St Mirren Vs Hibs

[Callum_62]

Right - forget all the shenanigans- its game day

Huge game for us today given the past few days of drama

Be very interesting to see the line up and how, if at all, grant murray/eddie may change it

We simply need 3 points

Any early team news?

Will be interesting to see if they go with a Lennon type line up or have their own view on how we should line up

He only played on Friday aswell. Not that it means it’s not possible but with a flight across the world thrown in there in the middle id doubt he’ll be in the squad.

Depends. If the players were sick of Lennon then morale may have hugely increased. Likewise all the uncertainty could have them wondering wtf is going on.

If Kamberi plays, I hope for his sake he puts in a performance. With Gauld in, there should be a better service to the strikers.

If Kamberi continues with his lacksadaisical attitude, his days could be numbered. He doesn't have the excuse of verbal abuse from Lennon to fall back on anymore.

[franck sauzee]

Anyone got a clue what positions/formation we are playing? 4-5-1 Whittaker left back. 3-6-1 with Bartley and Whittaker holding. I give up!

[Greencore]

Why is NL getting the blame for the lineup when he isn’t even in charge?

Anyway, is everyone in agreement that if we play with a freedom and expression its because Lennon is gone

And if we are poor again its because this was the team Lennon picked last week?

I think they have gone for experience and familiarity at the back 4 to be honest not saying I agree as if play Mackie at left back but Regardless that back 4 has plenty experience

Yes he was Scotland left back for a good few years. Perhaps the management want to go for experience to steady the ship? How about we see how the game goes before riding Whittaker dry? I don’t think it’s the time to rip induvidal players or selections when we are effectively managerrless and it’s a massive massive match if we have any hope to make top six.

Asked? Impression I get is it wasn't so much "asked"...

All I've heard is:

"Not working hard enough"
"Not playing good enough"
"Need to do more"

That's publicly as well. Leeann is now rumoured to have heard what was said and taken action without it being reported to her. That suggests what was said was bad and not "asking" for better performances.

[leither17]

Lennon has went over the score but Kamberi doesn’t come out of this smelling of roses either

[Smartie]

I didn't have much of an issue with what the pundits had to say tbh.

If Lennon had picked that team I'd probably have been moaning away. I also hate talk of "our most experienced team'. Bollocks to that, you pick your best team, and at the moment it doesn't have Whittaker in it let alone Mallan.

We are very short of options though, so I'd have sympathy for anyone picking that team.

And re playing McGregor up front - I'd genuinely back that decision. We're short of punch up front and what Kamberi needs more than a bollocking, a chair thrown at him, a lesbian show from Whittaker and Lennon or an arm round him is somebody up front with him to share the burden. I actually think he'd play well with a big, ugly target man so if someone decided that today we were going to go direct, lump it up at McGregor and have Kamberi buzzing about next to him then I'd have supported that.

Interesting day for Mallan. I reckon we'll be overpowered in midfield again by a team fighting for their lives.

Delighted to see Gray back though. That is the single one change that we've needed to make the most.

"Whether players play good or bad, they always try their best" or something to that affect. Not heard that from Lennon in a while.

Words are cheap as well. Interviews mean nothing at the end of the day. If we win 5-0 today will we be questioning the ambition in May's interview?

May is clearly very nervous when a camera is pointed at him also, so I'd not read much into his interview.

"pull you aside" - Lennon hasn't done that. My manager doesn't do an interview or promote my lack of performance to the entire business or to my colleagues. "tell you that you can do better" has two sides - it can either be "heads up Flo, things haven't been great. Keep working hard and it'll turn around. We need your quality" or it can be "you are a waste of a shirt, you cannot control the ball, you cannot shield a ball, what an utter waste you are".

And if your manager constantly tells you your not good enough, let’s everyone else in the team know your not good enough, blames the entire teams poor performance on you and tells anyone who listens they are desperate for someone to replace them then pretty soon your going to dread going to work and wonder what the point is of putting any effort in on the first place.

Had Lennon taken him aside, put an arm around his shoulder and said “we know how good you are and I believe in you try doing this and see if it works” we wouldn’t be here.

Just because they are footballers doesn’t mean they should expect to be treated like that just like we would hate to be treated like that in our jobs

Aye bleeding first 15 minutes, we can barely string 2 passes together. No reaction from the players so far at all.

That can't be right, we've been told Lennon was the problem...

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Horgan has to do better there.

[cabbageandribs1875]

It was ‘lack of service’ that made him do that.


:greengrin


Is he looking interested today at least?


