Dundee Utd 3 v 0 Hibernian [FT]

[Toaods]

Nish showing once again he has no position sense.

[Pretty Boy]

Cracking cross comes in from the left, right accross the face of the goal, nightmare for a goalkeeper and the defence. Nish makes no effort to attack the ball and it drifts harmlessly out the park.

Byrne stripped to come on at least.

[Tyler Durden]

I see everyone is pinning the goals on Dickoh but golden boy Hanlon is equally culpable. Relying on those 2 will see us relegated. Unfortunately Yogi's left CC with problems in every department.

In saying that, how Calderwood can persist with Nish in preference to anyone is beyond me. If we don't sign another striker we really are doomed.

[hibiedude]

We are making chances but as said before only Nish on his own and byrne and duffy on the bench.......is it me because Calderwood dosen't seem to be watching this game

[Sir David Gray]

Byrne and Duffy about to come on.

[Liam89]

Byrne and duffy set to come on

[Sweep]

Byrne and Duffy coming on now.

[Cheshire Hibee]

Duffy & Byrne coming on

[HibbyAndy]

Says it all really.

[ForeverHibs93]

We got let off the hook there:dummytit:

[Hibs7]

Byrne and Duffy coming on, lets see if what you all wanted does the trick, CC can see everything we can.

[Toaods]

New game Target....break this non-scoring run before full time.

[Franck Stanton]

Think Stephens is one of the few players CC hasn't tried yet , WHY?:confused:

Totally beyond me, he hasn't had a lot of game time so far but whenever he has he looked assured in everything he did, certainly looked better than any c/h we currently have.

[Houchy]

F***in Dickoh just standing watching again!!!

GTF ya lump!!!

[Sir David Gray]

Byrne and Duffy on, Galbraith and Towell off.

[hibee_girl]

Why take Towell off?

[Hibs7]

Towell coming off, ??????????????????

[Hibs90]

So how we lined up now? 4-3-3?

[Pretty Boy]

Towell off now.

Wotherspoon to RB? Or are we going to see some new weird and wonderful formation?

[Hibernia Na Eir]

Hibs are down, lets get used to it

[hibiedude]

Calderwood must have a computer in the dug out and he's on Hibs.net

[HibbyAndy]

Why take Towell off?

To get a goal we badly need

[AgentDaleCooper]

...what was that noise yogi just made...? :confused:

[Pretty Boy]

I agree Hanlon was at least partly responsible for the 1st goal but the 2nd was Dickoh and Dickoh alone to blame.

[Thecat23]

Why take Towell off?

Can see what he's doing to be honest. Drop Spoony into right back and play 4-4-2.

[hibiedude]

Why take Towell off?

Never in a million years should that guy be coming off unless Injured

[Hibs7]

The defence is still crap. !!!

[Liam89]

Is it just me or does Nish always jump about 30 seconds too early?

[J-C]

Can someone please tell me why NISH is still on, he's the most inept waste of space non football playing man I've ever had the misfortune to witness, Towell off...WHY????

[lucky]

Towell was doing well Spoony was not in the game. Yet another strange selection by our bingo manger

[Ernie Cobra]

Byrne and Duffy coming on, lets see if what you all wanted does the trick, CC can see everything we can.


whats that meant to mean.....were you happy with the way things were going??????

[Coco Bryce]

Is that Barry Lavety the far side linesman :greengrin

[Dinkydoo]

What's Hughes been saying?

He's been interrupting the commentary to give his view on the role of the 4th official and basically criticising every decision the referee makes.

Not watching the game anymore since the stream went down so I can't confirm whether he's right or wrong.

Commentators have been taking the mick out of him a wee bit, calling him a Clairvoyant and also saying they can't get a word in edge ways.

It's just a bit cringey to be honest.

[Hibs7]

whats that meant to mean.....were you happy with the way things were going??????

Nope but CC can see what we do, he is not that stupid.

[Houchy]

Hibs are down, lets get used to it

Great, more words of wisdom from you eh:confused:

[scoopyboy]

Hibs are down, lets get used to it

In the coming weeks I hope Hibs show a bit more belief and fight than you.

[Liam89]

Can someone please tell me why [SIZE=4]NISH/SIZE] is still on, he's the most inept waste of space non football playing man I've ever had the misfortune to witness, Towell off...WHY????

AGREED, biggest waste of space I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. The guy is a joke of a so called footballer. Watching him makes my blood boil.

[HibbyAndy]

In the coming weeks I hope Hibs show a bit more belief and fight than you.

:hilarious


Behave

[Sylar]

I can see the problems, most of you can see the problems, yet somehow CC persists.

