can think that they would, but you don't know.

Mark McGhee's Aberdeen lost 9 in one game this season.

Craig Brown was practically undefeated with the same squad until today.

Archie Knox took them to the job centre on day one and told them "buck up or else this is where you'll be in May"

We need some of that.

And fwiw I think we'll also lose 9 in a game at some point this season unless something happens. Record breakers, thats what our current team are. But not in a good way.

:agree: correct...he can come on when defenders have expended a bit...as he just does not have the speed or fitness..

Much more likely to get space as a sub

This is just depressing.

[HibsMax]

Mark McGhee's Aberdeen lost 9 in one game this season.

Craig Brown was practically undefeated with the same squad until today.

Archie Knox took them to the job centre on day one and told them "buck up or else this is where you'll be in May"

We need some of that.

And fwiw I think we'll also lose 9 in a game at some point this season unless something happens. Record breakers, thats what our current team are. But not in a good way.

I'm not saying there is a not a pile of evidence to suggest that managers CAN make a positive impact when they take over a new team.

I'm saying there is nothing to suggest that would work at Hibs with our current squad. There is a difference.

Why don't we just ask the players who they want to manage them?

[Saorsa]

This is just depressing.it's beyond that.

What exactly do our midfield do? They do not protect the back four, don't score and don't offer the striker(s) any service :brickwall

Substitution for Hibs - Riordan for Rankin - takes free kick and it's saved. Riordan then makes terrific sliding tackle to win ball back as Motherwell break away.

He hasn't justified that status over the last few games has he? Riordan has been as poor as the rest of them. Not one player at Hibs deserves automatic selection.

This is what bugs me, I cannot understand for the life of me why we haven't brought players in?! The current squad we have got are absolutely useless, we are going down I reckon :boo hoo:

Yes, he's had the time but consider these points:
1. maybe there is nobody around that he wants.
2. maybe nobody actually wants to come play for Hibs. Go figure!

Just because we've had 21 days doesn't mean that something should have happened.

And you just know that a certain portion of the fans would be pissed if CC brought in someone just for the hell of it.

[matty_f]

Hibs suprise me every week. Every week I think thats as low as we can go.

:agree: thought this week and the ayr disaster would have been the breaking point for the season, there seemed to be a real determination from the club to out things right, yet here we are again. Same old, same old.

[woodyhfc4892]

Van persie just missed a penalty for arsenal, not just us that cant take penalties then :zzzzz!:

[down-the-slope]

if it was only 2-1 with a whole half to play it would be so different....

I am alone in failing to understand how we are so bad at set plays...whether defending or attacking

Throw in's...we rarely find our own players...other teams seem to get easy possesion against us

Corners...its a bonus if we beat first man...Not since the early part of Jones time have we got regular goals from them...playing against us scoring from Corners is common

Free kicks...remember when a free kick under 25 yards out was like a penalty when DR could score so often...now we are more likely to give possesion away when taking them....playing against us teams just bombard the box causing panic.....

All CC needs to do is bring players in that are better than what we have and want to play. Now as we are getting beat by teams like Ayr and we are looking like going 2nd bottom then there should be plenty of players in our price range, as being second bottom shows just how bad the players are. CC may need to revisit his plans as its no longer challenging the top half of the league each year, its not getting relegated.

I agree but I think it's a little trickier than you are implying with, "All CC needs to do....". Is that all? LOL. I'm not arguing with you. I really do agree but I suspect that attracting the kind of players that the fans want to see at Easter Road is getting more and more difficult.

[Spike Mandela]

We need an Inverness goal and a St J goal. Hibs ain't going to help themselves. We need others to do it for us.

[HibsMax]

Why is that so hard to understand? You think that just because Hibs need new players that all of a sudden there will be a glut of talent that wants to sign on the dotted line?

So do we just toddle along and accept another defeat and sleep walk into a relegation battle and a good chance of relegation and the financial implications that entails.I wish people would take off the blinkers and realise just how perilous our position is.We are the worst form team in the league and are probably most commentators favourites to go down.Just thinking it will suddenly change is just fantasy.I dont care who is to blame.We need players in before the end of the tramsfer window and if we dont get reults soon then im afraid cc will be bulleted.I know it is not his team but the run we are on is now a spiral and i cant see either the board or the fans putting up with this much longer.
Yet another depressing saturday.We are switching fans off rapidly and as times get tougher for everybody we may not get those giving up back for a long timeThe manager says the same thing after each defeat.The players say the same thing after each defeat and the board bar one statement say nothing.How the hell did it come to this.It just isnt funny anymore.

Thats the points I am making, its no longer about attracting players the fans want, its about attracting players that can get us out of relegation. These types of players are readily available if you have a bit of money which the board assure us we do. We, the fans, may not like some of these types of signings, but if the first choice ones are not working then we need to lower standards as not signing anyone is not an option right now as can be seen with the results and performances.

It will be difficult to sign players when it looks like we are heading for relegation, but I would have expected CC to have a few players lined up well before the window even opened.

I'm still trying to work out the reason Petrie appointed this guy, because he certainly wasn't rated highly at Nottingham Forest. Davies took over from him when they were almost bottom of the championship and within a few months they were 2nd in the league and almost got promoted. Again, it just shows the difference a good manager can make.

According to BBC that was our second shot on target. Well have also had two, both goals. We've had 8 off target - accuracy is just one of our many problems but something which seldom seems to improve and makes you wonder what they do in training. It's the same watching the shooting during pre-match warm-up which is usually atrocious and which the players seem to often regard as a laugh rather than a serious exercise.

