That is a fantastic win

[Northernhibee]

Difficult conditions, away from home, plastic pitch against a good team with good players in good form. Moves us within five points of third.

A little annoyed by a midfielder not carrying out their defensive duties again to make it more difficult for us, but you have to say that is a really important victory.

The question is Hibbys - can we finish third?

[AL-Qaholik]

Stonking result! Absolutely massive.

[Since452]

No mean feat tonight. Killie have won three on the bounce and undefeated in four

[Vault Boy]

Really is a superb result, the kind we simply couldn't have hoped to get earlier in the season.

Thought Doidge showed a lot more to his game today. He didn't score, but his use of possession was top notch and he got stuck in defensively.

Brilliant from Hanlon, Docherty, Ofir and Jackson.

[RyeSloan]

Thought we were well worth the first half lead...second half we dug in and got the result.

Either way a huge 3 points that probably will make the difference between top n bottom 6.

And quite simply means onwards and upwards!!

[Pretty Boy]

We have put ourselves right in the hunt for Europe now. 2 must win games this week, both negotiated well.

I said in December we had no chance of Europe, I'm starting to be quite hopeful I was wrong.

[calumhibee1]

Superb result.

[Stevie Reid]

Killie away at Celtic next week, St. J at home to Rangers. Win over Livi would be a huge result.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Agreed! It is indeed an outstanding result given that Killie were a confident and in form side and playing on their own artificial surface at home.
Well done the Hibees!!
:flag:

[Wilson]

Well done hibs!

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Brilliant win, steely performance. Will do the confidence the world of good as the defence had to dig in... GGTTH

[roo62]

What a really enjoyable game of football in really difficult conditions. Two good teams playing the right way. Good advert... and a great win for us 👍

[kaimendhibs]

Superb result

It was a must win if we've any ambitions for a europa spot. Not an easy place to pick up points from.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Earlier in season our defence would have caved. Still not as solid as I'd like but they have manned up. Hanlon suits a back 3

[Stevie Reid]

Goals coming from so many sources just now as well.

[gazzag70]

In games as important as that especially given the conditions it’s all about the 3 points, absolutely brilliant result.

[Green Badger]

Yep, brilliant win for the Hibees!!!

[Crab apple]

Sheep are definitely catchable but we’ll probably need to beat them up there in three weeks time.

[worcesterhibby]

Great result..can you imagine if..

St mirren best Hearts
Hamilton best Motherwell
we best livingston

on Friday/Saturday

[Keith_M]

The results this weekend have worked in our favour. Remote chance of third but it's still a chance.


I think we struggled a bit in the second half without Newell, so it's a big achievement that we still managed to hang on for the win. I seriously think we would have won by more if he hadn't been injured.

[green day]

Adam Jackson, Greg Docherty, cant decide who is my fave current player?

Docherty just said on BT he isnt really sharp yet !!!!

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Brilliant result at a difficult venue. GGTTH.

[Todi114]

Jack Ross joined with Hibs 1 point in front of hearts
mind the gap 17 points

[Waxy]

We’re looking really good and doing it with ease.
Loving what Jack Ross is doing.
Edit- and of course the players.We all look very together.

Doing a great job it's a massive turnaround from where we were when Hecky was sacked. Immense result oh and just the #17pointsback across the road 🤣🤣🤣

[emerald green]

Hibs have nearly got twice the number of points Hearts have.

Personally don't think 3rd is remote chance... I'd put it at evens

... but that might be the gin :greengrin

[Bobby's Cinema]

Tremendous result. Pretty unbearable watch towards the end great to get there. Well done Hibs and JR :aok::aok:

Great opportunity to carry this on with our next fixtures leading into the Aberdeen game

[hfc rd]

Today was all about the result more than the performance. Massive 3 points in tough windy conditions.

Well done Hibs!

[Squealing pig]

Great first half , bit of steel in 2nd , great result

[ancient hibee]

Ross took his time to look at the players and bring in what he wanted.He's now got the balance of the team spot on and they are playing with a lot of confidence all looking for the ball all over the park.The players who we all thought were mugs at the start of the season are now stalwarts.Shows what a good coach can do.

