Well done Cummings. When are we going to start fielding our best team? FFS we could have walked this if this lot playing now started this match.

I bumped into a few of them this morning, wasn't the best day to be wearing a Green peoples republic of Leith t shirt haha

Well done the cabbage, can it change my mind, winning a game in the 99th minute does sound fun:top marks

[McIntosh]

Well the strike force picks itself now!

Ah well ,the roller coaster continues !!

[HoboHarry]

Well that 3rd goal was a bit of a buzz-kill for all the hystericals wasn't it?

[SteveHFC]

We didn't deserve to win that!

[FitbaFolkKen]

I'm knackered just listening to that!!!!!!

Great subs by Stubbs, turned the game :thumbsup: :fishin: Hopefully a lesson learned!

[HoboHarry]

We didn't deserve to win that!
We scored more than them so yes we did.

[Cropley10]

Good three points. Well done Hibs :aok:

We struggled again against a part time side despite the win.

:greengrin I despise this club at times, i got up and was walking round the house cursing the team management owner and of course Petrie when it was 1-2 and 2-2, yet when we scored i gave out an almighty scream of joy that woke the dead. :greengrin

Papers over the cracks.

Hystericals?

Being 2-1 down at home to a part-time team is acceptable, is it?

[California-Hibs]

Less of this 'falling out of love with Hibs' nonsense. We done it the hard way but we dug in and got the WIN today along with Hearts only managing a measly draw with Dumbarton (who we managed to beat).

Enjoy the weekend now. Cummings and Malonga up front for the foreseeable. Very important 3 points today!

Happy Birthday Pat! :thumbsup:

[McHibby]

Just wish there was something I could do. It's like watching a loved one die

To be honest we do all we possibly can. We buy tickets and merchandise, we give up Saturday after Saturday and Saturday to support the team. No matter how poor the football is or how many lows are reached, we still pay up the following week.

[McIntosh]

This. well apparently so... it it is a pity about the rest of the team.

[Thecat23]

well apparently so... it it is a pity about the rest of the team.

Aye that's true!

[Frogga]

It's good to see us showing the mental strength to come back despite the obvious deficits :agree:

Well done to Malonga, Cummings et al on a great come back.


Hopefully a lesson learned.

The results this week we're pretty good for us I think, obviously losing would have been catastrophic but has turned into a good week. Don't know how much football Malonga has had so I'm assuming he didn't want to risk injuries by pushing him too soon but he'll start next week I'm sure of it

[CRAZYHIBBY]

When do we get to see the highlights

[Sweet Left Peg]

Did Hibs play well? Did we pass the ball about and create chances?

[Hibbyradge]

Must start Cummings now

He's better off the bench.

[SanFranHibs]

Although there were some freebies today 11,021 is not too bad after recent performances and Alan Rough and the Central FM commentator were complimentary and said the Hibs fans 'are only waiting for something to happen' and will turn out.

Can't believe Stubbs did not start Malonga. We can't score goals, sign a quick, strong striker and sit him on the bench whilst Heffernan extends his personal best 'time played without a goal' record.

On a side note cannot say I was not so impressed with the commentators 'subliminal' No campaign plug, about 'being in the second city of the Empire'. Never knew the Empire still existed let alone that Partick was ever the second city :wink:

Well, I was nerarly right on the unoffical Match day thread this morning. I said we would celebrate Pat's birthday, win and Hearts would drop 2 points. Only part I got wrong was I said it would be a confidence boosting win. Well, next week then and AS had better start Malonga and Cummings!

[truehibernian]

Great fight back, persistent, actually quite composed despite being down 2-1 - I think tonight we need to praise the side and Stubbs rather than over analyse things !

It's often rhetoric but that's a game that we'd never have won last season - quite impressed that the younger players seemed to always show for the ball and play with urgency, especially when we went behind.

Strike force of Malonga and Cummings has to be allowed to develop and grow though.

Great win and equally great 3 points.

[Keith_M]

Did we............. create chances?


Three


:wink:

[HoboHarry]

Couldn't give a rats erchie if we had been 4-1 down at some point in the match. We won in the end.

Good to hear you say that TH, I always pay attention to what you think and that gives me confidence we're on the road to recovery.
Listened on Forth2 and I actually thought the crowd stayed with the team too, hopefully that was part of the recovery as well?

