Thing I love most about the 2nd goal in that clip is the reactions from Stanton and Boyle. Also the rest of the players outside of the clip, I know it's easy to expect your players to be delighted at scoring a 90th minute winner but it shows the togetherness and the fact they know what's at stake. It would have been easy for many squads before this one to play this down as "Oh well we dropped 2 points but we have won the last 5/6 in a row so cut us some slack" not this one, they want every point from every game.

Does anyone else notice one of our players getting wiped out in the box as that throw came in? Whistle should have went immediately!!

Yep blatant foul on Robertson though central defenders should have dealt with it better. Hanlon and Watson seemed to get in each others way but very weak header. Obvious foul and should have been ruled out.

[Hermit Crab]

Howling defending for their goal. Hopeful throw into our box. Have to defend those better.

Clear foul on Scott Robertson tbf Hermit and should of been pulled up by ref.

By all accounts we should of had the game well won before HT but didn't capitalise.

Did it the hard way but 3pts are 3 pts at the business end of the season.

I expect Gray, Allan, McGeouch and Malonga to be in the starting 11 on Sat.

Yes I thought robo was fouled but you're right. 3 points. Disappointed by losing our clean sheet record though.

First thing I noticed when watching it, how on earth did the ref or his assistant not see that? a more blatant barge in the back you will never see and the ref in particular had a very good view of it.

Even stranger considering he had been fussy at our corners and given them two free kicks for very innocuous challenges in their box.

Mind I think the ref is a follower of St Mirren (I think) so perhaps he is worried come the play offs :cb

He is actually a good ref and lets the game flow :agree:

I mentioned that at the game last night when someone behind me was moaning about Oxley not coming for the ball.

[SlickShoes]

Really poor goal to lose but to go straight up the other end and score shows we have something about us that we have lacked for a long time.

We aren't beating anyone 10-0 but in years gone by we would be the team equalising near the end then immediately conceding and lsoing the game.

As long as we keep on winning that's all that matters, I'd like our finishing to be a bit more clinical but sometimes it just doesn't come off.

[Northernhibee]

100% a foul on Scott Robertson who was positioned to clear the ball. Would have been raging if we dropped points because of that.

Djedje has quite a bit of skill and is good in air. Still seems to be adjusting to our game but I remember from last night he played (tried to in some instances) some very clever through balls. He will come very good soon. Very healthy competition with 4-5 players up top that are dangerous and can score. How many games has he started and scored in? Is it not 2 in 2? Or 2 in 3?

I find him very much like Malonga - to a supporter who wants blood and thunder, he'll infuriate - to a supporter who allows a player a little bit of slack because they know he'll pop up and be a game changer in a flash, he'll be a hero.

Like Malonga, he 'conserves energy' (to be kind)........but it's that little burst late in the game, that touch of brilliance, that extra spring that make them both match winners.

A right place right time player. Goals to games/time on the pitch ratio is excellent too.

Keith Watson seems to have gone without much praise - I think he has been a gem of a signing. Solid, reliable and like Fontaine, calm under pressure.

[R'Albin]

I mentioned that at the game last night when someone behind me was moaning about Oxley not coming for the ball.

Wow. How anyone could have expected Oxley to come out for that is beyond me. People's expectations of Goalkeepers in these situations can be absolutely ridiculous.

I think some fans think we have Mr Tickle in goals at times.

He's very like Ben Williams - reliable, not spectacular. The thing about this season is we have an attack minded side and formations set up to keep possession and circulate the ball forward quickly, so he is not tested as much as other keepers we have had previously. Long may that continue :aok:

Unlike other seasons he has also had the luxury of a settled back four/three so the understanding is built up and each player knows their jobs. Looking back at the last 14 games, is it 36 scored only 9 conceded. That is a great record.

I agree regarding Watson. His crossing is superb and with El Alagui coming back can see him getting on the end of them

I think people underestimate how technically good that header was. It was precise with enough power and speed to leave the keeper dead. If that was an EPL striker doing that it would be raved about !!

ps: Another cracking assist Lewis :wink:

[priorparkhibby]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the pass from Craig for the 1st goal, I'm sure he had a similar pass earlier in the game which also put Cummings through on goal. If it had been Scott Allan who made the pass we'd all be raving about it, then again people only take note of Craig's passes when there are backwards to keep possession!

Surely a foul for us at their goal? :confused:

Looks to me like two HIbs guys (Hanlon/Fontaine? at the back) push/stumble into two Livi guys who then knock over 1 Hibs guy (Robertson) at the front of a group of 5: not one HIbs players claims it was a foul - the ref didn't think so anyway ... not really sure what to make of it myself - pretty poor goal to give away at that stage of the game.

[matty_f]

Wow. How anyone could have expected Oxley to come out for that is beyond me. People's expectations of Goalkeepers in these situations can be absolutely ridiculous.

To be fair, my dad mentioned it should have been keeper's ball at the time but from our viewpoint it looked much closer to the 6 yard box than it was. Having seen it on TV, it definitely wasn't Oxley at fault.

I can believe it. I had an Archie McPherson wannabee sitting beside me last night who in between commentating on the game moaned every time Craig kept possession and ignored the passes you mention. Tried to give Fyvie the credit.

He even managed to blame Craig when Robertson gave the ball away.

Too easy in the past for the team to put the head down and accept it.

I slowed it right down & its possible one Livi player bangs into the other who then knocks SR over. Neither PH or LF touched the Livi player but the one who remained standing made a bit of a back for the 2 Hibs players with the resulting miscued header. Robertson claimed for a foul as soon as he was back on his feet, everyone else was watching the ball.

Lewis Stevenson will do that when he hits his first hat trick.

[The_Sauz]

He also missed the incident in the first half when Oxly came out for a high ball and collided with a livi player, which ended with both players on the ground! When Oxly got up to go back on his line, the Livi player (who was still on the ground) stuck out his leg to bring Oxly down again! The Ref who was standing at the corner off the 18 yard box, just looked away when Oxly started to complain.

Craig was passing into a massive space caused by terrible Livvy defending. It was a decent pass but nothing draw dropping IMO. Lewis' control and cross for the winner was a beauty though, he is riding a massive wave of confidence these days.

That's harsh, the pass was into space but if it was misplaced then there was a Livingston defender ready to intercept. Craig got the placement and the weight of the pass perfect which left Cummings through on goal.

Craig is the whipping boy all round still and when it goes wrong it's his fault.

sorry thought craig played average , maybe thats because he is average. the guy is so slow and takes an eternity to get the ball on to his favored foot he is so predictable , but will agree it was a decent pass for first goal but other than that he just doesnt do it for me.

Re the Livi equaliser, it also highlighted how a long throw exponent can be a useful weapon.

Apart from Jonathon Grounds and Richie Towell, I cannot recall when we have had long throw specialists.

Is it something that can be developed at training, or is it a natural physical attribute that the individual has :dunno:
