There's a lot to like in that team.

Delighted to see Boyle makes it.

I still think we're a better team when Holt plays.

I wouldn't be unhappy if we drew.

Looks like Duffy went out to greet Lennon as the teams arrived:

Pretty uneventful. Boyle into decent positions a few times but poor final delivery.

[Carheenlea]

If last weeks was a penalty, so was that. Clear handball.

[Smartie]

Graham has started well.

Some very poor decision making and final balls from Boyle.

We're playing ok, the better team so far, but it's a tight game with little time on the ball.

The playing surface looks brilliant and the conditions are perfect for football.

We just had a penalty shout that was a bit more "seen them given" than stonewaller.

[SanFranHibs]

Shocking crosses, shocking corners.

But a decent periscope though :greengrin

[Smartie]

Remember Gordon Hunter's sneaky little run to the back post for "that goal" at Tynecastle?

There's about 30 goals a season there for the taking for anyone in our side who masters the back post run.

[wookie70]

Periscope thread is great. The whole first half was there when he stopped at half time and you can rewind back to the goal. Very well taken goal and nice to see JC back in the goals. Nice to also see Graham in the perfect spot if the keeper saves it. Morton were hardly in our half with possession but it is a really pedestrian game. Looks more like a training game than an end of season title decider to me. Suits us though as we could wrap the league up before the semi and players can go for it at Hampden knowing they have a long time to recover.

[Lago]

Dont care, just win it Hibs.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Watching on periscope and my bloody wi fi signal dropped off just before the goal :confused: Doesn't look a great game, but the pitch looks pretty fiery with the ball appearing to bobble a lot ..... Hibs look pretty sound at the back though ( touch wood ) lets hope we can keep things tight for the 2nd half, I doubt Duffy will be too happy with Morton's effort so far, expect a tougher game in the 2nd half.

[lyonhibs]

It probably is the right thing to do. Just makes Duffy look a bit of a *****r.

Why try and make that challenge and giveaway a stone-waller instead of forcing him to finish it. We have a great keeper I'd have backed him to save that.

Very poor 2nd half from us so far, compounded by a stupid tackle from McGregor. We'll need to get our act together sharpish.

I shouldn't comment as I wasn't there but by all accounts it seems to have been a dire performance with a very acceptable result.

[wookie70]

Lennon walks past Morton player who was offering a handshake on way to moan at ref. Poor form, getting a bit fed up of it being everyone else's fault apart from Lennon. We set up to play tight and don't really play with any risk so don't get all upset when it is yet another draw. Its a decent result given the circumstances but another poor and uninspiring performance. We can't win the league next week on our own terms so will go into the semi still maybe needing to get something from the games that follow. That is a real pity as it would have been nice to send the players off to Hampden with a win at ER and a job done in the league feeling.

[Mon Dieu4]

We've done really well considering we only have one player that can regularly score and have no creative midfielder, we are absolutely atrocious to watch, sideways, sideways, back, sideways, no imagination at all, on the plus side only 4 games left in this league to go

[KeithTheHibby]

Some people need to get over themselves, we are well clear at the top of the league with only a couple of games to go. Not to forget we are still in the cup. Yes it's not silky football but that never done us many favours last couple of years.

Morton looked fitter, sharper and pressed really well. A point will do away to our one of our main threats.

It's as you were and we're edging closer.

I dont understand why we would play Bartley after his performance in the last Morton game. They have a fast midfield, lots of short passing etc. He is miles off a game like that. We are playing to stop teams rather then worrying about them stopping us.... its mental.

[penihibs]

I shouldn't comment as I wasn't there but by all accounts it seems to have been a dire performance with a very acceptable result.

I was at game it was grim.
Some fans give Cummings it tight, god knows we're we be without his goals.

[Pretty Boy]

We are in a competitive league but we have won the big games.

To be honest if you said to me we'd beat Falkirk and avoid defeat to Morton x2 two weeks ago I would have bitten your hand off!

It's a competitive league because we are allowing it to be competitive.

We should be blowing ***** like Dumbarton, Raith, Dunfermilne and Ayr away not drawing with them.

Totally agree. A point today isn't a disaster but we are limping over the line. I'm not confident this team will take care of queen of the south next week. (Although can't see us getting beat) In my opinion failure to get the commons deal done (for whatever reason) is the main reason for us stuttering over the line. He was the extra bit of quality we needed.

Hope the lads prove me wrong and pump QOS next week.

We can win it but relying on others dropping points. Realised that and edited before seeing your response

[Jag7]

Some people need to get over themselves, we are well clear at the top of the league with only a couple of games to go. Not to forget we are still in the cup. Yes it's not silky football but that never done us many favours last couple of years.

There's not a fan on here that wouldn't have taken the position we are in now at the start of the season.


Sorry but if any of the other 3 teams had played slightly better we would not be top of the league, we are pathetic in this league and should be romping away with it but we cannot score enough goals to do that !!
If and when we get promoted there will have to be major player changes.

[Pretty Boy]

Yup. We've been in th Championship for three seasons and are practically guaranteed to go up this time but folk still aren't happy.

