Hibernian v Asteras

[hfc rd]

Looks like Gray is coming on. Hopefully for either Whitaker or Ambrose

[Lago]

If he even remotely thinks about making a point to the board while making his team selection I would sack him tomorrow. Losing this tie will possibly mean 1 less signing.
Spot on!!

[Northernhibee]

Away you go, you slaver.

:aok: Good point well made.

[mcfly]

I think it’s very very clear that new signings are needed now.

We’ve waited far too long - pointless qualifying for this if we are not prepared. This performance sums up fans worries.

Whitaker is done, Ambrose looks uninterested and Slivka is wasted out wide.

Things have to be better second half. 🤞🤞🤞

[Mikey_1875]

So we lose sjm and are worse side but hope to invest money in players to make us better.

It’s a gamble and we likely have to bet.

If that's the case questions need asked as we were told a month or so ago by Leanne that our budget was as big/if not bigger than last season. Confused as to where its gone.

[hibIBZ]

David grey coming on!

[HoboHarry]

Aye Lennon is well known for not wanting to win games right enough. FFS, is there a no limit to the level of stupidity posted on this site?

[we are hibs]

Where are those who were calling people bed wetters due to the lack of signings now? So amateurish

[Thecat23]

Btw this Greek side aren’t that good. We’ve just been so, so bad.

[Thegreenside]

Right wb at cm, a cm at wb and a wb up front?!?!?

[bathhibby]

Really bad 1st half. Tonight shows how poor we are atm. Need new signings in the door as soon as possible. McGinn is a huge player for Hibs. We lose him, then we are pretty much an average mid-table team.

McGinn is playing - what impact is he making ?

[makaveli1875]

Looks like Gray is coming on. Hopefully for either Whitaker or Ambrose

Hopefully its for Bogdan , Gray canny be any worse between the sticks surely

[One Day Soon]

:aok: Good point well made.

I certainly thought so.

[calumhibee1]

Slivka playinn in Whitaker’s position, Whittaker playing in Slivkas position, David Gray on the pitch who should be playing ahead of Whittaker but in the position that Whittaker should be playing, not the one he is actually playing. All because we’ve got a horrendously short squad.

[Stuart93]

Speculate to accumulate. Spend a bit of money to get good quality players in. Get ourselves in a position to have a go at Europe.

Record season ticket sales and we're near the end of July with only two new signings

[hfc rd]

Btw this Greek side aren’t that good. We’ve just been so, so bad.


Exactly this!

[SteveHFC]

Whittaker being cheered off there says it all.

[Lago]

I stuck up for Bogdan last week too..but he's been awful tonight...can't understand why we've signed him when Laidlaw is better. The lack of signings is coming home to roost now...we were nowhere near ready for this tie...

We're no where ready for the league never mind this tie. This is embarrassing.

Gray on. Hope he makes a difference.

[Speedy]

In what way is he making a point

Folk were pretty much saying this is our strongest side

It looked alright until he stuck the names in a bingo machine to assign them to positions.

[Stuart93]

There you go, Whittaker getting subbed off and crowd are cheering. As I said before this started, he's totally past it.

[Thecat23]

Whitty subbed and gets the biggest roar of the night, that says it all.

[One Day Soon]

Btw this Greek side aren’t that good. We’ve just been so, so bad.

Correct. Never mind signings, what’s on the park now is massively under performing.

[G B Young]

You think? How bad does this need to get before we're allowed to worry then?

We can officially worry once we've lost this tie 5 or 6-0 on aggregate and lost 2 or 3-0 at home to Motherwell on the opening day of the season (coupled with McGinn leaving in the interim).

[sambajustice]

Well, at least going out in the 2nd round takes away the fear of going out in the 3rd round!

[SaulGoodman]

Thursday night we're getting pumped Europe hopes are fading good to bad.
How is bogdan a goalkeeper, easy shots slipping through his hands.

Looking back through time you know it's clear that we've been blind we've been a fool.

[makaveli1875]

Well, at least going out in the 2nd round takes away the fear of going out in the 3rd round!

We were gonna pump Molde as well :greengrin

Hope Lennon keeps a cool head after this and doesn't react like he did after the Derby.

[PatHead]

Bedwetters having a field day here about lack of signings. Almost wonder if they are happy we are losing so they could say told you so.

