It's hard to see Alloa taking anything today.

I did read Warburton saying yesterday that he was surprised and taken aback by how many artificial surfaces there are in Scotland - Alloa's being one of eleven venues in the SPFL which no longer has a grass pitch. He was clearly not in favour of them.

Artificial pitches have been banned in English football since 1995, and a move to reintroduce them at League 1 and League 2 level was rejected by football league clubs. A move I completely agree with.

I had no idea that artificial pitches had been banned in England since 1995.

Rangers passing and movement around the box could be a problem for us next week. With the crowd behind them they'll be up for it, our defence will need to up their game I think.

No doubt Rangers look good going forward and they have a couple of good attacking full backs but centre of defence does n't look overly assured and the keeper was utter mince at ER.

Exactly, I'm not saying the league is over either but this Rangers team won't drop points like the team of last season. That's why we must win all our home games and hope to win as many away games as possible.

It's the way I want hibs to play, fast, width and with ole th of movement and tempo...yesterday there was almost none of that. How many times did a hibs player on the ball look up to see no movement in front of him, then decided to pass back...we have no tempo to our play which is why teams find it easier to defend against us

We are only going to improve IMO and when everyone is back fit we will have plenty of options and will be much better for it.

Even then they are still likely to win the league over us, lets not kid ourselves but no reason we can't win the playoffs.

1-0 wins give you the same number of points on the board as 5-1 wins. It's obviously nice to win in style but if we win the next 34 league games 1-0 then we'll win the league.

Sorry Trig, but 1-0 leads are nerve wracking experiences which can go either way. Winning decisively is the way to go and until we can build up healthy leads in games we are destined for the playoffs at best.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with that but all I was meaning was that although it's nice to win by four or five goals, you still get the same three points that you get if you've won 1-0.

If I'm being honest, I do think that we'll probably be in the play offs again this season as I don't feel our squad is strong enough, particularly in defence but you never know. There's still a couple of weeks left before the transfer window closes so we could still bring in two or three faces that I feel we will need to compete with Sevco.

I don't expect us to win the rest of our games either, I'm just saying that if we win our last 34 games all 1-0 and Sevco win all of their matches 5-1 (except for the four matches against us) then we'll win the league.

This.

We need to bully teams but we prefer to 'be patient'.

Yesterday was 1-0 but it could just as easy have been 1-1 had we not had an extremely large slice of luck in the 85th minute when we made a Noel Hunt of trying to clear our lines.

This season looks very much like it's shaping up to be a repeat of the last.

The squad not ready for the start of the season (this time due to injury, but also short in competition in defence). Complaints from Fans about Hibs being 'slow and pedestrian'. High percentage of possession and high number of shots at goal yet still struggling to finish of the so-called smaller teams. Some fans saying 'ah, but if we'd taken all our chances the score could have been so different...'

All the while another team just battering other sides into submission and running away with the league.

Correct, however just like last season I sat with my head in my hands as Morton pumped a long free kick into our box on 89 mins. Had visions of the Livi game when we so nearly ****ed it last season as well. It's not good enough against these sides. Hearts never put themselves in that position last season and it doesn't look like Rangers will too often this season. We cannot keep doing this or points will be lost.

That would be nice, i'm pretty sure thats exactly what's going to happen too. :greengrin We need to start putting teams away as early as possible, not winning by the odd goal.

Where is this Rangers battering teams into submission coming from...had St Midden not blew the pen last week they woulda got back to 2 2.. the week before that they were only 1 nil up going into 90 mins against Peterhead. Yes they hammered a weak hibs team in cup but they r nowhere near as brilliant as some on here are making out today...and Alloa were pretty shocking today tbh. Yeah I agree they are much improved on last season but some of the posts on here today have them as the next treble winners

Two of those games were against part time teams and we had half a team missing against them a few weeks ago and despite that, we were still the better side until they equalised just before half time.

They are undoubtedly much improved on last season but they're still beatable and they are prone to the odd defensive blunder.

if we can get a draw in govan next week i'l be a little more positive for the rest of the season, obviously we still have a couple of players to get back from injury and the new guys as well, but stubbsy really has to work out how to play against the teams that come to ER and just sit in, although i actually thought Morton were one of the more adventurous teams that have visited ER lately, they could/should have got a late equalizer yesterday when once again it was like the keystone cops at the back

I made the statement that Rangers have battered teams and was asked what made me say that. My evidence is the actual results they have had, no what 'might have beens' or who they were playing

Part-Timers or not, they are battering teams and we are not.


As for having half a team missing, I'm sorry but that's nonsense. Most of the team that started that game will be first picks this season. It's also pointless being the better team in the first 30 mins if you lose 6-2.

I made the statement that Rangers have battered teams and was asked what made me say that. My evidence is the actual results they have had, no what 'might have beens' or who they were playing

Part-Timers or not, they are battering teams and we are not.


As for having half a team missing, I'm sorry but that's nonsense. Most of the team that started that game will be first picks this season. It's also pointless being the better team in the first 30 mins if you lose 6-2.

Were all injured for the match and Malonga went off injured after about 20 minutes and was replaced by Lewis Allan, who only had 45 minutes of first team experience at Hibs before that match.

I would say that they are all first team players. If you took Wallace, Waghorn, Law, Tavernier and Halliday out of the Sevco side, I doubt they would be that great either.

I do accept your point about being the better side for 30 minutes though.

Two of those games were against part time teams and we had half a team missing against them a few weeks ago and despite that, we were still the better side until they equalised just before half time.

They are undoubtedly much improved on last season but they're still beatable and they are prone to the odd defensive blunder.

Never mind who they were playing they still put them away comfortably which we failed to do last week and weren't too impressive this week either.

Yep I would agree with that and I do expect Sevco to win the league but I think it will be a lot closer than many people think, including some on here who are using words like "romp" to describe the way that Sevco will win the title.

Last week's result and performance was completely unacceptable for any Hibs team and we weren't great yesterday either but I'm confident that we can bring in another two or three that we need by the end of August and we can then compete with Sevco for the rest of the season.

Equally it could have been a comfortable win if we got the penalty and had taken our chances. So I'm not sure what your point is.

My point is that nothing has changed. The script is very easy to write. We cannot get out of this division if we dwell on if's and but's.

Hearts got out of this division by bullying and taking games by the scruff from kick off, every game. Rangers now look as if they are going to do the same and if I remember correctly we did it last time we were relegated.

I don't care that we got 3 points on Saturday. The manner in which we did so was as worrying as getting beat 2-1 by Morton. Yes, there were positives with players returning etc but we have a long way to go and that's the one thing we agreed shouldn't happen this year. We have to change soon or it'll be championship again next year.

If we won every game week in week out one nil playing like that fans would return. It's about winning first performance second with the majority of fans.

It was a million miles from that win against Partick Thistle a couple if years back too.

That night we were absolutely terrible, never in the game and it was a travesty that we won it. We had every right to be worried that night, and so it turned out.

We got the job done on Saturday. I much prefer arguing about how we improve things when we have 3 points tucked away. It wasn't vintage, we're not there yet but we're on the right road.
