Hibs v Ross County

[Lago]

Well that was exciting, then again maybe not. Long way to go before they are a decent team.

[vuefrom1875]

David Tanner congrats to Yogi.

Get this clown to ****!

And he's a Hun!

[Squealing pig]

Set plays r an issue , started well too , same old hibs

[Smartie]

Absolutely terrible performance and result.

Hard to know where to start with what went wrong as it was all wrong.

Goalkeeper didn't have much chance at either goal.

Beaten in the dugout, beaten at both ends of the park, beaten in midfield.

Good result against St Mirren aside that has turned into a disappointing few games for us.

We're needing much better from some of our biggest players than what we got tonight.

[Sir David Gray]

Just said it again.

He's at the wind up here 🤡

What an arse.

[ancient hibee]

Lose semi final or final and Ross is very close to being gone (or at least losing a large amount of support).

4th in a poor league isn’t exactly something to write home about.

As two of the four will be the OF and the other one will be Aberdeen where do you think we should finish?

[One Day Soon]

It’s not a fact tho or he wouldnt be captain. Maybe these stupid managers can’t see what you see?


I don't know what he sees but I know what I see. A captain that doesn't even attempt to boss the referee, does not make himself heard on the park, doesn't call players out for phoning in performances or make them scared to do so and doesn't look like a leader on the park. Not his fault, he's just not captain material.

[EI255]

If we lose to Livingston he can go.He'll be under pressure, that's for sure.

Why not congratulate Hughes? Lashing out after that result is understandable, but pretty desperate to go after Tanner.

[Coco Bryce]

Alex Miller questioning your tactics must be the ultimate embarrassment as a manager.

[Since90+2]

Ross should go if we lose to Livingston is literally the most ridiculous thing I've read on here. And that's saying something.

[One Day Soon]

It is an exaggeration.

Delighted to know who you think was a weaker captain?

[A Hi-Bee]

If we lose that league cup semi-final Ross can go.

To be replaced by who?

[number9dream]

What a downer to finish the year on... You have to seriously question the attitude of all involved.

[MWHIBBIES]

Porteous is no better than Jordan Foster


Do you actually believe that?

Forster never ever had a run of form like Ryan has this season. He was generally dreadful. If he was under 6ft he wouldn't be a footballer. Ryan has more ability in his left foot.

[Billy Whizz]

If we lose to Livingston he can go.
Behave, we are 4th in the League

[Robbo6-2]

Is there ever been a player that either plays really well or really bad for a prolonged period in Diodge.

When hes playing like this he is an absolute donkey. Shocking performance tonight.

He's under pressure now as our home form is amongst the worst in the league.

A european cup winning coach? I'd hardly say thats embarrassing.

[wookie70]

Garbage performance but we still created enough chances to win. Both our finishing and passing/crossing in the final third is terrible. Big mistake from Hanlon tonight but I feel for him as we are getting punished for his and other mistakes by conceding goals while our forward players need 4 chances to score or not as the case tonight. Ross has a bad habit of putting subs on and making us worse although the bench is a bit short of options possibly because of signing players who are injury prone. We still have a good chance of a successful season but the players and Ross need to have a sit down and work out how a performance like tonight can happen. The result was poor but barring the first 10 mins the performance was as bad as it gets

[chrisski33]

If we lose that league cup semi-final Ross can go.
Maybe Doidge can go to after missing so many shots on goal

[Since90+2]

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Maybe now Sheffield will be looking at Ollie Shaw instead of Nesbit???

On that display, so they should.

[Nicho87]

You can see why Sunderland got rid anyway

[Bobo]

Laughable, the inherent substandard Hibs performances persist where piss poor attitudes rear their heads and our underachieving midtable wannabes return to type because they don't have the guts for the fight.

How many times have they produced zero football against supposed weaker opponents, Hibs never learn.

Tonight's performance is all the evidence required that Hibs have absolutely no chance of winning the league cup. No belief or desire and poor attitude, more often than not they always fall well short of expectation!

[Hibs90]

Wow. Really?

Aye really.