[heid the baw]

The keeper is garbage but the outfield play has been woeful. Giving away possession, dreadful passing and no movement off the ball.
The Greeks can sit back now and watch hibs chase the game.
They will score again I reckon

[stuart-farquhar]

Poor 1st half from Hibs everywhere - a quick goal at the start of the 2nd half would good give us a lift and maybe we could pull this back, but the more we push forward the more they will be able to hit us with their smart counterattacks - think they are better mentally, physically and technically than us, they string passes together much more assuredly and creatively than we do going forward ... be interesting to see what Lennon comes up with for the 2nd half

So we train and prepare inadequately in all of those areas, despite being a full-time organisation whose sole purpose is to do just that!!? And a small Greek club can??

[Stuart93]

The fact that it took our management team 45 minutes to address something so obvious might cost us our place in Europe.

Hope Lennon keeps a cool head after this and doesn't react like he did after the Derby.


wonder why he did that :rolleyes:

He knew there and then DM would be leaving

as the extra money for 2nd place was going to be used to keep him

AND he knew that what we're seeing tonight was the probable outcome, hence the reason why he had a strop...True story!

Phew!, from what I could see Bogdnam shudda got the 2nd, but to come out of that with a win, its a reliefso, Id say we are 2 goals better than this tea on our day for sure,

However we have to assume we will concede, a score draw is well achievable , even if we have lost JM.

for me , whittaker , was poor , gray was great, efe defended well at times as usual, but is it worth the times he gives the ball away? should sir david be playing at RB before efe? probably not in the away leg, for defensive duties but in other home games, maybe. it does take height away, granted., if he is playing whits, I dont see why not gray even, infront of efe, until we get another wide an in.

all in all 3-2 will do.

Slivka looks a real handful every time he has been given freedom to run into the box etc he seems to have a great knack of finding space, his runs are great, im sure his days with the old lady taught him well in spacial awareness.

l Lets hop he keeps it up, have confidence in him

How calm was he for his goal, it was like he knew he was scoring... great stuff sir D

[we are hibs]

What was everyone's thoughts on slivka tonight? I thought he grew into the game in the second half. Thought he was slack in the first half though

[hibIBZ]

Thank Neil Lennon for seeing his mistake and hooking Whittaker at the half. Think everybody could see what the problem was. Way better. We look like we could of scored a few more, however our defence is very shaky. We will need to score next week, but on the 2nd half performance we can certainly do that

[Bishop Hibee]

Back in the house. What a comeback! Played ok first half especially McGinn but their were too many players playing out of position. Lennon needs to have a look at himself. Fair play, he changed it though and we were much better. Great scenes st the SDG equaliser and Kamberi’s winner. It’ll be tough over there but we’ve got the draw which is massive. Glory glory!

slivka looks far more dangerous in the middle . great touch and is only going to get better

[Borderhibbie76]

Just hope he's learned his lesson. The team that finished today with Allan, McLaren and a couple of others will be a real force to be reckoned with.

Really looking forward to the second leg but we need the Hibs of the second half to turn up!Indeed mate that 2nd half was brilliant...great tempo

The two faces of Hibs. Defensive blunders and great second half comeback. Can’ t fault the effort.

[blackpoolhibs]

Superb Hibs, although the same folk who couldnt wait to rip us up as ******** paper last week, were at it again tonight. Its as if they cant wait to rip us to shreds, and have no faith at all in Lennon and what he's trying to do? :rolleyes:

Some folk are frightened of their own shadows.

[Aldo]

It's a miniture version however given they are already broken in July due to Hibs I'm slightly concerned how they will be by November.

Pleasing!

Rangers won
Shouldn't trust BBC Scotland web site. Dammit.

What was the crowd? Looked about 15k

[Oscar T Grouch]

What a night, what a 2nd half, what a team. Slivka is a player, we will miss SJM when he goes (I hope he stays for the season), this team doesn't know its beat, the crowd was fantastic tonight.

I love Hibs so ****ing much :flag::flag:

[dmc1875]

Great comeback and spirit, team all over the place first half but at least we fixed it.

The new keeper is a shocker though

[pacoluna]

We can officially worry once we've lost this tie 5 or 6-0 on aggregate and lost 2 or 3-0 at home to Motherwell on the opening day of the season (coupled with McGinn leaving in the interim).

