Motherwell v Hibs

[MrSmith]

Relegation form in my honest opinion.

[One Day Soon]

Who is the one Hibs player on the park looking like they're not happy and demanding that everyone steps up?

[cabbageandribs1875]

deserved yellow for scotty

[Coco Bryce]

Honestly Allan is the only player that stands out anymore

And Kamberi when he actually gets some support.

[Off the bar]

Allan booked

[SlickShoes]

Mallan = poor, Marciano = poor, Hanlon = poor, Whittaker = poor, Horgan = poor, Middleton = ineffective, Stevenson = still doesn't look his usual self.

Everyone else has been OK

[green day]

If we fire Hecky, do we have to get rid of George Craig as well for bringing him in?

[wookie70]

Allan booked, not a clever challenge

[JohnM1875]

Better team losing

Definitely agree.

[Mr_F]

Allan booked, not a clever challenge

He’s had enough

[neil7908]

deserved yellow for scotty

Shocking challenge. Might even have been a red.

[Fife-Hibee]

Better team losing

St Mirren?

[madhatter]

How easy can Motherwell get right through the centre? This is Fenlon, Butcher, Calderwoodesque stuff.

[makaveli1875]

Relegation form in my honest opinion.

Is it too early to fire up the Hecky must go thread :greengrin

[hfcok]

Crying out for another striker to help Flo, Mallan off Doidge, or Shaw on ??

[HappyAsHellas]

Who's covering in front of Whittaker, or is he being hung out to dry? I know he's not fast but he can and still does a job for us.

[cabbageandribs1875]

HT 1-0 still in it

[wookie70]

He’s had enough Of what. He has had quite a bit of the ball and looked very good while on it.

[Nicho87]

What position is Allan playing

[Stuart93]

Have to get something out this game. PH under immense pressure if we get beat

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Hibs are playing better than last week. Two things still remain.

They are getting far too many crosses in.

Second balls in midfield are only picked up by Motherwell players.

We may score but Motherwell will win this game.

[Squirrel 1875]

Starting to look like it. We almost need a full new team.

[ThatDayInMay]

Players player of the year. I’ll trust the professionals.

I take it you don’t go to the games then 😂

4 defenders and a goalkeeper would be a nice addition. :rolleyes:

You’re going to be in trouble when your criticism of Hanlon is spotted. He never fails to play better than every other defender apparently.

[Ozyhibby]

I can’t believe there are fans on this website who think we are playing good today. Unbelievable.

[MWHIBBIES]

Horgan leaving him our to dry, at least for the goal. If the winger is one on one Vs the full back you've already made a mistake.


Mallan piss poor so far, has to be off for Vela and we might get something from this.

[gaz1875]

What position is Allan playing

Left Midfield, playing okay not great but looking to create.

[neil7908]

We've been the better team without creating much.

Our defence and midfield are lightweight. Well are running through us every chance they get.

Also looks like Well are doing a better job of the high press than we are. Every time Rocky gets the ball he's going to long as we have no free defenders to play it short.

[PH91]

Hecky is going to lose his job with his insistence to play mallan in a holding role. He has been the worse player on the park by a mile, terrible on and off the ball.

Get mallan and slivka off now. Vela and hallberg on.

Motherwell are playing an open game. If we can get players in the middle who can take the ball and turn them we can get at them.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Woeful stuff. Bottom 6 a nap unless we punt this clown in charge soon.

[Crab apple]

When are we going to see any of the manager’s five ‘improvement in quality’ signings coming on.

[hibeerealist]

It's easy to slate Hecky because we seem to playing ok but with no purpose. The Hibs players seem to be tentative in their play.

That will be the anxiousness in the stands affecting the players SH.

[One Day Soon]

Only St Johnstone have a worse goal ratio than us at the moment. That says quite a lot about the state of our defence and the protection from midifeld in front of it.

[bingo70]

I’ve seen us play worse than that 45 minutes but in all honesty it’s really not great.

Couple of half chances here or there but rarely get in behind them.

[jeffers]

Horgan leaving him our to dry, at least for the goal. If the winger is one on one Vs the full back you've already made a mistake.


Mallan piss poor so far, has to be off for Vela and we might get something from this.

Agree or try Hallberg.

[Scooter]

I thought we didnt play that badly TBH. Whittaker needs help. But we've been ok

[Peevemor]

I can’t believe there are fans on this website who think we are playing good today. Unbelievable.We were playing OK until they scored. There has also been flashes of decent play since (as well as a fair bit of dross).

