Kilmarnock 2 v Hibs 0

[tamig]

Why would we start the way we did then take two senior players off? It’s a shambles.

So if you’re a senior player you’re exempt from substitution?

[SlatefordHibby]

Still plenty time for a comeback then.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Oli shaw heads wide

[1van Sprou7e]

Shaw heads just wide

[where'stheslope]

Kamberi free header past the post!!!

[CMac1988]

Great ball in and headed just wide from Shaw. Should've probably hit the target.

[The 90+2]

Keep me posted on any other imaginary conversations you think we're having...

Why do you have to be a complete ******** all the time pal? Give it a break.

[Centre Hawf]

Shaw misses a great chance and doesn’t even test the goalkeeper. Really want that laddie to score and get some confidence again. Feel for him at times.

[Hibernia&Alba]

How long is left now?

[calumhibee1]

Shaw has to do better.

[basehibby]

Hope we can turn this round now - bizzare and outlandish starting selection from Lennon - 4 Centre halfs FFS! The much maligned - but quite handy IMO Horgan might make a difference by bringing a bit of pace into that midfield.

[007]

Shaw heads just wide

Should've at least hit the target.

[Callum_62]

2 big chances blown - gotta take one soon

Complete sitter missed by Shaw. Crucial miss.

[One Day Soon]

:dunno: Maybe a delegation of players went to Petrie's gaff complaining about the manager flaunting his six pack at training again?

I heard Petrie actually now has a purpose built Delegation Room at his place. Paid for with the McGinn money. Some wealthy Hibs backers wanted in on it too but him and Sir Tom are so small minded they refused to even have the conversation. Got the information from a friend, can't name any names.

[My_Wife_Camille]

Need a hibs goal for £178, so that probably won’t happen to sum today!

[The 90+2]

So if you’re a senior player you’re exempt from substitution?

No, of course not, but I wouldn’t be benching two of them at half time while leaving Jamie MAC on the bench and bringing on Horgan who himself got benched randomly.

[wookie70]

Bad miss Shaw. Looks like we have stumbled onto a formation. Width has allowed Mallam to start passing the ball. We now in a good position and looking good

[hibsbollah]

Horgan is looking like the player we signed.

[CMac1988]

Good save from Bogdan after Killie break.

[YanYansen]

Horgan made a big difference apparently. NO ****. What, more of a difference than 279 defenders?

[Ronniekirk]

Still plenty time for a comeback then.

If we could take chances yes. But we are struggling to do that

[SlickShoes]

In the "grand scheme of things" Milligan, Horgan, Mallan, Kamberi, McLaren, Hyndman and Bogdan won't be that expensive, but in Hibs terms I'd be astonished if these players weren't taking home some of the biggest wage packets we've ever handed out.

Would you prefer to have these players to Scott Allan, Lawrence Shankland or Greg Stewart? The players we signed (let's face it, duds so far although they have time to turn it around) will all be on more money than players who have been playing and playing well right under our noses.

Milligan has been good, Kamberi was a player everyone wanted to sign, Bogdan was signed because we needed a goalie and he has been a good one. Mallan was another that most people wanted us to sign.

The players you mention arent going to come to us for free, they will require a pay rise if they are being paid less than what we currently pay, maybe they also don't want to play for hibs? We can't force Scott Allan to leave Celtc.

[OtleyHibs]

Sounds like we are creating a bit since the restart, might be hope yet

[One Day Soon]

Why do you have to be a complete ******** all the time pal? Give it a break.

Well 'pal' you were the one being a dick having a go at me claiming I was calling you a Yam when I wasn't. When you're pulled up on it it's just "cool".

[CMac1988]

A bit more possession but no creativity. Killie breaking quickly when we ultimately lose it.

[One Day Soon]

I wonder if the one silver lining of this game might be an end to unconventional tactical selections. The contrast pre and post substitutions is so stark.

[YanYansen]

Lennon got to be questioned today with today's bizarre team selection. I mean seriously, what was he thinking? Giving it all this pish about "these are the only players I have", when quite clearly Horgan and Shaw could've started and given us a more sane lineup.

[HNA2]

Indeed … having to change the set up or personnel after half of practically every game is becoming a bit of a theme here.

[murray26]

Yes, enough is enough. Abandon it and replay :agree:

[nonshinyfinish]

[Del Boy]

I'll be up for a trip through on a Wednesday evening ….. just call it off now and hope that they find 50p for the meter before then :agree:

[cabbageandribs1875]

scoreboard reboots to 0-0 we start again :)

[Hibees1973]

Does anyone else hate this.....Hibs 2 down, chasing the game, all in hope and ultimately failure. It is torture reading this in the hope that they will turn it around. Let’s be honest this team has not shown any bottle over the last few months that gives us hope they can snatch a draw from this.

A pathetic Summer/Autumn signing policy has left us in this mess which could take a couple of years to sort out.....look what happened to Hearts.

Realistically what happens? They have went out twice, you can't just stop and start the game repeatedly.

As much as we want it abandoned surely it's the logical choice?