[Beefster]

Couldn't give a rats erchie if we had been 4-1 down at some point in the match. We won in the end.

It's not really good enough though. I'll take a win but it can't be allowed to gloss over the fact that we haven't won a game convincingly this season and are sitting mid-table. In the Championship.

I beg to differ..


2 against Hamilton and one against Alloa from the start.


Id love to see us ditch the negativity and start with 2 up top against Pish like Cowden***inbeith!!

[worcesterhibby]

Well done Hibs..3 points in the bag. Sick of people on here who think that football games only last 55minutes and are calling for boycotts and sacking when the team is getting beat. Good job the players didn't give up.

Hibs just three points off the play off place that we need to be in at the end of the season.

Malonga looks good

onwards and upwards

I really don't get the point your making. They ARE a part-time team. That's not an insult, merely a fact.

Wth our budget and being Full-Time, we should be able to put out a team to beat part-timers every week.

Agree 100%

But we are yet again in a rebuilding stage....we can't expect to get relegated, lose 16 players, rebuild with a large cut in player budget and expect just to turn up and win every week.

I pray this is a turning point and the team and manager can start the gradual recovery required from the recent trauma...it's tough to watch for sure but a couple of more wins and we might just start to see a half decent football team start to reappear from half a decade of nonsense!!

[green.and.white]

Delighted with the win, great persistence from the team and fans. However, I'm worried about us defensively, I'll need to see their second goal again but it looked pretty messy.

Let's hope the team get some confidence from that and push on

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

What a game :greengrin

[Hiber-nation]

Concede goals like that every week and we've not a hope of top 3.

[NOLA]

a wins a win and im happy Pat Stanton wasnt let down on his birthday :thumbsup: must do better though, struggling to beat part time teams isnt on, lets hope we kick on now but the defence still gives me worries and this is the 1st division FFS

[truehibernian]

Is it fair to say it was a 20 minute spell that we were poor for? If that's our problem then I think it is fixable especially with the new players adding urgency

For me, my thoughts are that this is a very new league, one which Hibs have not been used to in a good while, and we will take a little time to settle into things. At home, teams will come to frustrate because it's been highlighted by opposition managers that the crowd may turn (they were excellent today however). Also going to Easter Road, Ibrox and Tynecastle are a step up for them and these sides are a scalp, so you would expect players to raise their game, something Hibs players have to match and exceed when up against them. That is why we struggled last year versus Raith, Hamilton and Stranraer......the work rate wasn't good enough nor was the energy levels.

Today I think was about concentration levels - first goal goes in, well worked but a little slack defending, then the side dwelled on that and let Cowdenbeath in again because I think they'd been stunned.

Crowd stayed with the side, players like Kennedy and McGeough (and Gray and Stevenson) never hid, always wanting the ball when we went behind, drove the team forward, Malonga makes central defenders think and occupies them and stretches them, Cummings comes on like a wasp and annoys and is direct......a real nuisance, so that means all four or five C'beath defenders have to commit and have to be focused.

The subs were all positive, not only that, it now puts pressure on Heffernan and Craig to start stepping up to the mark.

Hibs have assembled the side/squad quite late, so as I posted a few weeks back, this first few weeks we will see inconsistent performances and results, some good some bad. The football strategy must be where we get to a position where come windows we are only adding two or three and releasing two or three......not the mass exodus we are used to.

I also think it will take a few more games before Stubbs and the fans know the settled side. That is what breeds confidence, wins and a settled side, each knowing their game. It'll come, and results like this, although heart-stopping, are still great wins.

[Kato]

Still very early days for Stubbs and I sort of understand why he's starting with an experienced striker. Hopefully he'll understand that Heffernan isn't offering much and throw caution to the wind more ofen. It takes time for a club in Hibs position to develop a winning habit so I'm surprised at the tentativeness of some of our performances.

Part-time clubs at this stage of the season will be busting a gut for our scalp so it makes our hesitancy all the more understandable.


However we do need to start dominating games and showing less weakness in defence.

Hopefully that'll start happenin soon and we relieve some of the stress on our blood pressure. I still think Stubbs is a good choice.

[HoboHarry]

Concede goals like that every week and we've not a hope of top 3.
Score three goals every week and we will win the league.