[madhatter]

I'm glad club have plans outside football because we cant play football anymore...

[Beefster]

Have to get something out this game. PH under immense pressure if we get beat

Dempster seemingly backed Heckingbottom pretty fully yesterday. Unless Ron Gordon gets fed up of it before then, he won’t be under any real pressure until our form translates into bottom six.

[Fife-Hibee]

I can’t believe there are fans on this website who think we are playing good today. Unbelievable.

They're not watching it. That can be the only plausible explanation. Motherwell could easily be a few up. Their strikers are laughing at that "defence". :brickwall

[bingo70]

I can’t believe there are fans on this website who think we are playing good today. Unbelievable.

We’re definitely not playing good.

Maybe not as bad as we have been in other games recently but we’re certainly not playing well.

[gaz1875]

Horgan leaving him our to dry, at least for the goal. If the winger is one on one Vs the full back you've already made a mistake.


Mallan piss poor so far, has to be off for Vela and we might get something from this.

Rocky didn't look to good either, ball went underneath is arm.

[Godsahibby]

Looking decent enough going forward but we are so bad at the back.

I thought Slivka has been decent. Agree about Mallan though, he is not a holding midfielder.

[makaveli1875]

Dempster seemingly backed Heckingbottom pretty fully yesterday. Unless Ron Gordon gets fed up of it before then, he won’t be under any real pressure until our form translates into bottom six.

As it stands we are 9th . 2 points off bottom

[FilipinoHibs]

Whittakerwas about the only one winning challenges and accurately finding a man against St Johnstone. That was widely agreed he done well. His lack of pace is a big issue but he can do a job.

Problem everybody going past him. Creating lots of chances. Where the goal came from. Jackson sometimes playing two roles - his own and covering for Whitaker.

[MikeyS]

4 defenders and a goalkeeper would be a nice addition. :rolleyes:

Correct! Hopefully the new manager can release them all bar Porteous in January and start a fresh. We've went stale and are showing to much loyalty in cup winners from 3 seasons ago.

[thebausburst]

1 up front is rubbish, very negative and powderpuff, not getting McNulty in the window now coming back to haunt us too much responsibility now on 1 man to score!

[One Day Soon]

Dempster seemingly backed Heckingbottom pretty fully yesterday. Unless Ron Gordon gets fed up of it before then, he won’t be under any real pressure until our form translates into bottom six.

If this keeps up he'll be gone after the Aberdeen game on the 5th October regardless of what Leeann is saying.

[Stuart93]

Dempster seemingly backed Heckingbottom pretty fully yesterday. Unless Ron Gordon gets fed up of it before then, he won’t be under any real pressure until our form translates into bottom six.

Our form already is bottom 6 stuff

We’re almost accepting bottom six of things continue this way because it doesn’t look like hecky’s turning this round.

We haven’t had that hard a start to the season really apart from Ibrox.

[Chorley Hibee]

Sat in Fir Park wondering how we've regressed from a club on the up to this shambles yet again.

Same old Hibs.

[Big_Franck]

We have a goalie out of form, defenders who are shipping goals and getting ripped by pace, a midfield that’s lightweight and an upfront that is solely reliant on kamberi getting goals. Not a good mix.

I've been trying to remain positive about this season so far, but I agree with every part of that.

We're not going to get it now but we need a right back, a defensive mid, pace out wide and another forward.

[gaz1875]

Hecky is going to lose his job with his insistence to play mallan in a holding role. He has been the worse player on the park by a mile, terrible on and off the ball.

Get mallan and slivka off now. Vela and hallberg on.

Motherwell are playing an open game. If we can get players in the middle who can take the ball and turn them we can get at them.

I said earlier plenty space in midfield for a runner, Mallan is not that, Slivka has tried. Mallan off anyone on he's a waste of a jersey.

[erin go bragh]

I’ve seen us play worse than that 45 minutes but in all honesty it’s really not great.

Couple of half chances here or there but rarely get in behind them.
Some nice play put Kamberi in but after turning the defender , he hit it straight away ,when he could have moved it to the middle of the goal ,then hit it .

[Beefster]

As it stands we are 9th . 2 points off bottom

I get that but, at this stage of the season, clubs can rocket up or down with a couple of wins or losses. The club will cling to that whilst they stick their fingers in their ears, hum loudly and hope it all just magically gets better.

