Hibs 1-1 Inverness (Keatings)

[YehButNoBut]

Beautifully worked goal, Stokes playing really well and good to see Keatings get the goal.

Can't understand why many have been having a go at Stokes recently he is quality.

[GreenLake]

Keatings!!!! Well deserved!!!!:flag:

[Vault Boy]

YAAAAAAS. Great move! :not worth

Brilliant goal. Great work by stokes to set it up.

warren was a sneaky git it was him that fouled McGinn



pmsl@ that dive by the caley player

[Aldo]

Happy to give it out but big Liam stood his ground.

Like to give it out but not happy when the shoes on the other foot.

[GreenLake]

The referee has let about 18 clear fouls on Hibs go and then McGinn slightly clips his man and the ref rips his diaphragm blowing the whistle

[Man Down Under]

Maybe worth getting Boyle on to run at them

Utter crap defending but great finish

[liamh2202]

I dont like this system at all. We have 3 cbs yet its still lewis that is covering a through ball. Time we play 4 DEFENDERS at the back and wingers instead of wing backs.

[The_Exile]

Good effort by Gray to keep it out, is that their first serious shot on goal? Yogi almost knocks out a Caley sub celebrating!!

Yes.

I just never seen them scoring. Typical.

A replay is the last thing Hibs need.

[Scorrie]

We've got to start putting teams away when we have chances. This could haunt us big time

[Matt92]

Yet another week where we are clearly the better team by a country f*****g mile yet somehow aren't in the lead. Real kick in the baws

you still have two subs to use stubbs...use them ffs man

[Off the bar]

C'mon hibs let's ****ing do this

[Onceinawhile]

Need to get a sub on ffs.

[Pretty Boy]

No subs imminent by the looks of the Hibs bench.

[number9dream]

Game has been abysmal... How many times have our full-backs just shelled the ball straight out of play?
One moment of composure from Stokes opens them up for the goal then it all falls to pieces again.
Inverness are even worse!
Second half is so stretched but neither team can keep the ball for more than a few seconds. McGinn & Henderson need to do more in these last 10 mins. Maybe get Boyle on for a run at them...

[YehButNoBut]

attempts on target 5 v 1....why do teams only need one or two chances to score against us

10 to 1 on target according to Bet365

[The_Exile]

If this goes to a replay I'll have serious concerns about the regulars being burnt out come play-off time, if we weren't chasing Falkirk I'd want a few of them rested in the league games coming up but even that's not an option! I think we're a victim of our own success a wee bit this season.

[Pretty Boy]

Has Stokes forgotten he's playing for Hibs? His last 4 or 5 passes have went straigh to ICT players.

[Scorrie]

Got to say Stokes looks gone here. Get him subbed

[Pretty Boy]

Keatings off Dagnall on.

because he's a stubborn b**ger in thinking things will change themselves, caley on top for 20 mins before they scored but he still didn't think of using different personnel or a change of formation...he infuriates me with these senseless subs with a few minutes to go, we should have saw that game out

[SlickShoes]

Apart from the one where he was instrumental in us scoring?

That was great yes but after that he done nothing and should have been subbed.

[Northernhibee]

Fatigue is showing.

Fwiw I really don't like a Stokes on a personal level but he was reasonably good today

[Off the bar]

Had to make a change with 20 minutes or so left we were falling out of it, we didn't respond to the 2 Caley changes at all.
Still gutted to concede with only shot on target that they had.

Really poor stuff.

[Coco Bryce]

Blowing out our arse last 20 mins.

[rotherhamrob]

Could have done without a replay.
Could stubbs not see we had players out on their feet? Needed to bring subs on sooner.
Still, it was better than it has been and the players can now have a bit of a rest before next week.

[Billy McKirdy]

Yes.

Good. hopefully Dylan will be fit too, we're still in this.

