McGinn wasn't having his best day and with Stokes playing deep- Cummings would have been a good sub from 60-70 minutes.

We put ourselves in the position of needing goals. We needed another 1 or 2. Was a good performance overall but we could have made a bit more of it.

And we could have tried doing this all season...

What makes you say we needed a sub? Subs should only be used if a player is injured, tactics are wrong or player is tired. Seemed the 11 were fine tonight and the 4-0 score line shows that.

I think you can only comment on the game in front of you. We needed lots of goals tonight which is why it's being discussed. Goals were there for the taking. No subs at all is unusual. Not using your top scorer when you need goals is also unusual.

We've taken four out of their GD lead whilst resting a player who has played a hell of a lot of football recently. IMO - win win situation on that front.

We seemed to go downhill after beating Hearts, now The Rangers seem to have done similar since beating Celtc, here's hoping that continues until after the final.
I know the league is won and they dont have much to play for but they still want to win these games, losing is an easy habit to get into!

No I don't agree with that. Stubbs got it tight and rightly so last time. This time Hibs scored 4 conceded 0 and folk still moaning about it. Sorry Andy if folk can't be happy with a 4-0 win without nit picking about subs then they will never be happy.

It's not really a comparable scenario is it. We have a target of points and goals just now. That's the reason people are discussing whether we have done enough.

It's more like being three down in the final, getting a goal and not changing anything else.

Well said. Think people like myself who are just back are baffled at no subs, there were more goals in that game, players were knackered towards the end....subs were what we're needed, I'm not moaning at winning four nil, if we had more games like this we would be in this position, we needed goals and players running on empty needed replaced,Stubbs inaction is debatable is it not.

We got goals! How many times have we scored 5 or 6 this season against anyone? To get 4 shows Stubbs get it bang on! It's not hard to praise him or the strikers when it's deserved just like he deserved the flack last time!

Sorry but for me 2 or 3 could be expected tonight as we have struggled to break down 11 men behind the ball, so 4 is great for us. It's that simple!

Dead chuffed we won tonight but I'm in the 'Why no subs?' camp.
Dumbarton were there for the taking, they must have been on the lash after Saturday because they were bowfin' but for the first half hour of the second half we struggled
to put them away. Their goalie had a very good game but a sub or two might have made more of a difference.
I'm a happy clapper but I'm entitled to think we could have wiped out that goal difference tonight.
Still, onwards & upwards & Conrad had another clean sheet; one good save & generally pretty relaxed.

I agree with this thread.

It has taken until the second last game of the season for us to play like we actually wanted to score goals, and it worked, we won 4 0. The problem is we needed 6 or 7. When it was obvious after about 65 minutes that we would be struggling to score another 5 goals, and our top scorer is on the bench, why not bring him on?

Is that supposed to be an endorsement of Stubbs? We needed the goals because of the problems you have rightly mentioned up to now.

When you get in this position you need to do what you need to do to get out of it. Another goal or two would have been good.

McGinn was blowing out his arse for at least the last 20 and to be honest was never in the game and with having had a bad back on Sunday to have played him never mind play him for 90 was stupid.

I would also have given Fontaine game time so if he is needed he isn't coming in cold.

No subs was a wrong decision.

Tonight also showed that this team are capable of scoring goals, which casts a bigger shadow on the tactics up until now IMO.

We were 2-0 up after 12 mins then had lots of the ball but created very little for then next 60 mins and they gifted us our 3rd with a 25 yard OG.

Fresh legs up front against tired part timers might have got us the extra couple of goals we need to claw back the goal difference.

I can see how it's seen as negative, but for me we went in to that game at 0-6 down from the start, and I wanted us to at least draw.

I was annoyed that Boyle didn't pick the ball up after the third to get the game started again, I was annoyed that Stubbs didn't make use of the subs with a knackered team and several key games ahead. I'd have take Mcginn off- he's knackered and I hope is rested on Sunday. I'd also have introduced Cummings with 30+ mins to add something different and remind the team that we needed to win 6/7-0 tonight.

Hopefully Sunday brings an adequate goal swing /falkirk drop points.

Come on when have Hibs done a six or seven in the same league as a team we are playing.

Would like to see the highlights as I was sat directly above it and looked to me like he didn't connect properly as it was going back across the goal mouth and wide of the far post when the keeper stopped it, if he had made a proper connection he would have scored.

Cummings defo with fresh legs against a tired defence, probably take McGinn or Henderson off.

Stokes was dropping deep and trying to make something happen but this generally resulted in no one being in the box as our centre forward was too deep or on the wing.

On the penultimate game of the season where we're 7 goals behind falkirk. That should have been 90 minutes playing as if we were perpetually 1-0 down, because for all intents and purposes we were.

So we won 4-1

Cummings defo with fresh legs against a tired defence, probably take McGinn or Henderson off.

Stokes was dropping deep and trying to make something happen but this generally resulted in no one being in the box as our centre forward was too deep or on the wing.

And yet he scored from about 2 yards out right at the end

Wow.
We won 4-0. Any reasonable person would call that a goods night work and enjoy the victory. Well done to Stubbs and the team.

Did Oxley even come out to claim one corner tonight?

I think that's a bit harsh. I didn't see him make one mistake tonight nor did he let in any goals. As for Gray he was posted missing

Any reasonable person indeed.

I'm afraid that we're just going to have to accept that no matter what Stubbs does there will be someone on the Internet who can do it better.

It seems the norm now that if we we win, then questions can't be asked.
In a game that we needed as many goals as possible, I'm amazed that Stubbs thought a lethargic and burnt out McGinn was a better option than anyone on the bench?

I'm surprised he didn't make any subs. Nowt to do with last nights game but I don't think we'll catch Falkirk so would have used the subs to help players who need a rest get a rest for the run in.

Yup well said, also with lots of games coming up made no sense at all.

If stokes had put his chance away when he hit it right at keeper and stevensons shot had crept in instead of hitting the post it would have been 6 0 and there were other chances
Keating's has t had a lot of game time and Stubbs maybe wanted to give him the full 90 and see if he could get his HatTrick Who knows Cummings looked tired against morton late on so not surprised he was benched
But 15 minute run out against a tired side could of been worth another goal ,but Stubbs must of had his reasons

Good result last night and yip he got the tactics correct, when we went 3-0 up though id have swapped players, we need them as fresh as possible
