2 out of 3 ain't bad

[KWJ]

Ross County (h)
Livingston (h)
Celtic (n)

He has to win 2 of them to make it deeper into Christmas. If we somehow make it to the final he'd get that I think but he needs to win at least 1 of the league games to be in charge for the semi.

RC could be toxic if we're not comfortably winning.

Given our precarious position, Ross County and Livi at home requires minimum four points. The cup game can take care of itself, we need points. This has to be crunch time for Hecky; two home games we should be winning.

[CloudSquall]

If we don't take 6 points off of Ross Country and Livi at home and nothing is done then the game's a bogey.

In reality we'll scrape two draws from the clutches of victory, certain posters will rip the tap aff it at the thought of Doidge's workrate with f all end product, before we head to Hampden to be on the receiving end of a cricket score.


If anyone thinks differently they can send me a good portion of the Colombian finest they are sniffing.

The same cricket score we were going to be on the receiving end of at Rugby Park? Or is it the cricket score we were on the receiving end of when we last played Celtic? Neither of them? Must be the same cricket score we were going to be on the receiving end of at Pitto... oh wait..

Did we win any of them? Just because we set boring bland and grind out a couple of draws doesn’t give major credit to anyone. Woohoo we didn’t get smashed at Killie again like we did in the first match or at Motherwell or Ibrox, let’s all be happy we are just a less bit ****?

I never said anything about how we won any of them? Folk are predicting cricket scores every week. Then when we don't get pumped by a cricket score it's not good enough. If you predict enough games to end as cricket scores you'll get one right eventually.. maybe.

And....if you predict a win one usually comes around once every ten games. We are sitting second bottom for a reason.

He shouldn't be here to contest them. Maximum points from the three games after Aberdeen should have been the only outcome that kept him in the job.

Wins the league Cup all is forgotten, regardless of our league position 😉

My mistake, I'll ask KP to get Leanne to check if the speakers are up to blasting out the Champions League theme tune in preparation for next year given how well the season is going so far.

[Brooster]

I thought Hamilton were terrible on Saturday and we failed to beat them. Ross County and Livi will be tougher propositions. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we beat them both if we still have the same manager.

There's every chance ross county will end his joyless reign on Saturday.

[Hibee Mac]

Get what you're trying to say but the animosity towards Heckingbottom is far worse than that aimed at Stubbs - despite a lot of us wanting him punted after the playoff loss.

You just don't come back from this, he's a dead man walking.

Thank god I’m not predicting wins every week then.. or weekly cricket scores.

That was a terrible day. Massive opportunity thrown away.

Ah, fair enough! We are definitely in an odd limbo period just now and you're right the mood on this board is taking a turn for the worse because of it!

It requires 6 points, not 4. And I would still get rid of him

[Baldy Foghorn]

6 points a must, the semi is a free hit at Celtc

[calumhibee1]

Pretty much how I see it.

[Beefster]

I've been hearing for weeks/months about how he needs to do this and that. He subsequently fails and the requirements are adjusted accordingly.

There's no chance of him turning it around long-term but the Board won't do anything about it until we're deep in the ****. We all suffer the consequences of it though.

Agree with this. I think there’s a fair chance we’ll pick up a win on Saturday. But it’s not going to change much in terms of the overall picture this season. He’s done and the majority of the support are done with him.

There’ll be a lot of empty seats on Saturday which will tell it’s own story. Not that the board will care, they have the money.

The board are likely to only start caring when the fans anger is directed towards them instead of the manager. If the fans had been calling for dempsters head as long as and with the same ferocity as hecky's, he would be long gone already.

[WeeRussell]

Personally think 4 points is the most we will get from the two league games. And it'll be a fairly comfortable defeat against the weegie ****.

Both games will be extremely difficult, in fact I would say the Hamilton match was the easiest and should have been used to build confidence.

[Onceinawhile]

6 points a must, the semi is a free hit at Celtc

Ditto, with a proviso that even 6 points wouldn't be enough if we get hugely embarrassed.

Yer erse!

Stubbs was playing nice attractive football with goals and excitement aplenty. And NOT just against lower league opposition - he had us regularly beating SPL sides in the cups.

There is simply ZERO comparison to be made between Stubbs - one of the most successfull Hibs managers in my lifetime - and Heckingbottom. So give up on the idiot challenge.

Edit - just noticed the follow up posts saying you meant this in jest. Sick of revisionists trying to paint him as a failure at Hibs - ludicrous!

Yes it was meant as a joke, hence the exclamation marks at the end of it

[Barman Stanton]

Trying hard to lift my pessimism, but I wouldn't be surprised to see us fail to win any of the 3 games. I think teams will look forward to playing Hibs at the moment. We are a soft touch, and the crowd will be on the players backs quickly at home. It really is shocking how far backwards we have went.

[Since452]

I think we'll win the two home games. Celtic will raise their game for the semi I'd expect

[lyonhibs]

6 points is an absolute must, I don't like making such definite statements but it really is. Then a decent, brave performance against Celtic where we have a go and take the game to them and I'll be content with that, even if we lose by 2 or 3.

[Nicho87]

Only 2 wins in the league will buy him more time. He will get the semi regardless now I reckon. Knowing hibs he’ll still be here come February

You took the words right out of my mouth.

For crying out loud, surely he should have been sacked long before now. He's brought is so many players with a bad attitude; we're going nowhere fast.

What I struggle with is surely he should have our team fired up before we get onto the pitch, so we start games like a bat out of hell.

And what's the latest with Kamberi? I'm sure he's feeling as if he's all revved up with no place to go.

My worry when we get rid of Hecky is that it could be an out of the frying pan and into the fire situation.

Whilst I'm talking mince, don't you think Stevie Mallan is a deadringer for Love, Graham that is!

Well read 'em an weep, I don't think two draws was what the OP had in mind when he posted "2 out of 3 ain't bad".

It's certainly hasn't been paradise by the dashboard light with Hecky in charge.

But now he's gone. Hopefully, a new manager will identify central midfield as the position to reinforce - he'd be blind as a bat not to. We've a few lost boys and golden girls in there currently.

I still hold out for a manager that can come in and turn us around quickly. Maybe Stubbs can re-create the SC Winners mindset - heaven can wait if only he could win the cup again for us. If so, there would not be a dry eye in the house.

Whoever we get to become manager, I really hope our rock and roll dreams come true.

Confused, yes me too! You took the words right out of my mouth!

Great post :party::rockin: And aye, I thought he should've been punted before the Celtic game but 0 from 3 is brutal. There ain't not way I'm ever gonna love Hecky.

Sad news that Meatloaf has died at the age of 74. Listened a lot to his albums when I was in my teens/twenties - you'll see from above that I was quite a fan. What an entertainer he was!

I wondered why this thread had been resurrected... and even more why to mention Meat Loaf's passing. I get it now :greengrin

Some cracking songs by a big voice over the years.
