Dundee FC v Hibernian FC k/o 12:30

[supermcginn]

Big Dave should have got the last 20 minutes, bringing murray on was a strange sub.

[Joe6-2]

we know the script :greengrin only surprise is we didn't concede a goal to a player that hasn't scored for a few years :)

Yeah, that's another one!

[Borderhibbie76]

Missed opportunity there, Dundee are decidedly average and only their keeper worth talking about.

Impressed with Slivka, Barker and Bartley but McGinn looks a different player we saw in the 1st few games, too many bad passes and seems to be trying to do too much himself, needs more composure, that could be said about a few players today, composure.Agree Mcginn was poor again today as he was last week...get him off the corners too...dreadful delivery time and again today. SJM is a great player but he's not what the press make him out to be just yet...his end product was awful today

15 freakin corners

[Joe6-2]

Fraser Murray got at least two, maybe three shots away. I don't think we became any less attacking with the substitution.

Yes, but surely was crying out for big Dave?

[High-On-Hibs]

I would say that wasteful corners cost us more than anything today. Needs to be seriously worked on.

[easty]

Fraser Murray got at least two, maybe three shots away. I don't think we became any less attacking with the substitution.

I don't think Fraser Murray did badly, but we had no striker. Stokes out left.

There was a ball drilled across the box from Slivka, naebody there. Simon Murray would have been in that general area.

[OsloHibs]

Should have won that.

[SteveHFC]

Simon Murray looks to have gone "off the boil" a bit in the last couple of games, and Hibs then rely too much on Anthony Stokes for goals.

Hibs need to reinforce the striker department IMO, but decent goalscorers don't come cheap...

We have a decent striker on the bench in Big Davy, was bizarre he wasn't brought on today.

to be fair he didnt really get much service, midfield were pretty poor i thought today, in saying that he should have scored

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Poor result and so wasteful with all that possession!

[matty_f]

There aren't any was easy games at this level, we are very unfortunate not to go home with the three points. It was one way traffic, we created plenty and should have had at least one penalty.

I thought overall our play was very good, Bartley makes a huge difference to our side. Just seen the stats, it really was one sided.

[cabbageandribs1875]

attempts


5 v 21

[Pete]

I actually thought some of our corners were well worked and intelligent. Maybe a bit more practice needed.

It's better than lumping it into the box where it'll be inevitably cleared or the ref will blow for a "foul"

[Thecat23]

It's not a poor result. Keeper was MOTM and any point away from home is a good one.

Bain saved Dundee simple as that. Thought Hibs were good today.

[Stuart93]

15 corners all wasted. 21 shots 1 goal, 1 point, these are the telling facts from the game

Too many of our corners were on top of their goalkeeper. You just can't do that in the game anymore.

I agree.

Dundee looked not to bad at times in possession and I think other teams will drop points at Dens.

Poor performance overall by Hibs today - Dundee will be happy with the point - better teams will punish us badly if we don't pick up our energy/concentration levels, some shocking decision making today coupled with poor finishing - doubt we will make top six playing like this ... should have had a penalty first half - thought the officials were poor today, Lennon's substitution Murray for Murray was not the best idea he's had ...

[Joe6-2]

McCann, there was contact, liar, Boyd, you got the luck you needed! wtf!

[SteveHFC]

Should have won that but 7 points from the first 4 games of the season I'll take that.

Did you actually watch the game serious question. Dominated from when we lost the goal. Dundee never in it. Tempo was high we passed well and Scott Bain getting MOTM says it all.

I seriously wonder if folk post on here after just seeing the score. Attempts on goal 5-21 far from struggled.

We should easily avoid relegation on that performance and the ship is steadied after last week's defeat. But we won't be making many headlines this season.

That's all fine and well but we've still only picked up a point from a game that we should've won, something you have to be doing when you're back in the big league

[Steve20]

Dominated the game.

Finishing brutal. Powder puff at best.

We may as well not get corners anymore, unless Henderson comes back.

