Hibs v Aberdeen

[Ryan91]

Shaw is totally isolated up front. Needs support badly.

[hibIBZ]

This has 1-0 to Aberdeen written all over it. Surely a sub is needed

[SteveHFC]

He needs to make a change.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Time to change. Even just for fresh legs

Movement on the bench for Hibs

[Callum_62]

People actually saying you can’t blame the goalie, lol he’s meant to save and hold pish easy shots like that, 100% at fault. Accident waiting to happen

Absolutely no chance - getting a block at all was a decent save

Nope.

The ref decided it was a yellow. No further action can be taken.

[SlickShoes]

We played well, goal was poor to lose but lots of positives to take from that and we are only going to get stronger.

We need another striker because shaw can’t do the job needed consistently yet.

Useless

[Speedy]

Shaw isn’t ready for playing at this level, his first touch is terrible and he gets shoved off almost everything

Better in a front too and while I agree he isn't (shouldn't be) first choice, he wasn't helped by the persistent pushing in the back that the ref continued to miss.

[Inconsequential]

Good point under the circumstances I thought. Marciano, McGregor, Bartley, Martin, Kamberi all out injured and Milligan still to play and maybe one or two signings still to come in. Definitely a red card for McKay-Steven but wouldn't have changed the result. Still unbeaten in the league so much for the experts that predicted a hammering from Aberdeen!

[PeeJay]

Good game, referee was truly awful GMS has to be a red! - We played well in spells, Ambrose switched off to give away a silly corner from which they scored - didn't need to happen - we got away with a penalty claim - had a few good chances, but wasted too many - thought Lennon should have made changes earlier, but his team selection and substitutions were interesting and brave - Horgan had a great first half, Boyle had his moments, decent team performance overall, particularly defensively, Whitty did well - lots of positives to take from the game -

I don't think Maclaren up front on his own is an option. He's not tall enough to be a target man and doesn't play with his back to goal.

In any case, I don't think he's fully match fit.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Should have won that. Couple of good saves from Lewis, one in particular from Horgan. Goal we conceded was absolute dug *****.

definitely need another striker and an attacking midfielder, fingers crossed

[500miles]

I watched it on Hibs TV. We were by far the better team, foiled by lack of finishing touch.

Kamberi, Mulligan, Agyepong, McGregor would all have contributed to us there. And while it was a point blank effort at goal, I think it's the sort of reaction save that Rocky specialises in.

Maclaren hasn't done nearly enough to merit a start from his last few games imo. Shaw was brilliant against Motherwell and got the goal against St Johnstone and played well so was well worthy of a starting slot. It was 2 up front to begin with as well and there's no way Boyle should be dropped.

Well done to maclaren for coming on and getting the goal that we deserved. Definitely should start next week now after getting on the scoresheet and I hope he kicks on from here.

[jacomo]

So a point, which was the most common prediction pre match.

Not a bad result, not a great one, but there are more players to come in and more to come from our squad. We are in a decent position.

Easier to be negative I suppose.

[matty_f]

Unlucky not to have won - biggest flaw was the finishing/creating real clear cut chances.

Whittaker, Boyle, and Horgan were our best players imho.

Bogdan was unlucky at their goal, should never have conceded the corner though, schoolboy stuff there.

I thought Aberdeen were physical and that was all they had. We dominated the ball and eventually got the reward, when we play like that we are going to break teams down eventually.

The ref was brutal. Absolutely brutal.

[Tornadoes70]

Always good to salvage a draw with a late goal when one down especially against an Aberdeen team who're no mugs. We need to spend a bit on getting in at least two quality players and we'll do just fine.

Just wish the sfa could buy in quality referees to replace the garbage they put out every week - andrew dallas, kevin clancy, willie collum, craig thompson etc.

[Hibbyradge]

[Bob Box Fish]

Match was very similar to the two games at easter road last season vs
Aberdeen. We definitely need another 2-3 players for me centre mid, centre half and a left back.

Would be nice to see us spend some more money to give us strength in depth. The Murray fee / European run would more than covered any outlay on transfer fees so far...

Time to spend.

[Mikey09]

We'll be a different animal with Kamberi and Milligan in the side.

[GlesgaeHibby]

Entertaining game that we edged. Wish Lennon would play Boyle out wide - far more effective there than up top.

[truehibernian]

What do you think was Lennon's reasons for doing that ?

Was JM not used sparingly when he arrived on his first loan spell ? Maybe fitness needs to be worked on (which I doubt) or easing him in after a gruelling summer away at the WC ?

Interesting to hear NL say he’s looking at the forward area too when he said we’d add one or two more. Personally I’d love another centre half who can switch to full back if necessary - oh and Scott Allan !

[Onion]

Was at the game, and agree with this. Aberdeen are a well established, well drilled outfit and I was interested to see how our team in transition and missing a few key players would do against that lot. Overall, we did just fine and were the better team for long spells, restricting them to nothing in the 2nd half. Great spirit from the players to keep going and got a deserved equaliser.

