I didn’t think Hanlon was poor, desire to not get back when we are out of possession cost us. Mclaren has to track Tavernier for their first her nearest man had to do better.

More annoyed with performances from mcginn, Ambrose and Mcgeouch at times when we were up against it. Easy when we are coasting but too many slack passes and for me mcginn has been really poor last couple of games.

I disagree with the theory we should have backed off and defended better. We had them on the back foot and it was better to keep them there as long as possible. If we'd got a 4th at that point, who knows what would have happened. Fwiw, I thought Taverner had a good game and his goal was pivotal in turning the game for his side.
What a pleasant change to see two teams open up and go for goals. Let's be grateful we don't have a Leveinesque manager.

To be honest, what he said in the first sentence was right. The three of them were abysmal today and it certainly seemed to be the consensus with everyone around about me.

I don’t agree that we need to replace them though (unless one is sold).

I really did think it was on at 3-0 though.

Mcgeouch was left covering two players a few times in the second half. I thought McGinn was very quiet, Dylan was very good and Scott Allan was magical till he got nailed.
Oddly enough, Cumdog made a few bad choices in his play - almost Sparkyish - in that he didn't appear to really want to score. The best example of that was when he had an open goal but took an extra touch allowing Effe to cover the line.

Yeah I understand your point but in possession when we were getting pegged back his quality was poor. Mcginn was nowhere near the player he is when he asserts his dominating on the game and was the same against Hearts. Love the 2 of them as players but fairly under par which naturally has an impact on the overall as 2 players you rely on massively.

That's not an easy thing to achieve.

We pushed Hanlon much further forward than usual today which helped us going forward, but the result was predictable at the back.

We can't keep doing that.

Some of our best players never finished the season as well as they have played throughout but that much have been an energy sapping game to play in. Hanlon and Stevenson have hardly missed a game and I think the legs were getting weary this month. McGinn has received more kicks than any player in the league and Dylan is playing with a mask having played far more football than he usually does. The good news is today others stepped up to the plate and we were superb for 20 minutes. Some of the one touch play was at a level far higher than the league we played in and I for one came out the ground feeling like the players have given their all this year and my season ticket has rarely been such good value. For all I'm not Lennon's biggest fan he must have instilled the belief that we could still finish 2nd after the way we started the game and that is very good management, Pity he never got us to cool the jets at 3-0 but to be fair we could easily have scored a fourth before The Thes woke up. There are enough legends leaving without trying to be overly critical of others on a day that finished the season in such an enjoyable way.

Apparently Lennon said in his post-match interview that he wanted the players to go for it (first half) and he wasn't too worried about losing goals in the process.

When you need 6, in the ascendency and what you’re doing is working, why would you change it ? You cannot ‘game manage’ a 6-0 win against Sevco or Celtic. Had Whittaker managed to score with that header at 3-0, Sevco players would have defacated themselves. Instead, it was a wake up call and they turned it around.

I’ve no problem when we are playing g 3 at the back with a wing back tucking in for him or if there was a defensive mid to slot in but we were left wide open in that formation and him and Efe going off on runs.

As I mentioned after Hearts match Hanlon and Stevenson are off pace and the defence needs refreshed ,Shocking basic defensive errors and yet again unnecessary free kicks given away...Hanlon was all over the place today and looked a nervous wreck at times.Stevenson is well Stevenson.
We had a display of superb attacking football and dismal defending, clear where the improvements need to be made.
Mind you no- one said supporting Hibs would ever be easy.
The welcome style of attacking flare needs to be tempered a bit so as not to leave so many and frequent gaps at the back.Seemed today every time a ball was played up to our right back defensive area no right back was there enabling time and again for a Rangers player to get closer than he should .
All in all a decent return to the top league ,so let's celebrate that today.

At 3-0, we dared but dream but this is Hibs. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable until we were 8 or 9 goals up. :rolleyes: That was never gonna happen. :greengrin

As it turned out we scored 5 for the second home game in a row. When did that last happen? I can’t recall in over 50 years of watching. It probably has, just can’t bring it to mind.

What has to be commended is that even at 3-5, we continued to battle and got, in the end, a deserved draw. It was, given the state of the game midway through the second half, the least we deserved. Hibs teams of the past would have just crumbled and accepted the 3-5 scoreline, probably even conceded again. Not this team. Credit to Lennon and the players for adopting this never say die attitude.

I can only assume your eyes are painted on. He had one major mistake where he played the ball square to SJM but he had already moved on ....that led to a free kick and a goals for them. He was wherever he was being told by Lennon to play, im struggling to figure out why some people are missing that we played a completely different formation that we normally do. Almost every single player was being pushed up by Lennon. Thats why we got caught time after time. The midfield didnt track back at all once we were 3-0 up.

