Hibs v Livingston match updates

[Diclonius]

Tonight's the night we'll get back on track. 3-0 Hibs - Cummings, El Alagui and Stokes.

Team news?

[SJM]

Queensferry road is goosed chaps.

[Forza Fred]

Time for players and the manager to be bold and wipe away any doubts.

[ShadesLongThrow]

In Aviemore for the week so relying on this thread for updates. Going for 2-0. Stokes and Jason.

[Onceinawhile]

Any sort of win will do, but it'd be good if we can make a statement that we're back in form.

Wonder if logan playing in the development team means we will see otso tonight?

[Frazerbob]

Any links to the Open All Mics wireless coverage? All I'm getting is "Get It On with Bryan Burnett"!

El-Alagui to signal his return to greatness with a hat-trick and Dagnal and Keatings to chip in with one each.

Don't fancy the midfield much

[Alfred E Newman]

Would not be surprised if this is the lowest crowd at ER for a long time. Going by the ample parking at the usual spot it looks like the fans might be voting with their feet. Down to the hard core tonight I think and you can't really blame them.

[Winston Ingram]

No idea how that team is set up. Stubbs will no doubt find a way to fit it into a diamond

Lovely night and everything to play for so hopefully people get along. Also first home game in ages.

No Henderson tonight?

Its a 433. But Bartley and Thomson in a 433 is nut .

[Ozyhibby]

A positive is that Fyvie made the bench.

Good to see Fyvie back on the bench, hopefully he's fit enough and able to get some game time tonight.

Very quiet around Easter Road currently, but that could be due to the murder traffic all around Edinburgh!

According to the radio its Henderson for Thomson.

Can you do it through BBC website?

Every way I try to access it, web sit, iPlayer etc I get "Sorry, this episode is not currently available on BBC iPlayer Radio "

[Onceinawhile]

No Henderson tonight?

I think (though not sure) he's suspended.

He was suspended against raith so would be surprised if he's suspended again.

Just said on radio henderson is playing

Good to see Farid back starting, hopefully he can put a couple away early doors :thumbsup:

[Liam89]

Henderson for Bartley, hibs twitter must have got it wrong.

Very attacking team put out tonight. 3 strikers and 2 attacking midfielders.

Usually go, but child care and workhas scuppered any chance of going, will be there next Tuesday, season ticket isn't a value for money, it's a commitment lol

[lyonhibs]

Christ, I do hope Henderson and McGinn are ready to put in a hell of a shift. Can't see where the penetration is coming from in the wide areas (oooo err matron).

I suspect this might not be pretty....

I've been a critical call all day with work which will go on all night so can't make the game - gutted not being there.

Hopefully we put on a show.

Feels like the build up to a reserve match in the ground. Eerie.

Still trying to get there. Is there a slower bus than the 26

[muzzando]

So now is Bartley injured or just being rested?

16349

Not according to teamsheet

[number9dream]

Stokes at the tip of the dreaded diamond or him and Cummings out wide? Both lefties, which may be a problem for the latter.
Or Plan C, hammer the ball up in the air for Farid and hope something falls our way?

[wookie70]

I would guess less than a thousand in ground currently

[3pm]

Poor crowd.

[GlasgowHibee]

I would guess less than a thousand in ground currently

Filling up now, it's very windy and cold!

[Pretty Boy]

Place is empty.

Few latecomers but still very quiet.

[silverhibee]

Easter holidays so some regulars might be away on holiday

Queensferry Road closed both ways for a few hours earlier won't be helping things either.

[OtleyHibs]

Got a good feeling for this one, hopefully a comfortable win that kickstarts the team and gets us going for what is a massive run in.

Excellent to see Farid starting! 'Mon the Hibs!!

[Heisenberg]

Hibernian FC ‏@HibsOfficial (https://twitter.com/HibsOfficial) 31s32 seconds ago (https://twitter.com/HibsOfficial/status/717424019990044672) 2' Sensational run from McGinn before low angled drive is turned around post by McCallum. #HFCvLFC (https://twitter.com/hashtag/HFCvLFC?src=hash)

Why is Stevenson cutting inside there when he has 40 yards of space to run into and 1 defender in his path?