[hibsbollah]

Power cuts. It's like the seventies. Three day week, union power, all we need now is a great Tornadoes side and bon accord vans.

What happens if it was more than 70mins, out of interest?

[One Day Soon]

Should have been ditching the 3 at the back a while ago. We've looked toothless for weeks with that formation.

Yeah, we almost end up with too many players in midfield. Not enough space to play into or through, lots of possession in the space there but it's all sitting right on top of opposition defence and they compress the space too easily. No chance for our wingers or faster players to break into space. I also think we take two, three or even four touches way too often when we need to be releasing it forward - on the ground - much, much earlier. An Allan figure would help with that but both Mallan and Milligan are capable of doing this well in the right formation.

[Sir David Gray]

Still in total darkness.

[CMac1988]

Game will be off now and as less than 70 mins played means it’ll be a replay

I thought there was a cut off but wasn't sure what it was. Thanks for clarifying. Got to be called off now.

I know we were starting to hit our stride a little and settle into the changed formation but I fear it was a case of too little too late. Blessing in disguise as they say.

[1van Sprou7e]

Think we've dodged a bullet here, hopefully we'll be in better form when we replay this game

[007]

An abandoned game might be the spark to rekindle our season.

The game should be cancelled you can't stop start a game like that. Shocking.

[CMac1988]

What's annoying is you can guarantee that if they go off again then it's called off. Past the mark and they get their win... Ultimately though they deserve it and would no doubt feel a little unjust if they didn't get a win. But... It is their stadium and their responsibility. The conundrum.

Sets the tone for the season now. Think we'll finish top of the bottom group, at best. Just simply not anywhere good enough. The Australian players aren't helping the cause either, a very bad distraction we just do not need. Too many others not good enough and need to move on.

[Onion]

Real problems now. George needs to get a grip of this. We cannot constantly chop and change formations and players and then expect anything in the way of performance. Lennon has to take the blame for this and get back to the basics.

You'll be disappointed. Glass ceiling, lack of character, losing McGinn, injuries, floodlights, mis-firing strikers, dodgy officials ... we've had them all. Lennon would be well advised to say less and do more.

Plenty? Not sure about that

We needed a lot more £ spent after Mcginn left but we brought in a half arsed youngster on loan & a guy nearing the end of his career.

[Heisenberg]

His team selections have been a shambles for most of the season tbh. He’s been saved a couple of times by subs but more often than not we’ve not been up to scratch.

[Leith Green]

Lennon needs to identfy new signings and address the teams clear deficiencies in january. If he cannot fix it in next window , then he needs to go. His 2 summer transfer windows in the premiership have been awful , he managed to turn things around last january , im unconvinced he can repeat that.

[Jones28]

Is it just me who thinks the age of our squad is a problem? We've got so many senior players with youngsters being reduced to cameos. I look at St Johnstone this year and the way the stripped out a lot of older dead wood and are now flying.

[euro Hibby]

another bad night coming on the forum.......... but I think when form is poor
the safest set up is 442. Pity we did not do that from the start.

Indeed. I used to enjoy listening to what Lennon had to say and always felt he was very fair and astutue during interviews. Recently though it's excuse central and it's getting rather tedious.

[wookie70]

No chance of that. He said himself yesterday that he likes being in the limelight.

[Liam978]

I've backed Lennon for a long time but he should walk and take the recruitment team with him. Shambles.

What do you call a long time ya F---y, your pseudo name suits you, get lost GG2TH.

[Northernhibee]

Oh well, least we got that wee bit more money for Mcginn.

Disgrace we haven’t spent more, record ST sales, millions of pounds coming into the club where’s it all going? Small % been reinvested but that’s it. Not good enough.

Fees for Kamberi, Mallan, Horgan. Milligan not cheap, neither will be the fees for the likes of MacLaren and Bogdan.

We know this team can perform, we had spells of brilliance at the start of the season. Started to go wrong at Hearts and the rumours of the players being told good luck for the rest of the season.

Dropping Lewis for no reason yet not starting a RB at RB. Playing Efe in DM when we have a DM at RB. Lewis for Milligan. Three at the back when it’s not worked for a while.

I’m never concerned when the right team is out and is outplayed by a better team as it happens. Today was baffling. It’s not the first time.

[RossScott1991]

I can’t wait for his post match interview where he threatens to quit, again.

[cabbageandribs1875]

killies biggest win against us since 2011, although we did have 3 seasons avoiding them

[silverhibee]

Is it over?

Lights out.

[EH54]

Wish this season would just end the now. Waste of time this season has been. Only the Scottish to keep us interested.

[Fergos]

You'll be disappointed. Glass ceiling, lack of character, losing McGinn, injuries, floodlights, mis-firing strikers, dodgy officials ... we've had them all. Lennon would be well advised to say less and do more.

Id agree with the line that he should say less and do more, he was fed some leading questions yesterday and took the bait hook line and sinker - alongside the fact that’s it’s his job to replace players that are sold on as he would have known when he came to us.