People keep mistaking having serious misgivings about performances as not being happy we will be promoted.

I don't think a single person is unhappy we are going to win the league but does that mean the glaringly obvious issues we have shouldn't be discussed?

[Frogga]

I didn't think we were that bad. I've seen us much worse this season anyway. First half we were dominant, second it was pretty equal. Defensively it took another silly pen otherwise I didn't see them scoring. Very similar game to Dunfermline last week. Graham and Holt are not good enough - both are poor versions of what Colin Nish was (and he wasn't even that good!). Cummings needs to stop going in the huff when things aren't going his way. Our crossing needs a lot of work!

[O'Rourke3]

Morton draw or lose next week to St Mirren and we need 3 points..... We can win this next week.

[Pete]

I agree and I'd play Fyvie but Lennon doesn't seem to like him.

As for Lennon going on the pitch it looks like he was correctly raging at some decisions. One of their boys went studs up on Gray? without punishment but we were penalised seconds later.

Edit: I think that's what happened.

[CMurdoch]

Lennon walks past Morton player who was offering a handshake on way to moan at ref. Poor form, getting a bit fed up of it being everyone else's fault apart from Lennon. We set up to play tight and don't really play with any risk so don't get all upset when it is yet another draw. Its a decent result given the circumstances but another poor and uninspiring performance. We can't win the league next week on our own terms so will go into the semi still maybe needing to get something from the games that follow. That is a real pity as it would have been nice to send the players off to Hampden with a win at ER and a job done in the league feeling.

Lennon walking past the Morton player offering a handshake is ignorant.
Made his was all the way to the Centre circle to moan at the referee.
Embarrassing. Let it go man!

[Bishop Hibee]

Plus point is one game nearer going up, negative is yet another draw in this dire league. If Lennon had found a decent striker in the summer or transfer window to play alongside Cummings we'd have been up weeks ago.

Almost there but where are the goals to give us a win going to come from?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Realised that and edited before seeing your response

:aok: could've all but put it to bed today but now need to win against QOTS who seem to be picking up a bit of form again.

[IWasThere2016]

I sincerely hope Lennon leaves in the summer.

It's one thing to discuss the shortcomings or what players aren't good enough after promotion (and there are many). It's quite another to start throwing about stuff like "we're pish" or "we've been murder all season" (none of which is directed at you - I've no idea whether you've said anything like that or not!).

Totally agree, Holt was not the answer !!

[Stevie Reid]

I sincerely hope Lennon leaves in the summer.

I'm very much looking forward to him managing us in the SPL, provided we finish the job.

[Bishop Hibee]

I sincerely hope Lennon leaves in the summer.

You won't get your wish and neither should you. Madness to sack him. He deserves a chance to get rid of players and bring better ones in.

[supermcginn]

I sincerely hope Lennon leaves in the summer.

Fenlon esque football in an even worse league, brutal viewing

[Kato]

I reckon the squad are stale and frankly bored being in this league, has reeked of it since the end of January really. There's also the margins like the type of pen given against us last week but not today. Reverse the decisions and we have 6 points rather than two, although hibs have never been on the right did of those sort of things.

He could always try something different, maybe try pressing the opposition like we done against Hearts and DUtd in the 3-0 game. That way the strikers might see something other than a lump up field.

[supermcginn]

I wish Lennon would pick our best players. Boyle, Graham and Bartley not good enough.

Bartley has been immense in 3 derbies, not his fault we have no attacking threat what so ever!

[Kato]

I'm very much looking forward to him managing us in the SPL, provided we finish the job.

Same here.

[hibeg]

Morton draw or lose next week to St Mirren and we need 3 points..... We can win this next week.

But if Falkirk also win next week then we will be 9 points Clear with 9 to play for. Goal difference is better but we wouldn't mathematically win next week. I think that's right ?

[Ryan91]

Genuinely think we will be better next season under Lennon, contrary to popular opinion on this board

[BoomtownHibees]

Morton draw or lose next week to St Mirren and we need 3 points..... We can win this next week.

Mathematically we can't. Falkirk can still get to 64 points which is what we would be on with a win next week.

The 10 goals of a difference certainly means it would be all but done

[cabbageandribs1875]

mon the paisley buddies, help us win this damn thing by beating Morton on tuesday :)

[Onion]

Happy with a point, but Squad needs overhauled in the summer, one team to get us out of this ****ty league, another to keep us out. Too many Championship players in our squad, Prem is a bigger step up than we think . No room for sentiment.

[CMurdoch]

Well done Hibs.
Performance not the best but the result was real fine.
Another game is past and the others are no nearer.
Don't tell the players but title is won.
:flag::flag::flag:

[Vault Boy]

I think it's entirely within reason to be critical of recent performances and results whilst remaining content with winning the title. Telling fans they can't be unhappy with 2 wins in the last 10 games is absolutely ludicrous, it's a pathetic showing from a team that can and should do better. One game closer though.

[guthrie01]

I sincerely hope Lennon leaves in the summer.

Have to agree, would much rather Alex Neil or even Stubbsy back to give us better football and bring in higher quality players
