Heckingbottom still needs to go

[DavidDavidGray]

I know, I know, we’re through to a semi final and I should be bouncing and looking forward to it. However I’m barely even excited because of the ramifications of today’s result. Another game where we should have been beaten, don’t think we had a shot on target all game. Can not let the lottery of a penalty shoot out keep him in a job any longer than he would have been had Kilmarnock actually been able to finish their chances tonight. Sorry for the negative thread, however really hope the board/fans don’t think that tonight should buy him more time as Hibs boss.

That said, bring on the Celtic 😎

[Liam89]

Spare the negativity for a minute eh.

[Bob1875]

Give it a rest ya cabbage , there’s a million threads on it

[madabouthibs]

Strangely enough, Hibs had the only shot on target.

1 shot on target in 90 minutes. Kilmarnock should have had us killed off in ET. Eye bleeding stuff once more. We didn't concede some how but once again tumbleweed in front of the opposition goal. Celtic will hammer us on Saturday and in the semi unless Hecky is removed.

[Zazu62]

All in good time. The board will probably be eyeing up a replacement behind close doors hoping they don’t screw another appointment up

Ffs, how about supporting the club.

Rubbish post.

[Swedish hibee]

Well he's not. For now. So on you go to twitter.

[DavidDavidGray]

Spare the negativity for a minute eh.

See if we’d played well and lost today, I’d be a lot more positive than having been rubbish and fluked a shootout win. Zero signs of improvement can not be covered up by a penalty shoot out. You got any faith we’re gonna go to Hampden and actually put up any sort of fight? It’s the danger of giving a manager who is clearly out of his depth more time because of a one off result where we haven’t even played remotely well.

[Coco Bryce]

Hibs never had one shot on target during extra time.

[Captain Trips]

Ffs, how about supporting the club.

Rubbish post.

The poster does not think PH is good for club so they are supporting the club and wanting what they think best.

[Pretty Boy]

You are probably right.

However one result isn't going to decide his future. People haven't reached the conclusion he has to go based on a single result, it's because of a run of poor results and performances over an extended period. If we kick on from tonight and go on a good run then surely everyone is happy. If we don't then he'll go regardless of what happened tonight.

Let's just enjoy this one. It's been a ***** couple of months with very little to cheer about so we may as well enjoy a good result when it comes along.

[DavidDavidGray]

The poster does not think PH is good for club so they are supporting the club and wanting what they think best.

Exactly. I want Hibs to do well, which is why I don’t think we can let this cover up how bad we were yet again. I want us to be able to feel we can go to this semi final and put up a fight and go into games with confidence. I have zero faith we will give Celtic a game under Heckingbottom. Glad to be in a semi final, just cannot let it paper over the cracks.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Thanks for getting us to a Semi, should pay for your pay-off, bye!

[Squirrel 1875]

I hope people aren’t thinking he should stay after that abysmal display. Absolutely turgid, eye-bleeding stuff. Killie should have put a few past us in extra time

[makaveli1875]

He's going nowhere.

[Captain Trips]

I'm happy we are in Semi excellent stuff so in order to have a chance in said match I fancy somebody else in dugout rather than the PH stand back in amazement tactics.

Celtic can be beaten but only by playing almost the opposite of how we have set up.

[Nicho87]

Watched it on a periscope. About fell asleep. Nice to be back at Hampden as always but don’t let this fool you. We are god awful. 1 shot in 120 minutes. We have went so far back to Fenlon times it’s sad. 13k season ticket holders will decline, one visit to Hampden and a royal pumping of Celtic won’t or shouldn’t save hecky from the sack.

[Dolce7]

Don’t be ridiculous and enjoy the result irrespective what happens from now until the semi final the club must stick by the manager and show him some loyalty

[Northernhibee]

If you tear into him when we lose, you have to give him credit when we get another trip to Hampden.

[Sir David Gray]

By all accounts the performance tonight was pretty dreadful and we have yet another match without a goal.

I'm glad we're in a semi final but tonight changes nothing for me. He has to go.

[Franck Stanton]

Wasn't there, open all mikes, sounded as if killie missed a barrow load of chances, especially from crosses into our box, rather than us playing well.Hecky still has to go

[DavidDavidGray]

If you tear into him when we lose, you have to give him credit when we get another trip to Hampden.

Nothing about that performance earned him any credit. Nothing. If we went out there and deserved a win tonight, he’d have credit.