1-1 is a crap result against a Dundee team who were god awful.

[SirDavidsNapper]

I think most people would have taken 7 points from our first 4 games back in the top league. We looked good for long spells today and should have won fairly convincingly. Credit to the Dundee keeper. International break now and a bit of time to take stock. We're doing not too bad.

I can't agree we were poor. Thought we were the clearly the better side and deserved to win, but I'm not too unhappy with a point. After last week it was very important not to lose again, but also to show a bit of dig and belief. I thought we showed both and when this side has a few more games under its belt I think we'll really start to gel.

[Thecat23]

[High-On-Hibs]

It can be helped. The finishing needs to be better. Yes their goalkeeper put in a great performance today. But we had some golden opportunities which were much easier for him to save than they should have been. We also should have made more from the sheer number of corners we had. 15 corners and I don't recall us creating a proper opportunity from any of them. So there are things that can be helped.

We don't need to be Celtic to improve on these things either.

[emerald green]

It's a very good start from Hibs. Coming up after 3 years out the top flight as well. Hamilton knocked us but any point away from home is a good one.

I agree that any point away from home in this league is a good one, but speaking for myself I just get frustrated that it wasn't all three points given Hibs domination of possession during most of the 90+ minutes.

I'll bet that's exactly how NL feels too.

[Elephant Stone]

Did you think Simon Murray played well?

Not exceptionally well but he impressed me again with his technical ability, that shot he had with his back to goal in the first half in particular. He manages to spin round and get shots away before defenders know what's going on.

Scott Allan looked hungry as hell as well. He will be, and already has been, a brilliant signing for them.

But as an overall performance, Hibs were good today and at least tried to win the game.

[Velma Dinkley]

Sounds like their keeper had a great game and one of their players dived in the box at least three times and was given a penalty for one of those. Onwards and upwards.

I think we're all frustrated but thats a good thing in a way. It shows that the overall performance was strong and there's plenty of optimism for the coming season. Sure, there are areas we can improve on but it's still early.

It's miles away from certain other teams who go to places like Motherwelll and surrender meekly.

[B.H.F.C]

Two points dropped against a dire team. Deserved the win but lacked composure in the final third.

[MacGruber]

It was decent performance and controlled most of the game had most chances.

Some negatives in finishing, quick free kicks when it's not on, short corners losing cheap possession, Whittaker looks vulnerable when isolated on the left & Dylan being our last sub. Love Dylan but it needed to be an offensive player on given we lost Barker and S Murray.
Also injuries to Barker and MacGregor(?)

Loads of plusses too tho. Away point, solid in the middle. Barker looks very useful

[Keith_M]

One point from six against Dundee and Hamilton is very poor. Had enough chances to take three points today. We have to do better than we have done in our last two games.


:agree:


Should we really be happy with a point away from home against a team rooted to the bottom of the table on zero points?

If so, that's a sign we're going to be some mid-table non-entity. I want Lennon to be raging and the players to admit they have to do better if they're going to achieve anything this season.

[A Hi-Bee]

15 corners all wasted. 21 shots 1 goal, 1 point, these are the telling facts from the game

The game at this level is all about small margins, just how many effin times do we give possession away from throw ins, with Davy Gray the worst offender, as Captain he should be demanding movement as soon as he takes a shy. Hibs have been terrible with this for years mabe's they need to work on them along with piss poor corners.:flag:

Hibs were not poor. The overall team performance was good except in one vital aspect - putting the ball in the back of the net often enough.

Hibs also need to stop giving teams a goal of a start, and conceding needless penalties (albeit there was a dive following a poor challenge in a dangerous area). The players need to be fully switched on and concentrate for 90 minutes.

Thought Allan was very poor today. For all the hype of him being a good signing for Dundee he's not done much so far.

[stantonsboots]

At the end of the day we should have won 1-0 (possibly 2-0)if the referee had done his job correctly!

