Hibs Vs St Mirren Official Match Thread

[Peevemor]

I'm with you, can see why it could be given but very unlucky, he was just trying to hold the guy off.And there was no reason for the guy to drop like he did.

[Aldo]

Tbh it was poor judgement by Doidge after what appears to be a very frustrating and poor evening from him!

Missed a very very important match on Boxing Day.

Once again we're sitting far too deep, allowing St Mirren into this game when they should be nowhere near it. Midfield have looked leggy for the last 20 mins and needed a couple of changes to counter St Mirren.

Doidge being a dick and 2nd yellow, only seen the 2nd half but he's been very poor from what I've seen lots of running the channels but can't keep hold of the ball and never seems to do anything with the ball when he gets it.

He was a bit silly, can’t really complain about it.

[GreenCastle]

5 minutes seems excessive.

Can’t remember last time we made 5 passes.

[Hibby70]

easy saying it after the event but...doidge should have been subbed 10 mins before that 2nd card

Agree he'd been struggling.

[Jones28]

Loosing the head here, same as Saturday, aimless hoofs forward.

[heretoday]

We're not great at "game management".

[Andy74]

There was fault there. That is why I am seeing it. It has now cost us

A bit soft. Poor play from Gullan to cause the incident. If that was Doidge I’m sure it would have been mentioned...

[Pretty Boy]

He was a bit silly, can’t really complain about it.

That's it for me. Not an elbow, not malicious. Just bloody stupid and can have no complaints at all about the 2nd booking.

[Since452]

Be a confidence boost if we see this out

[cabbageandribs1875]

just blootering the ball up the park, not nice viewing

just comes straight back

[Heisenberg]

Panic stations here. No composure.

[Peevemor]

That wasn't a foul.

[660]

Saturday is playing on the players minds obviously

[GreenCastle]

Play like this at Ibrox and it will be 3 or 4 nil against.

[easty]

He was a bit silly, can’t really complain about it.

Nah, can’t complain but he did what he’d be expected to do, just did it too clumsily.

[WhileTheChief..]

This is torture.

[Hermit Crab]

Full time 1-0 :thumbsup:

Full time!! No idea why we are panicking so much when ahead. Need to calm down a bit. Good win all the same.

Well done Hibs. But panicky but they never really had a clear cut chance in the last 10.

Good 3 points but the injury to Rocky and the suspension for Doidge put a bit of a downer on it.

[660]

[Vault Boy]

Really good to see out a home win. Particularly against such an in form side.

Contrary to Hermit Crab's nonsense, it's bad news to lose Doidge - on top of Marciano and Magennis. Hopefully the injuries aren't too bad.

[RossScott1991]

Hard fought victory that. Stevenson was good. Boyle good. Doidge was poor. Though we will go 1 upfront at ibrox anyway with boyle looking to play off nisbet so not a massive loss for our match

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

That was garbage but will take the win.

[Sir David Gray]

Not great but a vital home win against a team that hasn't lost for quite a long time.

[Keith_M]

Well, that's a blessed relief. One piece of class surrounded by dross.


Gies peace

[J-C]

Take the win but we just cannot finish of teams and we cannot see out games comfortably, poor game management again but we got away with it this time.

[The Spaceman]

A good win against a good and in-form side. Jack Ross really has given consistency against the smaller sides which we badly lacked before!

[Since452]

Same old Hibees. Always winning.

[HH81]

Tight game. Good result onto boxing day.

Get in there.

[Magpie]

Job done. Rangers away is going to be difficult, hopefully we turn up and give everything we got.

[Stuart93]

You followed hibs for a while?

Haha aye too long! Thankfully we managed

[wookie70]

Great result against a more than decent Buddies team. Defence were very good again only really conceding one good chance. Newall excellent as was Boyle and a top finish from Nisbet unlike one of his other attempts. Doidge probably needed rested anyway but he has left us short for two bookings that were both easily avoided. Special mention to Barnes who did really well coming on and doing everything that was needed of him.

