St Johnstone 0 - 1 Hibernian (Mallan)

[jeffers]

It’s weird how people see things differently, I think Newell has been anonymous.

Me too. Offering heehaw again.

As much as I love Scott Allan there’s no point in playing him if forward players don’t make runs for him. Too often he gets the ball, looks up and there is no movement ahead of him.

[lord bunberry]

I’m not getting all the negativity here. Nearly every game that’s been played this season has been extremely tight and this one is no different. St Johnstone should be down to 10 men and we’ve been the better team so far.

[Biggie]

This is a tough watch....kinda fear for us if this standard fare this season...

[MWHIBBIES]

Been absolutely fine apart from St J getting a perfectly good goal chopped off?

We got a perfectly good penalty not given, though?

[Sir David Gray]

I think there's going to be a lot of 0-0 draws and 1-0 wins and defeats involving us this season.

[Souter96Mac]

Looks like Nisbet getting injured has impacted us as we've had to change our shape. We don't look comfortable playing 433.

We need another striker on alongside Doidge. Get Gullan on for Horgan

[Vault Boy]

59% possession and 7 attempts. Definitely better than previous.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Neither do I. We need to do a bit more in the final third but got the first time, we’re actually in control of the game possession wise.

We need to go and win this game.
We are not doing enough. This sort of containment not offering much style is fine when you get the three points but quickly is recognised for what it is when you don't. We are crying out for someone if midfield controlling the tempo.

[Cheshire Hibee]

It would be nice too see a central midfielder who will run at the defence occasionally instead of continually trying to pass through the centre of their defence and put them on the back foot.

Is Newell playing? Passing is very hurried and wayward most of the time, yet to see McGinn clear the ball upfield without it going out of play. Both teams very poor tbh.

[sean04]

Rocky made a mistake. Doesn’t mean the whole team has been bad. Doidge very unlucky not to score. Botyles effort, horgans half chance. Had a lot of the ball. Has rocky made a save?

[hibee-boys]

Newell has been our best player here. Probably get slaughtered again but Doig is completely lost on the left... no doubt he’ll be a decent player but he’s a million miles away.

Newell best player? He's offered nothing but pass backs to the defence or Gogic, don't think i've seen him take the ball forward once.

[Keith_M]

Two goals chalked off for offside
One goal chalked off for handball

At least there's something for the pundits to discuss.

[Pretty Boy]

Yep. I can see a season where we will finish somewhere between 3rd and 5th but there will be plenty grumbling about our style along the way.

Think Aberdeen for the last umpteen years under DM.

So what, they got a goal chopped off, it happens, doesn't mean Hibs have been horrendous by any stretch of the imagination, would I have liked us to have played better? Yes, was it as bad as some people are making out? No last week was much worse than this

[BILLYHIBS]

This

[hfc rd]

Eventful 1st half. We’ve had opportunities and their GK has kept them in it with two very good saves from both Boyle & Doidge. They should be a goal up but we’ve had offside decisions that weren’t offside go against us in the past so many times.

Hopefully we find the breakthrough in the 2nd half.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

We need a spark from somewhere but I just don’t know if we have anyone capable.

Theres a real lack of mobility in the middle. Its all too slow and ponderous in posession

[thebakerboy]

Very lucky there wtf was rocky doing?
Think Rocky saw flag up and stopped at least I hope that is what happened

[SaulGoodman]

This is a fair and balanced half time analysis team 🙄🙄

And he'd have been exactly the same 8f it was Hibs.

Better no let the doom and gloomers see that. Away from home and controlling a lot of the ball. Motherwell did that to us last week

Or for the more 'mature' supporters, think Bertie Auld from the early 80s.

As an aside, after Auld left we moved from a mid-table team to a team fighting relegation for about five seasons.

[villahibs]

Newell best player? He's offered nothing but pass backs to defence or Gogic, don't think i've seeb him take the ball forward once.