[Captain Trips]

If you tear into him when we lose, you have to give him credit when we get another trip to Hampden.

Well true to a point but that for me be it harsh was a law of averages win, it wasn't by anything new to say OK PH has changed lots of things so excellent.

It was the same pish with the only difference from other weeks equal pish from other team and touch of luck.

[DickieDastardly]

Sorry still has to go for me, just not cutting the mustard in so many areas of the job.

Listened to sportsound tonight and sounded like we were poor again, in his post match interview on Saturday he sounded like he had run out of ideas.

[allezsauzee]

I hope people aren’t thinking he should stay after that abysmal display. Absolutely turgid, eye-bleeding stuff. Killie should have put a few past us in extra time


Ahh i too long for a return to open expansive football that ultimately results in us getting knocked out. This grinding out cup victories away from home in cup quarter finals leaves me feeling empty inside.

[The 90+2]

Definitely.

[hibee_girl]

Winning a cup game away from home 3 days after losing a derby at home is not to be sniffed at. A clean sheet for the first time since the opening day of the league season.

Both the players and the management deserve credit for that at least.

Seems like some have entrenched themselves. If we manage to pull something out of the bag in the next game it’ll not be good enough.

Mind you if we play well and get beat they’ll be happy.

Nothing changed tonight from the last few weeks so I can't say so much credit is due when I feel we played same as before except this time luck was on our side.

If we had played very differently then absolutely there would be hope but we won in spite of PH not because of.

[CB_NO3]

We actually had a game plan tonight and it paid off. It was not pretty but all the players worked hard tonight. Vela and Doidge got pass marks and put in a good shift tonight. If anything it's an extra 100k in the coffers.

[DavidDavidGray]

See if we play well and get something off of celtic at the weekend, I’ll give him credit. I was a massive fan of his up until Ibrox and it’s been such a drastic change since then. Isn’t an agenda, just an opinion

[Sir David Gray]

We won't manage to beat Celtic without playing well so if we beat them on Saturday with a much improved performance then I'll be the first to offer my congratulations.

I certainly won't be happy to play well and lose.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Papering over cracks. A potential new man in to take over in time for the semi finals hopefully.

Jeesus! I thought Brexit was confusing! 😁

[DavidDavidGray]

What if we don’t play well and win (like tonight)?

When it’s as bad as it was tonight then it doesn’t make a huge difference to me what the result is. They could’ve put a few past us and yet again we didn’t look anywhere near like a good team. If we’d snuck it in 90 minutes even then I’d be slightly more positive, but to have so little attacking threat for 2 hours straight of a game doesn’t earn him credit. No wins in 90 minutes since first game of the season, if performances improve then i’ll Be more positive. Don’t see that happening

[neil7908]

We really need to figure out how to get the right combination going forward.

I'd like to see Kamberi and Doidge together in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. Our lack of threat going forward makes it tough to watch us.

[I'm Spartacus]

Delighted to be in a semi, BUT live on national TV v Celtic on the big Hampden pitch? 75% of me wishes we weren't, the 25% will just enjoy the win tonight.

[1875-Hibernia]

Just enjoy that we’re in another semi final. Look forward to seeing you all there!

[Danderhall Hibs]

What if we play like tonight and lose?

Loads of folk will be able to say “see I told you he still needs to go”

[turn and burn]

Hecky at the wheel! Imagine he won us the cup with his tactical genius that we just didn’t see and understand at the time with a squad of gems he unearthed from league 2.

[jeffers]

OK we are through to the semi which is good news, but penalties are a lottery and don't always bear any relation to how the previous 120 minutes have gone.

What would the posters having a go at the ones who think nothing has changed and still want him out be saying if we'd lost the shootout ?

[we are hibs]

Loads of folk will be able to say “see I told you he still needs to go”

Do in your heart of hearts believe we will play well and get a result on saturday? You must realise how incredibely unlikely it is. Everyone wants us to show up and win and play great football but lets be honest. Its not happening.

I’m not even saying he should stay but after reading through here, Facebook and Twitter tonight I’m sick fed up of the number of fans who just want to spread negativity. We won tonight - it’s a good thing.

It’s unlikely. Unfortunately I’m a glass half full kind of guy that believes having a positive mindset helps.

I even fancied us to do something tonight. Sorry.

Fair enough it is, I don't think anyone is unhappy we are through tonight, but are concerned that the win will give him more time, when by all accounts we were as poor as we've been in most of the other games.