[SlickShoes]

Gid view of a green pole

[Pretty Boy]

Cross into the box, keeper flaps and deflected into the side netting. Corner Hibs, diving header right at the keeper who juggles it but hold it just.

[bigwheel]

match is on Hibs TV if anyone is overseas......

[Pretty Boy]

Free header missed by 2 Hibs players from about 3 yards out. Offside anyway.

[Pretty Boy]

Livi corner, free header from 7 yards totally missed, Hibs break comes to nothing.

[Pretty Boy]

Thomson ball to Stevenson, deep cross headered miles over.

[GlasgowHibee]

We've started pretty well, but Livingston looking dangerous on the counter.

[California-Hibs]

Not complaining, but how come I am now watching this on Hibs TV insteading of just being able to listen to it?

[Thecat23]

Only one half of the pitch being recorded on periscope!

[HibeeEmma]

https://www.periscope.tv/w/1BdxYbokOWzKX

Where is this guy/girl sitting that they have such a restricted view?!

[Pretty Boy]

0-1.

Utterly ridiculous defending. Sunday league teams would be embarassed by that.

[cabbageandribs1875]

goal Livi

[Hibs90]

Awful awful defending.

[London Hibs FC]

Not complaining, but how come I am now watching this on Hibs TV insteading of just being able to listen to it?

I'm asking the same question Bud.

[Aldo]

Absolutely shocking defending by at least 4 of them.

FFS self destruct!

[GlasgowHibee]

Good finish, but how many chances did we have to clear it? It's becoming s bit of a joke now.

[Liam89]

Very good...

[Pretty Boy]

Honestly from McGreggor totally selling himself early in the move to the striker miscontrolling it twice and no one getting a foot through it to clear that was lidicrous.

[Heisenberg]

Stubbs has no idea how to fix this....

[HibeeEmma]

First attempt on goal :brickwall

We may have problems scoring but losing goals like this is a defence issue

[Thecat23]

No one blaming Ox yet?? Must be a first!

[Diclonius]

That is one of the most poorly defended goals I have ever seen.

[Golden Bear]

Looks like we've made our normal electric start to a game.

[Thecat23]

Stubbs has no idea how to fix this....

Let's wait and see. Plenty time left to see if he can.

[California-Hibs]

What the hell has happened to our team?!?! We went 28 bloody games undefeated!!! It just doesn't add up!

[The Spaceman]

Very concerning. What on earth has happened to us, have teams sussed us out or are we genuinely on an extremely unlucky run?? Come on Hibs, keep the heads up.

[Pretty Boy]

Let's wait and see. Plenty time left to see if he can.

He's already had plenty time. This is a shambles.

[21.05.2016]

Typical of us atm. All the pressure, all the chances then they get one shot and they score from it :brickwall

[Bostonhibby]

That is one of the most poorly defended goals I have ever seen.

Sadly, its what we do, the trick is to outscore teams at this level, over to you Hibs. I do expect us to do it and have just put a bet on.

[hibbydog]

**** off hibs

[Aldo]

We need to find our shooting boots.

Another chance goes a begging

[Pretty Boy]

Cummings shot right at the keeper.

[Thecat23]

He's already had plenty time. This is a shambles.

I'm talking about this 90 mins. Games not over is it?

[Scottie]

No one blaming Ox yet?? Must be a first!
Won't be long Cat


Stubbs has no idea how to fix this....
He's being found out for the second year running he has not a scooby WTF he's doing.

[Hibs90]

He's already had plenty time. This is a shambles.

Agreed, this run is terrible and not acceptable.

[Billychaotic182]

Wonder what the stubb defenders will make of this. Embarrassing! Still time mind you but this run is killing us!

[Coco Bryce]

We'll still win this. Playing some good football guys.

[The Spaceman]

We've gone from arguably one of our best runs ever to one-of our worst runs ever. It just doesn't make sense. Still believe in the boys to get back into this game, although not sure why I believe that at the moment!!

[GordonHFC]

No one blaming Ox yet?? Must be a first!