Mmm he's 'busier' :)

[Hibs4185]

As soon as I seen Kamberi upfront on his own I had the fear factor. It just doesn’t work. Some people don’t rate shaw but I think 2 upfront gives us some positivity at least.

[California-Hibs]

Hes a league of Ireland standard player.

[cabbageandribs1875]

SDG header just over

[SaulGoodman]

That can't be right, we've been told Lennon was the problem...

Lennons only been away 2 days. Do you expect massive change?

[Liam89]

This is some boring boring football.

Well, busier is a start.

[DH1875]

SDG header just over

Should have scored.

[DaveF]

Horgan has a touch like me and I didn't make it any further than the Jack Kane pitches.

Great pass from Gauld though.

[easty]

Hes a league of Ireland standard player.

Who?

[Lago]

Distinct lack of skill on show, poor advert, all hoof, rush, misplaced passes.

[Since90+2]

Slivka really is horrendous.

[One Day Soon]

Lennons only been away 2 days. Do you expect massive change?


I don't, but the sages who have been posting incontinently against Lennon in recent weeks did. They were telling us that he was the problem and any idiot could pick better formations with players in the right positions.

[heretoday]

Lots of clumsy challenges in this game.

[Since90+2]

Lennons only been away 2 days. Do you expect massive change?

Exactly. Lennons been gone one full day.

[Ajo]

Need to get Gauld on the ball more, he’s the only one creating anything at the minute.

[Moulin Yarns]

Just strung 4 passes together, pity they were all around our own penalty box.

[Stuart93]

Horgans got a touch like an elephant

[Ozyhibby]

Need to stop fouling in the middle of the park. Midfield still a problem.

Give the ball to Gauld

[Since90+2]

I don't, but the sages who have been posting incontinently against Lennon in recent weeks did. They were telling us that he was the problem and any idiot could pick better formations with players in the right positions.

It's also Lennon's team and signings.

[SMAXXA]

We don’t try play football as much as results were indifferent I enjoyed watching Stubbs teams. Feels a bit like the game in midweek this foul foul foul every 2mins

[GreenCastle]

Good to have Bartley actually making us tougher in middle.

Issue is those around him need to pick it up and get on ball.

Horgan and Slivka does anyone actually know their best position?

Our lack of speed outwide is still an issue.

[Ozyhibby]

He’s gone now though. You need to get over it.

[Coco Bryce]

Flo ain't gonna see much of the ball today.

[Speedway]

Byline-cutback-goal.

[Ajo]

Embarrassing.

[sambajustice]

Is there any grass on this pitch? 5 yard passes are bobbling everywhere!

The camera angle is crap
the sun is crap
Hibs strip is crap
the stadium is crap
the wind is crap
The ball being in the air all the time is crap
the constant fouls are crap
Both teams playing crap.
Slivka is playing really crap just now



Goal for St Mirren - CRAP!

[leither17]

We are going to get relegated

[SteveHFC]

We are going to get relegated

Behave

[we are hibs]

Mallan doing his usual of giving up as soon as someone goes past him. Pathetic.

[Callum_62]

Players seem as motivated as Eddie May pre match

Bartley is not making us tougher, he is just fouling constantly. Don’t need to be tough to do that.

Aw ffs.

[Stuart93]

Our defence is ****ing horrendous

[cleanyman]

Sigh.

I've been saying it all season but I'm running out of words which is probably a good thing.

These players are trash.

[K.Marx]

Hoof to kamberi straight after the restart. This is going to be a long afternoon

[Hibernian Verse]

Remember that goal is Kamberis fault

There must be someone in the Hibs set up that’s better than Mcgregor , anyone,

[One Day Soon]

It's also Lennon's team and signings.

Yup, but we were being told a big part of the problem was playing the wrong players in the wrong positions in the wrong formations. So changing that should be an instant improvement. Not happening.

[The Modfather]

That can't be right, we've been told Lennon was the problem...

“Injuries”

[SlickShoes]

Hanlon and Mcgregor have both been abysmal since coming back from injury.

[Ajo]

Why do we keep persisting in hoofing the ball up, it’s clear to see it doesn’t work with Flo up top by himself

[cabbageandribs1875]

simeone's first home goal this season, st.mirren not won a game for 8 years...the script was written

[Speedway]

You were in the minority on .net then.

[RossScott1991]

We are simply gash. No mistake about it. No faith we can score 2 goals

[skyehibee]

Awful tactics. Why is Bartley playing? We need 2 up top and we need to get the ball on the deck.