He’s putting the ball wide to Doig who’s getting himself in some decent positions but keeps going 20 yards back to Hanlon..

[Sheffhibee]

We need to get the ball forward on the deck much more quickly. We're letting them get organised with the slow build up. Cmon Hibs we can win this :flag:

[Vault Boy]

And he'd have been exactly the same 8f it was Hibs.

Agreed. It was simply an atrocious decision and had that been Hibs who were denied a clear goal, I'd be raging and Boyd would have been just as scathing.

[B.H.F.C]

We are not doing enough. This sort of containment not offering much style is fine when you get the three points but quickly is recognised for what it is when you don't. We are crying out for someone if midfield controlling the tempo.

I don’t disagree with much of that. It’s pretty clear the ball isn’t moving through midfield quick enough. Gogic is good without it but keeps giving it away when he has it. Newell doing nothing for me. We’d to get the ball to Allan, Boyle and Horgan quicker.

I wouldn’t say we’re set up to try and contain though, we just need it moved quicker.

[Brightside]

For 352. Bring on Gullan.

[J-C]

He’s putting the ball wide to Doig who’s getting himself in some decent positions but keeps going 20 yards back to Hanlon..

And everyone moaned at Stevenson for doing that most games.

[Cheshire Hibee]

It’s an improvement on last week but there are times when we are to slow in moving the ball from midfield and giving saints time to get men behind the ball. Quick balls forward for Boyle & Horgan to run with and either cut inside and run at the defence or whip crosses in for Doidge

The result is important but people want to see some football and attacking play.

[PeeJay]

Pretty poor stuff all round IMO - we had one or two "decent" moments up front
We should be getting the ball more often to Doidge and Boyle and even Horgan, although he wasted two really good chances,
McGuinn is having an absolutely shocking game - Porto playing really well - think their goal was onside, lucky break for us and Rocky no idea what he was thinking?
Clear lack of composure and cohesion in the team most of the time, our best moments were moving forward at pace - we don't do it often enough though - 2nd half can only get better ...

[Stuart93]

We got a perfectly good penalty not given, though?

Missed that one

[Septimus]

This team reminds me of the Bobby Williamson days.

[Vault Boy]

Boyle struggles when he receives the ball deep. Teams double up on him and he's not exactly a technical dribbler. Avoid passing it to him until the last moment, where he can break the line and do the most damage.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Better this half Hibs come on :aok:

[sean04]

Take rockys mistake out of it. We are away from home. Had 60% possession. Rocky hasn’t made a save. There keeper is a lot busier than rocky. If your expecting gung ho swashbuckling attack after attack you would be better turning it off and waiting for PSG and Bayern

[Steve20]

We create next to nothing in games. For all people talk about how good we are going forward, we’re really not.

[The 90+2]

This team reminds me of the Bobby Williamson days.

Good point. Or Mixu.

[-Jonesy-]

This team reminds me of the Bobby Williamson days.

No danger

[Pretty Boy]

And everyone moaned at Stevenson for doing that most games.

The problem for Doig, and Stevenson last season, is there is no midfielder showing to take the ball in an advanced position. Doig is left with the option of getting into a foot race with his opposite number or looking inside, when no one shows he has to go all the way back.

It's frustrating because it's so blindingly obvious that it is our problem. Huge gaps across the middle of the park and no one demanding the ball. It's been said above already but we don't lack a battler, we lack someone with a real football brain to control the game. We are at our best when we have a player like that. Think Michael Stewart, Fraser Fyvie, Dylan McGeouch, John O'Neil, Boozy.....

[Andy74]

I agree. All games have been the same other than our pumping of Livi. It is what it is.

[H18 SFR]

We need Stevenson on at left back desperately.

[Sir David Gray]

Save from Marciano.

[Vault Boy]

Marciano has pulled two excellent touches out this half already.