[KingFranck]

Well that was awful stuff yet again. Stubbs you have to start games at ER with 2 strikers and one can't be Heff

[Bostonhibby]

Well done Hibs, not bothered about how we got it, a win today was required - a wee bit evidence that spirit is emerging and we have a leader on the pitch as captain?

Today was not a day for losing or drawing.

[GreenLake]

I feel cheated out of the feeling of self-pity and grief which was taking hold with 20 minutes to go.

Work rate and learning to get pace back in our game will have been Stubbs greatest challenge I'm sure, the static game we have become used to over the last 3 years or so isn't easy to coach out of the players used to these tactics.
In contrast Hearts have probably always had graft at the core of their skillset for years and it will have set them up for this league ahead of ourselves which has been showing up till this week perhaps?
Down for a couple of games in October so hopefully good improvement by then

[Hibby Bairn]

[Hiber-nation]

Worst team in the league at home today. Awful for most of the game. There is definitely hope with Malonga though so I'm not writing us off but these 2 goals were absolutely criminal, same as most we've conceded this season.

[SunshineOnLeith]

That wasn't good enough today, but credit to the players for crawling over the line. Hearts result today just goes to show that everyone will drop points unexpectedly, we've just had a minger of a start which isn't helpful.

There were a few embarrassed looking faces among the players while they applauded the crowd at the end.

[O'Rourke3]

First half we played OK but they put everyone behind the ball. Decent goal but since Cowden weren't interested in crossing the half way line then pressing them is what we should have been doing. We were never going through them so should have made every effort to go round the side. First half - no-one wanted to shoot either.

Second half, Cowden had heard that we get a de-motivation speech and don't play as well. They had 3 attempts on goal and gawd knows how the second attempt stayed out. Even at that stage we had no real pace about the team.
very slow to get back and slow to support the forwards.

2 Clear penalty shouts and neither given until the lino stepped in. Decent debut goal for Malonga who if he gets his head up will be a real asset. After that we really upped the pace and despite not deserving it, managed to sklaff a winner in around 95 mins.

Kennedy is great to watch but needs to release the ball earlier. Teams are going to get used to him running with his head down and play him out the game. McGeouch was quite impressive today. Thought Sinclair looked ok then he seemed to lose any footballing skills. Stanton is no good on the wing and it's wingers we needed today (with 2 or 3 up top - not 1). Not sure why Booth wasn't there. Lewis did have a nightmare.

Nice to see the fight till the end but they could have been trying a lot harder a lot earlier to unsettle them.

Thought ref was poor. Too many bad challenges with a ticking off, time wasting - 2 bookings for dissent and one for deliberate hand ball when there some obvious yellows.

First goals I've seen from my new seat for us at my end too.

[EdinMike]

Today shows what we all feared. We are Tom Kite, and we best get used to life within mediocrity...

The new "Hibs Way"

[cabbageandribs1875]

i thought we would have been a bit more solid at the back with Hanlon back playing, not sure who was to blame for the two cowden goals but my gawd are we easy to rip open at the back, quite surprised at the low attendance(11,021) and that giving away thousands of free tickets as well, and a hibs kids game, which means thousands are not convinced with the new winds of change...and i certainly don't blame them

[Smartie]

We've had too many piss-poor results over the years where we have failed to get over the line for me to be too downbeat. We got the job done, got the three points and then the post-mortem can be done later.

Definite positives - we scored 3, showed bottle to come back and win the game from a tricky position.
Promising debuts from McGeough, Malonga and Sinclair.
Solid first half where we prevented them from creating anything.
Early changes from Stubbs that changed the course of the game.
Kennedy looks a very good player, even when there's not much coming off for him he poses a threat and doesn't let his head go down.


Definite negatives though - it was a very scrappy win at home against probably the poorest team in the league.
Questionable starting line-up with cagey tactics for a game we'd expect to dominate.
Keystone cops style defending at moments at the start of the second half. Abysmal stuff.
Heff had a "quiet" game - some might say honking.
Many moments of hesitancy where players seemed afraid to attack the ball, costing us at both ends.
The "mentality" can again be questioned given how easily we fell out of a game that we had been dominating comfortably.

