Aberdeen v Hibs

[stoneyburn hibs]

Good first half Hibs, there really is a lot of moaning minnies on this thread.

[BroxburnHibee]

Going on and on about their penalty shout and conveniently ignoring ours

[jimmyboco1875]

Best first half up there for a while, nothing fancy but we can't say the effort and fight hasn't been there, glad the players are approaching games exactly the way butcher and malpas demands

[cabbageandribs1875]

doesn't sound as though our midfield are playing very well

[SeanWilson]

BT sport commentators still going on about that handball. Jeezo give it a rest

They have been awful eh! Clearly aint a clue... cairney the forgotten man under fenlon... nah he was injured and coming back you trumpet.

[Bob Box Fish]

Positive first twenty. Lack quality up front could do with a Griffiths or riordan who can strike a ball cleanly.

Nelson needs to learn he is playing football and not rugby.

[down-the-slope]

We are doing well ....

However while they have loads of skill...Heff & Cairney are like blokes in the Parents race at the school sports day :tee hee:

[inglisavhibs]

Cairney - worst player on the park by a distance. We must have better than him !

Hardly, like the rest of the team competing really well although not managed to create too much yet. Lewis has hardly touched the ball and looks very lightweight against strong opponents. Keep at it Hibs and we might just get a result. Our lack of pace in midfield is obvious.

[Tyler Durden]

Cairney - worst player on the park by a distance. We must have better than him !

That's twice you've said now. Not sure how he's been any worse than Stevenson or indeed Craig. Think they've all struggled to get on the ball in good areas although Lewis has shown some nice touches.

A fully fit Harris is a different prospect for defences to worry about. Hopefully we're still in the game when TB sees fit to introduce him. Personally I'd be bringing him on for McGivern, poor on the ball and his heights no benefit when he loses his man at every set piece

[BroxburnHibee]

Robson playing well for them.

Thought Forster was playing well but getting no help from Cairney

[Craig_in_Prague]

Aberdeen have good shape. And they have the midfield wrapped up. More experienced players really.

Hibs must keep getting in their faces in the second half. Otherwise there's only one winner.

the bookies think so, they are shortening, hibs moving out (4/1 from 3/1 on bet365)

[heretoday]

Worry every time ball comes down left side, sorry but mcgivern a very weak link

I'd be sorry if he was still playing for Hibs next season.

They talked about Hibs for the first 20 minutes of the programme.

[inglisavhibs]

Agree on that one. This is a very difficult fixture.

[Tyler Durden]

Fenlon showed no sign of playing him. He was fit after the semi last year and didn't get a sniff.

Ha ha like that bout The Heff and Cairney. Defo need some pace and a wee bit more composure/skill to link in final 3rd.

My only concern now is the same as Utd game in that we run out of steam in final 10

[Bostonhibby]

Mcgivern posted missing

:agree: Doing my head in, Id like to see him at least involved defensively in his general area of the pitch second half - Aberdeen are playing it down his side - come on Ryan you are better than that.

[bandylegs_jLeighton]

Overall a decent performance so far given that we are away from home, Aberdeen are second in the league and have one of their best teams in recent years.

[twiceinathens]

Decent first twenty minutes without really threatening much. Heffernan lacks strength to upset Aberdeen central defenders. Cairney far too slow. Gradually falling out of game.

[down-the-slope]

One down and my face cheeks (very important to state this :greengrin) are roastin. The girls think yer beers rank, i think its :aok: CHEERS!

Glad I've not git volume in the pub by the sounds of it. Half time analysis On Scottish football has long been terrible. Need To :/get tighter in midfield or they will eventually break through. Heffernan won't last much longer IMO. Looks puggled

[cabbageandribs1875]

think i'l try some biased reporting and swap over to Hibs TV for this half :greengrin although willie miller and craig paterson have been pretty well balanced to be fair

[spike220]

We could nick this game. I think Harris would cause them a few problems if he came on.