Hibs need the league restructuring to be like that, where being 22nd almost gets you promoted back to SPL. However, knowing Hibs, we'd be 23rd and get relegated :greengrin

The board cannot blame CC if they are the ones that are limiting his ability to strengthen the team. The fans can, and will, blame anyone they want. ;)

I'm not suggesting that we accept anything, I just said that it's tougher to find talent than simply saying, "We need new, better players.". That's all.

If as you say the players that can get Hibs out of trouble are available, and willing to sign with Hibs, then I am in favour of us signing them. I don't know if these players are available, I don't know if they want to sign for us and I don't know what resources the board has freed up for CC. A lot of unknowns.

But we're in agreement, we need something. :wink:

I agree with your first point and that is something that scares me. It's a vicious circle. The worse you get the more help you need but the less likely you are to get that help because you suck.

I think it's clear that we're not going to sign any big ticket players which means we need to get out of this mess with journeymen and youth.

With respect to CC's appointment. I'm too far removed to really comment on it. All I have is what I read on here.

[mcfly]

If as you say the players that can get Hibs out of trouble are available, and willing to sign with Hibs, then I am in favour of us signing them.

we are 3 points above hamilton who must really fancy their chances.

CC get those losers of players in tomorrow - full days training and make them train every day till they win a game.
pampered, overpaid no marks not fit to wear the jersey....

[Bristolhibby]

Am I correct in thinking that with St Midden drawing in Perth we are now second bottom.

Oh and Hamilton picked up a point today.

Imagine Hibs going to McDairmid Park and not getting horsed, nevermind coming away with a draw!

That's how bad it is now.

I dunno what he can do in terms of picking the team..Does he stick by players such as midweek who showed absolutely nothing or does he try to re jig things? Hes on a hiding what ever he does..The worrying thing is that the players he picked dont seem to have the desire for a fight..Was the same under yogi..Now I never saw the game today so I cant say whether we were spineless or what (unlike some) but it doesnt sound too good

[Newhaven]

Why is that so hard to understand? You think that just because Hibs need new players that all of a sudden there will be a glut of talent that wants to sign on the dotted line?

It's up to us to find the talent with our manager and extensive coaching network. Im not expecting players to be knocking at the west stand wanting a game.

I didn't say there weren't any players out there. I said we need players that will sign for Hibs. Do we know that Rooney and / or Salmon would join Hibs?

The point I am trying to make (largely unsuccessfully based upon the replies) is that just because Hibs have a need does not mean:
1. the talent we need is there (although you are saying it is), and
2. said talent will sign for Hibs.

So I don't think we can say that Hibs should have done something by now because we cannot make players available and we cannot force players to consider Hibs as a viable option.

But I agree that we do need new talent and I've never said otherwise.

It seems to me that our decline started around the same time that the new training centre opened.

Maybe we should just sell East Mains and have the players training on the public parks again in among all the dog mess.

If Deeks is a luxury we can't afford then surely the Hibernian Holiday Park is even more of a luxury. We certainly have not seen any benefits from the Centre which was to be the big attraction for bringing decent players in.

If this lot don't get a grip soon, I could see us going the rest of the season without picking up a point. Every team must see their game against us as 3 easy points.

How can a game in hand be against us?????:confused:

It's against Rangers I think.

Sigh. Point missed again. How do we make these players sign for Hibs?

we could do a vinnie jones on em :wink::wink:

[RickyS]

Motherwell hadn't won in the league for the last 8 either.

we are the good guys of the league, a player who needs a goal, a team who have not won or a manager who is under pressure. good old Hibs will roll over for you

[Davy Mac]

The relationship between the fans and the players must now be at an all time low.

Some of the players are probably already looking forward to getting out of ER in the summer but shirley the players must have some pride left as who would want to sign any of this mob with their lily livered displays.

The footballing scrap heap is where the majority are headed but I've got news for you - there will always be the Hibs and we will be back.

You can bet on it.

It seems to me that our decline started around the same time that the new training centre opened.

Maybe we should just sell East Mains and have the players training on the public parks again in among all the dog mess.

If Deeks is a luxury we can't afford then surely the Hibernian Holiday Park is even more of a luxury. We certainly have not seen any benefits from the Centre which was to be the big attraction for bringing decent players in.

Does EM mean the players are too "cocooned" from reality? As I've said before why not have them training on the public parks after poor displays - e.g. in the derbies to reconnect with their public?

You forgot a goalie that needs a shut out.

I might be getting mixed up but wasn't Hamilton v. Hibs game in December cancelled and meant to be played last week but cancelled again because of the Cup replay?

And didn't they already play Rangers (1-1 draw)?

Yes we had a game cancelled.

Point is though,if they play us they would still have a game in hand. Simples:greengrin

That's got a nice ring to it - Haven Hibernian Holiday park

Maybe RP will construct some caravans and timber lodges around the park allowing fans and visitors to watch our squad train in the luxury of our holiday park, in fact let's build a swimming pool and get naughty ned and his crew to host some character breakfasts etc.

More money for the non-football playing team budget.

Aye, but they will also have equal points!

I think my brain realises I need a psychological coping mechanism and it is making me block out the pure horror of it all.

[Jim44]

Am I correct in thinking that with St Midden drawing in Perth we are now second bottom.

Oh and Hamilton picked up a point today.

Imagine Hibs going to McDairmid Park and not getting horsed, nevermind coming away with a draw!

That's how bad it is now.

Our game in hand is against Hamilton away. So given our dire situation and the fact that our recent record there is rubbish, we are effectively joint bottom.