[truehibernian]

Frustrating we didn't put that game to bed with 3 points but a very dominant away performance and I enjoyed watching Hibs today. Bit annoying it takes Anthony until a goal before he wakes up, but came onto a game especially second half. Slivka was simply superb today, what a lovely player to watch - languid in style but never flustered and rarely wasteful in possession. Thought SDG had a great game, Bartley solid, and Whittaker did really well to get over his moment of madness and show composure throughout the rest of the game. Really impressed we were always on the front foot and looking to attack.

Have to be more clinical in front of goal at this level. And to have 15 or so corners which are effectively set pieces, it's a worry we don't capitalise more with the height and physical players we have.

Great feeling (strangely) to come away from an away game really disappointed for the lads - knowing we should have won after the effort they put in.

We looked good against a poor Dundee side and if only we took our good chances we could have won comfortably.

We dodged a bullet from Stokes again getting himself in a stupid tangle with the keeper, got booked but if not would have certainly ended up on the compliance officers table on Monday morning, he needs to get a grip before it starts to cost us!!!

Having seen all the penalty incidents, I would say, if you are on the receiving end of any of them you would think you'd been cheated by the referee.

The worst part is they got theirs, and we got nothing?????

At this stage it's acceptable enough to say a point is alright. The league's still new, we've still got players bedding in, to dominate games, not lose and show a massive improvement on last week isn't the end of the world.

Once we're up to speed, then you'd probably look at that and say most teams in the league would have beaten Dundee today. We don't have to be hugely critical everytime we should probably do better.

Just back. I rarely stay to applaud the players at the end of a draw but they deserved it today.

We totally controlled that game for almost 90 minutes, created plenty of chances and the players showed a massive reaction to last week.

If you're being critical then of course we were wasteful in front of goal but we played so well today and if that level of performance keeps up throughout the season we won't be far away from a top 3 or 4 finish.

[truehibernian]

Did not bad 'offensively' though ? Did the Dundee winger (or El Bakhtaoui) get past him thereafter ?

Full backs did well today when you look at the full 90 minutes - do you ever recall Hibs getting as many corners in an away game ? Comes from full backs pushing up and creating, assisting, and linking play. I'd cut Whittaker some slack and appreciate how well he did recovering from a lapse.

[greenlex]

I'm still struggling to understand him bringing on another midfielder for a striker, surely had to bring on dave

Here's the thinking. We were creating plenty with the ball on the deck. Simon Murray had run his race. The only striker left was Dave. He's not blessed with pace and pumping balls up to him in my opinion would have just resulted in the inevitable two Dundee giant centre backs just lapping it up. I actually called that sub five minutes before. It may have been the wrong call but am certainly not mystified by it.

[221000]

2 points dropped today, yip. Finishing could and should have been better, aye. Dundee were poor, yes. Their keeper was MOTM.

I dare say there will be other games or sequences of games throughout the season where we are 2nd best, our keeper has a blinder, the oppo's team miss a few good chances and we potentially walk away with some points we maybe didn't deserve. That's what happens over a whole season.

I'd be more worried if we put in another *****e performance as a team like we did v Hamilton last week. We didn't. We played well in parts, dominated possession and chances and were clearly the better team. Their pend was dodgy and we could have had 2. It's disappointing to only take a point yes, but let's get things in perspective!!

Gutted we didn't win, so one sided, and should have buried them. Timewasting in 46 mins, happily settling for a draw. Goalie got MOTM award, tells a tale

[Thecat23]

So what was missing today then. Im only asking as I had no time to watch or get updates. Bevvied with friends in the garden.

Goals. Hibs done well all over but final third we lacked that cutting edge. Dundee keeper was MOTM so tells you how it went. Good point though away from home but unlucky not to get all 3.

[greenlex]

Not long home and just seen their Penalty. I hope Mr Compliance officer is watching that. Shocker. Conned the ref.

[Spike Mandela]

Point away from home isn't a crap result. But wouldn't be a match day thread when Hibs don't win and you don't troll.

The point isn't whether you are home or away it's when you are THAT on top in a game you should be winning and based on todays performance it's a poor result. If Dundee had dominated and we defended well I would probably say it was a good result.