Yawn

[Pretty Boy]

Half chance for Farid nicked off his toes.

[Thecat23]

Yawn

Yeah it is reading all the ***** about him.

[Aldo]

Yeah it is reading all the ***** about him.

Exactly!

[greenpaper55]

This run is very like the one a certain T Butcher had !.

[GordonHFC]

Yeah it is reading all the ***** about him.

Nobody entitled to an opinion except you then?

[I'm_cabbaged]

This run is very like the one a certain T Butcher had !.

It's worse tbh

[SJM]

No one blaming Ox yet?? Must be a first!

Really the time and place buddy eh?

[Sammy7nil]

No way do I want Stubbs sacked but this run of form in the 2nd tier could get a manager the sack.
If we were not in the Semi I wonder if Rod and Leanne would be having the discussion.

[bigwheel]

Hibs rushing it a bit now...need to relax again and get the ball moving like they did at start of this game...

[Pretty Boy]

Free kick cut back, scuffed shot was tricky for the keeper but saved well.

[Ronniekirk]

Absolutely shocking defending by at least 4 of them.

FFS self destruct!

What the **** has happened to us Took a wee break from painting and popped on here expecting us to be ahead
Nothing less than a win is acceptable for me tonight
When i check later i expect. Us to be doing just that Winning Am getting fed up with every team scoring and we miss all our chances
But plenty time to go Patience required

[Thecat23]

Really the time and place buddy eh?

Sorry I'll wait till full time!!

[Pretty Boy]

Farid down holding his hamstring. And he's off, Keatings on.

[cabbageandribs1875]

keatings on for Farid...injured again

[Diclonius]

El Alagui off. Looks gutted.

[GlasgowHibee]

At least Butcher's run was in the premiership, not against part-time plumbers.

El Alagui injured.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

keatings on for Farid...injured again

Back in two weeks.

[Sergey]

This run is very like the one a certain T Butcher had !.


It's worse tbh

Butchers' run was against SPL teams - we're now in a Pub League.

We've seemingly "Improved" according to some :confused:

[Hibs90]

People can put it anyway they like but this run in this league is just unacceptable. We have zero chance in the playoffs. Zero chance. Stubbs doesn't have a clue how to change it.

[Thecat23]

Wonder if that's the end of Farid now?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Ffs has anyone ever seen el alagui and McGeough in the same room?

[Waxy]

It was that 0-0 against Livi away that started this bad run. Maybe we'll end it by coming back to beat them.

[Pretty Boy]

Hibs break sees McGinn pass the ball a yard behind Stevenson who checks back and we are now passing it across our back 4 with 11 men ahead of us leading to a hooooof to nothing.

No pace.

[Ronniekirk]

No way do I want Stubbs sacked but this run of form in the 2nd tier could get a manager the sack.
If we were not in the Semi I wonder if Rod and Leanne would be having the discussion.

Forget the Semi we need to start winning league games against teams we should be beating

[johnbc70]

No way do I want Stubbs sacked but this run of form in the 2nd tier could get a manager the sack.
If we were not in the Semi I wonder if Rod and Leanne would be having the discussion.

I cannot see Leanne sacking Stubbs this season, I think even if we don't get promoted he will be given the first few months of next season.

[ALF TUPPER]

Farid - hamstring ?

[Callum7]

Farid down holding his hamstring. And he's off, Keatings on.

I did tell everyone to hold him back to till the semi or
he'd get injured.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Ffs has anyone ever seen el alagui and McGeough in the same room?

Apart from the physio obviously.

[The Spaceman]

FFS Farid injured, gutted think he is a superb striker. Need him now more than ever.

[Aldo]

What the **** has happened to us Took a wee break from painting and popped on here expecting us to be ahead Nothing less than a win is acceptable for me tonight When i check later i expect. Us to be doing just that Winning Am getting fed up with every team scoring and we miss all our chances But plenty time to go Patience required

Was watching a bit of it Ronnie and some nice movement and passing but nowhere near good enough in front of goal!