[GreenCastle]

1 up front is rubbish, very negative and powderpuff, not getting McNulty in the window now coming back to haunt us too much responsibility now on 1 man to score!

We are missing Omeonga more - energy and makes tackles.

McNulty / Milligan and Omeonga did help get us top 6 though last year though. Before that we were rubbish. All now left.

[Currie Hibee]

Watched the first half and Hibs have been really poor again. Left winger has Whittaker on toast every time yet the manager doesn’t tweak the formation.

[FilipinoHibs]

According to BBC we have more procession and shots on target.

[Hibee Mac]

How badly does Mallan need to play before he gets dropped? Hopeless yet again, an absolute imposter.

[Juice-Terry]

As someone suggested: Get Vela and Hallberg on for Mallan and Slivka.

[green day]

If this keeps up he'll be gone after the Aberdeen game on the 5th October regardless of what Leeann is saying.

imo - 23rd September after a pumping by Hearts at Easter Road and open revolt in the stands (obvs I hope that doesnt happen, but as things stand we are screwed).

[Stuart93]

Sat in Fir Park wondering how we've regressed from a club on the up to this shambles yet again.

Same old Hibs.

Aye you’re not wrong. Regressed a lot from the second half of 2017/2018 season.

Pish

[660]

Yahooo! When’s the bus parade.

[PaulSmith]

We were playing OK until they scored. There has also been flashes of decent play since (as well as a fair bit of dross).

They scored after 23 mins.

Its like watching kids play, aimless “passes” into space and Middleton is an absolute imposter.

Its no where near good enough. We’ll be looking for a new manager come October 1st.

[Alex Trager]

Dempster seemingly backed Heckingbottom pretty fully yesterday. Unless Ron Gordon gets fed up of it before then, he won’t be under any real pressure until our form translates into bottom six.

It is bottom six

[Col2]

Thought before they scored we were passing the ball around well and few nice flicks without any real danger.

They scored and we have been second best. They are not world beaters but this has 2-0 written all over it.

Mallan. He just needs to be dropped. He contributes nothing, zilch.

Whittaker is not a defender but gets zero support from Horgan who just hides on the wing.

We look so poor in defense, have no physical presence in midfield and both Allan and Middleton are very quiet leaving Flo isolated.

[Bright_Hibee]

Watching on Hibs TV and we are not doing too bad. In saying that, the tactics aren't up to much and certain players, like Mallan, are just passengers.

[thebausburst]

Sat in Fir Park wondering how we've regressed from a club on the up to this shambles yet again.

Same old Hibs.

A look at the Championship team/squad vs this 2019 SPL version shows how far we’ve regressed

[Ozyhibby]

Sat in Fir Park wondering how we've regressed from a club on the up to this shambles yet again.

Same old Hibs.

Because our signings are dreadful and the manager is poor.
And we still have Whittaker playing right back after all this time. We deserve what we get.

Whittaker is having a mare. What's rocky doing? And up front we are very poor.

Easy answer, Leeann indicated in her interview... Club are looking at things outside of football to further the club. Very very stupid move. Very arrogant as well because it suggests they thought the football department was more than good enough with no proof of that. Now we are likely to lose 2-3k from our attendances and have fans booing most weeks.

Club must have some exceptional plans to cover that loss. We're forgetting we are a football club, sad but true.

[One Day Soon]

Not with the fans in this mood. I'd bet quite a lot on a Ron interventionafter if not before Aberdeen if this continues. By then this form would see us out of a cup, humped by Celtic at home and losing a derby at home. He's not surviving that. He needs to somehow magically turn this around very fast or he's toast.

[Ozyhibby]

Maybe we will bring on Joe Newall to turn it all around?[emoji106]

Tbh he's already gone, the writing is on the wall.

[GreenCastle]

Thing is Mallan was player of season last year playing as a 10 for most of it.

Goals and assists. We all know he can’t run / tackle but for some reason he wants him deep to get on ball and spray passes. This isn’t happening and he doesn’t make tackles.

We need legs for Allan to be the luxury player or find a way to play both together but not sure if they can be in same side.

We still don’t have a DM and wonder why our back 4 is exposed every week.

I’m just amazed we don’t have any half decent youngsters.

[makaveli1875]

Big 45 minutes coming up for Hecky .

[hibbie02]

It looks like none of Heck’s new improved players are improving anything. Yes we needed some fresh blood in but from the moment we paid money for Doidge it was clear his judgment was crap. Most can’t get a game and we are reliant on our old guard.