[JammyDoidger]

With Boyle Horgan and allan I'm failing to understand why we are creating the square root of nothing!

[Pretty Boy]

Piss poor start to the 2nd half. Rocky with 2 big saves.

[bringbackbenny]

Haven't turned up for this half yet

[GreenCastle]

I just don’t see us linking up.

Full backs and wide players.

2 central midfielders.

Allan and Doidge.

Allan is tired and needs off.

It’s all bits and pieces and scrappy. We aren’t playing as a team and saints are going to score soon unless we change this.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Sir David Gray]

How was that a foul AGAINST Allan?

[Speedway]

Nope, this is Lexo football.

[Vault Boy]

How was that a foul AGAINST Allan?

Yeah, baffling

[Since90+2]

This is horrific.

[Mutu]

With Boyle Horgan and allan I'm failing to understand why we are creating the square root of nothing!

Their defence is sitting deep so Boyle and Horgan have no space to run into. Gogic and Newell need to start dictating the play a bit more. Not a huge fan of Gogic in games like this tbh.

Hoping Mallan gets some game time today. We need another source of creativity.

[Real Emerald]

How was that a foul AGAINST Allan?

Andy Walker thought it was the correct call, he’s doing my head in AGAIN!

[Pretty Boy]

Get Mallan on for Newall. If nothing else he will add a bit excitement if we get it to him within 30 yards off their goal.

[OtleyHibs]

How was that a foul AGAINST Allan?

And yet that ringing devices tip Andy walker assures his audience it was the right call 😄

[Alfred E Newman]

Allan is getting kicked all over the park with no protection from Beaton.

[hibeedonald]

He's not in the squad.

Josh Doig is having an absolute mare - everything is coming down his side from them

[bringbackbenny]

He's not in the squad.

He's definitely on bench. Initial team sheet was wrong.

[Jim44]

We’re going through a dire patch here.

[ThatDayInMay]

So slow and 2nd best all over the park. Needs to change it.

[Vault Boy]

They're pressing so high and we're not liking it. Use their momentum against them and take the chance to feint past the pressing players.

[Vault Boy]

Finally they get another booking.

[SteveHFC]

Couldn't agree more

[BlackSheep]

Sick of Andy Walker.... one of the worst commentators out there.

[Keith_M]

Happened in the first game and Hibs changed formation to compensate.

Maybe see something like that again today

[Hibs Class]

That was a decent chance for Boyle but well blocked

[Greenfly]

We're on the back foot too much just now - coupled with Walker's inane comments it's rather depressing.

[Mr Grieves]

Andy Walker really is an erse

[Vault Boy]

Ooft, another decent chance created by Doidge.

[Lendo]

Hook Doig, bring on Stevenson. He’s going to cost us a goal here

[Hibernia&Alba]

The performance has gone flat again, after a good start. We are too predictable.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Foul foul foul.

[Pretty Boy]

Sad as it is I've counted and that St Johnstone pass was the 9th from both sides that has gone straight out the park. That's passes rather than clearances or the like.

[Vault Boy]

They better not end this game with 11 men. Absolute hammer throwers.

[J-C]

Exactly, I've said it since McGinn and McGeouch left, we have no one there to simply control the ball in the middle and players who stand like statues instead of moving into space. Hard watching this tbh, I thought Ross might have been a bit more adventurous in his style of play but sadly no.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Sir David Gray]

Should be a second yellow for Hendry.

[hibee_girl]

Then we would have zero midfield defending.

Horgan again not producing.

Stevie May guaranteed to score against us.

[Brightside]

We appear to have lost the ability to just hold onto the ball.

[Vault Boy]

Horgan has been poor today. Hopefull Wright can make an impact.

[delbert]

Spot on, third game in a row where we basically have looked a shadow of the team who won the first three, particularly when trying to be creative, Allan looks like he wants to be positive but too many guys around him just going through the motions

[GreenCastle]

That's as poor a first pass Wright could make on his return! Good chance.