My biggest concern is how badly we seem to fare during the second half of games - I have no idea what might be causing this but it's been a consistent feature of our games so far this season. We got away with it today and against Dumbarton but whilst I think we've really played some good stuff in the first halves of all of the games we've played this season we seem to totally tail off in the second. If we can learn to play for 90 minutes the way in most of the first halves then we'll be fine.

:agree:
We played better against Falkirk and lost. I know which Saturday evening I was happier with.

We need to start enjoying wins. We go absolutely apesh*t at a defeat (or even going behind), and apparently go apesh*t if we scrape a win.

Stubbs said he needed a side that had a plan B to win games and not rely on the one tactic to win. Plan A wasn't working today, he changed it, we won. Let's give the team some credit for digging in and getting the win.

[Hamish]

Well that was awful stuff yet again. Stubbs you have to start games at ER with 2 strikers and one can't be Heff


I didn't think it was Del. As against Dumbarton, the first 15/20 minutes of second half we were all over the place. Apart from that we were ok though we still need pace and guile. McGeouch played too deep until Allan went off. Subs made a difference. Improvement required, but there are positives.

I'm sorry Matty, but gimps and sevco aside this team should get no praise at all for winning games in this league. We as a club should expect to win games against the rest of the teams in this league.

This might come across as a little arrogant, and i hope it does. We need to have this, we need to impose ourselves and be beating these teams at a canter.

Yes there could be the odd upset, but the day i get all excited because we have come back from the dead to beat Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton is the day give football and Hibs up for ever.

We need to start enjoying wins. We go absolutely apesh*t at a defeat (or even going behind), and apparently go apesh*t if we scrape a win.

Stubbs said he needed a side that had a plan B to win games and not rely on the one tactic to win. Plan A wasn't working today, he changed it, we won. Let's give the team some credit for digging in and getting the win.

:agree:

We had to win today, it doesn't matter how we did it.

[matty_f]

I'm sorry Matty, but gimps and sevco aside this team should get no praise at all for winning games in this league. We as a club should expect to win games against the rest of the teams in this league.

This might come across as a little arrogant, and i hope it does. We need to have this, we need to impose ourselves and be beating these teams at a canter.

Yes there could be the odd upset, but the day i get all excited because we have come back from the dead to beat Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton is the day give football and Hibs up for ever.

Nobody is saying get excited about it (God forbid we start enjoying things), but they're going to have games where things don't go our way and we have to pull a win out of somewhere, and when we do that then there's no harm in giving credit for it. Football is played over 90 minutes, so long as at the end of the game we've scored more than them then I'll accept that.

The day I grudge Hibs a win is the day I give Hibs and football up forever.

I really thought we would turn them over comfortably as they are bottom of the league for a reason The fact we made it so difficult for ourselves is a concern The goals
lost particularly the second are embarrassing against part time outfit . on plus side all three new boys played there part in lifting things and showed Stubbs needs to stop giving Heff his chance ,he has had three home games and not scored we can't afford that from one of top earners .

We're really kidding ourselves on though that we'll get out this division 1st go if we can only just scrape past part time teams who's players spend the rest if their week fixing cars, building fences etc..

Charging top dollar to the fans and paying these clowns of players a decent wage and they struggle, struggle, struggle every week..

I can see why the 3 points are huge, if we'd lost or even drawn today this place would be in meltdown and rightly so. I dont think scraping wins against these teams is good enough, as i said before scraping the odd win is fine but we really should win and win well against teams like Cowdenbeath.

We need to have that arrogant streak, we need to knock these teams over like skittles, and if we did results like today would be enjoyed much more, because they'd not be the norm.

We all want the team to win, and yes 3 points is 3 points, but don't kid yourself Matty, this is far from being remotely good enough for Hibs.

[Judas Iscariot]

Gutted?

Oh aye, spewing we won..

I'll put down my party poppers, Buck's Fizz and whistle now that I've finished celebrating beating the mighty Cowdenbeath.. Just

[emerald green]

i thought we would have been a bit more solid at the back with Hanlon back playing, not sure who was to blame for the two cowden goals but my gawd are we easy to rip open at the back, quite surprised at the low attendance(11,021) and that giving away thousands of free tickets as well, and a hibs kids game, which means thousands are not convinced with the new winds of change...and i certainly don't blame them

To be honest I'm not surprised at the attendance. So many Hibs supporters are now former supporters.

