I felt Hibs defended very well for 88 minutes of the game yesterday. Yes we sat back (this needs to be addressed ASAP) but it took a wonder strike to finally beat us. These things happen. Time to move on and take the positives out the game.
As for Aberdeen, surely they should be our benchmark. Similar sized support and stadium but they are 12 months ahead of us under McInnes. They are beginning to fulfil some of their potential and 8 wins out of 9 is impressive in any walks of football.
Under TB we have improved dramatically with the same players wee Pat had. There are always going to be blips here and there but I must admit how refreshing it is to have a manager the players clearly respect and want to work hard for. TB comes across a very diligent man in the media and handles himself very well. We have not had someone like that since Mowbray.
I have no doubt in my mind that we will catch up with Aberdeen, Motherwell, Utd etc next season but for now let's just enjoy the ride. This is as good as it has been for years and hopefully will only get better. Aberdeens squad is better than Hibs just now but I'm sure after the next 2 transfer windows we will be just as good if not better.