[down-the-slope]

start the same way....60 gone get Cummings on for Heff....75 gone get Harris on .......

Easy this management stuff :greengrin

Seriously the best evidence of how well we played and particularly pressed was how quiet Sheep fans were during most of that half

[Bobo]

Reasonable opening 20 minutes where we looked busy and put Aberdeen on the back foot but we've had a really poor 25 minutes up to HT.

I still think we're far too soft in the middle of the park and lack creation, a bit suspect at both full back positions too where we've allowed their wide men too much time and space to put in crosses.

Heffernan looks off the pace and Cairney's been ineffective, wouldn't be surprised to see either being subbed. We need to get the ball down and wide and stop humping the ball up the park 'cos our distribution from the back is woeful.

Hope big Tel gives them a boot up the farter at the break and we see a bit more football in the 2nd half.

[Onion]

What planet are these numbskulls on - "Thomson up the tunnel said definitely 'Hand to ball'" - then he would have given a penalty. I hope we do a backs to wall and get a jammy goal to burst these pundits/commentators bubble.

Heard that as well. They're all tossers.

[Tyler Durden]

If that's the case... my apologies, always was of the opinion cairney was on his way back.

He was injured at start of the season but wasn't making the bench after regaining fitness before Butcher arrived.

Hopefully he can produce something 2nd half!

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Craigen like many of the exPlayers plaguing our game being controversial just for the sake of it.

[bingo70]

I don't mind craigan, disagree with him tonight though. Ours was a definite pen, so was there's though.

[GreenLake]

Heffer looks like he could score. A few heffers in the crowd too by looks

[Aldo]

:aok: Mmmm maybe thomson knew it and simply HAD to deny them as well :greengrin

See that's wrong. The dons penalty was so straight forward it was unbelievable and we would of had no complaints. Two wrongs don't make a right and it's basics. He got both so wrong

[HibbyKeith]

Hibs penalty claim: Black says penalty, mcleish says penalty, craigan says no penalty.


IMO..Think its a penalty, but at the time I couldn't be 100% sure, having watched the replay Langfield's hand hits heff, i think the lack of protest from heffernan might just have gone against him with the decision.


Dons penalty claim: Black says penalty, Lovell says penalty, mcleish says penalty, craigan says.... penalty, nelson knows what hes doing (being cute), red card.. stonewaller.


Craigan is a total welt!


IMO its a penalty, but there is no way its a red card, would love to see anyone getting their arm out the way when its kicked at you from 4yards away.

[PeeJay]

Thought we had an excellent first 20 minutes, we pressed well and high up the park - stopped them from playing, we failed to take the few chances we had however, and now Aberdeen have sussed us out. The further back we are pushed, the more likely they are to score - think our defence is in for a really tough 2nd half unless Butcher changes things ... Foster having a poor game, Aberdeen coming on to their game, we'll be lucky to take a point on that last 25 minute showing.

[Aldo]

No probs Terry. ;-)

[Bostonhibby]

:aok:


Mmmm maybe thomson knew it and simply HAD to deny them as well :greengrin

What I was thinking, Thomson missed 2 penalties that he could have given easily, who knows whats next? He did say in the tunnel that it was ball to hand unintentional, that's why he never gave Aberdeen one.

Worrying that Pawlett is going to rip McGivern a new one this half, hope not.

[Onion]

Cairney is doing my dinger - definitely going to cost us a goal.

[Andy74]

Fenlon showed no sign of playing him. He was fit after the semi last year and didn't get a sniff.

Think BT commentary is decent myself

It was right to drop him last year. He came back fit this year and was playing and got injured. He's only been available again recently.

[MWHIBBIES]

Craigen like many of the exPlayers plaguing our game being controversial just for the sake of it.Yeah, Robbie Savage and Craig Burley are always at it as well, its embarrassing to listen to.

[Tyler Durden]

:agree: I didn't blame Fenlon for that though. He was at fault for all three goals, wasn't he? I don't mind Cairney, he's got a bit of creativity and skill that we don't really have in other players, but he was poor for quite a lot of the latter half of last season even without his injury. I'm glad he seems to be getting back to his early 2012/13 season form though.

