Jack Ross

[Northernhibee]

Defo our best manager since Stubbs, potentially longer than that. Got most of today right, got the subs right, got the summer signings and is able to change the shape during a game.

Really confident with him at the helm.

[yerauldda]

Saw that we were sitting too deep and made some excellent substitutions.

[AugustaHibs]

Showed he’s not scared of the OF today. Massive respect for that alone. Great performance and good result

[neil7908]

After having a concerns about our style of play, the last two games have been hugely impressive. Without two key players as well.

[hibsbollah]

Moving Lewis on changed the game. Ross beat Gerrard tactically today.

[Magpie]

Will judge him at the end of the season but he has been good so far. Seems to have a great relationship with the players which is brilliant to see.

[Since452]

I've got a good feeling about this

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Moving Lewis on changed the game. Ross beat Gerrard tactically today.

With nowhere near the budget

Well said

[TelaStella]

Thought he got it absolutely spot on today. We looked cautious and a little hesitant at times but always calm and assured with the full capabilities of attacking and doing the required damage. Shape was strong and for all the pre game worries we had about the midfield area I thought the boys in there done more than enough. 2 goals were deserved but the two Nesbitt chances could and probably should of gave us 3. Great performance and result that the Gaffer should be delighted with

Since he joined last November we’ve won more, scored more and have a higher points tally than every club bar Celtic and Rangers.

This is the best start to a season we’ve made in years. 8 games, 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Think some under-appreciate just how much Rangers have spent this past year and the start they’ve had to the season.

Kent, Hagi, Morelos, Roofe, Itten and evening bringing on an older Defoe are incredible options and cost them a hell of a lot of money.

It’s about time he started getting the respect he deserves.

Hes been brilliant since he came in especially when you think how bad we were under Heckingbottom.

Also a big fan of his recruitment and type of player he goes for.

Been a revelation for me.but I’m not surprised.good balanced manager,no bewildering line ups.the signings have all slotted in nicely.handling young Doig well,showing if ur good enough you will play.still feel he is to sign a real marquee type signing,but maybe he doesn’t need to do that when building his teams.always been impressed by Ross and how he handles things.i would say defo he will realise his dream of being Scotland gaffer one day.hopefully after some very successful years at Hibernian.

Competed very well against the form team in the league with an infinitely bigger budget than us. Credit to Ross.

[Keith_M]

People raised concerns that, even though we were getting the points on board, the style of play wasn't great. He said the same thing in an interview himself and the last two games have shown that he's addressed that.

I hope the people that previously posted about being "underwhelmed" and that JR "flatters to deceive" and is "bang average" are eating their words by now.

[dp00]

Look he enjoyed the result at the end too, either that or gerrard was taking the hump and he found it funny

Absolutely. He looked proud as punch at the end of the match. Rangers are still a big money spending big club and Jack matched them. He's every right to be happy.

The cup semi final is the big one. Win that and he will have many plaudits. Will probably avoid this place if we lose.

I had reservations about the semi too...knowing how hearts always seem to bully us, but after today I'm filled with confidence.
There are no bigger ,'power' teams than rangers and we stood up to them today.
sent them home with chins bouncing off the ground and complaining about us being 'brutes'
Changed days and the new mentality must be the product of the manager.

I'm not going to get into any "best manager since XYZ" debate, but he's currently the only I'm interested in.

I've been very impressed by him - in how he conducts himself, how he sets up the team, makes changes during it, dresses etc.

There have been some Hibs managers that I'm embarrassed by what I hear them say or how they react to adverse situations, but I don't have such issues with Jack Ross. I'm glad he's at Hibernian FC.

Agree hugely impressed with what he’s doing this season and looking forward to seeing where we go after he gets and few windows to work the squad the way he wants it.

I would like to see us chase and press a bit more when the other team have the ball though, just feel against Motherwell aberdeen and yesterday if we put a bit more pressure on the ball at times we could have benefited.

All n all though Jack Ross deserves huge credit for our start to the season and hopefully the club can back him before the window shuts so he can keep it going

Got the impression he was laughing at the reaction probably from that knob Beale who kicked it all off when we last met Rangers at ER.

[B.H.F.C]

He’s got us on the right path, definitely.

Still needs to solve the midfield issue, for me. There were loads of good things yesterday but the one negative was our ability to keep hold of the ball which makes things more difficult for us.

Likes the fact that he stressed, after the game, that we weren’t celebrating getting a draw or anything like that.

[Since452]

His points haul since he got the job is nothing short of fantastic. Credit where it's due.

[lucky]

He’s learning all the time and is a good manager, he’s made Hibs hard to beat but said previously that the performances will come. I liked that he admitted that he should have brought Stevenson on earlier and change the shape and was kicking himself for not doing before their second goal. This could be a very good season for us.

....


Totally agree, as these kind of threads usually degenerate into arguments on what Lennon, Stubbs, Hecky achieved and could have done better.

We should just be happy that we're currently doing well and enjoy it while it lasts.

Hopefully it puts some credit in the bank for when things aren't going as well and we don't go overboard with the criticism.

[Since452]

That's what I thought. Trying hard not to piss himself laughing at Gerrards raging face. Thought it was marvelous. Same with Porteous pissing himself at Morelos at every opportunity and Gerrard at the end. Shows we couldn't give two ****s about their "WATP" persona. Love it. Great for team unity as well.

Most importantly for a club of our stature, a decent dresser. Not frightened to go off-label. I’d like to know more about his shoe choices. I can understand mainstream sports media channels not making them a feature of their televised coverage, but not Hibs TV. More shoes please.

Probably some really nice chelsea boots. Something that makes a big statement, namely "look at me, I'm wearing some really nice chelsea boots".