We're leaking goals in every game, usually 2+ at the minute and we can't score at the other end, as the quality of our strikers is woeful.

His signings look good, but his tactical awareness and recognising where changes are needed is completely inept. Having said that, he's signed 3 midfielders and a full back. These are problem areas (what position isn't?) but there are far more important replacements needing made.

[Hibs7]

Thornhill going to come on, either Polson or Scott I would imagine coming off

[Hibs90]

Thornhill coming on for Hibs.

:top marks

[Hibs90]

Nish off

[ArmadaleHibs]

this is my third post about hibs worse player in 30 years. infact i wont even mention his name. ah good theyve just took him off

[Sir David Gray]

Thornhill on for Nish.

[Hibs7]

Thornhill on Nish off :thumbsup:

[.Sean.]

First weekend game i've missed in 4 years, and i'm delighted. This is ****ing ******. In dire need of 2 strikers, a centre-half, a midfield hatchet-man and a right winger.

[J-C]

At ****ing last, Nish offski.

[lucky]

We have fallen out the game. All the early promise has disappeared

[essexhibee]

The beast is going off.
Nish going off at last!! He's beyond ***** but I do feel worth for him.

[hibiedude]

Towell was doing well Spoony was not in the game. Yet another strange selection by our bingo manger

Some of the decisions Calderwood has made since being at the club are very strange.

Taking Towell off is just one of many

[Sammy7nil]

I am one of CC critics with regard to team selction BUT at 2 - 0 taking off a defender at looking for goals is fully justified.

[Dinkydoo]

...what was that noise yogi just made...? :confused:




Sounded like he was about to spontaneously combust. :greengrin

[Liam89]

Scott showing some fight, good.

[Pretty Boy]

I am one of CC critics with regard to team selction BUT at 2 - 0 taking off a defender at looking for goals is fully justified.

It wasn't as though he took off a defender to change the formation though. All he did was take off a RB and move another player into that position.

Wotherspoon has been hopeless, why not just take him off and leave Towell where he was?

[J-C]

I am one of CC critics with regard to team selction BUT at 2 - 0 taking off a defender at looking for goals is fully justified.


So replacing and attack minded RB with an attacking midfielder is positive, or just like for like. :confused:

[Sir David Gray]

3-0, shocking defending.

[Sylar]

Absolutely pathetic defending.

These guys deserve the first division.

[Hibs90]

Smith useless ****ing ****. Get him to ****

[Dinkydoo]

Pathetic Hibs, ***** pathetic.

[vahibbie]

Oh FFS.
Just how *****e are we

[ForeverHibs93]

Oh dear, oh dear. oh dear!

[SaulGoodman]

**** it all

[HibbyAndy]

Disgusting defending..Absolutely ****ING DISGUSTING!!!!!!!

[Betty Boop]

Shambles ! :boo hoo:

[TheEastTerrace]

Sorry guys, we're going down. Only an equally abysmal Hamilton will save us.

[essexhibee]

Give up. Eastenders it is

[Houchy]

Typical of our luck. Utd take a shot that's going way wide but takes a deflection for a corner which they ultimately score from.

[Pretty Boy]

Classy defending.

Dickoh a yard behind everyone else playing about 10 players onside.

[hibiedude]

I am one of CC critics with regard to team selction BUT at 2 - 0 taking off a defender at looking for goals is fully justified.

Towell off keeping spooney makes sence :confused:

But lets not fall out about it :wink:

[thebakerboy]

All our defenders standing watching leaving Russell 2 unchallenged attempts at goal 3 down.:fuming::fuming::fuming:

[J-C]

So why in hell is CC not signing any defenders, it's plainly obvious that the defense is the main problem as can be seen with every goal today.

I'm turning off, after Andy Murray's piss poor performance earlier, it's been a sheite day so far.

[Sylar]

Smith useless ****ing ****. Get him to ****

There's only so much he can do when our defense step out and leave 2 players to attack him unchallenged.

Dickoh standing watching, Hanlon standing watching...

Sunday league defending isn't as heartless as Hibs.

[Beefster]

Dickoh and Hanlon are terrible and both need to be replaced. If Hanlon hadn't come through the ranks, he'd be given Nish and Rankin levels of venom.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Dickoh is horrendous, played both their boys onside there.

Defending has been very poor, no marking no anticipation of second ball.

Don't think we have been that much worse than Dundee Utd we have given away very sloppy goals.....again!

[hibiedude]

Absolutely pathetic defending.

These guys deserve the first division.

