Is it me or did anybody feel that the last 20 or so minutes of the game was played (by Hibs that is) at a slow walking pace?
Absolutely no urgency whatsoever despite being a goal down.
Falkirk had three men up at times closing down our defence when we were in possession. We barely have three men up when we're attacking.
Apart from one or two, nobody seems to want the ball. Probably because when they get it there's nobody to pass to (except the guy behind).
The man in possession should have options.
When we have possession, most players stand static next to their marker and make no attempt to find space to take a pass.
This is not a new problem, been going on for years. Each manager cannot seem to get that drive from the players.
Where's the hunger? Every week it's like we're playing a bounce game against a team who are playing in a cup final.

They pressed us all over the pitch all game and gave us little time on the ball, we could do with looking at that and having some urgency in our tempo.
