From the telly, so in time honoured fashion I'll defer to those that were there:
Bogdan . 7 .. I didn't see him do anything wrong and his handling was excellent in difficult conditions he might have saved the goal, but it was well struck so it would have been an above average save to be honest.
Ambrose . 7 . In all honesty he strolled through the game for me and never seemed under a lot of pressure, did well on a few occasions.
McGregor 7 . Was first to just about every ball that came into our box and did extremely well when May got past Bogdan.
Porteous 6 . He loses a point for that pass, but to be fair to him he never let it affect him and he stuck to his duties pretty well, that's twice he's given away free kicks in dangerous areas with a booking to go with it against Aberdeen by diving in on GMS needs to be smarter against guys like him.
Stevenson 6 Not particularly effective going forward tonight, worked hard as he always does though it seemed to me that Porteous was often doing his left back duties for him.
Milligan 7 Defended well and stopped a really good Aberdeen chance with a superb challenge in the box.
Mallan . 6 .. Neat and tidy for the most part, but just doesn't have that explosive spark we need this seems to be my take on him after every game.
Slivka 6 . To be fair to him he got involved far more than I have seen him recently, but to little effect in all honesty.
Boyle 6 . Played a couple of really dangerous balls into the box which we should have done far better with that aside had very little impact.
MacLaren . 5 . Nowhere near the player he was last season, but he isn't getting the chances he was last season either.
Kamberi . 5 . One of his worst performances in a Hibs jersey scuffed at two decent chances failing to make contact with the ball on both occasions, though his movement was good at one of them. His failure to look up to see MacLaren with what would have been close to an open goal was extremely poor for a professional player and if you are going to go for the glory yourself at least look at the goal before blasting the ball 10 feet over the bar.
SUBS:
Horgan . 4 . Looked up for it, but didn't get nearly enough time to make an impression.
Allan . 4 Tried to get involved, but same as Horgan not enough time.
Neil Lennon. Why when we had failed to trouble Aberdeen after losing the goal and we just didn't look like making a breakthrough did he wait until the last 10 minutes to gamble, its not as if Aberdeen were destroying us with rapier like attacks and in all honesty our defence was coping pretty well.
The last few games have thrown into stark focus how badly we need a midfield player who can take a game by the scruff of the neck and that we need another experienced striker.
Bogdan . 7 .. I didn't see him do anything wrong and his handling was excellent in difficult conditions he might have saved the goal, but it was well struck so it would have been an above average save to be honest.