[Mon Dieu4]

I can't be too disappointed with that, we have been on a bad run and we were missing a few big players, Dylan going off and playing one of the most cynical teams I've seen as well as getting no help from the ref at all

Just gutted it's yet another game we have to play

[Ronniekirk]

We've got to start putting teams away when we have chances. This could haunt us big time

The game was there to be won but we need to take the positives from this one But let's not kid ourselves they were poor and we really should of won it Towards the end players were tiring so another game is something we could of done without especially as it will be after a cup final on Hampden s wide open spaces

Played well for the majority of the game and this has given me a bit more confidence going in to next week.

[Scorrie]

Blowing out our arse last 20 mins.

I noticed that. Why no subs then to try and keep momentum?

[J-C]

Thought IC were dirty fouling gets and moaned about everything, the ref was awful and should've booked somebody earlier, looked better going 3 at the back, I think it suits us better as Gray and Stevenson have a wee bit more freedom. Didn't understand Keating being subbed as he was playing well, Henderson and McGinn looked knackered after 75 minutes and should've been the ones to come off, we started losing the midfield around then. We were the better team and should've won by more, better performance that's for sure.

[Green&White]

Thomson was 100% at fault for their goal. Completely left the man and sauntered into no man's land doing sweet f all. Played decent otherwise but disappointed with his lack of concentration there

Disappointed not to win a game we were the better team in. Will be difficult up in highlands but we will have Bartley and Cummings back and will live to fight another day

Semi draw will give us indication how important replay is. Draw Celtic and it's difficult to see how we can go all the way, draw United and it's game on.

One thing Yogi does know about is rough-house tactics to break up play. That's how he played (e.g. in the semi final against us for Ayr) and I remember his Falkirk side coming to ER and kicking us off the park.

I remember vividly being disappointed when he was touted as our manger, as the Falkirk game was still fresh in my mind.

We scored and sat back, their stronger more physical players then took over and got a well deserved goal to take it to a replay.

There was only one team wanting to win that game when it was 1-0 to Hibs, once again we fail to take our chances and see the win slip away from us.

Luckily we get another bite at the cherry, but we do really need to start finishing teams off when on top.

Yeh but look how many times macgregor was one on one and had to do well plus lost another crap goal from an over he top ball into the corner. I just dont think our fullbacks are good enough going forward for that system. Much rather with wingers than wingbacks with a more conventional 4 at the back

That was Hibs best chance of progressing. I do not fancy a cold wet evening in Inverness going to EOT.

looking on the positive it gives the team a lift going into next Sunday's game knowing that they are still in the Scottish. Hate to get defeated by a couple of teuchter teams.

A little worryingly, Falkirk could (a big COULD mind) go 8 points ahead before Hibs play another league game. Then again, it only means that they will have to play 2 extra games in the play-offs.

[Phil MaGlass]

3-1 Hibs in replay, no f, n problem.

[truehibernian]

Good performance today - lots of effort and on another day we could have had three. Thought Gunnarson played well today, he's getting fitter and is looking a better each time I see him. Needed fresh legs last 15/20 minutes to get us up the pitch.

Dunno what match you were at but other than last 15 to 20 when we tired I thought we were the better side. Very harsh summary and not how I saw it at match

Just back. Hibs were very unlucky not to win this tie. Had 3 or 4 good chances to ICT's 1 shot on target, but suppose that's what you can expect against a Prem outfit. Cannot fault the players for effort, gave 100% and had to compete against a team of hammer throwers constructed in John Hughes own likeness. Ref did not give Hibs players nearly enough protection, allowing Hughes Hoofers to foul continually. There was only 1 team that wanted to play football an that was Hibs.

Best of show for Hibs were: Keatings, Super JM, Hendo, Fonts and Gray.

The downside is we've now got a tough midweek game in the Highlands, when we could do with concentrating on the League. And Stubbs reluctance to put on subs.

The plus side, is Hibs have definitely stopped the rot and after a nervy first 10 mins, competed well and played some decent football and unlucky not to go through. Huge game next Sunday, and feeling much more positive about our confidence and chances against RC. Bring it on.

