St Mirren 0 - 3 Hibs (Nisbet, Newell, Boyle)

[GreenCastle]

Good win - especially away from home.

Not really much else to say except well done to the team and let's keep this going.

Allan / Hallberg / Mallan / Grey / McGregor / Gullan also giving us more depth.

Really hope we sign another midfielder though as Newell and Gogic won't play every game and against the Old Firm I think we need something slightly different.

[Unseen work]

Great win, thought this would be a very difficult game but we completely dominated it.

Nisbet is a great addition, offers us so much on and off the ball.

Was it just me or did some St Mirren players look like they enjoyed lockdown a bit too much? Some size :greengrin

[Hibs90]

Any word on Porteous on the radio or that?

[FilipinoHibs]

Well done Hibs. Newell outstanding. Great 3 points with the old firm in the next two games.

[GreenCastle]

Top four should be an absolute certainty this year.

Looking at the table it's certainly looking promising for top 4 and Europe.

But long way to go and instead of playing catch up last year we are getting points on the board early which takes some pressure off.

Nothing is certain with Hibs. You should know that.

More wins than Hearts managed last season

[Sean1875]

Really enjoyable and comfortable watch today, love those kind of games. Can now sit back and enjoy the Liverpool game with a beer, happy Saturday!

Gullan had a shocker when he came on. I felt sorry for the boy. Hopefully a one off.

[cabbageandribs1875]

only saw the last 30 mins so missed all the goals :( great result though, we've won our last 4 games in paisley.

in our last 20 games in paisley our record is...

W-10
D-5
L5

i've forgiven them for beating us on george best debut for us and refusing our request to switch the game to ER :greengrin

:agree: .... The world's most uncertain football club.

[AugustaHibs]

Shanley almost had a superb assist when he held off the centre half and laid it back to doidge

[Hibiza]

Fantastic result lads !!!

There is a long way to go but the quality in the league is dire. We’d really be under achieving to finish lower than that next year. Decent gap already, I think we’ll be comfortable for Europe this year given there is five places.

Never managed to catch the game today but noticed he only played 13mins, what happened that made him have so much of a shocker?

Excellent 3 points and a clean sheet too , can't really complain

[Magpie]

Fantastic result. Very happy. Bring on the Rangers.

[Tollhouse Hibee]

Hopefully Porteous is ok. He looked like he was in a lot of pain after falling awkwardly in the last few seconds. Possibly a back injury.

It didn’t look good

[tamig]

His first touch was poor just after he came on. He was then involved about 5 or 6 times after that and lost the ball every time. Just looked like a bad day at the office for him.

Whats your assessment of his performance? He was miles off it today.

FWIW I agree with you.

It's really not a big deal as we're talking about a subby's performance coming on at 3-0 up, but absolutely nothing came off for him.

Like you say, his touch was off and he gave the ball away pretty much every time he got it.

He'll know that he needs to be tidier than that if he's to force his way into the team.

Murphy was tidy all day long. Shanley had a fairly spirited appearance. Gullan wasn't on for long but he didn't really cut it today.

Just my opinion.

[Robbo6-2]

We win 3 zip and somebody wants to argue how pish our young player is coming on as a sub for 15mins.

Ffs some people need to get a grip.

Its the first time I’ve seen Shanley and he looked good in his brief cameo. Murphy looks like he’ll be an important player for us and McGinn was excellent once again.

Ryan is a clever player, a really good footballer, and has a bit of steel about him too
Missed a chunk last season with an illness, and then an ankle injury
Can play the No 10 or upfront

[Lago]

Is Porteous ok?
Thought it was him down holding his knee

[Brightside]

He was on for 13 mins. Couple of poor touches. All the strikers had multiple poor touches.

[Sean1875]

Any word on Porto? Not seen any interviews with JR out yet advising how he’s doing

He looked like he could hold it up well and nearly set Doidge up late on.

[Billy Whizz]

He likes to come short. He’ll be absolutely over the moon at getting on today. He’s only 19, and didn’t become a full time professional until he was 17

It happens. He needs to put it out of his mind and focus on preparing for the next game.

Zlamal and Bogdan are good mates. Wives get on well. Often go for dinner together. Presume that Adam introduced Bobby to Rocky. Goalies union type thing. So I suspect that Zlamal and Marciano are friends.