Their goal was just typical of our last half a dozen games. Poor defending with at least 2 chances to clear it then BOOM goal Livi. Mental

[PiemanP]

We need to cut our ties with Farid at the end of the season sadly. Great guy and quality player but he's finished.

Stubbs isn't far behind him at this rate...

[jacomo]

Wonder what the stubb defenders will make of this. Embarrassing! Still time mind you but this run is killing us!

Are the Stubbs defenders and Stokes defenders the same people?

We need to support our manager and our team while there is something left to play for this season, but IMO some bad decisions in January have scuppered us.

[chrisski33]

Has anyone asked what on earth the strikers are doing in training? We shouldnt be losing this game end of

[GlasgowHibee]

Stokes has done nothing out wide left, he isn't a winger, and he knows that. Looks like he can't be ****ed.

[Thecat23]

Stokes has done nothing out wide left, he isn't a winger, and he knows that. Looks like he can't be ****ed.

One of the reasons he didn't like it under Ronnie was it not? He wants to play through the middle as a striker.

[jacomo]

We need to cut our ties with Farid at the end of the season sadly. Great guy and quality player but he's finished.

Stubbs isn't far behind him at this rate...

I imagine that's a given. Great shame for him and us.

[Pretty Boy]

Stokes has done nothing out wide left, he isn't a winger, and he knows that. Looks like he can't be ****ed.

I don't think his effort can be faulted at all. He's showing for the ball a lot and working hard to keep it.

[Aldo]

Stokes needs to be in and around the box, playing on the shoulder of the last man. Play the ball into his feet and let him do the rest.

Play to his strengths FFS.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Back in two weeks.


hopefully back for the play-off games with Raith Rovers :whistle:

[Danderhall Hibs]

Stokes has done nothing out wide left, he isn't a winger, and he knows that. Looks like he can't be ****ed.

Well that's not true. Agree he's not a left winger but you can't say he's not trying/interested.

[Callum7]

hopefully back for the play-off games with Raith Rovers :whistle:

Do you really think Raith will beat Falkirk?

[Golden Bear]

Hibs break sees McGinn pass the ball a yard behind Stevenson who checks back and we are now passing it across our back 4 with 11 men ahead of us leading to a hooooof to nothing.

No pace.

"No pace" could summarise the majority of Hibs performances over the last few years.

[essexhibee]

Just laughable. What has our season become of. Finals and semi finals of cups are pointless when we have/will lose both. And now any hope of getting through these play offs has rapidly gone when we cant even beat the utter dross not even good enough to make the play offs themselves.

Laughable and dire.

[Bostonhibby]

Was watching a bit of it Ronnie and some nice movement and passing but nowhere near good enough in front of goal!

Their goal was just typical of our last half a dozen games. Poor defending with at least 2 chances to clear it then BOOM goal Livi. Mental

:agree: You can just see the away dressing rooms tactical discussions, nae elaborate drawings on white boards, its basically, let Hibs have the ball for as long as they want to knock it about then when we get it run forward quick and shoot.

[GlasgowHibee]

I don't think his effort can be faulted at all. He's showing for the ball a lot and working hard to keep it.

I agree, but his general demeanour is showing that he's frustrated at not getting enough of the ball and having to play out wide.

There was a period of play there where he ran to about the halfway line, and still didn't receive the ball, Louis Stevenson was closer to the goal than him.

[Ronniekirk]

Farid down holding his hamstring. And he's off, Keatings on.

Not really a surprise Farid is injured and as this was always the risk Malonga shouldn't of been allowed to go
Dagnall not scoring at this level Who scouted him as to date its not worked out
Gutted for Farid but at least we now know we cant rely on him for play offs

[jacomo]

One of the reasons he didn't like it under Ronnie was it not? He wants to play through the middle as a striker.

He sometimes played wide under Lennon did he not?

I don't really care what he wants, he's been given an opportunity by us to play again and should do what he's told!

[Glory Lurker]

Plenty time for us to turn it around, but just now i'm feeling ill.

[Lago]

El Alagui off. Looks gutted.
He looks gutted, I'm gutted with rubbish week in and week out, followed Hibs for 40+ years and frankly this is the pits.