[One Day Soon]

FFS. Ah well, its all about rebuilding for next season now anyway.

[Ozyhibby]

Geriatric defence ripped there.

[J-C]

No energy at all in this team, where's the fight and passion

[hibee_girl]

Gray booked

[Springbank]

Stevie Mallan gets relegated with every club he plays for

not nearly giving enough

[JimboHibs]

Our defence is ****ing horrendous

One of the biggest myths at Hibs is that Paul Hanlon is a good centre half.

[ac1]

Sleepwalking into another relegation

[Coco Bryce]

Mallan doing his usual of giving up as soon as someone goes past him. Pathetic.

Mallan is pish. Lennon should be throwing chairs at him. Complete waste of space

[nellio]

I can't understand why Slivka is played out wide. He's just not effective. He's a central midfielder.

[DH1875]

Never a booking.

[Stuart93]

We’re pish

[H18 SFR]

FFS. Ah well, its all about rebuilding for next season now anyway.

Sadly, I agree with this 100%

[TheHarpy76]

We are going to get relegated

Aye, ok drama queen 👍🏻

[Beefster]

Remember those days when McGregor, Gray and Hanlon wer decent? Good times.

[ArmadaleHibs]

It’s as poor a form as I’ve seen since the relegation year.

[Lago]

Yip, no wonder Lennon lost the plot.

[DaveF]

Yup, but we were being told a big part of the problem was playing the wrong players in the wrong positions in the wrong formations. So changing that should be an instant improvement. Not happening.

You used to be a reasonably decent poster but right now you are one major league bore. You know fine well things won't change overnight yet you insist on stirring things up.

He's gone. Grieve and move on and hope that the team get's some much needed confidence back.

[SMAXXA]

You were in the minority on .net then.

Do you think we played better and had more organisation and shape about us albeit sometimes easily opened up?

[BroxburnHibee]

That team reads like a GIRUY to Leeann.

[Colin191078]

[QUOTE=leither17;56822
Whittaker, Hanlon, Mcgregor, Slivka, Bartley, Mallan, Horgan, Kamberi all ****in rotten

[Ozyhibby]

I can't understand why Slivka is played out wide. He's just not effective. He's a central midfielder.

He shouldn’t be playing at all, he’s not good enough. The midfield is stinking.

I would much rather play 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 and at least get beat giving it a go rather than this soul destroying 451 negativity

[NC1875]

One of the biggest myths at Hibs is that Paul Hanlon is a good centre half.

Said it myself a while back on here and got slated for it. Bang average and that’s our problem. Too many bang average players!

[CMac1988]

As is Mallan. Slivka anonymous as per. Midfield are second to everything and when they do get the ball look to pass back which results in hoofing it up from the defence. Gauld trying to move forward but isn't seeing much of the ball.

[Ajo]

I can't understand why Slivka is played out wide. He's just not effective. He's a central midfielder.

Agreed, so much better in the middle of the pitch.

[leither17]

Aye, ok drama queen 👍🏻

There needs to be dramatic change and soon, we never thought we would go down last time either

[Moulin Yarns]

St mirren closing us down quickly means that we give the ball away. Our players want too much time on the ball

[Dr_Regal]

One Ryan Gauld pass aside, it’s an absolute horror show out there.

[One Day Soon]

He’s gone now though. You need to get over it.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk


Well over it. Gagging to get a new manager in now. Paging Mr Stubbs for me...

Some of the ludicrous stuff that has been talked on here about why we are where we are and how we fix it is still very much a live debate though.

[ManlyOz]

Not seen Gauld yet, hard to see in the sun, is that him beside the police car??

[Diclonius]

St Mirren fans are the biggest ****ing moaners in Scottish football.

[Since90+2]

Yup, but we were being told a big part of the problem was playing the wrong players in the wrong positions in the wrong formations. So changing that should be an instant improvement. Not happening.

What are you on about? It's pretty much the exact same team and formation that Lennon would have played. The squad that Lennon built is clearly not good enough and he has to be held accountable for that.

[we are hibs]

How the ****s that not a back pass. Absolute moron of a referee

[Aldo]

If we continue to play like this all the opposition need to do is score and sit in.

Massive 60 mins ahead.

Whoever's idea to start Whittaker over Mackie at Left Back needs to go back to primary school to learn about basic decisions.

Well SDG couldn't get in the team and he is comfortable our best player.

[Tyler Durden]

I can't understand why Slivka is played out wide. He's just not effective. He's a central midfielder.

He’s not playing wide today so let’s see him go an impose himself on the game