[Mon Dieu4]

Good result against a decent enough team, mad it harder than it needed to be but well done Hibs

[PeeJay]

Pretty dire stuff, but 3 points are ok ... Doidge really should know better, hasn't done us any good with his pointless action ...

[GreenCastle]

St Mirren haven’t even had 4 chances to score.

Sitter head.
Obika lob.

Both teams had 4 shots on target and Saints had 13 attempts to our 10.

Plus Huns better team all round. Not defeatist but we need to play better - would take a draw at Ibrox if we are missing a few players including 2 key players in Doidge and Marciano.

[cabbageandribs1875]

still 12 points ahead of dundee utd and 14 ahead of murrawell if that stays the same



watching that game now

[jellybean]

Typical Hibs, seeing the game out for another win.

Defended well tonight apart from maybe their one clear cut chance but you’ll take that against a team who’ve been in great form

Hopefully with doidge having been sent off JR floods the midfield at Ibrox

Marciano (if fit)

McGinn
Porteous
Hanlon

Wright
Magennis (if fit)
Hallberg
Newell
Stevenson

Boyle
Nisbet

That’s the team I can see Ross choosing.

[CmoantheHibs]

Not as good a performance as Saturday but a better result. Will take that. St Mirren looked a better side than united.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

was pretty impressed by St Mirren to be honest

Cameron McPherson best player on the park

Agreed. That was a different team to the one that we swept away 0-3 at their place.

[Stevie Reid]

Probably deserved four points from the two games, based on the performances. Delighted with that tonight.

Doidge will be a big miss on Saturday.

[Hiber-nation]

Good to see us grind it out but not the best performance. Doidge should know better, lost the ball deep inside our half to put us under pressure then ends up sent off, really poor by him.

Newell and Boyle both really good again. Paul McGinn solid as a rock.

[Robbo6-2]

Great 3 points.

Any word on Magennis?

[GRA]

A win against the form team in the league. I'll take that and back to 3rd. Think that's us unbeaten in 9 now?

[yerauldda]

Lol. Not even close to Newell or Nisbet.

[SaulGoodman]

You should have watched link 2, there was some decent football being played.

I watched link 3 and turned it off after 87 minutes so I could beat the traffic.

[Jim44]

Job done. Rangers away is going to be difficult, hopefully we turn up and give everything we got.

:agree: Sounds a bit daft, but the loss of a couple of regulars against Rangers might not be the end of the world. They’ll be odds on favs. and we might just spring a surprise with a more makeshift team. I would have been more worried about a game against a lesser team with our injuries and suspension.

[GreenCastle]

Saints were on a great run.

Winning was important after Utd game.

Also a confidence boost if we happen to meet them in the final...

As other said Ibrox was going to be tough but sometimes depleted squads get results so fingers crossed.

[JohnMcM]

Phew! Happy to see that one out and get the three points.

A special mention must be made for Greenfly (who I think is really Jack Ross) for getting the prediction league score correct again. Well done Jack.:greengrin

[Since452]

Brilliant performance at the weekend - draw
Average tonight - win

Swings and roundabouts

[MWHIBBIES]

Aberdeen toiling at a venue we won easily. Wonder if they'll sign a player like Doidge who can make a difference in games like Motherwell away, enabling them to challenge us for 3rd.

[Stevie Reid]

16 wins and four defeats from 26 games this season

[Baldy Foghorn]

Good 3 points, not pretty but we were so good on Saturday and only drew. Mental game

[Potty78]

Great three points giving us 15/24 from second round of fixtures. Ibrox will be tough absolutely but we can go there with confidence. Looking ahead if we can take care of livi and county at home then that would give us 21 the same we got with first round so pretty decent. Two late goals at home have cost us but that happens.

[Baldy Foghorn]

A good result against a tough opponent but christ that was difficult to watch.