[HendoDelivered]

We look honking IMO. Defo in need of another 2/3 quality signings

WTF was that? At least 4 options and he passes it straight to a defender.

I think boring is definitely a better description than bad.

Early last season we were bad. Disorganised, slow and it was hard to see what each players role was. The last 3 games this season we are clearly well drilled, solid at the back, organised but lacking a player or 2 to really gel the team. The result is everything is a bit disjointed and dull.

[GreenCastle]

Doig has hardly crossed the half way line.

Thing is really don’t think Saints are up to much but we are making them look decent. Craig looking like Pirlo.

Hardly put a decent move together 2nd half.

[H18 SFR]

Every touch Doidge takes is great. Feel for him with his lack of support.

Agreed, at least we have someone deserving of man of the match. He’s been a level above everyone else today - frightening considering how poor his service has been.

Is he overweight or his illness effects him more, seems a bit of an odd one.

How newell stays on an Allan goes off is beyond me. Lack of creativity in the last 3 games is a worry.

We don't have the players to make the most out of him. We have very few midfield threats so teams can just man mark him.

When Allan played his best football we had McGeough and McGinn in the midfield with him spreading the responsibility. Newell and Gogic are substantially worse players.

[RIP]

Josh pushed off the ball again. Newell steals the ball back - think that's six times he's turned over a Saints possession only to see it wasted.

[Pretty Boy]

If we are serious about pushing for 3rd then we have to nick games like this, as we did at Tannadice. That's the foundation of Aberdeens relative success in recent years.

He had it on a good few occasions and gave it away pretty cheaply. Most are guilty of that but they are also doing ok defensively. He is a player who only seems to play well when the team does.

[J-C]

Poor passing, poor control, poor performance from too many players once more, we have the most inconsistent players in the league. Going by this performance we need at least 5 more players.

Hallberg needs a performance here in 15 mins to get us going.

[Lago]

Meanwhile Aberdeen are grinding out results.

[Vault Boy]

Good battling from Hanlon there.

[Keith_M]

I'm surprised we've not made more use of the subs, but maybe Ross doesn't have much faith in the players in the bench

[The Modfather]

Can’t say I’m in any rush to watch Hibs in person. I’ve taken to doing bits around the house and checking the updates thread instead of watching.

Newell, Horgan & Boyle (in his current form) need dropped/upgrades signed IMO.

[coco22]

That Liam Craig is a tidy player for St J....could he do a job for us?

[Pretty Boy]

Fair play to Ian Crocker. He really done his best to make 4 completed passes sound exciting there. The Mexican commentator from The Simpsons would have been proud.

[Phil MaGlass]

I had high hopes for this season but were looking pretty average, sorry, pi55 poor.

[whiskyhibby]

Has Drey Wright done anything at all?


Apart from some overhit passes, no

[weecounty hibby]

I slated Aberdeen for doing what they do but by **** I'd take that today.

[H18 SFR]

Doidge is just phenomenal. Imagine he had a supply.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Sky will stop showing our games

[we are hibs]

Boyle has been rotten

[Keith_M]

We need to re-purpose that old Arsenal song from the 90s


"Nil-Nil,
to Hibernian
Nil-Nil,
to Hibernian
...(etc)"

:singing:

I agree. The Coronavirus crowd ban is doing us fans a favour.

[CMac1988]

Boyles positioning is ****ing brutal. Never where he should be.

[GreenCastle]

Starting team was wrong - Gullan should have started.

Finally Wright doing something that a winger is meant to do.

[whiskyhibby]

Hibs coming back into it a little now

[we are hibs]

Beaton is a useless fat tit. Hows that a foul against doidge? He put his head down

[CMac1988]

Another foul against Doidge for winning the ball cleanly.

[Callum_62]

Why play advantage there?

Christian Doidge looks a bit like a young Jimmy Hill.

