Following last week's debacle I've decided to take back control and start the match day thread this week having seen us beat St Mirren with my last attempt.
Fine day for football, bit breezy but dry and mild. Hopefully we can put last week behind us and get a win first and foremost. If we can do it with a wee bit style then all the better.

Like the look of that team. Pace on wings, slivka and Vela will work hard on midfield. Great to see Lewy back.

That looks a decent team. Should be plenty pace out wide and Slivka and Vela should let Allan play a bit. I assume Mallan is injured? Is Mackie just dropped or does his suspension apply to the cup?

Can’t believe he continues with 1 upfront!!
Allen isn’t a 2nd Striker, he’s an attacking midfielder.
All very well having wingers but there’s no one to get on the end of the balls.
Absolutely need 2 upfront, get a striking partnership going - Kamber and Doidge.

Wait until some people realise they've got better things to do with their time and money than accept this cr*p every week. Today I've heard not only the turnstiles don't work, but food is as bad as ever, and Hibs TV down again too. If this wasn't a football club then certain employees would be getting their ***** kicked, not at Hibs though - easier to blame the fans.

Single file manual scanning at the emergency exits currently... I’d get here sooner rather than later if I were you.
I went to a turnstile and scanned with my phone, it appears to have accepted it, but got no on screen notification, so only find out it had been scanned when I went to the turnstile next door and got a message saying it had been used already.
Having used my phone, I realised how awkward the slot is and given that the size of phones is steadily increasing, I could see some upcoming models not fitting at all in the near future

Sticking their head in the sand and pretending there are no issues with scanners, food, Hibs TV, ticketing and indeed even blaming supporters for turning up late (as was said to me by a club official at 2:50 against St Mirren) is treating us with contempt.
Let's see if the club stick their head above the parapet this week and mention any of these issues, or will they revert to type and do nothing - whilst continuing to ask us for yet more money.

Admitting their mistakes and addressing the issues mentioned wouldn't be treating us with contempt.
Sticking their head in the sand and pretending there are no issues with scanners, food, Hibs TV, ticketing and indeed even blaming supporters for turning up late (as was said to me by a club official at 2:50 against St Mirren) is treating us with contempt.
Let's see if the club stick their head above the parapet this week and mention any of these issues, or will they revert to type and do nothing - whilst continuing to ask us for yet more money.

Stevenson has gotta take a fair amount of the blame but he's nowhere near match sharp and looks a little off the pace. He's only right in cause Mackie isn't good enough.
People bang on about Slivka needing a chance and yet again he's barely touched the ball. Vela has been good as has Allan. Grey and Horgan are also linking up well on the wing and Middleton has a touch of class about him.
Midfield need to make more effort in closing down and minimise the amount of space available in front of the defence. Defence need to defend.

All we had to do was manage the game, get to HT and regroup as the 1st goal saw us lose our way a bit. Instead we launched a goal kick long, lost possession and a few passes later it was 2-2.
It's just basics and if the mood has turned amongst the fans then that's on the players. They have to be better.

17-08-2019, 02:53 PM
That was excellent for 35-40 minutes.
They aren't pish - as was mentioned before the game they are strong going forward and ropey at the back. If we don't get our own act together defensively they're capable of punishing us.
We need a bit of patience and we should be fine. I have confidence in this team even if I have little confidence in this squad. There is f all on the bench to improve and change this so we really need to get behind the team that's out there.
The crowd and atmosphere could make this a decent win or an embarrassing defeat depending on how much we let our anxiety transmit to the players. Some dreadful shouts around me as the players went off at HT, not that there's even that many folk around me.

We were in control at 2-0 then ‘turns like the titanic’ Jackson let his man in front for 2-1. Second goal was catastrophic even for Hibs. Gray not fit and making mistakes. Big 45 ahead for Honkingbottom.
On a plus note good 45 from Middleton including an assist. Allan, Slivka and Kamberi also played well. Crowd poor, lucky if 5k here.