We have no budget to solve the problem and practically no time even if we had funds. Can’t see a future for Hecky and a horrible season ahead with embarrassing results.

Surely no one will be surprised if we play poorly and lose today? It would be a bigger shock if we put in a half decent performance.

Still another 10 games and we might have gelled by then.

[Eaststand]

Mallan is utter *****.

Apart from him taking any free kicks we may get around the opposition box he offers nowt.

Its pretty obvious we need much more bite in our midfield, so surely we can't afford to carry this passenger in our team any longer.

Lennon used to play him deep as well, he has very rarely played as a number 10 for Hibs!

It's nothing to do with his position he's just a hopeless player who has finally been caught out by the majority of our support, the only thing that distracted people from the fact he's crap were his early goals against lower league opposition.

I dont think hes even scored a freekick since around killie in september last year so hes not even offering a threat there. Hes a nothing player.

If we haven't already blown our transfer budget I'll be astonished. That being the case there is only one answer to all this and that is Stubbs.

Not being funny, but almost anyone managing in any of the top 2 divisions would be able to put a team in the right positions, it doesnt actually need to be Stubbs.

[Crab apple]

The manager chose to release our only two CDMs. One replacement benched and with a lot to prove. The other signed with four league games already gone. No wonder our midfield is overrun.

Well have missed some chances, thankfully.

[Squirrel 1875]

This is beyond a joke. Relegation material.

[we are hibs]

Apart from winning the cup with us he has a much inferior league managerial record than Hecky.

He has a better record in scotland. He also wouldnt ***** it vs celtic and rangers and we would have a identity and way of playing which we currently severely lack.

Sentiment has nothing to do with it. If you're judging him on his 5p and six anglo bubblies transfer budget at St Mirren I'm very glad you'll have no say in replacing the current post holder.

Middleton off for Shaw

[Coco Bryce]

Come on Hibs!

[One Day Soon]

I think sentiment has everything to do with it.

And I’m very glad you’ll have no say either


You're wrong. I'm not in the slightest sentimental about him. In fact I have slated his Championship performance as manager repeatedly on here.

[Hibees1973]

With the dross we have signed all on 2-3 year contracts, Allan apart, it is going to take at least 2 transfer windows to sort this mess out.

Need to shift out some of the clowns in our so called recruitment team and by the looks of this so far, Heckingbottom as well.

Agree with the earlier post that not showing the necessary ambition, with Gordon’s money, buy not securing McNulty & Omeonga is at the root of our recruitment debacle. £350k for Doidge....Christ.

[Beefster]

You want Hecky removed after less time in similar circumstances this season!

Heckingbottom’s been the coach for six and a half months.

[One Day Soon]

No I don't. I'm saying if he has to go then Stubbs is the answer. He may yet turn it round, unlikely though that seems.

[cabbageandribs1875]

scotty just wide with a shot, i thought the keeper got a touch to that...and so do the fans

[Stuart93]

It’s baffling you seem to be trying to split him into two separate managers, a championship one and a premier league one.

He should’ve got us promoted, simple as that. A good premier league manager would’ve managed that.

You’re just talking pish

[Coco Bryce]

Accies missing chance after chance against the yambos.

[Iain G]

Heckingbottom’s been the coach for six and a half months.

But only just rebuilt the team in the summer, similar to what Stubbs did at St Mirren

[wookie70]

Allan shoots just wide, definite corner, goal kick given. Its been all Hibs for the last 7 or 8 minutes

[Squirrel 1875]

That’ll be Newell humped!

[One Day Soon]

You seem easily baffled.

I agree he should have got us promoted. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good premier league manager. There are a lot of managers who are suited to specific roles or challenges - including different leagues.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i reckon that possibly could have been a home penalty, hibs player holding the guy back in the box

Forest ****in green must be pissing themselves with that one....they got £350k for him

[JohnM1875]

Wow! Can't believe he gave Whittaker the free kick there! Clear pen to them for me.

[Weegreenman]

Craigslist screaming for a penalty :rolleyes:

[Off the bar]

Ooft was sure Whitaker had given away a pen there

[skyhibs]

Whitty a liability

[jeffers]

Looked a stonewall penalty there

[One Day Soon]

It does currently look like that was quite the Del Boy Trotter bit of business on their part.

[gaz1875]

Should have been.