Many season ticket holders mustn't have been able to even give away free tickets, even on the occasion of one of our greatest ever player's 70th birthday celebration / recognition.

This shows the gulf that has opened up between the club and the broader fan base.

What's the answer? Well, that's been debated on these forums until it has now become tedious.

A season ticket holder was good enough to shove a free ticket through my letter box this morning but for a couple of reasons I never used it. However I'd lie if I said that a wee bit of apathy didn't come into it.

[Scouse Hibee]

What would you prefer mate? I am past careing about good football. It has mostly been a myth anyway. Points on the board is my only concern at the minute.

Okay fair enough we got the points, what disappoints me though is that our formation before the game even starts tells you that we are afraid of losing to Cowdenbeath at home rather than being positive and playing without fear.

We have a squad full of players who should be ripping teams at the level of Cowdenbeath at home yet we start with one up front ( the least mobile player) of our options. We are allowing ourselves to be dragged down to their level it has to stop!

the worrying thing is that there are fans that will have been lost forever, it's very easy to find other things to do on a Saturday other than witness one demoralising defeat after another(last two seasons especially) and paying £22 for the privilege

I'm saying this having not seem the game, but from what I've heard from people at the game we deserved the win. I think the stats will back that up. We went behind and so it looks like we've just scraped it but there was apparently only one team looking to win. And that team won.

Not convinced matty.

I said that about the falkirk game but that wasn't the case today imo. we had a lot of possession without creating much, they could have got another as well.

We were very lethargic for long spells,why Heffernan and Stanton started I don't know, likewise I've no idea why we only started with one up front.

:agree: Cowdenbeath got a way with some hefty challenges unpunished and got their just rewards for time wasting as soon as they went 2-1 up. For the majority of the game there was only one team in it.

I only listened on HI, and they were very disappointed with the performance, and once or twice mentioned us being lucky, but then did say at the end how their time wasting tactics had come back to haunt them in the end.

The new lads seemed to be involved a bit, and they did like the lad from Celtic and the new centre forward who came on and scored.

I have seen standards drop that much, where fans were not happy because we scraped into Europe, to now being happy we scraped a win against Cowdenbeath, and thats only over the last 5 years.:rolleyes:

Absolutely right Cowdenbeath didn't even look like they would have a shot at goal in the 1st half, they scored two very much against the run of play and then looked to time waste, frustrate and keep what they had, despite the help of the woeful referee they failed.........

[B.H.F.C]

Most of the new players we've brought in have made some kind of impact which is good.

Disappointed with Allan. He should be strolling games like this, making things happen for us. We are sadly lacking in the middle of the park though and I think a lot of our problems come from that area. The ball isn't moved quick enough. I think left back is still an issue and Stevenson is looking average at best.

In the main I think the players that are particularly poor are the ones still there from last year.

We were the better team from the first whistle to the last. We just found it difficult to break down a team that did absolutely nothing but defend for their lives and waste time. They crossed the halfway line about three times and it's our own fault that these times resulted in goals or near misses.

We definitely need to be more clinical and find a cutting edge but the new signings might just provide that based on today's evidence.

Oh yes the fans were truly magnificent, well worth the entrance fee alone, the drummer was on top of his game and should really think about taking it up professionally. If only I went to Easter Road to watch and listen to the fans eh!

I was not sitting at home, I was there as I always am watching, whining and bitching about the performance on the pitch, the football on offer which is what I go to a football match for, I couldn't give a stuff about anything else. So spare a thought for the fans that do go and are not stay at home or fair weather because I for one am just as unhappy as those who have chosen to stay away. God only knows why I don't!

[emerald green]

It was great to see the Blue Brazil goalie launch the ball into the stand after the final whistle in shear anger and frustration having lost right at the end.

He, especially, was guilty of blatant time wasting throughout the whole match, and got what he and his team deserved at the end. I'm not sure how much time there was added on, but it wasn't enough IMO. The referees really have to clamp down on this stuff. It spoils games.

I know there will be times when Hibs have to resort to these sort of tactics too, but not from the start of the match until the end FFS. He's probably doing what his boss tells him. Well, GIRUY.

[Brightside]

Yep, we struggled again today against another part-time side. We didn't deserve the win.