[Hibs90]

Honestly thought the referee was a shambles. Couldn’t wait to even the score. Was never a dirty game and it was never a red card. Goodwin has them playing quite well. Take the 3 points but would have been a lot easier if Nisbet buried his chance

Was that a comfortable last 15 mins? did the same at the weekend and dropped 2 points, we looked very comfortable until they made their subs and we sat back and invited them onto us, midfield looked a bit leggy near the end and our subs were late. A good win but we really need to be seeing these game out better.

[Keith_M]

Now nine games unbeaten. Some poor finishing nearly cost us but at least we held out in the end.


Anybody else think we should have had a penalty?

[GreenCastle]

Opening up a good gap with 5th position also.

Top 4 make Europe right ?

Like 1-0 to the Arsenal, take this score everytime, well most of the time :-)

[Magpie]

Really good. It’s a shame that we conceded late goals against Celtic and Dundee Utd but we are in 3rd at Christmas and that has always been our aim.

[givescotlandfreedom]

That's a good win given their form. After Saturday I'm just glad we got it over the line.

I can understand you saying that about the Utd game, but not tonight.

Saw the game out fine. The losing team will always throw everything at it late on. Not a single chance after the sitter that the Turkish lad missed.

[Peevemor]

Now nine games unbeaten. Some poor finishing nearly cost us but at least we held out in the end.

[Iggy Pope]

I’ve got him on ignore but still see the ****ing nonsense he posts when folk reply, so gonnae no 😂

That really doesn’t happen in my experience. Ignore stays ignored even when it’s quoted. And he’s been ignored for a while now, since he came back in fact.

[ancient hibee]

Vv
Unless we press harder in midfield it’s only a matter of time before they equalise.Far too many balls being played into our area behind the defence. Far too many loose clearances down the centre of the park.If Ross wants to give Magennis game time he can’t play Stevenson. Thete’s absolutely nothing going forward down the left. Doidge,Nisbet and Boyle are all doing well but the service from behind is very slow.


They’ve done nothing to suggest they’re score in a matter of time. Nothing at all.

Immediately after you posted they missed an absolute sitter:greengrin

We were far too slack and gave them the ball back all night.

[Andy74]

Yeah Aberdeen will never challenge for 3rd with results like that....

[we are hibs]

Actually think thats a pretty big and good win in some ways. Our home record hasnt been great so its good to get a win and also we managed to keep a clean sheet. We need to start putting these games to bed though, particularly at Easter Road. If we can replicate our away form at home then we should have enough for 3rd.

[flash]

Have to say Joe Newall is absolutely imperious just now. A pleasure to watch.

Well Done Hibs - a great 3 points.

Plenty positives.

Boyle looking at his best - it has got to the John McGinn stage where he is cynically brought down all too often as the only way to stop him.
Newell had a great game again and had some great moments.
Nisbet back on the scoresheet.
Porteous solid as a rock all game.
Another clean sheet - as tidy they were on the ball really never created all that much second half that I can recall.

Great to head into Christmas third in the table. Great progress for us and that wraps up a positive year for Hibernian on the field.

Have a good one Hibby's everywhere :flag:

Criticise the last 15 mins by sitting deep and lumping balls back at them, I'd like us to see out games more comfortably, it's still a good 3 points against a decent enough team.

[wookie70]

I read on here Saturday night that our home form was making us bang average as well. Can’t recall which thread. Maybe we are better than bang now. Our home form is stopping it being a very special season so far. Too many draws from games we could easily have won. No complaints overall with 3rd at Christmas though. That is better than our budget should buy so Ross is doing a very good job and I get the feeling we still have some improvement in us particularly with a signing or two. We need to make sure we have better options up front as tonight has shown how easily one of those options is lost for the next game

Decent enough defensive performance. Apart from the goal the lack of quality up-front was frustrating.

[Jones28]

Criticise the last 15 mins by sitting deep and lumping balls back at them, I'd like us to see out games more comfortably, it's still a good 3 points against a decent enough team.

Like we did against Motherwell and Accies?

It’s a far cry from last season.