It was typical Fenlon management to me - he hadn't played in weeks, sticks him in a semi final where agreed, he was terrible. Then just writes the guy off.

See Mullen also. Probably not fit to play SPFL but Fenlon signs him, plays ok first game of season. Poor first half in next 2 games and he's subbed never to be seen again! No wonder players lose confidence

[Aldo]

Unlucky Collins. Good chasing

Btw Is Heff wearing big lead weighted diving boots the nite?

[Hibs Class]

Another decent chance for Heff. We've started the half okay.

Maybe unfairly because I haven't seen much of him but in my mind, he's a bit of a diver. One of these frustrating players that if they stayed on their feet, they'd be some threat...

FFS once again we sat far to deep in the last 15 minutes, that said it took a wonder goal.... hopefully Terry gets the boys back up and ready for next week

[BroxburnHibee]

The Dons were the better team IMHO but we almost got a draw.

Moment of brilliance won it.

[heretoday]

No lack of spirit in the team but we need better players.

2 full-backs, 2 decent experienced midfielders and at least one sharp striker.

Nothing wrong in central defence on tonight's showing.

[kaimendhibs]

So was Stevensons at ER but it was still a defeat.

Nae **** Sherlock. In what way were we soft? Away from home, defended 11 corners without losing. Didn't do much up front but soft?

They have some good players. Thought we deserved a draw. Front players not able to hold the ball up through either being static or not having good control.

[greenpaper55]

never deserved to lose that one, they got a goal from nothing, we matched them all over the park so don't feel to down after this.

[M11BMO]

Practically the same 11/12 players for the past few games... I think tiredness is now becoming an issue. Hopefully after the transfer window TB will have managed to bring in some additional quality in order to rotate the players a bit more. Nothing to be too disheartened about, Aberdeen are playing well and never an easy place to go. Onwards and upwards.

[Northernhibee]

Absolute garbage.

From what I've seen (bits and pieces whilst 'workimg') I disagree. Unlucky to lose to a very good team who produced one moment of magic.

[SouthamptonHibs]

Liam craig very disappointing tonight...poor delivery from every set piece

Just hoofed the ball up the park all game didn't play football once. In games like that you need a player like Kevin T to hold onto the ball

[Gatecrasher]

I thought we gave a decent account of ourselves in stages. Good goal for Aberdeen but given that Dundee utd and Aberdeen seem to be the best Teams outside Celtic and we matched them I'm quite happy. Onto next week!

:agree:

[Dan Sarf]

Our team's the greatest, we never give up. :flag:

[Aldo]

Quality and pace in final 3rd is a must before the transfer window closes.

We need a Barry Robson type player to get hold of the ball and pass it about

[Onion]

Cairney & Robertson were passengers tonight - like playing with 9 men. Thought our back 4 were all excellent, but we just didn't create anything. Dons will not have a luckier 3 points this season.

[Sprouleflyer]

Very poor game with a wonder goal to separate the teams.

Oh well, lets move onto the next game, 4 on the bounce at home?

[Del Boy]

Honeymoons over. Get better players in.

[lucky]

Thought we deserved a draw but never really looked like scoring

[hibbeedavid]

Got nothing, deserved nothing, don't deserve anything from a game when you creat NOTHING over the 90 mins

Aberdeen not at their best tonight and yes it's a flukey goal but at least they seemed to have some some sense of idea of what to do in the final third

TB has his work cut out with trying to get this time to be creative, new additions needed ASAP

I agree but the midfield was anonymous today and created nothing going forward - even with a couple of decent strikers we wouldn't have been doing anything else except launch the ball forward to them at every opportunity.


All 4 across the midfield created nothing and I'm pretty disappointed that the last 2 games could have gained us 4 points but instead we've ended up with 1. Need a bit of pace and guile in the team urgently.

