Dundee Utd 0 - 1 Hibs (Doidge)

[PeeJay]

Better second half - Allan played well when he came on, really impressed by Doig, some good imdividual performances - wasn't "pretty", but another 3 points, top of the league ftm ...

[wookie70]

We look really solid as a team. Really impressed by Doig and the new signing have all improved us. Great 3 points and the first time in my football watching lifetime we have won the first 3 league games. Dare to dream, if Leicester can do it then who knows.

Simple game this...........

[neil7908]

We struggled but showed great resilience to come away with 3 points. A bit worried about how light we looked in midfield but the whole defence was brilliant. Gogic has made a massive difference.

With Kamberi and Jackson mow gone hopefully we'll see a couple more in.

Hanlon was absolutely superb tonight. He has had three impressive performances in a row now

Whole defence looks solid.

Sturgeon can end the season now if she wants

Might consider voting SNP if she did that...:hmmm:

Great result in the grand scheme of things. UTD were a solid enough team and they have a better manager than last time.

Special mentions to Doig and McGinn who were superb and I thought Gogic was really good along with the CH’s.

Doidge, Newall were good 2nd half and Allan provides a bit of composure when he came on.

Thought Doidge was superb tonight. Great hold up play and some good work at the back towards the end. Also won a good few free kicks to take the pressure off just when we needed it.

[Slateford Hibee]

Great result, performance ok. 3 points all that matters. Watched it in Diggers, quite a few Hibby's in tonight.👍

Excellent result - had to battle and not the prettiest football but 3 points all that matters - impressed with the defence tonight and in particular Doig looks like he has been playing for years

[Slateford Hibee]

9 points, 1 league and mind the drop.

[Sylar]

That's 2 really impressive away wins on the bounce, albeit against markedly different quality sides (looks like Livi might be a team that struggles this year).

United never really looked like threatening us going forward, but were pretty solid in defence and midfield. Doidge took his goal well - thank goodness there isn't VAR up here though, or it would probably have been 1 point.

[GreenCastle]

A win and most of the U.K. watching (as no other footy on TV) - nice one Hibs !

[Wull]

a few positives tonight, the defence seems very stable and young Doig gets about the park and gets into some great positions, happy days :flag:

sorry my quotes mucked up there, it was me that said we quite possibly would have got a penalty with var :wink:

[ACLeith]

Defence again magnificent, Rocky never had a shot to save. Great energy and teamwork all over the pitch, one wee incident in second half, Joe Newell bust a gut in midfield to run 10 yards to close their player down inside their half, so he had to pass back to the keeper - great "unseen work"!

A load of candidates for MOTM, but for me Doig edged it. He'll need to be rested and looked after as the season progresses but a great find.

Oh and we nearly always kept possession from throw-ins, that goes back a lot longer than 1974!!

i think if it had been later in the game it could have been red

[mal]

First time since 1974 we’ve won first three games in the top league.

Just been having a look at those results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974%E2%80%9375_Hibernian_F.C._season. What's really interesting is that, apart from the games against Celtic, The Actual Rangers and Hearts, our attendances are much bigger now (or at any rate when we have crowds) and the old terracing meant we could get a higher attendance against Rangers at ER than at Ibrox.

A win against Motherwell on Saturday would see us equal our 1974 run of 4 wins out of 4.

[Jakhog1]

Not the prettiest but a wins a win, Doig looks a great prospect, good seeing that Ross can change the shape of play when it's not working for us, our forwards are on fire, top of the league and confidence will be high

[Aldo]

Funny that those down Tiny way are laughing. As someone mentioned in a earlier post, we only need 1 more victory this season to equal their total number of wins all last season.

Anyway what league they in again??

He’s been a rock the last 3 games. All about opinions when it comes to players performances. I actually thought Horgan was doing okay but the shift of formation didn’t quite suit him.

Whole team defended well at times.

His description of Doig “wandering offside” is ****ing laughable - his ankle was offside...that was it.

Mellon’s got them well organised but they’re very ordinary indeed. LS now has to up his game to get his place back.

I've now watched the replay on sportscene and while it's reckless I think a yellow is fair. No idea how their manager can moan about that.

I know the performance wasn’t great but we’ve went to what I believe will be a mid table side and won. Dundee Utd will be fine this season. Just beat Motherwell away which is difficult and we’ve got the win. We have struggled to win ugly so it’s good to see
