I'm as disappointed as anybody that we just had to settle for 1 point for the 3rd game in a row, but I thought, as a bit of an antidote to the plentiful negative threads, I'd highlight any positive aspect of yesterday's game,


1) As we've all moaned about it for weeks, it's worth pointing out that we finally scored the first goal

2) We once again had an fantastic attendance, 17,335

3).... ehm, nope, that's it from me


Feel free to add anything you can, in an effort to cheer people up...

p.s. If just you want a moan, please do so in one of the MANY negative threads. There's plenty to choose from :wink:

we got a point when it could easily have been none.


Also true.

Stokes is looking sharper every game that goes by. Not just his goals but thought his general build up play was very good.

Marv was excellent.

Barker has huge amounts of potential and looks genuinely two footed. His decision making needs worked on but I think he'll trouble opposition defences.

We're unbeaten in 3.

The Rangers, Aberdeen and St Johnstone all had easier games than us and dropped points.

In 11 competitive games this season we've only lost 1 (discounting the lost bonus point penalty shoot out v Ross County).

I thought Stokes was impressive too - in terms of both what he did and his effort/commitment.

Barker looked very good at times in the first half and was arguably our most potent attacking threat during that period.

McGinn had his work cut out playing against superior numbers throughout the game. There was very little from our wide players in the second half and, while Marv was good defensively, he's never really going to be playing one-twos with McGinn while we try to keep possession. In those circumstances I thought McGinn's performance was good and he made some really good passes - including the one for our penalty.

Slivka and McGeouch brought in an additional bit of quality to the middle of the park when they came on and helped to steady the ship.

We're Hibs fans, which is always a positive.

We are in the top league. We have a squad you would have bitten your left leg off to have a few years ago. We are two points off third place. We may well be in the semi-final of the league cup on Tuesday night. It is early in the season with lots to look forward to.

In fact the only negative is really the nonsensical moaning on this forum...

I was more thinking along the lines of positives from yesterday's game but, fair enough.

Maybe in the past we would have lost that game the way it was going, but we didnt.

Barkers first half performance, Marv did quite well and Stoksey played well.

Over 17,000 for a match against Motherwell.

We're still above Hearts.

Went to the Bier Hoose for a pre match pint for a change, decent.

For all it was a pretty poor result we didn't lose any ground on the teams above us with the exception of the irrelevant Celtic.

It's annoying not to have held on and got above Motherwell but we're still within striking distance of them, St Johnstone, Rangers and Aberdeen.

Is that six goals in seven starts for Stokes now?

We have the biggest crowds out-with the pair in Glasgow - over 17,000 on a cold, wet and miserable afternoon against unglamorous, Motherwell
We have a born-winner in Neil Lennon.
We are still finding our feet in the SPL and have lost only 1 game.
We have a squad that is on a par with Aberdeen and marginally better than The Rangers.
We currently dominate and own the Capital derby.