This is a problem we have had the last few years even in the championship where we dominate and have loads more chances than the opposition but end with a draw or a late sucker punch. Aberdeen are at the level when they do enough to get the result no matter what's required. That should be our aspiration.

Just seen the penalty on Sportscene. As the footage shows that it was a dive, what can happen now? FWIW I didn't blame the ref as I thought it was a penalty at the time.

[staunchhibby]

Do we still have a compliance officer if so he should be taking action for a blatant dive and deliberate handball by th Dundee players.

Clear dive and hopefully it's looked at and the guy gets banned but I don't blame the ref either. It was a stupid attempt at a challenge from Whittaker and it certainly looked like a penalty at the time.

[Tyler Durden]

Not exceptionally well but he impressed me again with his technical ability, that shot he had with his back to goal in the first half in particular. He manages to spin round and get shots away before defenders know what's going on.

Scott Allan looked hungry as hell as well. He will be, and already has been, a brilliant signing for them.

You're right actually, Murray was unlucky there and I was maybe harsh. Partly my point though is that in first few weeks of the season everything he touched was a goal. Last 2 games he's been a bit more true to his Dundee Utd form which isn't a major criticism, it was always gonna be tough to maintain the form of first few games.

Totally disagree on Allan though, he did very little and wasn't working hard to get on the ball. Coup for Dundee to get him but he's not done much so far.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

15 or 16 corners but most of them looked to be hit and hope and one of the short ones was really poor. Do we not practice these?

Not sure if it showed on TV, but Dundee had 11 players in the box defending corners. Really difficult to get a clean header when this is the case, hence we tried to mix it up.
But I agree that some of the balls were poor. Think I know the solution though.....

Someone to deliver?

[Billy Whizz]

Someone to deliver?

Anyone better than we have😄
Over the last couple of years we've had Allan, Henderson and Keatings who delivered great set pieces, McGinn, unfortunately is not in that league,

On set plays? You're having a laugh

[one day maybe...]

4 points from 6 away from home is not to be sniffed at. 3 points gained at home from 6 is what we should be disappointed with #GGTTH

[MWHIBBIES]

On set plays? You're having a laughDid we score any more goals from set plays than average that season? At the end of the season we did, fair enough and he scored 2 great free kicks but he isn't a deadball expert at the Riordan/Griffiths level.

Definitely some clouded judgement when it comes to Henderson on here, very good player but not quite as good as folk on here believe.

I was only commenting on LH's set plays, not his all round game. 14 corners today, and not a decent ball from any of them. Think he would have done better. Set plays are an important part of the modern game

We're not going to get someone on Griffiths level to hit dead balls though are we.

I was really impressed with us today, physicality and football were both good - pressed with controlled aggression, and worked some fine openings in the final third. Finishing does need to improve. It will.

I appreciate the point of those who are saying they'd rather we played worse and won, but a good performance was what I was really hoping for today after last week's no show.

Disappointed not to get the win but three very good performances from our first four games back is very encouraging. Plenty more to come from Stokes and Barker as well I reckon.

Marvin was colossal today. Did his usual good stuff but at the heart of a number of good passing moves as well, and was really unlucky not to score.

If we keep playing like we did today and somehow we keep failing to win then I would agree with that and say that I would rather we played ugly and won games. However, as you say, I think today was a lot to do with restoring a bit of pride within the team after the shambolic performance last week and we have done that.

As I've already said tonight, if we keep playing like that every week then we'll win more often than not.

[MWHIBBIES]

We're not going to get someone on Griffiths level to hit dead balls though are we.No but the way folk go on about Henderson you'd think he was at that level.

Henderson is a great player, don't get me wrong, but he isn't a dead ball expert and wont be the solution to our lack of goals from them. Thought from of our short corners today were quite clever, sadly they only really ended up with us getting another corner.

I´m hoping we don´t keep putting in the good performances and not coming away with the wins?