I can't take you seriously.

[Baader]

just have a look on kickback 😂😂😂 outstanding

Brilliant. One clown posting after FT thinks we need to score two away goals to win the tie haha!

Some compliments to be fair but that's countered by the likes of Hibs obsessed weirdos and proper thickos like the kiwidug. Embarrassing stuff but they are used to that there.

:agree: I wonder if we can send him back to Liverpool and get that Karius guy instead? :greengrin

[Thecat23]

That was so much better second half. Still badly needing players in. I’d play the 11 that started the second half over there.

I’d be tempted to bring in Bartley. Will be a very different game next week.

Gray go come in at right back is an obvious one too.

[wookie70]

Played well second half with great spirit and far more energy and tenacity. The Greek side were mediocre at best for me. The first half was a car crash. Too many players out of position, no energy and no movement. Lennon got it badly wrong not for the first time in a big game and took an age to sort it. We got away with it and hopefully we can perform and get another result in Greece but Lennon really does have to think about his selections. Square pegs for square holes.

[Deeds]

I’m so delighted that we have ourselves a fighting chance in this tie. We should not be to fearful of Euro teams... we approached the game better in the second half and got what we deserved...

[Malthibby]

What a (1/2 a) game.
Want to just enjoy it without any negatives but I'm a bit worried about that goalie......

So true.

It’s aye so predictable. To be fair Hibs.net seems a fair reflection of ER to me, because there’s always some shouty bed wetters spewing mince there too.

I wish people could channel their support for Hibs more positively. Yes go radge when things are going wrong, but right now things are not going wrong.

[Onion]

Great comeback tonight, we’ll done Hibs. What I saw ...first half set up was all wrong. Slivka was lost as RWB so all the danger came down our left side. Whittaker looks spent. Asteras are a slick, fit outfit who look comfortable in the ball and going forward. Hibs players looked slow and ponderous by comparison. Their defence looks ultra dodgy ! Every time the ball came into their box, we had a half chance. Hibs didn’t play well but could have scored 5 or 6 in another night.
The ref was card happy towards Hibs players, who were a bit niaive. Asteras looked like seasoned European travellers.

They will be big favourites to progress bit their defence give me hope we can snatch a goal in Greece. Importantly, they need to win the game, we don’t.

[One Day Soon]

They're the people with tickets inside the stadium. But that's not important right now.

This thread is riddled with some truly awful posts but amid the ordure is your gem. Ten out of ten for observing the proper niceties sir.

[scoopyboy]

Just back from the game, I said on the bus coming back from the game that I was coming onto this thread and was going to go back to roughly half time.

I correctly predicted what some posters would be saying, pity I couldn't pick my fixed odds teams as well.

If you want a good giggle go back to around page 7.

[One Day Soon]

Brilliant comeback, don't you just love a 3-2 win with a late winner :greengrin:flag:

Oh yeah. :agree:

[tamig]

What was everyone's thoughts on slivka tonight? I thought he grew into the game in the second half. Thought he was slack in the first half though

Slack in the first half? That’s maybe because he was played out of position.

[scoopyboy]

Hope we don't, McGregor suspended and don't want to do a hearts.

[HibeeSS0762]

Anyone got a link for Neil’s Interview post match

[jakedance]

Shocking first half with Lennon to blame for setting us up all wrong. So sad to see Whittaker getting a lot of criticism. I was a big fan first time round but he looks finished. Slivka was poor in the wrong position and the goalie looked at fault for both goals.

Second half we looked so much better with Gray on the pitch. Slivka got more in the game and we deserved the win. We might have blown it with those two away goals but if we can shore up our defence and have a go at them we’ve got a great chance of going through.

McGinn was tremendous throughout.

[IanM]

keeper is brutal.

tie over.

Hahahahahaha

[IanM]

Lennon to blame.

The dogs on the street knew Hibs were underprepared for this one.

Hahahahaha

[GRA]

Hope we don't, McGregor suspended and don't want to do a hearts.He's not suspended, only been booked twice. Need three bookings for suspension in Europa League.

Pretty much what I would have said - we should also use subs more - Slivka was knackered at the end, should have brought someone else (Smanson?) on.