In all honesty HC you’ve had a bit of a mare this week with some of the posts you have put up. Very rare does one poster get so much grief unless they are in the wrong, nothing to do with opinions it’s about the way you say it and have constant digs at us yet defend Hearts.

I know you're a 100% Hibs man & you post some good stuff on here, but this post reads as if you've been waiting all season for an opportunity to criticise Stevenson. I also agree it's only your opinion & i know you're posting while disappointed but it also comes across as a desperate need for your opinion to be proved correct. We all get things wrong, I was delighted when we appointed TB. Being a tad more objective will give your opinion more authority.

We got hit with a decent counter for their opener - it happens. That wasn't poor game management, it was just football. 2nd and 3rd were entirely preventable but it's clear they were sent out there to take it to sevco and the end result was that crazy score and performance.

Not the first time this season we've had a corner, switched off and the opposition have broken away. Today the Huns scored, in the cup game against Hearts they broke and scored from the resulting corner. Not all down to our defence, our midfield was sleeping.

No real Hibby would leave early in your opinion, however, anyone who has paid their money can leave when they wish and that should be without criticism, regardless of the score at the time.



Why?

Stevenson, Hanlon and Ambrose all poor today and badly at fault for 4 of their goals. I'd replace at least two of them.

Fine. Who’d you fancy for Hanlon and Efe?

BTW, that’s club legend Hanlon you’re offloading....

So people that left early today "shat it" and never had places to be or things to do?

What would have happened to these “things to do” if it was still 3-0 at half time?

All the goals in the first half were preventable. But you shouldn’t get caught like that from your own corner. It wasn’t as if the ball even broke out quickly. The goalie had it in his hands and we just switched off. And then we didn’t show enough desire to get back in.

More disappointing than the goal was the way we just folded after it though. Even when they scored we were still 2 goals up after 25 minutes and we’d all have taken that.

At 3-0 we really had a chance to do it.

hindsight ; at 3-0 we should probabbly have played the ball around for 10 minutes to take a breather but the players smelt blood and while almost getting no 4, lost
bad goals from being so gungho.

Great entertainment today, so hard to be negative. Just hope now the players due to leave have a rethink and sign for another year. With lennon we can do something
so up to the board now to back the team.

Hibs second and third goals came from Stevenson deliveries.

Just realised it was him when watching the highlights. Again, great cross.

Hmmmm,thinking the same,maybe Man City are going to let Gall Stones leave,Man Utd fans are seriously hacked off with their team,what players do you think we should"plunder"from them ?

Midfield were the ones to blame for the goals, not the back 4. McGinn jogging back, McGeouch missing every time time they came forward. Back 4 left hopelessly exposed by indisciplined midfield

It was on, it was REALLY on! 😔.....

Let's deny them 2nd Hibs and finish 20 above Hearts!

take away the hysteria if we'd made a tactical sub at that point like big Marv for slivka and played the diamond we might have won the game.slivka played well though, just to shore up and prevent gaps that they subsequently got.

It was a privilege to be at that game on Saturday and why anybody could take their eyes of it, never mind leave, is beyond me.

For years prior to us getting relegated I remember saying to my mates after games “when was the last time we seen a great game at Easter Rd?”. Not said that for a long time now.

We went for it, got close but we ain’t infallible and rangers deserve credit, begrudginly, for their response.

Hey, it could have been wose, you could have been at Rugby park for a dead rubber.:cb

You enjoyed the match so much that I'm sure you actually bought a round after the game. Have to agree with you 21 goals at ER post split. Who wouldn't enjoy that, except maybe Craig Levein and some wierdo jambos!!

My moment of the season was going 3-0 up after 20 minutes, andJohn Mcginn grabbing the ball and running back to the half way line

Would you still have had those "things to do" if we were winning at that point? My guess is no.

This is the crux, really, eh? I'd wager that at least 90% of the time in normal circumstances the answer would be no, and on Sunday nearer 100%.

People can dress it up all they like, but the reality is a) those leaving at 3-3 or 3-5 on Sunday just didn't have the stomach to watch us get beat, and b) those who leave early in general are just so concerned with saving 25 minutes of their life or whatever, that they prioritise it over being there when last-minute goals go in.

I accept and acknowledge there's often perfectly legit reasons, but imo that's the reality in the vast majority of cases.

Best 3 minutes of the season for me when that 3rd went in, it was 100% happening!

When the 3rd went in my laddie was cuddling me and screaming "it's on its on, we're going to get 6!" Amazing scenes and I really believed that it was more than just a possibility at that point