[RossScott1991]

We won, I’m happy. Will enjoy a good day out on the sauce in Glasgow. The game will likely be an inconvenience and the worst part of the day 😂 but it is what it is. Who knows we could have a new man by then.

[chrisski33]

Ffs, how about supporting the club.

Rubbish post.

Why he's not supporting the club? One win doesnt paper over the cracks. Like all fans he wants best for the club if that means heckingbottom isn't the man to be manager so be it.

[allezsauzee]

What year was that you’re talking about?

With Hibs there are just too many to choose from. How about we just enjoy a great result and maybe hope that it might be the result that sees us turn the corner rather than be desperate to be "proven right" that Hecky is a rubbish manager?

[Sir David Gray]

What if we don’t play well and win (like tonight)?

I would highly doubt that we'll win against Celtic without also playing well.

[hfc rd]

I’m just happy we won for a change. Definitely still Hecky out. Tonight’s win changes nothing on my stance regarding the manager.

Delighted with the win but Heckingbottom OUT

[Onion]

Well done Hibs. Great to have another trip to Hampden.

And the extra revenue from the semi will help with his pay off :aok:

[kaimendhibs]

Wasn't there, open all mikes, sounded as if killie missed a barrow load of chances, especially from crosses into our box, rather than us playing well.Hecky still has to goI was there. That truly isn't how I saw the game. Our defence played well and keeper had no notable saves apart from own. BUT, it's crap to watch and he needs to go

Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

[Hermit Crab]

Hibs never had one shot on target during extra time.


You have to cross the halfway line first!

[Hibeebor]

I know it's been a dismal season, and people are clutching at this one sliver of positivity, but I'm baffled at how many of you seem thrilled with a nil nil draw? Killie are hardly setting the world on fire this year and I'm as worried about us now as I have been for the past month or so.

I want Hibs as a club to get it right, obviously, but my gut tells me that won't happen with Heck in charge.

[LancsHibs]

If this had not been a cup game and finished at 90 minutes Heckingbottom would have quite rightly ripped to shreds on here last night for that uninspiring performance yet again. So pleased we won through on pens but does not change my mind on PH, in fact, more reinforces he’s not the man for the job.
I will judge him further on our display against Celtic at home on Saturday

[JimBHibees]

Winning a cup game away from home 3 days after losing a derby at home is not to be sniffed at. A clean sheet for the first time since the opening day of the league season.

Absolutely do. The spirit shown needs to continue over a period however the day I am not happy when Hibs win a penalty shootout to get to Hampden is the day hell freezes over. :flag:

Just enjoy that we’re in another semi final. Look forward to seeing you all there!

You'll see some of us. The ''wont be back'' mob wont be there.

[calumhibee1]

Be interesting to see if he’s still in charge if they all come back out for Hampden.

[Diclonius]

By all means an improvement on last week, but a 0-0 draw at Kilmarnock being an improvement is in itself an indictment of how far we've fallen. After two losses to Celtic and Aberdeen he should go and a new manager will have a semi final to look forward to.

[Coco Bryce]

They didn't miss a barrel load of chances. They put the ball in the box but I can't remember Brophy being close to getting on the end of a cross. They had a few wild shots from the edge of the box too. Maxwell didn't make a save till the pens

[Heisenberg]

No I’m desperate to see Hibs have a good football side on the park and not fart about at the bottom of the table. There was no corner turned last night, we got a bit of luck. I’ll change my opinion dramatically if we don’t get smashed on Saturday and get something up at Aberdeen.

[Coco Bryce]

Im guessing it was to get through to the semi final of the cup.

Yes, and we should use the money from it to pay of our current management team.

Hecky won’t see the Semi.

[Since452]

Can we lay off the manager and enjoy a positive result for a dew days?

[Gloucester Hibs]

If O'Donnell scores that easy back post header at the end we'd all raging at crashing out the cup with barely a whimper, barely landing a glove on Killie. Delighted to progress to the semis but he still has to go IMO. 4 points from the next 2 games and I may change my mind.. :wink:

It’s only 9 months or so since we were on the end of a hiding and were all hoping their floodlights wouldn’t come back on so it’s a fairly decent step forward.

[Squirrel 1875]

There was nothing improved about that performance. It was another ridiculously poor performance masked by a penalty shootout win. It has somehow got the happy clappers amongst us out in force claiming this as an incredible victory for Hibernian and an improvement. Unreal.

Hopefully the players can ignore the constant negativity surrounding the club.

There was a pretty substantial improvement defensively.