3 home games and 4 away yet we have 16 points. Pretty good going. If we had won all 3 home games and picked up 7 points on the road by this stage then we would be delighted. Big tests to come against the Old Firm. Not season defining but certainly an indication of where we are at.

Still very early of course but it looks like us and Aberdeen batting for 3rd. We really shouldn't finish below 4th this season.

Don't see us laying a glove on the OF but that's hardly a surprise given the money they've spent this summer.

[Hibee Mac]

Only on for a few minutes at the end but I liked the look of young Shanley. Heard his name here and there before but didn't realise he played up front.

Was refilling the cup of tea when he came on so didn't realise and I found myself saying well done Newell a good few times till I realised it was another dark haired player doing the good stuff...

Hopefully see a bit more of him going forwards, good first appearance.

Totally agree. If we are going into the home stretch in the league battling Aberdeen for 3rd then it will be good progress for the squad. Early points in the bag are great for later in the season. Look at Motherwell last season. Finished league poorly but excellent start meant they still got 3rd.

[Wheat Hound]

Thought we were excellent today. Gogic allows Newell to play more freely and both were very good.

Thought Murphy looked comfortable on the ball and used it well.

[J-C]

Working today so it was open all mics sh ite, good comprehensive win today, I'll wait till I see the highlights before I comment further on performance but it sounded like a straightforward win.

Much better balance to the team today and credit where it’s due, Newell had a much better game, maybe his best match for Hibs to date. Both he and Gogic were more forward thinking in their games, it didn’t always come off but they had intent on going forward. 2 strikers is always better for us, Boyle had a better game, Murphy looked decent. The back 4 were excellent again as was Rocky.
Massive match next week for us all to look forward to. GGTTH

[h1bs4life]

Well worth the £12.50. Great picture started watching away stream crashed after 20 mins. Over to the home stream excellent picture and decent commentary St Mirren guys were fair and complimentary to Hibs.
Good team performance defence solid again. McGinn very good not sure what is contract situ is but deserves couple of years at least.
Was a huge critic of Hanlon but he has rammed my words down my throat, hopefully he continues to.
Midfield did well, Gogic makes a huge difference . Newall was good , Murphy once he is up to speed will be an asset.
Front 2 battled well, Nisbet in the right place at the right for the ball to hit of him and in.
1st time have seen Shanley looks strong up front.
Gullan came on , felt sorry for the laddie everything he touched didnt come off , sure he came on for Nisbet up front then into midfield when Shankley came on
All in all a good a good day for Hibs.

Finished the game with 5 players on the pitch who've come through the youth system. Broadly meaningless, but the type of thing I like to see.

Caught a glimpse of Scott Allan at the end of the game ......... happy and smiling ........ didn’t look like he was in the huff or about to move on elsewhere as somebody was suggesting.

[superfurryhibby]

A lot of positives from that performance today. The defence is looking strong and both Doig and McGinn are looking very comfortable going forward. Porteous and Hanlon looked very strong (wtf was Porto doing with the handball). Gogic was strong, competed and worked hard. Newell had a fine match, here's hoping he has as much influence next week, he was very good on the ball today and played well. Murphy showed quality, he moved well and looked to have a bit of quality about him. Nisbet looked sharp on his return.

Good to see younger players getting a chance late on too, it bodes well for the future.

Watched it last night, it looks like he mistimed his jump and the ball dropped 2-3 feet lower than he expects, he had a good look at the ref and you could see the relief on his face when he realised he got away with it, even the Boyle goal which hits his elbow, got a bit of luck from the ref for a change.

Yep. A couple of helpful decisions...we don’t seem to get too many of them, still feel we are owed quite a few ..so we will happily take them.[emoji4]

I don’t think of it as meaningless. I’ve critised the academy a lot for their lack of output over the last ten years so it’s good to see that maybe they are turning a corner. Maybe.

Unfortunately Celtc play St Mirren midweek and then Livvy on the Saturday, barring any shocks they will be 3 points ahead of us and on the same points as the huns come Sunday's kick off, their goal difference is 5 ahead of ours at the moment. Sunday's game is really important for us, the longer we keep up with the bigot twins the better season we will have. I'd take 2 points from our next two games now, but I hope we can get more.

[jgl07]

I wouldn't start Newell, he's been poor recently, if he's going 2 in the middle then I'd give Hallberg a game, just my choice.

I hope you slag off Newell again before the Rangers match!