But the fans don't

[Top Pans Hibby]

petrie & farmer - get out now

[pacorosssco]

can someone please tell me what positives cc has made at hibs

[lucky]

We don't deserve to be 3 down but they have taken their chances. Whilst we don't look like we will ever score

[Liam89]

Awful awful awful awful awful awful awful awful awful.

[Capt Mainwaring]

Utter shambles.

Some new faces - same old
Doubt the Utd Goalie will bother to wash his jersey today.

[Pretty Boy]

Smith useless ****ing ****. Get him to ****

How exactly can you blame Smith for that?

Theres only so much he can do with that pish in front of him.

[KingFranck]

What exactly is the point in East Mains ? The defending is a joke we are going down bunch of overpaid jokers in green and white

[vahibbie]

How many corners is Miller going to up

[down-the-slope]

just in...forgot we were playing till i stuck laptop on....2-0 on beeb site....3-0 by the time i got on here....

oh dear...we are going to have to dig something out in the games aginst St Mirren & Hamilton or it will be a sticky end to the season

[hibiedude]

I'm sorry Calderwood but your not the answer to our problems things have not improved since you arrived..... in fact they are worse. :taxi

[Wilson]

Sorry guys, we're going down. Only an equally abysmal Hamilton will save us.

If only hamilton were equally abysmal!

[Sylar]

But the fans don't

No arguments from me - the backing the lads have given this shower of dross throughout the season is admirable.

Just a shame the players don't care enough to respond.

I can't understand why footballers can't be sacked, as this lot are in dereliction of their duties.

[Mango Man]

Done.

[Green_one]

can someone please tell me what positives cc has made at hibs

To be honest - NONE

This just gets worse by the week.

Even our advantage with goal diff has evaporated. :rolleyes::confused:

[Toaods]

How bad are Miller dead ball deliveries? Hec's like an imputed taking those corners.

[vahibbie]

If only hamilton were equally abysmal!

even then we would struggle

[Sylar]

can someone please tell me what positives cc has made at hibs

His signings look positive. Short of that...

[Hibs7]

ah well, I suppose a win with the new guys was too much to hope for.

[Russdoorsfan71]

Dickoh and Hanlon are terrible and both need to be replaced. If Hanlon hadn't come through the ranks, he'd be given Nish and Rankin levels of venom.

You'll get dogs abuse for that comment but I have to agree with you. Hanlon has promised alot and failed to deliver for a long time now. Think it sums up the leadership qualities of our squad when he is given the arm band.

the new lads have done alright today, Scott looks like a good purchase. Polsen has looks good without doing too much...few wayward passes but that will come.

Our problems are mounting up and I seriously can't see a way back for us now. We needed a big signing in this window (a striker anyone?) to lift everyopne at the club. Here is hoping for tomorrow but I can't see it coming.

[Dinkydoo]

I honestly would not be surprised if we don't win more than 2 games until the end of the season.

[hibiedude]

100% agree with evey word you say :wink:

[TheEastTerrace]

The Tasche was looking rather uncomfortable in his seat there....and so he bloody well should :grr:

[micksoo]

torture to watch

[Dinkydoo]

Might be a bit out of place here but can someone tell me what the point of having an owner is if they don't invest any money into the team? :confused:

[hibiedude]

Palsson great shot

[EasterRoad4Ever]

Can't believe BBC sportsound has John Hughes of all people trying to analyse Hibs performance. IMHO he more than anyone is responsible for the predicament we're in.

[one day maybe...]

As every week passes I live in hope that we can turn it round (and that is starting to fade now). But please Mr Calderwood will you just pick a first eleven and give them a chance to gel. All this swapping about is breeding far to much uncertainty ih the way your team is playing, my team is playing. The way we have played today in patches gives me a little bit of hope, 3 nil seems harsh but we need a goal scorer and we don't seem to have anyone who will stick it in the pokey. Buy one or its life in the first division sadly.

[Sir David Gray]

3-0, full time.

First half was quite positive, second half was quite awful.

631 minutes and still no goal in league or cup.

I don't think anyone can really overstate the importance of Wednesday night's match now.

[.Sean.]

Watching this has uncovered my apathy for Hibs at the moment. I'm past caring if i'm being honest. We're hopeless, and the players will know that themselves. Relegation? You better believe it.


The current plight is nothing short of criminal. It's shocking, woeful, disgraceful, disheartening and quite frankly embarrassing. This shower of ****** deserve the First Division in all honesty.


I can honestly say i've never been so disillusioned with Hibs, and indeed Scottish Football in general. Totally fed up with it.