[Stevie Reid]

Really good. It’s a shame that we conceded late goals against Celtic and Dundee Utd but we are in 3rd at Christmas and that has always been our aim.

It is, though I think we were quite fortunate to get the win at McDairmid Park, and judging by tonight, we benefitted quite a bit from St. Mirren having so many players out for our away game there.

Think our points total is a fair reflection of how good we are.

[BILLYHIBS]

And if we were second people would be complaining we weren’t first.

James McFadden said it on Sportscene and I believe him

If we had held out against Celtic and United both at home 6 points in the bag sooo much better

Who am I to doubt him ?

[jacomo]

Was nervous that it would be a repeat of Dundee Utd last time out - well on top but suffering a late equaliser.

I like the way we are going but I think we need a touch more composure to get another goal or two when we are on top. Hopefully this will come.

Lewis MOTM with Boyle close behind but special mention for Drey Wright who did well amidst heavy criticism.

agree with that :aok:

Wonder if on the Aberdeen version of this site folk are moaning that because they couldn't win at Fir Park like Hibs they're doomed to finish 4th.

You wouldn’t want to venture onto any of their fans forums, this place is a kindergarten compared to the Dons

Ifs a picture paints a thousand words. If we’d only held out against Hadjuk, if only Mickey hadn’t got that suspension, if only Brownlie hadn’t broken his leg, if only Eddie had retired instead of breaking up the team then signing Duncan Lambie and getting us relegated....:wink:

[lucky]

Worked hard and got the points. But it should serve as a warming that the league cup is still wide open between the four teams.

Aside from folk on here desperate to emulate them I do think the sheep are kidding themselves on if they think anyone else will do a better job than bogey muncher has.

[A Hi-Bee]

I think Goodwin is a really good coach. I think he’ll move to a higher level club in due course...

Who knows he may well end up at Easter Road some day!

It was a decent performance, we won against a team who have beaten Aberdeen and Rangers recently
They only started with one up front, so had plenty of midfielders
Over the 90 mins, think we limited them to only 1/2 chances

[Andy74]

Suspect he is very high on our succession planning list.

Yep very good win against a team on an 11 game unbeaten run and have recently won against Rangers Aberdeen and Motherwell. Nisbet scores the second and it is comfortable. Defended well and limited them to next to no chances.

I thought so too. We weren't as good as we have been in the league lately but that had as much to do with St Mirren as us. Some very good individual performances tonight but we didn't quite click in attack. Again we saw some subs come on and do well which I think is really helping us in general. Players from midfield and defence know that there is someone there working to get their spot and it is pushing them on. The same can't be said for the forwards who are pretty much guaranteed starters if Ross goes two up. That isn't their fault but we need a third striker in who has similar attributes to Doidge imo

No there wouldn’t.

Yep. Fenlon wanted him but he seen the team as a circus with relegation potential and was better suited staying put. He wasn’t wrong.

IF we had kept all of our players we would have won countless Cups and Leagues but we are hibbies it is the hope that kills you

That is half the fun

[Northernhibee]

No there wouldn’t.

You're right, they'd go missing from the boards like the usual suspects do when we're winning.

[BSEJVT]

Yes!

Well done Hibs. But panicky but they never really had a clear cut chance in the last 10.

Good 3 points but the injury to Rocky and the suspension for Doidge put a bit of a downer on it.

Not sure Porteous isn’t hurt either

Got left for dead a few times 2nd half and that isn’t at all like him

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Does anyone seriously doubt that?

[B.H.F.C]

Thought the first half was decent, second half not so.

We really need another forward option. I think lack of options to freshen things up hinders us.

[Andy74]

Does anyone seriously doubt that?

I don’t think anyone does.

Seems to be a bit of an effort to tell people that it isn’t going to be easy, despite virtually no one assuming it will be in any way easy.

and the fact that Boyle’s pass, which was almost behind him, made his first touch difficult, yet he managed to gather it and get it away with tremendous skill.
