No ground lost on Motherwell who are in very poor form and a point gained on Aberdeen who don’t look great either.

Not the end of the world if not the ideal outcome.

Results elsewhere mean no real damage has been done, but a win would have pretty valuable today. Point is not disastrous but we need to up our game on Friday.

Don’t let ego’s cloud judgment on this, Livi have been ahead of us all season and we’ve been extremely inconsistent.

They’re a difficult team to beat and whilst I thought we should win, we have absolutely no right to just beat them based on their name.

It’s not ideal but we’ve not lost and we’re closer to Aberdeen than this morning.

Plenty time to make up the gap.

It is what it is.

Ideally would have won today but realistically there will be games we drop points we probably should win.

Horrible conditions against a stuffy well organised team that are currently above us in the league.

Goes without saying its only 1 point instead of 3 so in that sense of course it’s 2 points dropped, with Aberdeen losing though I’m happy enough to view it as a pointed gained on them.

Well, the 3 points for a win and one for a draw system has been in play for decades now so although you are quite right that we would have got two more points for winning, I don’t think it’s a notable enough observation to justify its own post, let alone its own thread.

Maybe that’s just me though.

Yet Aberdeen will probably will finish 3rd or 4th and they got beat at home to Ross county. Are they weak too?

Games like today is why we won’t win leagues any time soon but we are still more than capable of finishing 3rd or 4th

Livingston are no mugs but don't think we put enough into the game today. It's all very well talking about catching Aberdeen and Motherwell but we're still behind Livi who pretty much win every home game.

Still work to do to finish in the top 6.

Obviously you’d always fancy Hibs at home to Livi but sometimes these things happen, they’re above is in the league so aren’t any mugs. 4 points off a probable European place, at home to the bottom side in the league next and a good draw in the quarter final of the cup.

Disappointing result today but it’s no big drama and this suggestion it proves we can’t finish 3rd or 4th now is nonsense.

Livingston are undoubtedly better at home, 3rd in the home table. They’re 7th in the away table and unbeaten in both their games at Easter Road. They’re not “gash” away, but certainly a lot better at home and in 5th on merit.

It’s been a turbulent season so a top six finish imo would be a good achievement.A draw against Livingston given their league position is not a disastrous result.

Agreed. We scored 3 against Aberdeen and Motherwell at home this season and drew with both away (and should have won at Aberdeen). Our record against Livi is much poorer.We should look forward to the Aberdeen and Motherwell games home or away with confidence in the top 6. I'm sure we would take a point v Livi home or away. European places could go down to the wire. Just need Hibs to get there first!!

Really boring game, littered with errors, although wind and heavy pitch were factors.
No urgency and no plan.
A lot of Slivka bashing here, but he wasn’t the worst. Stevenson appeared equally culpable for letting the cross in and Marciano should be clearing people out to gather such a straightforward delivery.
McNulty was simply dreadful and lucky to stay on. Did he perk up when Gullan was stripped? That should have been a straight swap, felt a bit sorry for Gullan getting stuck out wide then shifted again. Chucking on loads of forwards seldom works as a strategy.

Hibs have failed to win two games in a row at ER in 16 months. One of the reasons for that is they concede a goal within a couple of minutes of scoring far too frequently. As others have posted, one goal is too often not enough for Hibs to see out a game, and win, due to our defensive frailty as a team.

Until that is sorted out, it will be mid table mediocrity or worse.

Hibees1973
22-02-2020, 07:51 PM
There is a lack of steel in this Hibs side.

Because of this we can never be confident going into any game. Even against a lower league side, Inverness and an under performing Hearts side, our next 2 games.

However, with the squad we currently have we must play to our strengths which is attacking football. Allan & Docherty supporting McNulty & Doidge, with Boyle & Newell out wide.

To tweak with this formation would dilute our forward play. Recruitment in the summer will focus on our defence. We need a couple of robust full backs. If this Hibs team had a fit David Gray and a David Murphy type at left back, there is a good chance we would be 3rd.

Most Hibs fans want us to be an attacking side, but our defensive deficiencies leaves us exposed and losing goals. This is the way it is going to be until the end of the season.