[hibiedude]

St Mirren mid week

[Sylar]

Can't bring myself to listen to Calderwood's interview.

Rangers vs Motherwell League Cup Semi is on BBC 1 just now if anyone can face more football after that.

[Mango Man]

Never been so down about Hibs, even including our relegation season in 98. Absolutely atrocious, we started of pretty well, but soon as that goal went in, that was it, horrible. Dickoh is murder. WHY CAN'T WE SCORE!! WHY HAVE I GOT SO MANY JAMBO MATES.

[Riordans Boots]

:boo hoo: again

[EasterRoad4Ever]

631

the number of minutes Hibs have gone without even scoring a bloody goal :fuming:

Nish - used to pretty useless, now arguably the worst CF I've seen at ER.

[ForeverHibs93]

Hamilton have 2 games in hand and are 2 points behind us:dummytit:

Totally agree with you son.
F'kn dismal state of affairs.

[Houchy]

Hamilton have 2 games in hand and are 2 points behind us:dummytit:

And still have to play them 3 times!!!

[SteveHFC]

We are going Down!!!

[James.]

St Mirren on Wednesday will define our season, if we don't get at least point then I can't see us recovering. We are just plain awful at the moment. On a more positive note new boys looked quite decent today.

[.Sean.]

Hamilton have 2 games in hand and are 2 points behind us:dummytit:
They also play Hibs on a Wednesday night in Hamilton. An easier three points they won't pick up all season.


St Mirren also have a game in hand, anybody aware who it is against?

IMHO they are not even good enough for the 1st div. This is the WORST Hibs team back to front that I've ever seen, and I've seen some shockers over the years.

[paulhfc88]

Only positives from that game is the performances of the new guys.

Scott- Looked like hes a bit of a fighter, challenges and chases everything
Palsson - very composed in the middle of the park
Thornhill - seen very little but done nothign wrong after coming on

Good performance from Booth!

Other than that cant say much more than WE NEED A NEW DEFENCE!

[matty_f]

That second half was dreadful. We could play til next season and not score.
Dickoh was culpable at every goal. Nish is one of the worst, if not the worst, footballers I have ever seen. Slower than a week in jail, no goal scoring instinct whatsoever, and can't link up play.

well I am going to agree with you both, never quite got the hype around him. I prefer him at LB altough I seemed to be in the minority there.

[Pretty Boy]

We are in big bother.

We can't score, we can't stop the opposition scoring, we create little, we have a manager who is at best tactically naive and we have a team at least half made up of passengers.

There were positive to take from the 1st half today. Scott looks like he could be a bargain, Palsson will be ok, Towell and Booth look decent full backs. Negatives aplenty as well. Didn't really look like scoring, Hanlon, Dickoh, Wotherspoon and Galbraith need to get their fingers out sharpish.

We need a goalscorer and a decent centre back ASAP.

[Cheshire Hibee]

Hamilton have 2 games in hand and are 2 points behind us:dummytit:

Not sure but I think they are Smeltic home & Arabs away.

[hibee_girl]

They also play Hibs on a Wednesday night in Hamilton. An easier three points they won't pick up all season.


St Mirren also have a game in hand, anybody aware who it is against?

Rangers at Ibrox isn't it? Isn't that the game that got called off when the pipes were frozen?

[one day maybe...]

631

the number of minutes Hibs have gone without even scoring a bloody goal :fuming:

Nish - used to pretty useless, now arguably the worst CF I've seen at ER.

I don't normally slate players, but I did think he was very poor as a centre forward today, constantly fouling, conceding needless freekick. That was one of the worst games of football I think I have ever watched.

[EasterRoad4Ever]

St Mirren on Wednesday will define our season, if we don't get at least point then I can't see us recovering. We are just plain awful at the moment. On a more positive note new boys looked quite decent today.

:agree: but for how long ? No captain, no leadership, no goalscorers, no ball winners and a bunch of players who have perfected the art of losing football matches at a canter.

Yep, totally agree with you Sean. We desperately need to get rid of the dross in our club, and there's plenty of it, but it ain't going to happen soon. I do like the look of Scott and Towell, but there doesn't seem to be any motivators in the team, and I wonder how long before the 2 of them get dragged down into the rest of the team mentality at the moment. But Calderwood thinks they're all doing well in training so that's alright.

[Sir David Gray]

Not sure but I think they are Smeltic home & Arabs away.

Their games in hand are at Pittodrie and Tannadice.


They also play Hibs on a Wednesday night in Hamilton. An easier three points they won't pick up all season.


St Mirren also have a game in hand, anybody aware who it is against?

Motherwell at Fir Park.
