No be far off a total clear out in the summer .imho
Not great but at least we know we will still have a team next season to follow .

It will be a complete clear out and the players know that. Will be a very different hibs next season, bad news at present being its bloody painful to watch to the end of the season.

100% faith in Terry 0% faith in almost all this team. To many who don't care and will be gone in the summer. Can't wait to see the back of 90% of this team.

Both Butcher and the players know who's going etc and I think it's came to both just wanting the season to end.

Some of these players need to have a huge look at themselves as players. As I posted a while ago. No danger are they giving 100%.

I really hope you are right mate. The trouble is the performances we have been seeing for a good part of TB & MM's time in charge are garbage. They are not likely to persuade anyone who is debating about buying a season ticket next season to get one.

Fair point, but there's surely more to it than just "picking the team"? He has to have them playing to a set of tactics that will work, have them passing to each other, working off the ball, working with the ball - and all the other footballing skills that small clubs like Thistle are demonstrating - he has to be able to get more out of these guys that he is currently managing: in a very-poor SPL this can't be too much to ask of a club with our aspirations?
We can't blame this all on the useless Fenlon and his legacy ... Butcher has to start providing answers

I don't disagree with any of that, I'm just not convinced that the vast majority of these players are capable of helping him, regardless of how he plays them.

Sadly the season tickets will drop I think. The board must invest in TB side and get in a few players that will make us want us to watch them. Doing so we may finish top 3/4 next season and they get their money back from the fans who would come back.

If they sit in and we just do the usual crap transfer window where targets are so far down from the first picks then they may as well shut 3 stands at ER. I'll buy a season ticket no matter what as I do nothing else on a sat. But I'll not be fussed about missing games if this happens.

Just watched that on alba we were outplayed in every department,started well kept throwing crosses into the box with nobody capable of putting them away,ball was like a hot tattie,pre-season will be busy for butcher,Higginbotham ran the game all day good player

Said on the 'starting team' thread last night, our season can be defined by the fact that we lose 3 or 4 goals pretty much every single week, yet our same defence picks itself every game. Something far wrong there. Today done nothing to change my opinion, obviously

[Hibernia&Alba]

Another season of embarrassing, unacceptable underachievement. Same old Hibs. I just want to relegate the Yams and get to the summer so yet again we can start from scratch. It's a miserable existence.