[Onion]

Fantastic win at a tough venue. Well done the lads !

[Onceinawhile]

Great result. Really dug in at the end. Hanlon and Jackson absolutely collosal.

[neil7908]

Massive, massive 3 points.

2 really impressive performances in a row. Showed style and attacking threat against County mid week and real steel and grit tonight.

[Bostonhibby]

Yep, well done Hibs, really ground out a result and might actually have scored more.

JR spoke well yet again. Clear head and knows exactly what he wants.

[tonyrougier123]

3-5-2 working to our advantage with squad available,ross proving to be every bit the influence I thought he would be,no brainer appointing the guy.
We would have skooshed that in fair weather imo.

[HendoDelivered]

Unreal result that.

[Since452]

The fact that I'd have been happy with a draw tonight shows what a great result that was.

[Hiber-nation]

Feels like 2017-18 all over again....brilliant result and dug deep in the 2nd half.

Hope Newell is ok, we need him.

[Lancs Harp]

Was a pretty good game in trying conditions. I thought we played some good stuff for the best part of an hour. Had to show some resilience in the final half hour something earlier in the season I doubt we would have done. A very good three points.

Well done Jack and the boys and also to the travelling faithful.


:flag:

[A Hi-Bee]

A really good result in piss poor conditions it may be the win that defines our season, onwards and up.
Well done Hibs

:flag::flag::flag:

[B.H.F.C]

Pleased with that. We’d be in third if we’d had Ross all season.

[murray26]

Fantastic result.. this could set up a really exciting end to the season.. love it💚💚

[Kavinho]

Great result.

[Greenbeard]

Barry; a. East of Scotland term; really good. "That was a barry result against Killie."

[GreenCastle]

What a difference having players who want to play for the manager in a system that suits them.

Loving Hibs right now - several players really getting the club and it’s great to see.

Well done Jack and the players - plus fans who travelled through in those conditions.

[Keith_M]

Did they announce how many away fans attended?

[Wheat Hound]

Did they announce how many away fans attended?

712 was what was announced at the game

[ACLeith]

Of course players made individual mistakes but that’s the result of having to employ human beings! But everyone got the ball down and tried to pass the ball about on a difficult surface, never mind the weather. At least for an hour!

Hanlon and Jackson immense, Docherty’s goal was special. Even the refs incompetence couldn’t harm us though Jackson got away with it at the end

[WoreTheGreen]

Any fans who traveled total respect

[The Harp]

Wonderful result and performance from Hibs. Thought it was a great game with both teams going for it. Nice wee 4 point gap opened up, now to overtake Livi.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Was so cold at game, but both teams tried to play football in horrendous conditions. Fair play to both, delighted with that, great result

[ahibby]

Stonking result! Absolutely massive.

Despite not looking like we wanted to score in the second half. Killie unfortunate considering their effort in the second half. Could be a useful three points as we go on.

[wookie70]

Great chance now for 3rd or 4th and in our own hands. Important to make up points of Aberdeen and Motherwell before the split and will be interesting to see how our fixtures are worked out. We will have played Aberdeen, Motherwell, Killie and Rangers away twice and only Cetic and Livi twice at home. We will be due 3 away and two home to even up our home and away games over the season.

[Unseen work]

Brilliant win.

Horrible conditions, horrible pitch and they were chucking everything at us.

They put in a lot of very good crosses however didn’t actually trouble us much with actual shots, I can think of one Rocky made that was a good save.

Jackson was brilliant again imo, very strong in the air and looks like he genuinely enjoys defending.

I never thought the conditions etc would suit us but we battled very well and showed a lot of character.

Jack Ross just gets better every week for me, the change in formation was pivotal in the pressure easing a bit the last 5-10 minutes imo. Really looking forward to seeing what he can do after a full pre season and with his own players in.

To think how bad a start of season we had and now we’re 5 points behind Motherwell who are having a brilliant season? Ross deserves massive credit

Well done hibs, onwards and upwards - still plenty hard work to do

[Iggy Pope]

Rocky was very composed today, his handling was first class.