Should have done it earlier by his own admission, which was fair enough.

I remain convinced by him. He is the real deal.

He says that Sunderland had an issue with him refusing to wear branded training wear in the dug out.

Obviously Hibs colours are a lot more tasteful but he is clearly a man who knows his own mind.

I like the cut of your jib, but we have to overhaul Ross’s wardrobe to make Chelsea boots work stylistically. I’d be inclined to suggest checked trousers and maybe a long leather trenchcoat.

This increases his status further in my eyes.

The footwear issue still needs resolved but looking good so far. His attire makes more statements than the boards of Hearts and Rangers combined.

There is a reason why Brendan Rodgers loves him and wanted him to join his coaching staff.

Never knew that - but then again both Ian Cathro and Hecky have good coaching jobs at big teams.

Jack Ross in terms of personality seems to have a bit more about him though which is what you need. I’m excited for the future as we seem to have a good core squad and a manager who can read the game and make changes if needed.

Love these in-depth tactical interviews. Really gives you a great insight in to the complexity of match preparation.

[Dashing Bob S]

Ross actually manages to rock the white track top to the extent I even wanted one myself. Unusual to find a manager who looks acceptable in any club sporting wear. I suspect Jack has checked his look and insisted its the white/grey top only.

Any pictures of his shoes?

Not sure about yesterday but I noticed them last week.

Plain white trainers with no obvious branding on them. Looked smart and I’m guessing they were more cruise than Cameron toll, struggle to describe them any more than that though.

Sorry.

Just watched that now - it was brilliant, thank you.

He’s good, isn’t he?

I liked the bit at the end about the significance of it all to the players - we had a plan, we carried it out, this is a manager we can trust.

I also like his awareness of vulnerabilities and the wee bit of gamble involved.

No need for apologies. I both applaud and appreciate your efforts.

The trainers are Common Projects. £260. 😂

Chelsea boots underneath a pair of plain or patterned narrow fitting suit trousers, tapering down to a 16'' bottom, sitting level with the ankle would be the perfect match.

What worries me is that takes away from the intitial statement of "I'm wearing some really nice Chelsea boots" and changes it to "Look at me, I'm wearing a trenchcoat and some really nice boots". Two totally different messages.

On a serious note, when we were first crying out to get rid of Hecky and replace him with Jack Ross, I seen it back then as a bit out of the frying pan and into the fire - someone who'd work well at his first club but not with anyone after that. Kind of how Alan Stubbs has really sadly turned out, but I didn't see it working with us.

Been completely wrong. So impressed with how he's made us such a versatile, balanced team with a relatively small squad of players. We can't be easy to prepare against as even with the same starting eleven there are a number of shapes that we can play and switch between.

Great watch and just lets you see how thin a line there is between success and failure in matches Also gives an understanding as to why managers stick with players that supporters cannot fathom why theyve not been dropped. If a player is carrying out the instructions a manager has given them then the manager will trust and stick with him even though it appears like he isn’t playing well or within himself. I think Joe Newell is a good example of this. Earlier in the season he was copping a bit of flak for hiding or not being involved enough. Joe then went out and had a great game and in the post match interview JR mentioned that Joe had been given more licence to get forward than in previous games. Joe was obviously adhering to team orders in previous games which restricted his natural game but did the job he was asked to well enough to continue to get selected.

[matty_f]

I think we won a watch when we got Jack Ross on board, I will be honest and say that I was nervous about the prospect of him taking over at Hearts, as he would (IMHO) have saved them from relegation - you just have to look at our respective positions when Ross took over here and where both teams ended up to see the impact he had.

His results are excellent as well, of course there is the odd blip (the derby at Easter Road being the most obvious one), however we have consistently picked up points and I think it's still the case that since taking over, Ross has accumulated more points than any manager outside of Rangers and Celtic. Considering that he's been here a while now, that's an impressive stat and bodes well for our campaign.

I like what he says as well, he's usually very measured with his comments, sometimes what he doesn't say is as telling as what he does, but I think he's very articulate and intelligent and these are two attributes that are hugely important when it comes to commanding the dressing room and giving the players trust in what you're doing.

My big hope is that he sees Hibs as being the equivalent to Aberdeen for McInnes - a long term project with the backing of the board to deliver year on year. I know Brendan Rogers is a huge fan, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see Celtic come after him at some point, hopefully that's after a good number of years of success at Easter Road.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Big fan of Ross.

When he makes subs, they often make the difference. He can notice when he's got it wrong in a game and change it to help us.

He is consistent with his selections also which I like. And we are signing proven experienced players who know the Scottish game.

Put all the above together and it is no surprise we are doing well - these are all the marks of teams that find themselves in the top 3/4.

His win % is very consistent across jobs all which had a good degree of pressure/ expectation, moulding himself as a future Scotland manager I have little doubt :aok:

[Sioux]

Maybe some on here that forever come out with JR's 'tactics were wrong, he should have played 3-5-2', or whatever, will see this video and realise that the formation and the tactics within the formation are two completely different aspects.

I think we currently have the most sartorial manager in the Premier League. But JR has to be careful; he's currently favouring a turtle neck that could easily spill over into a Mulligan and O'Hare look if he let's himself go. However, sporting a G9 with a good pair of Chelsea boots for the winter, I have faith he'll pull of the McQueen look effortlessly.

Then ditch the Chelsea boots for a pair of Sanders - Suede Chukka Boots. At only £200.00 a pair, i'm sure JR could afford them.:greengrin

To be honest, if he goes full Mulligan and O’Hare I’m jumping straight on that bandwagon. :greengrin
