Every single effin time we seem to turn a tiny little corner were once again found wanting after playing that complete and utter pile of sh€$e. I just don't get it. I left as soon as they got the penalty. Every team In the past several years have had many a terrific day against that lot, but us, we capitulate every single time. Another fantastic hibs support let down by what seems to be the norm. Slag whatever player you want, slag the manager, slag the back room staff, slag the board if it makes you feel better. There's only one guarantee, and that is that hibs will suck us all in again with a handful of results until we meet them again and I can pretty much guarantee you the outcome.

I'm effin sick to the back teeth of it. What is our problem? I do not get it. They are effin rank rotten yet still manage to do us nearly every time

You are not alone in feeling this way. The answer is simple: We do not collectively believe that we will win against that lot. When our captain blows a chance to gain a psychological edge, that deja vu feeling likely returned and was felt by those players who relegated us last season and who suffered capitulation after capitulation, derby defeat after derby defeat. Alan Stubbs knows we have an inferiority complex and has commented on it. Changing the collective mental side of his players is his greatest challenge. This defeat will set the players back for a while and A.S.knows he will have his work cut out getting many of last seasons players to truly believe in their ability to win against that lot.
On the positive side, we matched them physically over the piece and can take heart from this, but A.S. must surely bring in more new faces before the deadline: faces who will bring in fresh mind sets, unaffected by recollections of 5 derby defeats in 12 months.

I think midfield could have been stronger. Stanton and Harris, Harris was good in the 1st half then disappeared in the 2nd...Stanton I'm not sure he is That good??

Allan looked good but we have the same issue as last season we need more goal threat in the team and the midfield just doesn't offer that....

This being the case, what does that make Hibs?

IMO Hibs lost the midfield. Gomis, Bauben and Holt dominated for large spells. Craig and Robertson were poor especially at Nicholson's goal where they both gave him too much space to set up the shot.

But hey, you keep that chip firmly wedged into you shoulder. Me, I expect roles to change by the next derby at ER.

As was pointed out on the radio, it's still basically the same side that were relegated. There is maybe an improvement on the playing side but there is still a losing mentality throughout the team. They have a fear of losing , that was evident the longer the game went.

We didn't turn a corner though. People thinking a few friendlies and scraping a home win against Livi was turning a corner were deluded. I don't blame Stubbs, he was left with a team of useless bottlers

I couldn't believe how quiet they were on the radio. I actually thought we'd scored our penalty as it was so quiet. Would have expected to hear a big reaction from them.

Was not at all surprised by the result today. We came in unprepared and unstaffed and they as usual were fired up and ready for what they see as THE game of the season. Textbook derby.

The question is, will we get our act together and kick on from here or will it be same old, same old? The question's been asked many times before, but now more than ever we need to answer in the affirmative.

very well said sir 100% right imo

Its a sad story of events when we, as a club would rather settle for a point then win , esp in a derby.


I howeve ram unsure how we get out of this rut though?s you said there seems to be a mental losing mentallity throughout the team.
Yje worst thing i felt and of course imo is when they scored i felt damn thats them won, i meant in the sense, upto that point we had 2 maybe 3 little chances.THIS seems to be the norm against that lot. who could WE turn to spark that *something*
who could we look to to score?

It is annoying to always seemingly lose to them, no matter how even a game is, or how good we seem to play previously agianst other teams we go into the game against heartz sorta knowing it ll be a close game, and we ll lose it.

Pains me to say it but that's, IMO a Hibs.net myth. They are better than we are prepared to admit. Last season, with a bunch of raw kids, they still amassed more points than we did.

The margins were very fine today, the game could easily have gone either way, in fact the Yams weren't that far from chucking a 2 goal lead.
I don't think it was a mentality issue or that we didn't realise the importance of the game. When the Yams conceded the penalty it wasn't because they were insufficiently prepared for the game, or because they had a loser's mentality yet on another day it could have been catastrophic for them -how often recently have we seen the team that scores first in the derby go on to win it? Like I said, fine margins.

We need to be careful that we see this for what it was, a narrow defeat to a team who look roughly as good as we are. It's not a sign that the weaknesses of last season are still prevailing, or that we're miles off the pace, or that we have accepted an inferiority to the Yams.
It was a sore defeat, we never want to lose to them but let's keep some perspective. Stubbs has had a few weeks with this team, it's going to take longer than that to fix us.

