moves us up to 5th

[Allant1981]

hopefully now milligan has some game time he will start and we will start to have a settled midfield, definitely need to play 2 up top more often

[Deejk107]

Looked as close as we did to the 2nd half of last season as soon as Milligan came on and we went two up top. Celebrated Milligan getting stuck in like goals here so good to see a midfielder willing to get stuck in. Gotta start with that team from now on.

[neil7908]

Phew.

Great win for us. We looked so much better with Milligan and McLaren on. A much better balance in the midfield android up top.

Same team that finished this game should be starting next week. Dundee are rubbish, should be giving them a real doing.

[hibIBZ]

Important 3 points, even without the performance. 2 points off 2nd need to play the team that finished, certainly the midfield

[Fifehibby74]

ps we do love a 3-2 score line

[murray26]

In terms of pushing for a European spot.. to lose from 2 up today would have been a real blow.. maybe those to subs coming on is the turning point.. anyway great 3 points

Good 3 points - looked a penalty to me - good 2nd half substitutions, some decent performances 2nd half - Lennon needs to get the defence sorted out ...

[CMac1988]

Well done Hibs. Credit to Lennon for making the changes but ultimately it's the two subs everyone with eyes would have made. Onwards and upwards.

[FitbaFolkKen]

Good call from the referee there. I didn't think it was a penalty but the replay shows that Jamie was caught in the ankle.

That was my thoughts too. On the replay though you see he is clever and just sticks his foot down in between Broadfoot and the ball. Broadfoot kicks the back of his ankle.

[Phil MaGlass]

Livi another 3 pts today.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Cracking match, different team when Maclaren cane on and we had 2 up.

The starting 11 were absolutely fine and they scored twice. Killie scored 2 good goals. I think the most significant change came when we replaced Boyle who wasn't having much success.

I thought we played well, but lacked a bit of creativity. Having said that, Killie are a very decent side.

Indeed. Completely agree. Hyndman for me has done nothing of note to merit his place in the team never mind a start. Perhaps harsh but I've no time for players who just wander around doing bare minimum.

Enough has been said about Whittaker but for me he's done. I can't keep waiting for him to have a good game after a couple of well below par games.

Again I'll probably catch some flack but to be where we want to be we need better and as you say Lennon I s responsible for the team we have and equally the team which starts.

[Peevemor]

I don't see what Whittaker done wrong today. At times he can look a wee bit slow to release the ball, but generally it's not wasted when he does. In saying that I think Milligan will offer more.

[number9dream]

When did Milligan last start a game? Perhaps unrealistic to think he would last 90 mins today. Kamberi was rusty as hell, the ball was just pinging off him but the run out and goal will give him a lift.
MacLaren pepped up the team with a burst of energy and Agyepong was promising with some good runs.
Horgan was a box of tricks in the first half, although he lost his man for Killie’s first, then looked like his boots were on the wrong feet after the interval.
Mallan’s free kick was a beauty. His best so far? Still think he hasn’t quite found his best position though.
Hyndman just floated around on the periphery. If the kid was meant to be a replacement for Scotty Allan then that particular move appears to have backfired.
Ambrose was head and shoulders above everyone else on the park.

He was getting the blame either way.

Milligan looked much the same when he came on - hard to say though after 20 minutes.

Both are better footballers than Bartley. Depends on what you’re looking for from a defensive midfielder I suppose.

A good game? Was mediocre at best. Offers nothing. Far too lackadaisical and the majority of the time it's because he can't keep up with play. I dont blame him per se. But more Lennon for expecting too much of him in the role he plays. Hyndman was anonymous without making and obvious mistakes. Whittaker tried but just can't find consistency due to a lack of pace and poor decision making. There's a reason why after they 2 went off we started to play football through the middle and actually started winning second balls.

Whittaker was far from awful. People must watch a different game. Far far better than Hyndman who doesn’t get nearly the same level of criticism.

Thread is only 12 pages long so we must have won the game. I wasn't able to watch it so I'm assuming that Whittaker has been judged to have been rank (or pish in the .net vernacular). What about the news guys Agyepong and Milligan? How were they?