GGTTH

[Onion]

Leeann and the board won’t act that quickly. We went through a worse run under Stubbs in the Championship and he kept his job.

Big diff today is money. If the Board is indecisive and Lennon cannot turn this around (quickly), you could see thousands drop their season tickets. Risk of relegation is unthinkable. That was not case with Stubbs.

[wookie70]

What odds was that? They were 7/4 just for the win. 9/2 which I didn't think was very generous but I couldn't see it not coming in. I bet about once a year so not one to throw money away

[big gogs]

Well Said. This quote sums it all up
,the club has backed the manager,within the funds available,the players signed have let us down recently,but the manager must take his share of the blame,his players,tactics,selection.he takes the glory after a win ,so he must take his share of the flak .what is the answer only those involved must decide.i want him to succeed,I really do ,but time is going against him.

[supermcginn]

Certainly a better option than 6 defenders!

[sundo1875]

Milligan is finished and Mallan is not good enough. Lennon’s recruitment in the summer has been nothing short of abysmal.

[A Hi-Bee]

Sad results and they have been for a while, dont know what is going on at our club, but its not good, all seems to have gone tits up since that game at the PBS even though we were no great shakes before that game, it has been erratic ever since. I have supported the manager and have been patient but there is a limit. Although knee jerk reactions never end well, we were not the best at the start of the season but we have gone downhill since. Change the manager - I dont know if this would be right I think he may come to that conclusion himself, but even if he goes Rod will still be at our club and nothing much is ever going to change while his shadow lurks the corridors of power at our club.
It will be interesting to see how our crowds go from now till Xmas, maybe then the ones in control will notice.
Something has to change, we need to start winning again the alternative is not a very nice thought.

[660]

It’s worth noting Lennon took over Hibs when we had just won the cup and had an incredible feel good factor.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Team selection, formation and subs all wrong.

A must win game on Wednesday now or we are going into freefall.

Manager has lost the plot.

Not a pleasant summary, Im afraid. :bitchy:

[Fifehibby74]

Can't believe how quickly things have went Pete Tong. Must win game against st mirren on Wednesday. Minds me off a must win game against them a few years back when calderwood was manager. A well suppose we've had our hibs high over the last year and a half (Scottish cup , championship promotion and excellent first season back in premiership) back to the usual I suppose. Shame as we had the fans back in droves - wonder what "actual" crowd will be on Wednesday night.

Not like you to be so negative...….

[B.H.F.C]

That first half today was as bad as you’ll ever see.

Effort, application and desire was disgraceful.

Looks to me like a number of them, on the pitch and touchline, have chucked it.

I'm no fan of Petrie it must be said.

But he had 3 parts of eff all to do with our defeat today.

[hhibs]

Not lennon's recruitment,ffffing others ,like Craig

[Hibeesforever]

Players need to look at themselves, our internationalist thinking they are better than they have shown. Confident Lennon will sort it out but ridiculous that Wednesday is now such a must win game, we are eighth for goodness sake!

[Beefster]

It’s worth noting Lennon took over Hibs when we had just won the cup and had an incredible feel good factor.

All true but not overly relevant to this poor spell.

Unless you’d like to explain the point you’re trying to make?

[Famous Fiver]

I have not read all 25 pages but I want to know if there pies were better than ours.

Nothing Lennon did today gives me any faith he’ll sort it. The most baffling team selection I’ve ever seen.

[Brightside]

Lennon is fully involved with recruitment. He is offered a variety of options and has final say on players. Every player we have signed has been up to Lennon.

You don’t know that. Main reason we are struggling is we bought poor players this summer. Maybe Rod has something to do with that, maybe not. Def did not use all the money that came in for McGinn. What are we saving that for?

100%.

There was the situation before the penalty Whitaker gave up.

Milligan got done about 10 times by Stewart and then stopped. (It was class skill but you don’t give up).

The application was amateur. The starting line up was abysmal.

You look a December and wonder where the next result is coming from and what we will look like at the end of the year. Wednesday is massive. Not knee jerk but lose that and it could be curtains for Lenny.

After the cup win look at the crowds, the feel good factor around the club we need to do everything to keep that. It’s a serious threat imo.

[660]

My point is he entered under great circumstances whereas most managers enter having to transform teams.

[IGRIGI]

No he’s still manager

😂😂

I was speaking about the bigger picture, not just getting humped today.

[Beefster]

So he doesn’t get any credit until the last couple of weeks?

[J-C]

Lennon has taken a good bunch of players and through his bizarre signings/team selections and weird interviews he's managed to make this team absolutely honking, well done :applause:.

I wasn't convinced by him but gave him my support as I would any new manager, unfortunately he's now beginning to look like a very average, dare I say it poor manager, a winner as a player but not so much as a manager, forget Celtic as a monkey could win with them.

I'm not taking this we've lost our best midfield crap, he recruited poor replacements who resembled nothing like the players we lost, they were not like for like but absolutely different but he's still trying to play the same way with different players, that cannot happen.

His time is very limited now.