[One Day Soon]

I tell you what, Flood got far too much time to line that shot up and Harris should have closed him far quicker.

However what I take from that game away at Aberdeen is that given what Butcher and Malpas have managed so far with Fenlon's players I am very excited about what is to come once they get their own guys in.

[SaulGoodman]

Never been so positive about Hibs for a while.

Gave a good account of ourselves against two teams I thought we'd struggle against.

[AndySOL1875]

Didnt think we looked too out of place against the so called 2nd best team in the league, just struggled going forward but great to see Harris back!

GGTTH :flag:

[ShadesLongThrow]

Desperately need some pace up front. I really like Collins but he is slow. I don't think Heff looks that fit either. A fast forward to run at defences in the window would make a huge difference.

[Andy74]

Not a fan of Cairney then?
He was probably our most creative player

That would be Kenny Miller then.

[cabbageandribs1875]

hopefully with a few players out on loan(and one released) that's the plan

[BroxburnHibee]

Some right bed wetters on here tonight :greengrin

[HibbyKeith]

Disappointing to not get a point, If Aberdeen are the benchmark then we'll be alright.

Really need to add some quality up front, and genuine pace to the team though.

no knee jerk reactions needed, the supposed 2nd best team in the league and radio love in boys just needed a 86th min wonder strike to win.

Thought Paul Hanlon strolled through the game, I almost forgot Vernon was playing.

[Tyler Durden]

Unlucky tonight. It did show we lack a bit of quality in the final third.

Thought Hanlon and Forster were excellent. Craig was far too keen to pitch balls into channels for me though. Stanton seemed more keen to put his foot on the ball which is what we needed.

Still, with Harris back and a few players moved on hopefully we can sign some creativity and there's a lot to look forward to.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Willo flood ignoring all the Hibs players. Gollum looking ****

Put them out two cups better than one poxy goal. Disappointed with that loss. But they're not 2nd without reason. At least we're no longer the spring-board to kick-start folks season. Defence still pretty stingy given then number of corners. Let's hear TBs thoughts...

[hibbymick]

We need strikers who can score goals, its not really that difficult. I like collins workrate but IMO hes Eoin doyle wi less goals.

[Hibercelona]

That's what happens when you give the ball away too cheaply. Most of the game is played in your own final 3rd and all it takes is a piece of individual brilliance and it's game over.

We have to retain possession better.

Onwards and upwards.

[kaimendhibs]

It wasn't me who said we were soft.

Ok, apologies

:agree: We didn't have much on the bench either imho. Stanton hasn't really shown anything in the first team yet and Harris is just back and Cummings is still finding his feet in the first team too.

Aberdeen have a better squad than us but even still it took a cracking strike to beat us. Not too worrying, and the defeat told us nothing that we didn't already know about the team.

[Northernhibee]

A loss away to the team in second and in form and 'honeymoons over'?

It's not the team who are soft by any means.

[leggeto]

The Dons were the better team IMHO but we almost got a draw.

I agree,it was a good strike tbh,defence did ok but Collins needs to hold the ball up more and win his share of headers to take some pressure off them,was hoping for the draw at the start

[Makaveli]

Still can't believe he put Stanton on.

I like the boy but he has zero presence in midfield, nowhere near strong enough against a team like that. Easy to say now but IMO it seemed obvious that it had to be OTJ.

[eastterrace]

No lack of spirit in the team but we need better players.

2 full-backs, 2 decent experienced midfielders and at least one sharp striker.

how do we need a right back forster was up and down the pitch whole game, also took all the throw ins he must be knackered and here is you saying we need 2 full backs, great effort from him but you must have thought he was mince to make a comment like that

[Onion]

FFS once again we sat far to deep in the last 15 minutes, that said it took a wonder goal.... hopefully Terry gets the boys back up and ready for next week

Our defence did a great job all night, but we seemed to lack fitness in the final 15. Ball breaks to Golum 25 yards out from our goal and not a Hibs player within 15 yards.