Was it grim viewing? Aye.

Do we still need to get rid of PH? Aye.

Has anybody haled it as an incredible victory? Naw.

But is it a good result? 100% aye.

And Killie were every bit as bad as us by the way.

[Not In The Know]

I know it's been a dismal season, and people are clutching at this one sliver of positivity, but I'm baffled at how many of you seem thrilled with a nil nil draw? Killie are hardly setting the world on fire this year and I'm as worried about us now as I have been for the past month or so.

I want Hibs as a club to get it right, obviously, but my gut tells me that won't happen with Heck in charge.

Exactly a nil - nil Draw against, let's face it a Killie side nowhere near as good as last year, isn't exactly a season changer.

I usually can't wait for hibs games to come round but i genuinely was not that excited about winning last night. Yes i cheered the penalties but after the game my first thought was that's him in the job longer now. Sad but true.

On a plus side interesting to see what lads stepped up to take a penalty. Well done them and says a lot about them. Hanlon (who ive slagged) especially.

[lucky]

Delighted we are through to the semi final, the revenue will make up from the lost home support that he’s caused us. I doubt there’s a Hibs fan on this planet that thinks we will beat Celtic. In fact most will be believed we will get hammered. Heckingbottom claims we’ve turned the corner but I suspect we are still in a cul de sac and his team are relegation fodder.

[hibeerealist]

Hopefully that calms a few nerves. Although after Celtic and Aberdeen game, I suspect pitchforks may be back out.

Heckingbottom absolutely has to go. Should have been out before the derby. Awful.

As for last night though, nothing but credit. Don't care we were poor, don't care they were poor or the game was poor. Don't care about chances created or conceded. Cup football, result only, name in the hat, job done. Away from home on plastic pitch too. Good lads.

Suspect it serves as a stay of execution only.

Yip, nice to have gone through. By all accounts we were pretty honking.

But we got a wee bit of luck, and that luck has deserted us all season!

However, going through should have no bearing on the situation Hibernian are in, in respect of the management.

He’s not the only one either.

[Captain Trips]

The outcome of another dross performance is we have ended up in the Semi final of the cup. I do not think any credit need given for that. We played no better than any other week and we are very lucky that it was in a cup match we played a team whom were as dross as us it is that simple. Give him credit because we played equally as bad as all other weeks just because we won due to meeting somebody even worse? No I do not think so.

Out the door.

Let’s be honest, we could have played them off the park and a lot of folk wouldn’t have been interested.

A lot of posters claiming that if he could start getting results then they’d start to back him. Goes away from home to a place we have a poor record and gets us into a cup semi final and unsurprisingly the usual suspects can’t see a single positive from that.

[Hakim Sar]

We've all seen a few rank rotten Hibs teams get to semi finals. I'm not sure how much of an achievement it is at the present moment. Don't get me wrong delighted we are through, so in that sense congratulations to the boys last night including the gaffer. But I'm not changing my views after a dull 0-0 and winning a penalty lottery on a plastic pitch.

I want hibs to have the players and talent to play on the front foot against any team below Aberdeen and Hearts. It should be the minimum requirement. A 0-0 against Killie does not change the current sentiment.

[makaveli1875]

He's not the guy for hibs, he was full of bravado about high pressing attacking football. What he's delivered is a shot shy team that hardly scores and concedes alot.

[Onion]

Heckingbottom can't be judged on one pen shoot out against Killie. Just as he isn't being judged on one loss against the Yams. His leadership of team and club has been abysmal for months on end, so if there is any improvement that should be judged over a number of games starting with Celtic on Sat, then on to the Dons away.

PH's approach to previous OF games has been nothing short of disgraceful, full of fear and subservience as they were unbeatable and Holy. Little suggests anything has changed on the field but all will be revealed Sat.

[jacomo]

Let’s be honest, we could have played them off the park and a lot of folk wouldn’t have been interested.

A lot of posters claiming that if he could start getting results then they’d start to back him. Goes away from home to a place we have a poor record and gets us into a cup semi final and unsurprisingly the usual suspects can’t see a single positive from that.


Come on. This is as tiresome as your tirades against Lennon.

[calumhibee1]

Come on. This is as tiresome as your tirades against Lennon.

You just have to look around the forum to see that it's true. Predictably there's even posters that are disappointed we've made it to Hampden. Yet if we lost last night and never made it to Hampden they'd be furious. There's no winning with some.