Definitely a "half empty" view of this game. Hibs were coming off 3 straight defeats and after a nervous first 10 mins controlled the game. ICT scored with their first shot on target and were fortunate to still be in the cup. IMO just the kind of performance Hibs needed before the Cup Final next week. Here's hoping.

[TheFall]

Team did well today
The good: Stokes did well, McGregor great, Cummings & Bartley back for the replay.
The bad: Dylan breaking down again, Gunnarson not good on the ball, young guys McGinn & Henderson looked exhausted in the last 20 mins. They have worked so hard this season, neither knows how to save energy and Stubbs hasn't saved them from themselves by substituting them often or early enough.
Conclusion: Well done to all today.

Hope the players are allowed to rest in the warmth next week in preparation for 3 big games in a week starting next Sunday.

Apart from the last bit which is the important bit?
BH said we were overrun in midfield which is very harsh imo

Definitely a "half empty" view of this game. Hibs were coming off 3 straight defeats and after a nervous first 10 mins controlled the game. ICT scored with their first shot on target and were fortunate to still be in the cup. IMO just the kind of performance Hibs needed before the Cup Final next week. Here's hoping.

I agree we took lots of positives today, but where i feel we let ourselves down was once again failing to finish another team off.

I thought Stokes and Keating looked like a partnership today, and the back 4 then 3 looked solid for most of the game.

Yet once again we disappear in the middle of the park for the best part of 30 minutes. Clearly our manager see's a completely different game to me, as we looked knackered in midfield and needed more legs.

I cant for the life of me understand why Boyle and maybe even Carmichael were not brought on to give us pace and width, or Farid up front to hold the ball up.

Hughes a manager we all apparently thought was clueless made 2 changes in that 2nd half and it directly contributed to them scoring the equaliser, who'd have thought that eh?

Can't argue with that, wish we brought on a couple of the subs earlier. I'm still glad we don't have Yogi though, but looks like he's learned over the years so fair play.

First paragraph BH is spot on.

We should of had the game out of sight by half time (least a couple up)

Loads of positives and for the whole team but KT and McGinn were outstanding in middle of the park as were Keatings and Stokes, for me showed signs today of his old self with his link up play and positioning.

Cummings will be back as will Big Marv.

We have it in us to win the replay and I hope our chance hasn't been lost.

Carmichael not in team, but yes think Boyle would have been worth a run, also thought the sub Dagnal for Keatings didn't change anything too similar in style, size etc, Farid should have come on.

Was Carmichael not on the bench today? :confused: Maybe find it hard to bring him on then :greengrin

I would've brought on Farid and Boyle for Stokes and Keatings. Midfield was knackered so bypassing them and lumping it up for Farid to win and Boyle to chase could've given them a break and caused a different problem for ICT.

Stevenson was getting outnumbered at times so Boyle would've had the legs to help him out on that side too if you play him on the left.

Ideally we would've been able to bring on a midfielder but that wasn't an option due to injuries and suspensions.

Not sure you need to drag this up from the depths.

His sacking from Hibs was harsh perhaps (another eve-of-AGM special from Petrie), but I remember even you saying at the time that you thought it was time for him to go. The pressure seemed to have got to him and the team was looking directionless.

He deserves a bit of credit for learning how to change things when they are not working, no?

I've not read the whole thread so apologies if I'm repeating stuff.

I thought Hibs were the better team on the day, and more than matched ICT in everything apart from kicking their opponents off the park. The referee was the usual standard. Absolutely awful.

I felt Hibs were unlucky not to have won this tie, and the last thing we need is another very hard fixture. It's time cup replays were done away with.

To me, today's overall performance makes it even harder to understand the last three league results.

Once again though, Hibs failure to take enough of their chances came back to haunt them by conceding a late equaliser. I note both ICT subs were involved in their goal within minutes of coming on. Did Hibs switch off in the lead up to that goal?