[Since452]

Have we ever gone five games into a season unbeaten before? 😉

[Vault Boy]

That's the first time I've seen what Wright can do when he gets going. More often please, Drey.

[GreenCastle]

Boyle has been rotten

Got a feeling his mind is elsewhere / doesn’t want to be injured stopping any potential move.

[wookie70]

Looked better since the change of shape. That was another booking if Wright went down.

[whiskyhibby]

Nice play there by Wright

[Scouse Hibee]

He's not had the ball.

The guy is not a miracle worker.

Nor should he be immune to justified criticism.

[Vault Boy]

Another foul against Doidge for winning the ball cleanly.

Exactly. Why the **** was the defender putting his head that low? Never, ever a foul.

[Phil MaGlass]

Cmon tae fu

[kaimendhibs]

That was never a foul against Doidge

Refs been the usual standard of awful.

Chance from Fk here for St J

Definitely not... the boy bent down to head it and Doidge was trying to control it at waist height... I said it earlier Beaton is shocking!!

[Green Cabbage 7]

Exactly. Why the **** was the defender putting his head that low? Never, ever a foul.

Yet to the commentary team his boot was a little high😂😂🤣🤣

[Mon Dieu4]

People that thought we were rank in the in 1st half, take note this 2nd half is what you call rank

[staunchhibby]

porteous wtf

[cabbageandribs1875]

porteous with yet another clumsy foul just outside our box

[Alfred E Newman]

If Saints don't win this I fully expect calls for a full and independent public enquiry into why the first half goal was chalked off.

[CMac1988]

Exactly. Why the **** was the defender putting his head that low? Never, ever a foul.

Drives me potty. About the only player putting himself about and he's penalised for nothing. Exact same thing happened last week and earlier in this game he was judged to have fouled a player in a 50/50 header which he won cleanly.

[GreenCastle]

Still think we will get a chance - don’t think we have had a shot in target in 2nd half.

[Sean1875]

Another brutal watch.

Everything about this game has been terrible: both teams, the officials, everything. Depressing stuff.

[BlackSheep]

Not the commentary team... ANDY ‘HOW WAS I EVER A FOOTBALLER’ WALKER.... 🤮🤮🤮

[Pretty Boy]

If the consensus is that we have to take one game at a time can I just say that our performance in this game has been utter pish.

[Keith_M]

I've got a feeling St Johnstone are gonna nick this in the last couple of minutes

[blackpoolhibs]

We have a midfield of Gocic and nothing else, a one man midfield.:rolleyes:

[Famousfivehh]

This is brutal so far.

[tonyrougier123]

Can we nick this lads and lassies??

[Callum_62]

2 games in a row that our performance levels have been really poor

Haha was thinking same myself.....get the northern hospital league on instead.

[staunchhibby]

no more than they deserve

[Phil MaGlass]

Bruutaaaaal.

[HendoDelivered]

No wonder our game is laughed at down south. I’d turn this off if it wasn’t Hibs playing.

[Sylar]

This has been horrendous. The only saving grace is that it’s still 0-0 after their 1st half goal was chalked off.

[Vault Boy]

89th minute Doidge trickler and I'll happily forget these last few performances.

[Rumble de Thump]

I'm not sure which is worse. Beaton's refereeing or Walker's commentary.

[B.H.F.C]

We were in a good position at half time to kick on. Second half has been brutal. We are very, very dull.

[hibsbollah]

People that thought we were rank in the in 1st half, take note this 2nd half is what you call rank

And we’ve got Mbappé and Lewandowski to put it all into perspective later.

[tonyrougier123]

John robertson😬

[Coco Bryce]

Another unacceptable performance.

Sort it out Jack.

[Since452]

no more than they deserve

1-0??

[Pretty Boy]

As an advert for Scottish football this isn't a good one.

Both teams have been poor, officials have been poor, Co commentator is a total fud.......