[inglisavhibs]

Great result. Really dug in at the end. Hanlon and Jackson absolutely collosal.
The end of a hectic spell of games. Guys like Doidge, Boyle and Hanlon who have played every game recently will be glad of the free midweek! Big game now on Saturday against a very tough Livingston team.

[jakedance]

Potentially a season defining win. Fair play to both teams for playing some good football.

[wookie70]

Feels like 2017-18 all over again....brilliant result and dug deep in the 2nd half.

Hope Newell is ok, we need him.

It really does. This time Stevenson is injured and we go 3-5-2 and it clicks. last time SDG got injured and Boyle can into a 3-5-2 and out of nowhere we were an excellent team. Both years the winter signings were what we needed.

[lucky]

Great result. For a season that was looking dreadful we could end up with at least two Hampden appearances and a top 4 finish

[Keith_M]

712 was what was announced at the game


Cheers.

Quite a bit down on the usual numbers but not exactly a surprise, given the weather.

[Real Emerald]

It’s a brilliant win given Killie’s recent form and the battle for the top six. That plus being away from home, the plastic pitch and weather makes this a brilliant 3 points, well done to all involved. GGTTH ☺️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[BT58]

Livi wont be easy as theyve shown against the Hun today,
However we are at home. The weather should have eased. Docherty has his shooting boots on, WHAT A SIGNING HE IS .....
Get him signed HIBS :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Alex Trager]

Well done Hibernian FC. Excellent win and now extremely close to 3/4.

With two games against the sheep we have it within our hands to catch them

[adhibs]

Brilliant ☘️

[h1bs4life]

Fantastic win. Difficult venue , on a crap plastic pitch that Kilmarnock know how to use to there advantage.
Horrendous conditions. Started of well with decent passing moves , cracking goal from Docherty. Lost a quick equaliser then Jackson showed great sharpness to turn and hit towards goal. 2- 1 deserved half time lead.
They were always going to come in to the game on there own patch where they have decent record against bigger teams. Every player did there bit. Rocky' s handling was excellent . Hanlon ( who I have been critical in the past) and Jackson were excellent. McGinn did a job, Docherty had another great game. Rest did their bit.
Mentioned on another thread that Boyle would get lumps kicked out of him before anybody gets booked, was proved right. If he played for either of the arse cheeks then players would booked lot earlier.

[tamh]

Hanlon and Jackson fantactic today

[EI255]

Superb result Hibs. Absolutely fantastic.
Ross isn't half starting to show that he really was a very, very good appointment.

We are difficult to beat and after the summer we will sign more quality and beef up the defence.

Very encouraging times [emoji16]

Great result in a very difficult game. Thought we deserved the points, as well.

[JimBHibees]

Goals coming from so many sources just now as well.

Actually think we are going to hammer a few teams soon as so many attacking options. Good we have no midweek games next two weeks as we are only going to get better. Looks like real squad depth also with everyone pulling their weight. Onwards and upwards imo.

[Chorley Hibee]

Exactly the type of game we need to be winning to have any aspirations of Europe.

Well done Hibs, let's keep it up.

[jacomo]

Massive congratulations to the management team and the players.

Excellent work.

[basehibby]

Excellent performance and fully deserved win.

We looked in control and likely to score right up to the last twenty minutes or so when Killie threw the kitchen sink at us but came up against a resolute defence. Those three points make such a difference though - all of a sudden Europe seems like more than just a pipe dream!

We never stopped playing football though - excellent!

[monktonharp]

Any fans who traveled total respect
absolutely..... we could not do a bus, yet manged to get some of our young guys on buses. well done the branches that got there

[147lothian]

How good was it to see the much maligned defence hold firm when the much anticipated second half onslaught came. JR has turned things around were in a good place right now Docherty has transformed the midield, McNulty and Doige are looking like a good parnership up front and to add to that were showing that we can see games out. All good in the hood.

[zitelli62]

As well as the starting 11 the bench also offered us like for like when the game wore on great game management from Jack ross subs at the right time think through time we may be very lucky to have him as manager he is only going to get better and so is the team.

[Hibeesmad]

I genuinely think that was our best result of the season.
