Hopefully that team can stop Sean murdoch scoring against us.

Bit of a shake up in the team but I think its needed. Something just hasn't clicked for us the past few weeks so changes, particularly up front as we haven't been scoring, could freshen us up a bit.

Hope Shinnie can show what he's capable of today, after such a promising debut he's been poor.

3 points is a must today, time to get back on track for the league:flag:

Said the same a few weeks back about his team selections and substitutions. We won 5 straight league games and he started mixing up the team selection and slagging off Cummings in-particular, and he hasn't scored, if he's even selected since. Signs 2 big strikers and doesn't play wingers and when he did play wingers didn't play any of the big strikers :confused:

I think something has possibly happened but I wouldn't say Cummings looks overweight? He was just finishing saying he didn't know if Cummings had been been out partying when I switched on before mentioning the weight and extra sessions, so wonder if he's had a couple of nights out he shouldn't have?

Lennon will be sacked by Christmas if this continues. This team is basically 7 defenders and 4 attackers and that is exactly how it plays. Disjounted - defenders sitting pretty deep and unable to pass the ball. Midfield sitting deep barring 1 player and then attackers camping beside the defenders with zero movement and zero meaningful support.

We SHOULD be skooshing the league with this team. No questions. Folk getting sly digs in at folk who agreed we'd Skooshed it are pathetic.

Dodgy pen or not they look like they will walk off the park having given 100%. We haven't broken a sweat yet. We are slow to press and slow to pass. Pass marks for McGregor and possibly Keats for me and the rest very poor. Holt needs to work so much harder as does Shinnie. The wing backs have been forward less as part of a five than they normally are as a four. Grim viewing

Get a grip, it's like fans don't WANT us to Skoosh the league! I've pushed the Skooshed word out there from the start of the season and no one can tell me that they couldn't look at that squad at the start of the season and not be confident of skooshing it, never mind then winning 5 straight. We SHOULD be skooshing the league with this team. No questions. Folk getting sly digs in at folk who agreed we'd Skooshed it are pathetic. Yes it's not working out but there's no need to be crass about it.

I could have looked at our squad and said we wouldn't skoosh the league. It's a weaker squad than the one that failed to land a blow last season.

I still thought we'd win the league but I was prepared for a tough season. Watching what is unfolding I'm not even as confident of us winning the league as I was, in fact I'm not confident at all. This is more than just a blip.

No one is being crass or sly, they are being up front with their disappointment over the performance of this squad, yes a great squad on paper, unfortunately it is not being translated onto the park. However it is early in the season and I am sure Hibs will come away in good time to win this league.

The bit in bold - I can. I wasn't confident of "skooshing it" at all. Even less so now.

Just because you say the word SHOULD doesn't mean it's necessarily going to happen. Maybe when you've been watching Hibs as long as me you'll understand what I'm saying.

It doesn't mean Hibs cannot win it, but it's not looking good right now. Time will tell.

Hopefully they can pull this one out of the fire, but I wouldn't bet on it judging by what I've seen over the last 5/6 games.

Probably because they don't watch them every week and because they don't know that good individual players some of them may be that you couldn't make an attacking goalscoring team out of the lot of them.

I question our squad as a whole and what I'm seeing week to week doesn't change my opinion that we don't have a squad capable of racking up the 75-80 points required to 'skoosh' the league.