[One Day Soon]

Some people were so fanatically invested in the Lennon out campaign that their desperation for PH to succeed as his replacement trumps all available evidence to the contrary.

I replied to a poster earlier (can’t remember who) who said that it was depressing to think that last nights result might buy PH more time. No two ways about it, there was posters who would have preferred a defeat against Hearts because they thought it would get them what they wanted quicker and posted as such. The same went for last night quite clearly.

They don’t want an improvement now. They’d rather we continued to get beat, he left and then the improvement came.

Disagree. You’ve taken your position on it and are seeing what you want to see.

We’ll have to agree to disagree then. If you find the fact that a good result may prolong his stay here disappointing then it’s a fairly safe assumption that you didn’t want a good result as you would have known that would be the case.

You can’t be disappointed that a good result might do PH some good but also be happy we won. The two are closely linked and you can’t have both a good result that you’re happy with that is also going to make PH take a step closer to being sacked. So you have to have one or the other and some have posted about their disappointment. Much like the poster above who would have taken getting knocked out the cup to get what he wanted.

You absolutely can. I would imagine a number of Lennon haters went through precisely those two conflicting emotions at times last season, probably also during the season before when they were irrationally hating him in the face of Hibs doing well.

Lots of clubs have changed managers and kicked on. I cannot fathom that any hibs fan would want him to stay. Thats not to say everyone that wants him out wants to see us lose for it to happen as some seem to think. It means realistically celtic will shaft us and we will lose at Pittodrie where our record is poor and that should be enough to see him gone. Thats not wanting hibs to lose thats being realistic.

[Smartie]

We went to pieces after Hallberg went off against Hearts, but we've been much more solid in the past 2 games with him (and sometimes Vela) playing in front of the back 4.

In fairness to PH he's addressed our biggest problem - the midfield that you could drive a bus through. In our last 2 games we've seen a significantly lower number of chances created against us and that is to his credit. We've seen a few individuals put in much better performances.

Next up he really needs to improve the threat we carry in the final third as that area is now looking like the area of greatest concern.

He's also made a big call with the goalie which so far looks to have been a good one.

There's a long way to go before he's 100% won me over but it's good to see progress at last.

If you state that you think that a defeat is the best result then imo you’d always want what you consider as the best result. I can’t think of any scenarios off the top of my head where I wouldn’t want what I perceive as the best result to come to fruition.

I’m not saying the Calum, accepting a defeat is not wanting a defeat. It’s something I can’t understand either but just have to accept the majority including you and I want the overall best for the club and different people have different way of expressing their beliefs. 👍

This seems to be batting back and forward with no winners, yours angst would be better directed at PH and what he has done to our team (regardless of the result on Wednesday), rather than fellow Hibs fans!

Did you expect a sensible answer?

We have to presume that there are a number of supporters who were incapable toward the end of the reigns of Calderwood and Fenlon in particular - but presumably Lennon too - of thinking anything other than:

'It will be great if we can get a draw or a win somehow today because that will be in the best interests of the club. In no way do I see any relationship between losses and the Board perhaps finally taking a decision to empty this useless manager so that we are able to trade this short term pain for long term gain in the best interests of the club.'

Or the easier option, you could put me on ignore. Job done, then you’ll not have to concern yourself with it.

Pretty simple really.

[Unseen work]

I think the issue is that although we won, it was mainly the same issues.

Big plus is keeping a clean sheet and overall restricting them to very few changes. But we also created very very few chances throughout the game, we had a good spell when Scotty and Oli can rob where you thought we might create something.

I think the long ball is because Heckingbottom wants to try and get rid of the mistakes we’ve been making, he has said a lot about pretty football and how a lot is down to individual errors, since then against hearts and Killie we have went a lot longer.

The times it’s not being shelled long we need to pass it a lot more accurate and quicker.

I have also never seen a team pass it back to the keeper as much as us. It infuriates me and is so easy to play against

- James coming back put a lot more composure and technical ability into the defence.
- Porto and Hanlon looked solid enough
- Maxwell dome well again and got a clean sheet
- Horgan and Middleton need to do a lot more for me.
- Doidge won a hell of a lot of flick ons but no one got near him or took the chance and gambled.

Hopefully this gives the team a bit of a confidence boost and we see them kick on now, I just don’t see it.

The semi Final is month's away. Him reaching it IMO does not make or break him but always good for club to get day out.

If it is anyone's thoughts not mine BTW losing a game to get him punted well there are plenty of them without a prize of a semi final.

