Gray, Stevenson, Hanlon & McGregor

[The Harp Awakes]

These 4 guys along with a top class goalkeeper have been absolutely outstanding in recent months.

I wonder how much longer they will play together for Hibs as a defensive unit? On current form we should be looking to keep them together for at least another season.

Great servants to the club:not worth

[PatHead]

Definitely. They have the jerseys it is up to someone else to take their chance in the event of injury.

[AgentDaleCooper]

I love how they all bleed green. Incredible backline.

[The Spaceman]

Hanlon still looks quite off the pace relative to last season - is he carrying an injury? Top class on his day.

Thought he had a very good game yesterday

He had a decent game but almost cost us a couple of goals again due to crap play, marciano saved his blushes

[DarlingtonHibee]

Decent game, but crap play?

Must be perfect being a professional football coach, as you obviously are

I didnt say I was, he had a couple of dodgy moments but overall had a decent game, not really hard to understand was it?

Why do you get so defensive when someone has an opinion?

"You aren't a football coach so what do you know?"
"What do you know about running a club?"

You do know people can have an opinion on things without being former footballers or board members. I'm assuming you played at the highest level and have been involved in running a football club?

[DarlingtonHibee]

No I haven't.

Remember the last Edinburgh Derby paul was superb.

He's in his testimonial year and is a true hibs man.

[Hiber-nation]

Great to see them all improve so much over the past few months now that we have proper coaches.

Well, that's 2 of them sorted now :greengrin

[Brightside]

I wish we had a team full of players having as many poor performances as Paul Hanlon. 😂

I think we probably have right now.

[Mibbes Aye]

Hanlon made some outstanding challenges and interceptions yesterday.

What never fails to amuse me is the reaction when things didn’t work out. It’s always a case of, oh is he carrying a knock or is his head in the right place?

The reality is we were playing against the best team in the country and as a team, they will force errors and mistakes on our part. And they will do that more frequently than any other team in the land, regardless of how good or on form we are.

I think Heckingbottom called it right in his comments yesterday. We have benefitted from a settled back four but it has been necessity rather than choice as there hasn’t really been anyone else!

Nevertheless, the guys know each others’ games inside out, and some of the passing amongst them, short and long-range was very pleasing on the eye.

[ancient hibee]

I was pleased to see that when Hanlon made a bad mistake to let Celtic in he immediately whipped the pins from the guy.It’s the kind of ruthlessness that we have needed.

Probably till the end of the season then Porteous will replace McGregor most weeks I think