Yes, but there were mitigating circumstances for us not going up in either year which seem to be blatantly ignored every time this debate comes up. First year hearts ran away with it, a fluke season no one predicted. Rangers with a far bigger budget beat us in the play offs. 2nd season rangers much improved with a bigger budget than the year previous won it. We also reached 2 cup finals as a championship club which is unheard of and played 60 games that season. We ran out of steam and fell away and eventually lost in the play offs to a side on paper we should have beaten.



If he stayed for a third season we wouldve went up and went up in more style than we did.

[neil7908]

Penalty all day long.

On topic pls

[Fife-Hibee]

You know it's bad when ever the referee is taking pity on us.

[Off the bar]

Good run shaw cynical challenge right outside the box

[we are hibs]

Strange you pick up on my one post but not the other 5 or 6?

[Iain G]

Instead he buggered off at the first English team that flashed a smile in his direction instead of completing his job here. He has failed in both managerial jobs since leaving us and there is no evidence to say he would be a success here again.

[wookie70]

Free kick on the edge of box after good play by Shaw.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Looked a stonewall penalty there

Radio saying we got the foul for an earlier foul committed by the Motherwell guy. But mental hearings craigan shouting like a can for the penalty though.

[CapitalGreen]

Name another Scottish Premiership manager who is suited to this league but would not be suited to the Scottish Championship?

[Off the bar]

Mallan free kick ... played short to Horgan... ****

[Iain G]

Any sign of any further changes?

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

Today would be a great day for Shaw to turn his season round. C’mon Hibs.

[AZhibee]

Wtf Horgan?

[Off the bar]

Chance saved. Better from Hibs

[huggie1875]

accies level again

[Sudds_1]

This. He had his chance. Shiwed little if any liyalty to the fanbase. Seldom if ever works on a return.

[SHODAN]

I'm back on the stream just to see Mallan not take a free kick (?) and Jackson almost score.

[wookie70]

Jackson shoots straight at keeper after knock down

[Joe6-2]

Jumbos 2-2

[MacGruber]

No problem with Shaw coming on whatsoever.

However the striker the manager is actively trying to put out on loan is now favoured to the big money signing Doidge - says it all

[jeffers]

Couldn’t see it myself looked like he was just strong and got wrong side of Whittaker who then pulled him down.

[thegaffer12]

We're playing better and getting more chances. Come on Hibs.

[Hibernian Verse]

Kris Doolan equalised against Partick after being deemed not good enough despite being a club legend. He will have enjoyed that one.

mallan picks up his 250th booking

[Phil MaGlass]

jees Hamilton could go above us:confused:

[MWHIBBIES]

Shaw been excellent. Mallan stealing a living.

[JohnM1875]

Mallan is a wee rat. Customary booking.

Could have given the fee we paid for Doidge to get Omeonga back (his wages).

I’ve never know a manager to sign so many players and not use them.

[660]

Jesus

[yerauldda]

Now on earth have we only made one change?

[DoubleDangerous]

Why isn’t he making a change in the middle of the park?! He’s got nothing to lose!!!

[thebausburst]

Abuse towards Mallan on here is a joke

[Beefster]

No need for the ‘rat’ chat.

Please put on our new midfielder.

Yes it’s odd - plus Shaw being on the left isn’t his natural position so no wonder he wants to go on loan.

[Ozyhibby]

Not every signing is signed to play, some guys are just for filling out the squad. Or something like that, as I was told earlier this week on here.

I normally love their poor results but feels hollow at the moment :(

[staunchhibby]

Out of order calling a player a rat

[madhatter]

Heckys done.

[SHODAN]

It isn't Mallan's fault he keeps being selected when he's clearly underperforming in an unbalanced midfield.

[Sir David Gray]

Penalty Motherwell.

[makaveli1875]

penalty motherwell ffs

[Joe6-2]

Ffs

[Phil MaGlass]

penalty well

He’s a total waste of space. Complete passenger

[JohnM1875]

Get Hecky to ****.

A look at the teamsheet speaks volumes, effectively an admission that recruitment has not been good enough.

[madhatter]

Get the manager out now.

[JDT]

We're a poor team, let's not kid ourselves. We won't get relegated but I can't see us in the top 6 either. A poor season awaits me feels

[PaulSmith]

It’s delusional for anyone to think that Heckingbottom will turn this around.

Heckingbottom get tae fk

Totally agree. It was out of order and not usually like me. Just frustration getting the better of me.

[Cabbage East]

I liked him but that’s enough for me now. It’s not working. Bolt.