We have made it to the Semi in spite of PH not because.

You may find it unbelievable, I don’t.

The Hearts defeat was a sickener, and something none of us wanted. In the short-term however, losing to Kilmarnock just may have been the straw that broke the camels back, and thus we get rid of PH.

It’s an opinion based forum, you have yours and I have mine. They are not mutually exclusive.

My next opinion is that I now deserve a coffee. That ok with you?

I’m not on here saying the product is great. It clearly isn’t. But I do object to constant criticism of players and managers, some of it personal and I’ll informed. From so called supporters.
It’s been poor but he doesn’t deserve being torn down even after a win and progression in the cup at a ground we traditionally take very little from!
Too easy to blame the manager for everything and not play our own part in helping the team on the pitch.
I’d love him to turn it around and for Hibs to start playing more positive football and make all the doom mongers eat their words.

Quite simply we cannot afford to lose. We could be bottom of the league today.

[bigwheel]

Quite simply we cannot afford to lose. We could be bottom of the league today.

these are not the games that define our season..I agree we need to start going on a run of picking up points though ..

I’m looking for a battling performance and creating some decent chances.

[Since90+2]

The likelihood is we will lose our next 2 games and be bottom of the league. We will be 8 games into the season by then and that's completely unacceptable.

I think he will get the boot but the club know we are likely to lose to Celtic and Aberdeen regardless and don't want to bring in a new manager who would get off to a losing start. He will go after the Aberdeen game imo.

[GreenCastle]

I think as always it really depends how we approach the game.

This for me has been the most frustrating part of Heckys time as a manager. The false promises of style.

We should always try be on the front foot.

I don’t want to see Maxwell hoof it to Flo it Doidge every time.

I want to see us keeping the ball and creating chances. This season we often give the ball away very easily and gone have the days of our midfield dominating.

Celtic are flying right now so after our extra time exploits the other day I hope we are ready for them.

[Since452]

Quite simply we cannot afford to lose. We could be bottom of the league today.

We'll lose this game but hopefully a bit of fight about the team

[bigwheel]

My opinion has changed a little...I actually think he is a decent coach...that said, he has signed very poorly - so he doesn’t have the players to compete well in this league ..that is the big mistake he has made - and will likely see him out of a job soon ..

I’d still love to see him turn it around ...although admit it is highly unlikely

[Captain Trips]

OK PH show us, take the game to Celtic, show us something new, let's give it a go at home. Hibs are a club that fears nobody at Easter Road so I wish to see that.

Start today show us there is something to offer.

I’ve read a few people on here saying he’s a good coach.

Not trying to be smart here, but how do you know?

I mean, how can any of us know what he’s like working with the players and what impact he’s having on them?

The results on the pitch suggest otherwise so I’m wondering if it’s just a polite way of saying he’s a crap manager?!!

And no. I was using coach in the reference to Head Coach, not suggesting he can’t do parts of the job

If he sets up to have a go we would probably have more of a chance than sitting off and waiting for the inevitable.

Great to hear and a surprising point from the toughest of fixtures. Now let's see how this team moves forward against the so called smaller teams who all raise their game against us (Yams prime example) and how Hecky deals with the continuing pressure.

[Squirrel 1875]

A plucky draw against celtic doesn’t change my mind on the man, but the team finally showed a bit of grit. Can we do it against the teams around us? That is the million dollar question.

[heretoday]

If we get our absent faces back in the squad we'll see a stronger side for sure. I'm not calling for Heck to go. No way.

[lucky]

I’d still change him. Ok we’ve got decent results in our last two games but we’ve been really negative. It will be interesting to see how he sets us up next week against Aberdeen. I doubt he’ll be any more adventurous but suspect he’ll try and scrape another point. The biggest problem that I can see is that we don’t create enough chances and don’t have the pace to counter attack. I can only recall Mallan having a shot on target today and that was just before half time. Today was better but he still needs replaced.

[BlackSheep]

I was in the give him time camp u til the motherwell game, then I wanted him gone... I am still unsure that he is the right man for the job, but I’m a bit more sure that now is not the time to make a change, as he says they’ve turned a corner, the last 2 games, while turgid to watch at Killie and a better all round performance today, show that the players are beginning to play with more heart and a change now could affect that.

[Alfred E Newman]

The players competed well today and deserved the point but ilt's hard to see us winning many games though. We just dont create enough chances with this set up and without an improvement in results the pressure on Hecky will continue to mount.
