[GoalsMcGinley]

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Every single player should be ashamed of that. 3 league wins this season and 2 of them at ER.

I’d say unacceptable disgrace, but I feel that absolutely disgusting already tops it?

Anyhow well done for starting another thread, literally no one was discussing this game before you did that.

[Boyle89]

Never going to win a game when almost all your players put in a performance like that. Sickening. Just pathetic. Should be fined a weeks wages for that abject pish

[Greenio]

I don't understand that performance at all.

Let’s be honest out with his goals Doidge hasn’t been that great. Allan has been an empty jersey for weeks now and still seems to get a start.

That team will not win the semi final and is in real danger of finishing in the bottom 6!

Surely to **** no actual Hibs fan thought that was going to change even before kick off today? :confused:

Absolutely dismal, so disjointed like they'd met up for the first time 2 minutes before kick off. Should have been down to 10 after 15 minutes although tbf Mcnulty was so ****ing gash that might have been a mercy.

Hearts were comfortably better than us in all departments tonight.

[The 90+2]

The cracks showed on Friday against a piss poor Inverness side. We played amazing according to some. We played the whole game tonight like the first three quarters against Inverness. No hunger or appetite. ****ing ****.

McNulty is incredibly out his depth. Joker of a player

[ScottB]

Big questions of a recruitment team that did nothing about an already leaky defence that lost 2 players to injury and a misfiring attack in need of depth which is probably in a weaker state now than it was in December.

Then you get to Ross who, well. You can’t preside over that ****show and not have questions asked about your skills as a manager.

[Sergio sledge]

One of the worst derby performances I've seen. At least we seem to have had some fight over the last few years even when getting beaten. Tonight we didn't even have that.

Why do we always bottle it against hearts? 22 points this season and 6 of them have been against us.

The worst thing is that it was 3 going on 5 or 6. We should have been down to 10 men for most of the game as well so it could have been so much worse.

Horrible, horrible performance. Jack Ross has some serious thinking to do before the semi final.

I think that sort of performance will pretty much put an end to any hope of selling out our allocation for Hampden.

[PH91]

Is he wrong? We were totally outthought for 90+ minutes.

Outfought. Manager has absolutely no chance if 7 or 8 players are just not at it. Unacceptable from the players tonight. Theres a lot of making up to be done at hampden.

[Hibbyradge]

We were unlucky.

Scotty was harshly adjudged to have handled and they scored 2 break away goals. The ref gave them everything and Halkett should have had a 2nd yellow.

How's that, OP?

Well, you did ask.

[Jim44]

Why?

You’re not stupid enough to expect a serious answer to that. For months we’ve laughed at the guy, while, for the main part, enjoying where we’ve gone with Ross. Now, on the basis of one bad result, the tables are turned. Nonsense.

Not out classed out fought, gutless performance, midfield run over , Ross set them up so he needs to shoulder the blame. We have been a soft club for a long time and hearts have it in their DNA to roll up the sleeves and get stuck into us.

We have some good players but not enough hard men when we need to fight . Not sure we will get the top 6 if not I don’t want ribbons and screens I want the one million spent on the team

I don’t think so either Jim, but in the context of this even German lad outsmarted Ross massively unless the players threw Ross under a bus because from start to finish they where better.
Has there ever been a derby at home before ever that we didn’t have a shot on target until the last five minutes?

Because our players are more than a wee bit soft and when they come up against a hearts team who are up for it and press us they’re taken aback. Like they’re expecting it to be a run of the mill SPFL fixture. It shouldn’t happen as often as it does. You’ve also got to ask who’s got the fire in their belly to motivate the rest of the team.

It was much worse than bottling it. Bottling it implies being overawed by the occasion. We looked much more like we were playing just any old league game - badly, disjointedly, lethargically.

This was a derby where we could have been threatening Europe with a win, putting them deeper into relegation trouble and cementing our dominance. But forget all that, much more importantly it's the derby so more than at any other time every single player should have been playing for the jersey. Instead they were gutless, feckless, clueless, energyless and shapeless.

I left at 81 minutes which is literally the first time in around 40 years of supporting Hibs that I've ever done that. Ghosts in green shirts - **** off.

Seriously, is it not time to bin the Birthday Caird Pish surrounding certain players because of what happened in Twenty-Canteen.

It is a seaside-league mentality holding us back as a collective support base and blinding us to obvious flaws within the team on the park in 2020.

Anyway:

According to Tomato Sauces, JR is NOT ****ING HAPPY with our 2016 HOF medal holders.

This is common knowledge or will be soon enough thanks to journos sniffing round the directors hospitality.

And before I get flamed/banned/bored by Mrs. Hanlon please bear this in mind:

I AM ****ING HURTING AFTER TODAY - my hubby is more philosophical and that is because he is a better person than I :not worth

This a million times over.

And whether or not Hanlon is good enough to play for us he is in no way a captain. From the get go and throughout the game - even after they were 3-0 up - they were time wasting at every dead ball, particularly throw-ins, in to slow the game and stop us from playing with any rhythm. Hanlon should have been all over the referee for that right away but instead it was the usual invisible captain routine. Not his fault, he's just not that guy. But **** me it costs us dearly over a season.

[GreenCastle]

McGregor was outstanding against them last time and he’s a leader.

Gray is finished - injured - another leader.

We don’t have another leader in the team and it showed when things weren’t going our way.

Allan has been poor for weeks - your hoping he can set something up but in a way we should have started Hallberg to win the battle 1st.

McNulty and Allan felt like playing 2 players down.

Hallberg also played well last Derby.

We simply can’t line up same in the game at Hampden.

To only have 3 strikers is also coming back to bite us.

Overall a terrible performance tonight by a distinctly average midtable team.

Can't defend that performance. Night and day from other games in 2020. Couldn't cope with the Hearts high press. Ross needs to find a solution by April or we are screwed. That was arguably our strongest team as well!
Nailed it

We were poor, but it was Allan and Jackson who gave away the first 2 goals.

There's no recovering from that.

As soon as the penalty was given I knew we were sunk.

There IS a way to recover from 2-0 down in a derby

It takes leaders. It takes guts.

We had that with bartley, Henderson, Cummings & the class of 2016

We didnt have any leadership tonight

Agree. Seems Hearts really knew what their plan was and executed it with a lot of energy and passion added in. From our side the passion and motivation seemed lacking, and our 'plan' clearly failed, the players wilted and basically became disjointed. Next game (against anyone, but in particular the Semi Final) we need to go into it fighting and pumped, and with a strong plan - and in the case Hearts - using a well thought out effective counter strategy to the high press.

I think maybe the club/players/fans were beginning to believe that we could just turn up and play well without really thinking or trying.

An aside, I think Hearts had a proper reason to win the game, whereas for us there isn't as much at stake. If the team (including lots of new/inexperienced personnel) had really understood the Derby, then they would have known that winning this game was a 'reason' in its own right.

Thanks for putting things in perspective and for restoring my faith in our "online" fanbase.
