As someone who isn't convinced by Calderwood, I'd like to offer him congrats on doing what no other Hibs manager has been able to do, and get the embarrassing Inverness monkey of our backs.
Yes, perhaps we were lucky, perhaps we are Barry White, but football is a confidence-based game and three away points on the board is welcome. I had gotten to the stage where I thought we'd never win up there in my lifetime, so bring on the Scottish Cup.
Have a drink and relax tonight, CC, you torn-faced hoodoo buster, you.

I keep hoping. This never-having-had-a-three-way-with-Natalie Portman-and-Scarlett Johansen has been getting me down, and it's high time it went, along with the Scottish Cup jinx.

No matter how we played. With our record up there and need for confidence, that is a FANTASTIC result. ICT are tricky for anyone to play against. And at the end of the day, 3pt is 3pts

After seeing 1 shot (off target) in 180 mins of football v Celtc and Blackpool, any win is welcome but ICT away doubly so.
Who cares about a goalie error. You don't shoot you don't score.
I'm away to gatecrash the royal wedding party. A few of bottles of our sponsor's finest should guarantee entry :party:
OK let's reword this post.
Delighted by the win and happy for the team but still not convinced by Calderwood and his tactics. Still certain players out of position and not playing to form and missing 3-4 players. We could've lost 3-0 easily but for defence, midfield still very weak and unless we get the players needed, it's going to be a long hard season. Apologies if original post came over too negative.

It might appear lucky given last 15 mins when ICT had several chances...
Fact is that Esson was MOM and made several good saves as well as chances that went wide...the system IS right and needs time an some other players to wok fully...BUT there is progress..and as long as we can see that I think that fans will start getting behind the team again...
a 0-0 up there would have been a very good result in all the circumstances...3 points the win and the end of that miserable record is just fantastic :not worth
She board...the investment in those over night hotel rooms paid dividends :wink:
Now some more development and getting injured players back against Sunderland and then on to next match with maybe addition/s to squad

What cracks? Inverness had a good spell at the end, but esson made 4or 5 cracking saves, and Sproule should have done better with another chance

Yep, end of the day it's a good three points in a place that's been tough for us. Nice to get off the mark too which will help the confidence.

Ye just cannae please some folk. [ This has to be a wind-up eh ? ]
As I said happy with the win as I didn't expect it and even shouted in the back garden as the goal was scored for my wife to tell me to keep it down a bit. :greengrin
From the commentary I listened to on BBC Scotland both teams were pretty awful in the first half, yes a couple of shots were Essen made a couple of saves, one coming off his face and an offside goal fro Murray, says a lot when an average keeper with2-3 average saves gets man of the match. the 2nd half we were very lucky not to be 3-0 down by the end if it wasn't for their poor finishing as they were all over us, the goal was a sickener for them and as I said, delighted for the win but was still a pretty poor performance.
Wotherspoon inefective......Stevenson poor again.....Palsson pretty poor and passing by a lot of the backs and midfield very poor. Booth was again a standout with GOC upfront on his lonesome again, even Murdo Mcleod was saying he was crying out for a partner and didn't understand why sproule wasn't used as this using his pace up front, it wasn't till the last 20 mins when this happened and the game opened up and chances came.

Three times as many points as the Gorgie Tossers this early in the season.

The vast majority of us would have take three points from our opening two fixtures.
A draw at home to Celtic and a draw today would have been acceptable to most so to have more than two points is a bonus.

We've had a succession of managers who started well and then fell apart. Wouldn't it be nice if CC proved us doubters wrong?

Congrats to all involved in taking the first three points of the season.

I am happy with the players CC has brought in so far, it is a completely new squad never mind team. He managed to get 3 teams promoted in 6 years, you just dont achieve that without kwowing how to be a winner. Time for us to get behind him and give him our full support. :greengrin

I watched the highlights on hibs tv this morning and thought it looked like a good game with a fairly good performance from us.
What I'm liking is that we now seem to have a coherent system to our play. We look like an organized football team, which is something that couldn't be said for us under yogi. We attack with purpose with players getting forward into good positions, and we are defending with purpose as well.
I don't think we are anywhere near as poor as some folk would have had you believe at the start of the season, and we will improve on where we are now as well.

Fair doos to you and please accept my apologies for my over reaction to yours.

No probs mate, don't like falling out with fellow Hibees, we are all in this together, just wanted to get a bit of realism into the result that's all, hopefully 2-3 new signings and Agogo fit for next match.