[CMac1988]

Whittaker was far from awful. People must watch a different game. Far far better than Hyndman who doesn’t get nearly the same level of criticism.

Whilst you weren't necessarily directing your message at me, let's be honest, we got lucky today with a penalty that it seems more and more wasnt a pen. The defence has been leaking goals too easily in recent weeks and for me the midfield have to apportion some of the blame.

Stevenson was out of position and Horgan gave his man far too much space after a simple give and go.
Their second was a good finish but again we let players swan through midfield too easily and midfield pairing of

Whittaker and Hyndman isn't for me. I agree that Hyndman was probably the worst (perhaps the least effective) player on the park today and has yet to give me any reason to believe he's worth a start. Equally though I don't think Whittaker merits a start. I do feel that the crowd getting on his case has dented his confidence a bit but he needs a breather. Starting Whittaker for me just isn't the answer to our woes right now. Don't agree then fair enough. But I watched the same game as everyone else today. He may not have been the worst but more than that he's isn't capable of much more than what he offered today...

Whittaker was never to blame for the two goals today. The issue was the amount of times Lewis was left exposed due to Horgan’s lack of support for him defensively. I’m not sure what Lennon did at half-time but that door was pretty firmly closed for Killie in the second half.

I’m really sorry but I have to disagree.

I thought killie were def the better team for most of first half.

Our midfield of Hyndman (who was anonymous all day) and Whittaker were over run.

Kamberi looked off the pace on his own and looked far more confident when Maclaren came on.

Milligan appeared to organise things in the midfield, he looks a solid acquisition.

However it’s a work in progress. We won the game not playing anywhere near our best.

fair enough have your view...I actually agree the midfield were overrun in the first half..but Whittaker was on his own when they had the ball..The others (Boyle, Horgan, Mallan and Hyndman) were not working back without the ball. They were decent going forward but nowhere when Killie broke forward. Whittaker was left isolated, but that doesn't suit those who want to castigate him (not suggesting you by the way).. Lennon was happy with Whittaker today, congratulated him when he came off.

Going forward we looked much better didn't;t we...losing 2 goals a game is going to leave us win the middle of the league..not where we want to be..Need to start getting clean sheets. Milligan will help.

Our midfield may have struggled in teh first half but you can't blame Whittaker for that just because the others were not pulling their weight. Mallan made two telling contributions with a goal and an assist but offered little else, Hyndman was anonymous, Horgan tricky on the ball but poor going the other way and Boyle looked like he needed a good nights rest. For the first 30-35 minutes I thought Whittaker was the best player on the park. He struggled in the second half but that says as much about what he put into the first rather than his legs going. Horgan fades in games too and he is much younger. Whittaker could be a useful squad play as Milligan looked to be far more comfortable deep in our half and there were a couple of times where he made runs back into our box when our centre half was dragged out of position. That will stop a good few goals being leaked.

Spot on mate. Whitaker was good first half but could have done better for the 2nd goal

Hyndman was non existent

[J-C]

You simply can't play 3 attacking midfielders and expect Whittaker to do all the graft himself, it's no wonder we get overrun, I said as much in my 1st post on this thread. By the sound of it Whittaker was doing it all himself, Slivka or Milligan was needed to give him help. This is now a good few games where Lennon has got it wrong at the start and had to change it, sometimes too late or the players just not good enough. Unless he starts getting it right from the off it's gonba be a long season with lots of moans and grumbles.

I actually think the 2 goals were down to a back 4 instead of 3 or a 5.
Lewis looked like he was still a wing back and thought Hanlon was still in behind to provide cover.
Took him a while to readjust imo

Why do we keep shipping 2 goal leads?

You simply can't play 3 attacking midfielders and expect Whittaker to do all the graft himself, it's no wonder we get overrun, I said as much in my 1st post on this thread. By the sound of it Whittaker was doing it all himself, Slivka or Milligan was needed to give him help. This is now a good few games where Lennon has got it wrong at the start and had to change it, sometimes too late or the players just not good enough. Unless he starts getting it right from the off it's gonba be a long season with lots of moans and grumbles.Yup agreed...as I posted earlier he really needs to get his starting 11 sorted...too many games where we are looking out of shape and needing to subs to change things around. Not all his fault due to injuries and work permit issues etc but he needs to start getting a settled and the correct starting 11

Whittaker was very good today.
By far and away our best player in the first half, can't understand some of the comments about him. Second half not so good but still not as bad as some are making out.

