Really crap to lose the win right at the end, no doubt about that.

But another really good performance. Same on Wednesday and we'll win easily. If we continue to improve and play like that we'll win plenty of games.

Numerous chances to finish this one off, some great saves from Utd keeper though. Frustrating game.

Who said otherwise?

Have we played as well as today in all of those games? If we had we'd have won more of them.

Sore result but if you actually look at the bigger picture, we'll a really good side. They're keeper had a real blinder and our strikers (not just Doidge) missed good chances. It wont happen every week.

Took the literal odds of a draw at half time and stuck a tenner on the draw at 5/1. Printing money quite frankly.

Not sure we’ll be able to win easily against this St Mirren side. 11 unbeaten and another good result for them today.

We played well but the only thing that matters come the end of the season is the points total and our home record is simply not good enough.

Right, but its not the end of the season, is it? If we play consistently like today, gaining points will be no issue.

What's the point of good performances if you cant turn them into 3 points? and this isn't the first time this season at Easter Road. We dropped 2 points against Celtic from 2 - 0 up. We blew a 2 - 0 lead against St Johnstone and now we have drawn a game we should have been out of sight in before half time. We played really well against Aberdeen and lost a game we should at least have drawn .... even at home to Hamilton we ended up clinging on in a game we had been strolling.

We have dropped 6 points at home in games we should have won and if we hadn't we would be 5 points ahead of Celtic and 8 points ahead of Aberdeen. Forget Celtic, realistically we wont finish above them, but the big challenge for this club for years has been to supplant Aberdeen as the leagues 3rd best team, this is a season where it's looked possible, but we are blowing it with inexcusable results like this.

I'm not dissing the actual performance, for most of that game we were excellent, but to play like that and not win is massively frustrating .... There has to come a point where you stop being 'encouraged' by good performances and start asking why these performances are producing draws rather than wins ... even in the Scottish cup semi we were the better team, but still bloody lost. Today should have the manager at least asking questions, because it's not good enough.

We came back twice against St Johnstone. We were never ahead.

We've turned plenty of good performances into wins this season. We've won 9 league games and 6 more in the league cup. 15 wins in all competitons before new year has happened twice in the last 20 years. 2000/2001 and 2015/16 (in the championship).

We've made serious progress and we're a really good side. There will be a few bumps along the way.

I couldn’t care less what our record is at home/away, more concerned at the overall picture.

Right now we’re 3rd in the league and that’s all that matters, it doesn’t make a difference where we get our points.

I think this is a general feeling. We can’t close the game out or finish teams as well as we should, particularly at home, and given our performances. We’ve come on but we ain’t the finished article by a long way. Definitely good enough for 4th but 3rd? Not so sure.

Take our away record and add to all our home games if they were all victories

Now that’s better

I stand corrected on the St Johnstone game, but it's still the sort of home game you need to win to be serious challengers.

It's the home form that's so annoying ... in most seasons draws at home against the arse cheeks would be good results, but whats the point of the enormous effort we put into both these games if you are going to blow home matches like we did today? I suppose it puts one theory to bed, it's clearly not the Hibs crowd oozing nervousness down onto the pitch that accounts for this clubs historic ability to chuck matches away in the last 10 minutes.

Puts me in mind of the derby where Ozturk scored that late worldy equaliser for them in a game Hibs dominated from bloomin' start to finish, even before they went down to 10 men.

Sigh :confused:

Yep, good summary. 4th is already secured IMO, and good progress, but we’re not ruthless enough for 3rd unless Aberdeen drop below their level of the last number of years.

On balance, I’d rather be carelessly dropping points, sitting third in the league than haemorrhaging points while sitting, say third or fourth bottom of the league. Aberdeen are realistically the ones to look at over our shoulder and, while I’m disappointed and frustrated, I’m still sleeping well at night.

Is either of nisbet or doidges sitters go in (which 4 times out of 5, both would) then we'd all be sitting going on about how well we played.

Frustrating game but it's the usual suspects just wanting to stick the boot in and moan. How anyone can have a major problem with jack Ross and the current team when we're on track for our highest ever points total is beyond me.

Sometimes you have to applaud a brilliant performance and the Dundee United keeper had a worldie of a performance. 10/10 from him and he earned his team a point.

We'll gain points from a game like that in the future too. It happens.

Utd always seem to unearth a very good keeper . Aye, it’s a gutter to draw but it was a good performance and on another day, could easily have been a 4 plus win .
Losing the goal in injury time is sore but we have scored the greatest injury time goal ever 😁

No defender of the OP normally, but I can’t say I follow the impact of post #2 other than believing it to be an account of home form at one loss in eight and that’s incl two games v the OF.
But a bang average season this far would have us around 6th - 8th, not 3rd. I understand that.

Without crowds I don’t think home advantage counts for much at the moment. In all my time watching the Hibs I don’t think we’ve won as many games away from home before Christmas , certainly not in the top league. I would imagine most clubs will look forward to playing on a good wide pitch like Easter Road without being intimidated by the home crowd. We will feel the same heading for Ibrox next week.

My point is we could easily have won both games against the OF and the other games we should be winning anyways

We could shudda also had a Scottish Cup Final to look forward to tomorrow and thank god for Stevie Mallan or we would’ve been out the League Cup to a bunch of part timers as that performance was not good

All very hypothetical all those games we should be winning and might’ve lost, as it ever was.

In a couple of years time all those stats you’re looking up for your ‘this day in history’ stuff will only tell the story of for or against.

You agree that the season is better than bang average though?