Have to agree with you on McNulty..awful today and still doesnt look fit to me..couple of times Hanlon went mental at him for his lack of movement.

Cant say I've been overly impressed with him since he came back, problem is he has no competition for a starting place really.

Definitely two points dropped, because we had the lead and failed to keep it.

It was a poor performance today by us, partly down to Livingston being well organised and partly to our own players being below their usual standard.

wookie70
22-02-2020, 11:56 PM
Two dropped for me. We were lacklustre at best. Some terrible performances in what was a huge game. Ross should have went 442 earlier as they only had one main striker and his subs and changing back to 352 were odd at best. Allan needs dropped and playing Boyle against a 6 footer with a goalie that never leaves his line is asking for trouble. We got away with it first time but no change and punished next time. No chance of Europe at that performance level.

Today was a chance to prove we should be above them but we were found wanting
We are now relying on teams above us dropping points consistently to be in with a chance of getting into top four


Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI don’t think people are denying Livi are good but rather bemoaning the fact that we don’t have a good enough team to beat them, especially at home.

We’re not really. We have still to play Aberdeen twice, beat them once and avoid defeat in the other and we will be level with them. Technically we need them to drop points but we are the team that can take care of that for ourselves, it’s in our hands.

Motherwell are also struggling badly just now, I see no reason with them and Aberdeen still to play each other twice that we can’t catch them both.

That’s a missed chance. When you’re chasing, you have to take advantage when you can. We didn’t today.
Of that there is no doubt.

Aberdeen lost at home to Ross County. Motherwell drew with the second worst team in the league. Puts our draw in horrendous conditions in perspective

No we won't. If we beat Aberdeen and draw with them, we'll still be a point behind them. That being said, I agree, 4 points from our 2 games with Aberdeen and we will catch them

Definitely two points dropped. 1-0 up at home after a missed penalty.

I've lost count over the past few years of the times the teams immediately above us draw or lose when we do the exact same. Every result went in our favour today and we fail to capitalise. so frustrating!

We lack leadership and we are simply too nice at times.

Gray and McGregor are the best leaders but aren’t fully involved.

I’m all for recruiting good footballers but we need a few players that will drive us through games and dictate the tempo with a bit of dig about them to drive others on.

Hopefully yesterday will allow us to refocus and beat ICT and our pink neighbours - but we haven’t won 2 home games in a row all season according to a poster on here ??!

:agree: Hibs teams have been doing this for decades sadly, not just over the past few years. I share your frustration.

Three tough games just past and seven points out of nine. Also a Scottish Cup quarter final on Friday. Chance to skelp that lot after that. Best league finish in fifteen years attainable.

What a bunch of glass half empty, miserable pessimists this place attracts.

Absolutely.

That's not true. Seeing as you're bringing the cup into the equation, we beat Alloa & Arbroath back to back in the League cup in August.:greengrin

Yesterday is gone.

Get past ICT and hump the Jambos, even by a 95th minute sclaff.

I said on the Livi match prediction thread that I could see us slipping up, largely due to the fact it's a rare feat for Hibs to win four games in a row. Frustrating yes, but not a disaster by any means.

There also seems to be a presumption that we should beat Livi simply because they're a small club. Yet they've been above us pretty much all season and are clearly no pushovers. A draw was probably a good bet yesterday.

As somebody else has said, many of us would probably have taken a draw at Killie and a win yesterday so we've ended up with the same number of points.

It's important to remember where we were when Jack Ross took over. An outside chance of a European spot was certainly not on the radar of many so personally speaking I'm happy with progress so far. You just need to look at where the yams are to see what happens when you make the wrong call on a new manager.

That’s my bad, thought we were 4 behind before yesterday. This next 3/4 weeks before the Celtic game are huge. Hopefully get within 3 points by the time the split comes. Team could easily lose all 5 games after the split.

Just to clarify, I was referring to SPFL Premiership matches only.

If the sheep/Motherwell win all 5 after the split I’d take a step back and congratulate them, they can both barely win 2 games just now never mind 5 back to back against the top 5 other teams in the country.