Slivka offers plenty, no idea why he is being drawn into this. Would've done better than Hyndman today easily.


Maybe he would but he’s not done it so far this season.

I like Slivka but if he doesn’t realise that it’s time for him to stake his place and force his way into the starting 11 then he never will.

We also have a lot of new players and lost our preferred midfield trio from last season. We fans need to be patient. I’m confident we’ll see things settle down over the next 4-5 games.

I missed today's game, what formation did we finish with?

That’s from the same guys that said Porteous should’ve got a red card v Aberdeen isn’t it?

Whittaker played fine today, some good moments, and not enough bad moments to merrit the slating he's getting. There were folk around me in the west lower screaming at him from the word go. Some folk are weird.

Cool. With the players we've recruited over the summer I think that's the way to go but it all depends on how good Milligan is

Weird account.

[Hibrandenburg]

Hes done nothing wrong? Even Lennon saw that and subbed him. Whittaker was awful today and is far too pedestrian to play in midfield now.

Was that Lennon or Levein?

I wouldn’t go that far. He had his moments, but Mallan scored a sublime free kick and had a pin-point assist for the second, as well as generally playing well. His man of the match wasn’t just for for the second half performance.

[bigwheel]

I enjoyed the match. Thought there was much more to be pleased about than criticise. We looked very good going forward, and for the first time started to see what the team could look like when we get everyone up to speed. Milligan will bring a bit of mobility and steel into the midfield...we have some great wide options. SDG looks back to his best..and once we get Jamie and Flo back match fit, we will give most a game with our best 11 out..

Most of the post match posts seem to be focussing on what didn't go well...but I'd like to focus on the good stuff after a match like that...thought Killie scored two good goals. Our first two goals were right out of the top drawer. They will be a top six side imo so I'm happy we came through against a good side..

Take the 3 points but that was awful

I have no idea what your expectations of Hibs are but that was anything but awful.

The first half was a great game of football with 2 decent teams going at it.

If you think back 4.5,6,10 or however many seasons you could easily describe some of Hibs and Scottish Football in general's games as awful

I think Hibs and the SPFL have improved out of all recognition the last few years, I have seen more awful EPL games in that time than I have SPFL ones

Have you ever in your entire posting history posted anything positive about Hibs, it is just constant negativity from you.

Lennon was delighted with Whittaker today, and made a point of highlighting that in his post match interview...he wanted to give Milligan game time, that's why Whittaker was subbed.

A good game? Was mediocre at best. Offers nothing. Far too lackadaisical and the majority of the time it's because he can't keep up with play. I dont blame him per se. But more Lennon for expecting too much of him in the role he plays. Hyndman was anonymous without making and obvious mistakes. Whittaker tried but just can't find consistency due to a lack of pace and poor decision making. There's a reason why after they 2 went off we started to play football through the middle and actually started winning second balls.

Howdy partner, That's a bandwagon you have just jumped on

Folk see exactly what they want to see, nothing else.

Whittaker had a very good first half and a decent second half until he tired and was rightfully substituted when he was.

He is a DM, both goals come from the left wing and are scored by their forwards and he is to blame, aye right

Still once we have a scapegoat we are as well to stick with him as it lets people who watch a game that must totally pass them by get involved with the debate.

if you read some of the crap on here the next thing Whittaker will be getting blamed for is the sinking of the Titanic.

Agree with most of that. Have absolutely no idea how that can be described as awful. It wasn’t even close to being perfect. But awful? Naw.

We’ve got a lot of work to do to make sure we are in the mix for European places at the end of the season but there were plenty positives yesterday. The quality of the first two goals for starters.

[Ozyhibby]

Definitely wasn’t awful. Controlled most of the 2nd half. Last 20 mins was excellent.