Apart from not making changes sooner , I am prepared to give AS time. Sam S was way off the pace, Robertson cannot last beyond 60 minutes and Danny was barely involved. Changes were needed much sooner. Neilson or Levein seized initiative and made changes. Did they influence result? Not sure. Keeping Robertson on sure did. As did Craig's shocking pen attempt.

I agree. I think a lot of the criticism from some posters may just come from a sense of complete frustration and disappointment that Hibs have lost this latest derby when possibly they deserved a draw at least. We just rarely seem to get the "rub of the green" against Hertz. I've got that same old familiar horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach as I'm typing this post. I'll never get used to it.

The supporters must give AS and his team time to repair the damage that's been done to this club on the footballing side over I'd say the last 6/7 years.

The squad is still threadbare IMO and we have to get a few more good players in this month. Whether or not the club can afford to do that is the $64,000 question.

Well said. A lot of the problem is of our own making. Over the past week we have had prediction threads on here building up a false sense of expectation. It is the normal practice before derby games but we go into these games expecting an outstanding win when in reality that was never going to be the case.

The difference between the teams today came down to the outcome of two penalties. It was a more even match that many of late. Let us give AS our backing and maybe the next derby will be in Hibs' favour.

The margins were very fine today, the game could easily have gone either way, in fact the Yams weren't that far from chucking a 2 goal lead.
I don't think it was a mentality issue or that we didn't realise the importance of the game. When the Yams conceded the penalty it wasn't because they were insufficiently prepared for the game, or because they had a loser's mentality yet on another day it could have been catastrophic for them -how often recently have we seen the team that scores first in the derby go on to win it? Like I said, fine margins.

We need to be careful that we see this for what it was, a narrow defeat to a team who look roughly as good as we are. It's not a sign that the weaknesses of last season are still prevailing, or that we're miles off the pace, or that we have accepted an inferiority to the Yams.
It was a sore defeat, we never want to lose to them but let's keep some perspective. Stubbs has had a few weeks with this team, it's going to take longer than that to fix us.
I totally agree about it being fine margins, and that there wasn't much between the teams. What worries me is that unless we strengthen up and bring more players in we will be stuck with a squad of 18 players until Jan. I'm paranoid, I openly admit that, but I'm starting to believe that Stubbs has probably been told there's little or no more money to spend on the team in any case. That would partially explain why we've still got most of the team that were so poor last season, he just can't afford to change the whole team, for a good while anyway. IMO we shouldn't be just concerned with Hearts and Rangers, QOS and Falkirk will certainly be no pushover with the squad we've got at the moment.It's very early days into the season though, so we'll see.

This being the case, what does that make Hibs?

IMO Hibs lost the midfield. Gomis, Bauben and Holt dominated for large spells. Craig and Robertson were poor especially at Nicholson's goal where they both gave him too much space to set up the shot.

But hey, you keep that chip firmly wedged into you shoulder. Me, I expect roles to change by the next derby at ER.

You keep expecting I have for years and it never changes. Hearts have won more Derbies at ER than Hibs FFS !

Pains me to say it but that's, IMO a Hibs.net myth. They are better than we are prepared to admit. Last season, with a bunch of raw kids, they still amassed more points than we did.

:agree:, you will now be classed as a troll and even a non Hibby. I wonder what folk actually see when they go to the games at times.

We can all see the change of style under Stubbs, that was a must. Yet we still have the majority of those who took us down starting, 8 yesterday.

This has to change, and change quickly for us to challenge in my opinion.

:agree: I agree 100%. Alan Stubbs must surely bring in fresh faces with drive, belief and determination to win at all costs.

I was just curious. Couldn't think how else to word the question. I couldn't see it on this thread but I've not read all the threads.

Every single effin time we seem to turn a tiny little corner were once again found wanting after playing that complete and utter pile of sh€$e. I just don't get it. I left as soon as they got the penalty. Every team In the past several years have had many a terrific day against that lot, but us, we capitulate every single time. Another fantastic hibs support let down by what seems to be the norm. Slag whatever player you want, slag the manager, slag the back room staff, slag the board if it makes you feel better. There's only one guarantee, and that is that hibs will suck us all in again with a handful of results until we meet them again and I can pretty much guarantee you the outcome.

I'm effin sick to the back teeth of it. What is our problem? I do not get it. They are effin rank rotten yet still manage to do us nearly every time

Totally agree mate.

Unfortunately, they seem to somehow always raise their game when they face ANY Hibs side. From u16 right through.
Obsessed with us.