[Bobo]

Backward, backward, square, backward, poor pass, punt!!!!

Pretty much the standard of our play, embarrassing to say the least! At home to the 2nd bottom team in the 2nd tier of the worst football association in Europe and only we can be this inept. Really glad that Stubbs has hasn't hung his hat on 2nd place and is quite happy to just be in the play-offs!

No surprise we conceded the first shot on target again and cannae score in a bag of fannies!

We really are pathetic!!

[Pretty Boy]

Penalty claim for handball and not given. Hard to see if it was or not from the FF.

Half time greeted by a lot of booing.

[easty]

I don't think his effort can be faulted at all. He's showing for the ball a lot and working hard to keep it.

Stokes looks lazy is just one of those standard things people post. Rarely true.

[Alfred E Newman]

One shot one goal. No width, no pace no shape no nothing.

[Thecat23]

He sometimes played wide under Lennon did he not?

I don't really care what he wants, he's been given an opportunity by us to play again and should do what he's told!

Can't mind, im not saying he's not trying btw seems he is!

[hibee_girl]

Penalty claim for handball and not given. Hard to see if it was or not from the FF.

Half time greeted by a lot of booing.

It looked a clear penalty from middle of the east

[WeeRussell]

Butchers' run was against SPL teams - we're now in a Pub League.

We've seemingly "Improved" according to some :confused:

You would rather have Butcher and co back. Cool - doesn't surprise me.

[_hucks_]

Penalty claim for handball and not given. Hard to see if it was or not from the FF.

Half time greeted by a lot of booing.

From the Hibs TV pictures looks like it may have hit an arm but not a strong claim for an actual hand ball.

[MileHighBees]

HT 0-1
We look like a completely different team compared to the first half of the season

[hibee_girl]

Wonder if that's the end of Farid now?

It looked more like a hamstring than anything to do with his previous injury

[marinello59]

He sometimes played wide under Lennon did he not?

I don't really care what he wants, he's been given an opportunity by us to play again and should do what he's told!

Stubbs is playing him in the wrong place. What a ****ing waste.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Penalty claim for handball and not given. Hard to see if it was or not from the FF.

Half time greeted by a lot of booing.

Didn't look a penalty from where I am in East. This is chronic. Their goal was from some utterly abysmal defending. Good finish tho.

[greenpaper55]

You would rather have Butcher and co back. Cool - doesn't surprise me.

Don't think he was implying that, just pointing out the obvious.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hibs problem is that if the other team score first they tend to put 10 men in defence and hibs cant break them down

[Beefster]

You would rather have Butcher and co back. Cool - doesn't surprise me.

He didn't say that. I think this run is the worst run of results in the last twenty years at least. Doesn't mean I'd take Duffy, Butcher or Fenlon back though.

[berwickhibee]

One shot one goal. No width, no pace no shape no nothing.

This for the last 3 months:na na: abysmal

[Thecat23]

It looked more like a hamstring than anything to do with his previous injury

Feel for the boy.

[Diclonius]

That first half performance was inexcusable. Our tactics clearly don't work and we don't have the players nor the will to try something else.

At least Rangers won't be here next season.

[trev the hat]

Back to the diamond, Keatings on the right & Hendo at the tip.
All far too predictable Stubbs

[Craig_in_Prague]

Deary Dear. This season really is going titz up.
Another new manager and another significant squad change, no doubt... and further reduced crowds. Bloody depressing.

[Aldo]

Stubbs is playing him in the wrong place. What a ****ing waste.

Agreed.

For me it's through the middle playing on the shoulder of the last man and getting the ball into feet.

He did the very thing against ICT and set up Keatings goals.

Our season is slowly falling apart (although it could do in the next week in a bit) and Stubbs for me has to shoulder some of the blame for our current shambolic position!

[Dalianwanda]

Butchers' run was against SPL teams - we're now in a Pub League.

We've seemingly "Improved" according to some :confused:

And we were beaten by a championship team to go down.....Improvement has been made and now theres a decline..To even mention Butchers name does my tits in..He was without doubt in charge & instigator of one of the worst runs of play in Hibs history..So theres no "seemingly" about it.....IMO

[SkintHibby]

Just as well we had a good first half to the season or we'd be relegation certs!

