Soft touches.

It’s a label that many hibs teams have had thrown at them over the years. Not any more.

Not for about 6 years now tbf.

Not for about 6 years now tbf.Not really true given the daft goals we've been losing over the past couple of seasons (up until this one of course).

We will always have the odd off day. I just hope the usual suspects can keep hold of a little perspective when it does happen.

Losing daft goals doesn't make you soft IMO. Every team loses daft goals. More to do with poor coaching IMO. Its amazing what a difference this season has been with basically the same personnel.

Stubbs and Lennons sides lost soft goals but were anything but soft.

The rangers are soft touches. Rangers'd it!

It's not worth arguing about as everyone will have their own definition.

Yeah, that is maybe true. That being said, I think the main reason we were always under pressure late on was because of poor coaching, not keeping the ball, not setting up properly. That is the route cause rather than a mentality issue.

For me it’s the fact we now have a harder edge to our play, we’re not afraid to mix it when we need to. At times we’ve looked good but ended up being bullied by big physical teams, no one will bully us this season.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

We've been mentally tough since the summer ot 2014 when Dempster and Stubbs came in

We'll lose silly goals (all teams do) but folk need to keep the heed if and when our players do make silly mistakes

[Carheenlea]

The amount of late goals we conceded last term was a concern and cost us a few places in the league. We looked mentally and physically strong in the closing stages today after a very tough game.

Most encouraging.

I agree, we looked nasty and a bit dirty at times. It was great to watch a hibs team do what they normally do with an edge to them.

Hanlon, Porteous, Gogic, Newell, Nisbet and Doidge is one hell of a spine to the team. All work hard and all get stuck in.

100% correct, but if we keep it up, I'm sure the refs will finally start to give us more cards to stop us!!!!