But i'm sure the happy clappers will reply to me saying I'm talking crap. :aok:

I'm no happy clapper and we were poor.. but they scored with 2 out of 3 attacks and we have about 70% position. We should have hammered them if we'd been more adventurous in the final 3rd. Why our wingers refuse to do a simple run to the byline and cutback to finish is beyond me.

When you defend as badly as we did for both goals, you could score against Hibs. Imagine what better teams could do against that type of defending, and its not as if its a one of either?

I keep harking back to what division we are in, but this is the Championship we are in, and to struggle in this league is a real sign of our quality as a whole.

We didn't defend in midfield tho BH. Our midfield was a static straight 4 and were shocking.

To an extent you are right, our midfield didn't really give us anything going that way. But our defence still had plenty opportunity to prevent the ball ending up in the net. When the ball came in to the box for the first goal the guy got across the front of his marker. Basic stuff. And the second one was comedy gold, was it between Gray and Forster? Just looked like a real lack of communication.

[MrSmith]

just looked at the league table, to say embarrassing and angry would be an understatement!! flipping well peed off to say the least, and fuming while really concerned gets a bit closer to my feelings. languishing in the bottom half of the table clearly says it all! I thought we were closer to them than we are and to see the team's above us .... **** I know it's only two wins away but we don't look like a team nor gelled unit at all. maybe next season in league one?

The first one would have been stopped if Forster drops 3 or 4 yards into the space the cross is always going to be played into.

The 2nd one Hanlon is the last line of defense and has to do much much better than that, EVERY time.

I'd only saw the goals at the game so wasn't sure who exactly was involved. It was clear that it wasn't great defending though. Strikers shouldn't be standing on their own in the six yard box.

Languishing in the bottom half? :thumbsup: I am assuming sarcasm?

Yep, we struggled again today against another part-time side. We didn't deserve the win.

But i'm sure the happy clappers will reply to me saying I'm talking crap. :aok:

You're talking crap. You must have had a blindfold on.

It was great to see the Blue Brazil goalie launch the ball into the stand after the final whistle I shear anger and frustration having lost right at the end.

He, especially, was guilty of blatant time wasting throughout the whole match, and got what he and his team deserved at the end. I'm not sure how much time there was added on, but it wasn't enough IMO. The referees really have to clamp down on this stuff. It spoils games.

I know there will be times when Hibs have to resort to these sort of tactics too, but not from the start of the match until the end FFS. He's probably doing what his boss tells him. Well, GIRUY.

Agree about not knowing how much time was added on. Not having a board going up is a joke and also no announcement of time added. I thought there should have been 10 mins after all the subs, the injuries and the blatant time wasting.

I think we played 6 minutes added on time. I looked at my watch as soon as the scoreboard hit 90 because I had about 5 minutes minimum in mind.

Worst performance at home this season. They were brutal too. No chance of going up playing like that.

:agree: In this day and age it just seems very amateurish.

To an extent you are right, our midfield didn't really give us anything going that way. But our defence still had plenty opportunity to prevent the ball ending up in the net. When the ball came in to the box for the first goal the guy got across the front of his marker. Basic stuff. And the second one was comedy gold, was it between Gray and Forster? Just looked like a real lack of communication.

2nd goal Hanlon was right in front of our goal and should and could have booted it up or out the park. instead he tippy tappied it about 6 ft in air right to one of their players

On the subject of time wasting keeper... Pretty sure it was our ex but still getting paid goalie coach Scott Thomson's laddie Robbie

Bury your head in the sand if you want. Which home performance this season was worse?

Tried double voiding ,it didn't work so the advice was Pish

[cabbageandribs1875]

was i hearing things or was music getting played over the Tannoy whilst we were still playing added on time at the end :confused: couple of mates in the West said they didn't hear it, but i did in the East i'm sure of it :greengrin

He was on the Cowden bench with the rest of their coaches yesterday.

Yep I think he's working for nowt as still trying to get a agreeable settlement from Hibs and can't get paid elsewhere til he does so.

Was certainly the case about a month ago. May have changed now

My eyes aren't the best that much I will concede and yep he did stretch for but missed the header then hooked it to their player instead of launching it

[Heisenberg]

Hanlon had a total shocker for their second goal. No doubt about it for me. Our defence as a whole needs to improve. Conceding soft goals against poor teams.