[HibbyAndy]

Genuine question here, Is this the lowest point ever in our history ? 2nd tier of Scottish football lost 4 in a row and no win in 6 including tonight as it stands.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Second half has to be played on the floor. We try more hoofball in the next 45 it will get us nowhere.

[Tyler Durden]

One shot one goal. No width, no pace no shape no nothing.

Well there is width. Unfortunately our full backs are so far forward half the time they arent in a position to receive the ball.

Although Grays had 2/3 good chances, done nothing with him and has played his now standard part in giving away a sloppy goal.

Should've been Fyvie on for Farid and gone to a diamond

[Lago]

Anyone know tonights attendance?

[Waxy]

Guess we are playing with fear now. More scared of losing rather than going out to express ourselves and win.The feelbad factor.

[Boyle89]

Turgid it the only word I can think of to describe that L. Yet again the other team score with their first chance. This formation isn't working and just hoofing it long into the channels is infuriating. We aren't a bad team but we sure are playing like it.

[cmcd]

Stokes has done nothing out wide left, he isn't a winger, and he knows that. Looks like he can't be ****ed.

Bollocks He is one of only two players who run their heart out THOMSON being the other

[Pretty Boy]

Genuine question here, Is this the lowest point ever in our history ? 2nd tier of Scottish football lost 4 in a row and no win in 6 including tonight as it stands.

It can't be far off.

I don't think it's being dramatic to discuss the possibility. It's grim.

[BroxburnHibee]

45 minutes to save his job. I'm not kidding either.

Forget the cup we won't go up playing like this no chance.

It's gone on too long now.

[SkintHibby]

Anyone know tonights attendance?

6,824 seemingly.

[Sergey]

You would rather have Butcher and co back. Cool - doesn't surprise me.

That's not what I said...and you know that.

Nice troll attempt.


Don't think he was implying that, just pointing out the obvious.

:agree:

Best to put WeeRussell in your 'ignore' folder to save bandwidth. I wouldn't have seen his post unless you replied.

[essexhibee]

There is no way the squad we have should be anything other than convincingly beating Livingston.

What is the manager doing?! Staggering how bad we are.

Three years in the championship. Should the manager be staying?

[Aldo]

Should be 3 5 2 and not this diamond formation. It's clear we don't have the personnel to play that formation.

We played every so well playing 3 5 2 against ICT at ER.

If we don't get promoted this season I am not sure where we go from here!

[ALF TUPPER]

Ronnie ! Watching paint dry might be the preferred option tonight. Good call :aok:

[cabbageandribs1875]

stevenson picks up yet another yellow

[berwickhibee]

Absolutely Andy.

If we finish this game with anything less than 3 points then Stubbs has to go. It's gone too far already and we can't afford for it to go any further.

[Ozyhibby]

I almost know all their names.[emoji23]

It's not a diamond tonight

[trev the hat]

It's not a diamond tonight

It is now

[Lago]

6,824 seemingly.
It would make you cry, but that will be about the norm next season if we stay in this league.

[squire]

How hard is it to mix it up and play a 3-5-2?

[Aldo]

There is no way the squad we have should be anything other than convincingly beating Livingston. What is the manager doing?! Staggering how bad we are. Three years in the championship. Should the manager be staying?

I don't think he does know what he is going and seems to want to play a certain way regardless.

We can all see where it's going wrong Stubs just seems oblivious, maybe even stubborn, trying to force something to work that looks like it never will.

I think the word I'm looking for tonight is capitulation!

[Tyler Durden]

It is now

No, Keatings went wide right.

4-2-3-1.

[McIntosh]

There have clearly been a few wrong decisions by The Manager but the lost of form is so comprehensive as to be unbelievable.

[cabbageandribs1875]

It would make you cry, but that will be about the norm next season if we stay in this league.


aye, for the big derby games with dunfy

[HibbyAndy]

Absolutely Andy.