Once we get our No1 keeper back, our strong defensive midfielder in and our top striker back, we'll even better. Lennon appears to be pulling together another squad that will push for a top 4 place - really pleased with today.

[wookie70]

A decent point in the end. We played pretty well and deserved at least that. There were some pointers for me. We desperately need to work on our defending of set plays, Oli Shaw will get bullied if isolated, Boyle has to play wide right, Horgan looks a decent find and was also good working back when not in possession, Ryan Porteous is making me forget Daz is injured and may be ahead of him in the pecking order now, we finally seem to have realised that a bit of foul play is sometimes necessary Mallan, Lewis and Porteous all taking one for the team. Aberdeen are a really poor team to watch away from home and finally Dallas is hopeless and is one of the few referees who can get the whole game to stop twice when he hadn't blown for a free kick.

[Scott Allan Key]

Zero movement in the final third from Hibs players, nobody making moves

If anyone says McLaren doesn’t bring anything to Hibs, his movement for the equaliser was superb. It’s what he brings the team.

Draw was least we deserved.

Good character after going behind.

Scored with the only time we hit the byeline and zipped in
Low.

Definitely want Allan in to do the unexpected and get our wingers/wing backs to the bye line.

Allan would’ve unlocked that defence

We resorted to high balls against a team of giants at CH

Boyler far more effective out wide but Sir David playing well and apprecywhy he was in today for solidity

Putting it into perspective that SJM, Dylan and Allan have moved on that is a massive void to fill.

Finally ... Horgan .... absolute terrier and very good footballer

Would love to see him and Boyler out wide in a 4-2-3-1 formation but harsh dropping any of our current back 3

Boyle is much better on the wing and Shaw needs to go out on loan to get game time playing against seasoned professionals. He's not at the level he needs to be playing for a top 3/4 club.

[gazzag70]

The major positive for me today is that we were by a distance the better team. We have a far better first team to come especially if we sign Scottie.I think we are going to get much better when we have a full squad with one or two additions. GGTTH!

We are still crying out for a centre forward that takes the ball in and let's the midfielders get higher up the park beside them.

Aberdeen were happy to let us play in front of them and wait for us to launch it to Shaw who is too slight to play the hold-up role, IMHO.

Surely some players will be shipped out this week and we can strengthen the team up front?

It was a good performance. Only black mark was the goal we lost was horrible and totally avoidable. Problem is it’s starting to happen a lot.

From memory Efe started out on the back post then moved off the back post to try and challenge May beyond the back stick. That shouldnt be the job of the guy defending the back post. Basically no one was picking May up. Having said that Boggy did make a balls up of it as Im sure he will admit.

[H18 SFR]

Solid point today, I felt that Shaw playing meant we were effectively playing with 10 men as his main skills and attributes were completely nullified by Aberdeen's land of the giants defenders (in comparison to Shaw). He clearly has potential and terrific finishing ability, but not yet when up against the type of opponent he faced today, further development needed for the boy yet.

Very poor at getting the ball in behind the Aberdeen defence-finally did and scored.Played far too much in front of them which made it easier for their defence to block.Badly need a midfielder to get the passes through for the strikers to run onto.Boyle is wasted as a part of a front two and midfielders don't know where to find him.He should always be played wide right as he terrorises defenders there.If we play today's system it should be a choice between him and Gray depending on our defensive needs in the game.
As usual everyone gave 100% and never gave up.

Aberdeen did the same move at corners in the first half 3 or 4 times. Hibs defence never realised this.

I thought Aberdeen were quite aggressive and dirty today like Ross county last wknd, could this be a way we should expect teams to play us this season??

[J-C]

Straight back to work after the game and just back in.

Huffed and puffed but apart from a few shots from distance hardly looked like scoring, we need to get the midfield sorted sap ans this is where we're missing IMHO.

Watched the goal again and Efe doesn't even recognise May is behind him, he was oblivious the fact he had acres of space, keeper made a bit of a hash of it, it was shot at him from close range but he should've held onto it. The defence just seems to make the same schoolboy errors all too often, never seem to learn from mistakes, especially from set pieces.

STOP playing Boyle up top, he tries his best but his pace is better used attacking the fullbacks, play him as a bloody winger, Shaw is still a young lad and shouldn't be playing 90+ minutes yet, he's still learning and the odd 20 minutes would be better for his development.

Why was Slivka not playing, not having a go at Whittaker but jeez he's not a proper midfielder and if Slivka can't get a start ahead of him, then maybe it's time to move Slivka on as he's wasted on the bench

Today's game just shows we desperately need Allan in pronto, he makes those killer passes that wins games, what the hell is up with this sodding visa for Milligan, he's and internationalist FFS and from a commonwealth country, what's the hold up??

Again we seemed to look more dangerous when going to a 4-3-3 set up near the end.

Disappointed at a draw after having so much of the game, just goes to show that getting in all your signing targets before the season starts is important, we looked very disjointed at times.

Andrew Dallas...cheating snidey devious little ****, that's all.