If we finish this game with anything less than 3 points then Stubbs has to go. It's gone too far already and we can't afford for it to go any further.



100% agree with you. Stubbs has got to go.

[ALF TUPPER]

FFS Hibs. I nearly spilled my bedpan all over my duvet then!
Cough-cough , sniff 😷

[Pretty Boy]

Stokes volley cleared off the line with Cimmings almost there to knock it in.

[Onceinawhile]

Genuine question here, Is this the lowest point ever in our history ? 2nd tier of Scottish football lost 4 in a row and no win in 6 including tonight as it stands.

We've currently lost 0 in a row.

[Fritz]

Not even close. Silly post. Final of one national cup, semi of another. Still playing for promotion. Not downplaying how poor we've been recently, but let's have some perspective eh.

[ALF TUPPER]

Mon Hibs !! Another miss

[Craig_in_Prague]

Absolutely Andy.

If we finish this game with anything less than 3 points then Stubbs has to go. It's gone too far already and we can't afford for it to go any further.

Sadly, and as much as I like him (after all he got my Hibs bug back again after about 4 or 5 years), I have to agree.
Also, WTF do his assistants do? Can noone change this?

[HibbyAndy]

We've currently lost 0 in a row.

Many we won in a row ?

[Onceinawhile]

Many we won in a row ?

0. But that doesn't mean we've lost 4 in a row.

I'm not denying we're mince at the moment,but you can't just make stuff up to suit.

[Glory Lurker]

Stokes volley cleared off the line with Cimmings almost there to knock it in.

Argh! I missed the word "almost"! Still time...

[Pretty Boy]

Free kick Hibs 25 yards out.

[Beefster]

0. But that doesn't mean we've lost 4 in a row.

I'm not denying we're mince at the moment,but you can't just make stuff up to suit.

He didn't say we were on a run of 4 losses. He stated that we had lost 4 in a row in the Championship. It's a fact.

[McIntosh]

I can only hope that Stubbs gave them a rocket at half-time

[Pretty Boy]

Easy save keeper, punched away for the cameras.

[Heisenberg]

0. But that doesn't mean we've lost 4 in a row.

I'm not denying we're mince at the moment,but you can't just make stuff up to suit.

What cant be denied is that we're on route to being 1 win in 8 league games in the scottish championship. Stubbs has to turn it around in the second half or he has no way back....

[cabbageandribs1875]

bigots 1 up

[HibbyAndy]

Well the reason i asked , As in all my life time ( bar 1 season) we have been in the top flight so to lose 4 games in a row in the 2nd tier of scottish football i thought i'd ask as there can't be many more depressing times ? Yep the 2nd tier off scottish football.

[Onceinawhile]

He didn't say we were on a run of 4 losses. He stated that we had lost 4 in a row in the Championship. It's a fact.

What was the score in our last game, in the championship?

[cabbageandribs1875]

4 corners for hibs in the first few minutes

[Thecat23]

All Hibs.

[One Day Soon]

If we don't win this the semi is going to be a mixture of like a morgue and very ugly.

In any event if we don't win this I think something dramatic has to now happen otherwise Stubbs is done.

[Forza Fred]

Should be 3 5 2 and not this diamond formation. It's clear we don't have the personnel to play that formation.

We played every so well playing 3 5 2 against ICT at ER.

If we don't get promoted this season I am not sure where we go from here!

Indeed, it's utter turd.

I'd probably give him a wee bit more time though.

We're in the play offs regardless so we should see if he can arrest the poor run.

[Aldo]

I really don't know where we go from here if we don't pick up 3 points.

The Huns are up and title will be in the bag this evening should we fail to win.

It's been really easy for them TBH in fact they have strolled it!

I honestly think Stubbs position is becoming untenable!!

[HibbyAndy]

0. But that doesn't mean we've lost 4 in a row.

I'm not denying we're mince at the moment,but you can't just make stuff up to suit.

Who is making stuff up ?? :confused:


We are on a ****in horrendous run and Did lose 4 games in a row to morton dumbarton QOTS and Raith.. Scraped a draw with st.mirren and losing to Livingston...

[CallumHibs07]

What was the score in our last game, in the championship?

Nobody's saying we've lost our last 4 games you idiot. We HAD lost 4 in a row. Jesus.

[Beefster]

What was the score in our last game, in the championship?

FFS, it's like brain fart central on here sometimes. As you're struggling to understand the point the poster was making, let me put it another way...

At some point recently, we lost four consecutive league games. In the Championship.

[Bostonhibby]

4 corners for hibs in the first few minutes

Disaster, there will be one shot for the opposition along in a minute.

[Pretty Boy]

Livingston very happy to let McGreggor have the ball as he invariably gives it away. His 'passing' has been brutal.

[Aldo]

nowhere

I know this though FF we are going to need inspiration from somewhere and a couple of leaders on the park!

[Scottie]

45 minutes to save his job. I'm not kidding either.

Forget the cup we won't go up playing like this no chance.

It's gone on too long now.
:agree: As much as i like the fella he's being found out big time again like he was last season.

[SDavey1992]

For some reason Oxley has still got people backing him and i'm struggling to see why. I'm not saying he was at fault for the game tonight, but it can't help a defence that knowing if they do make a mistake their keeper wont bail them out.

For those who like stats rather than opinion; from the start of out bad run (Morton) onwards up until half time today we have had 25 shots on target against us. 16 of those have been goals. I also can't think of many 'worldies' in that time either.

The livi Keeper has literally made more saves so far tonight than Oxley has in his last 4 games..

[steviehibsleith]

We have been poor for weeks and what team changes do we see El Alagui and KT ! Too many players for me under Stubbs are guaranteed starts.

Deary me

[WeeRussell]

Don't think he was implying that, just pointing out the obvious.

I know what he was doing, as he persists in doing it every time he posts on this forum.

I don't think it's pointing out the obvious to say that we are not an improved team since Butcher departed, hence my short response.

On the contrary - I think it is ridiculous to suggest our team HASN'T improved since that dark period in time, regardless of how frustrating a run this is.

[Mikey_1875]

Stubbs has at least earned the right to see this through till the end of the season. Although this recent run is woeful we have seen what can happen when things do click and we just need to hope it turns around in time for the playoffs and cup. If there is another sorry season in the championship when the season is done then it may be time to go but I fear for what kind of replacements are even out there if he does go.

There's 10 (11 if you count the sub) more culapable than Oxley tonight.

[Mango Man]

Probably, wee seem to hit new lows every season, there's not many teams like us.

It's weird, because I've not been this happy with a Hibs squad for years!! Doesn't matter the team, the manager, the chairmen, we always fail when it matters, so strange, just can't put my finger on it.

It was all about the league cup final for me this season, I wouldn't have minded staying in this division so much if we got a trophy, but nooooooooooooo.

[jacomo]

What cant be denied is that we're on route to being 1 win in 8 league games in the scottish championship. Stubbs has to turn it around in the second half or he has no way back....

What's the grand plan?

Why bring this up. Mistake??? no one was saving that goal. The defence should of cleared it simple as that and as for bailing them out, as I've mentioned no one was saving it.

Why has this turned into an Oxley bashing?? Your clearly up for a bit of fishing I would suspect with this post!

Sorry admins but no need for above post re Oxley.

[SDavey1992]

So it's not Oxley's fault but you find time to post that he's just ***** anyway? I ****ing give up! This place is honking.


It's completely relevant to our current situation as it is yet another game with one shot, one goal. With a competent keeper we would concede fewer goals.

[easty]

A few weeks ago I'd have said the same, but we can't go into the playoffs on this kind of run, if it's not going to improve quickly then I couldn't care less what he has earned, he'll have to get punted.

[Liam89]

There's no denying that mcgeouch is absolutely vital for us and we've struggled for form whenever he's not in the team.

[Pretty Boy]

Lucky there. ***** corner and we left ourselves 2 on 2 at the back.

But why is it Oxleys fault tonight??

Your about 4 days late and in the wrong thread for this.

FFS the defence ****ed up and the guy hit a cracker into the top corner!

Get a grip