First of all. Big game record including Hearts losses and performances x 2
Home form. 3 league wins this season.
Style of football (at home) - pedestrian, mediocre, negative. Not forgetting that supporters paid money for season tickets not knowing if they'd be back in to see games this year and we are getting served that 'style' of football and poor results.
Tactics/substitutions etc... baffling at times.

Of course there is literally zero chance of him being sacked unless we enter some sort of catastrophic freefall.

Absolutely terrible. Porto terrible tonight, hanlon far too soft at there second goal. Hallberg and Wright simply not good enough to be anywhere near hibs. Boyle been terrible for a while. Nisbet couldn’t look less interested tonight if he tried. Can’t decide if doidge is crap and had a good run of form last season or if he’s decent and just not playing well at the monent not convinced

So our home form is acceptable because we are 4th? Away man.

You genuinely think Jack Ross should be sacked if we lose to Livingston? Like you 100% believe that?

My point is if we don’t win cup and finish 4th (we have already lost to Aberdeen x2 out of x4 games) that really isn’t great.

I don’t expect us to be 3rd this season but currently we aren’t exactly putting up a fight to try get 3rd. Chucking points away all over the place.

Ross needs the cup win for his CV and Hibs backers - if we don’t win it he will be up against it in the future.

And the slate the strikers for missing chances ?

Hanlon doesn’t do his job and you feel sorry for him but It’s the strikers fault.

The Hanlon love in is embarrassing on here. Can do no wrong

If I take the 57 or 58 Xmas times watching Hibs they have let me down way more times than they have gave me great times. Although that is Hibs I will say it again we cannot afford to swim with the big boys so we win some and lose some, lets just be pleased that we are all still able to complain about the team even if it is on a virtual forum.
Its just a ****in game of football at the end of the day and I do get as scunnered as the next man, thats the team that we all support we are all Hibs

It was a honking night at the office lacking energy.

It happens in football especially this league. Logging off for the night before I start reading that Newell isn’t good enough, we should sell Boyle. Etc etc.

It’s a hugely disappointing result. Hopefully one that has some strong words full time and sparks a reaction at weekend.

Probably not, but i dont agree regarding Porteous. Over the 90mins his distribution is extremely in consistent. He still makes the same rash decisions he was making when he first came through. I would argue hes actually went backwards over the last 18months. He will be extremely lucky to be a Hibs player over the length of his contract, never mind the future Scotland captain claimed to be.

If he doesnt sort himself out he will be playing Scottish Championship in the near future.

We finished 4th under Lennon and folk were lapping it up? We are more than in the fight for 3rd at this moment in time too.

Tonight is an atrocious result but let’s not pretend we’d be unhappy with a 4th place finish. 4th would be right in line with where we should be.

He has significantly improved this season. A rough game tonight doesn't change that. I was one of his biggest critics last season. Been excellent this year.

FT thank ****

gtf Hanlon and Doidge.

Wow, how did you manage to come to that conclusion?

[Real Emerald]

So our home form is acceptable because we are 4th? Away man.

It looks like we take the home games a bit more pedestrian than away games and find it difficult to impose ourselves decisively when attacking. We appear to play like we’ll win the games by merely passively passing it around. I don’t think the pitch at Easter Road helps us just now either, looks like playing on compacted slippy green mud.

[GreenCastle]

Aye but what about losing the big games?

Semi final is a must win for him or he's out.

I think he’s got to win the cup or he’s going to continue to have several parts of the support questioning him.

Oddly bit like Neilson at Hearts - if Celtic had won the cup Ross would be even under more pressure.

Ok Neilson is back at Hearts but as a manager you need to have some important wins otherwise the pressure mounts.

[USAHibee]

Had a bad feeling about tonight...

Poor display from our more senior players..

Boyle, Doidge, Nisbet, porteous really poor, newell crowded out..

I thought Bradley would have come on, he looks to bring something different, we had nothing to lose.

Still in there fighting for third place, beat Livi and move on. I would have snapped up 4th at New Year, if offered in August.

[Hiber-nation]

The manager has to explain why every single player was a mile off it tonight, rarely happens, there's usually someone who is at least trying to make things happen even on the odd occasion when Nisbet, Boyle and Newell are all having an off day. Not a thing tonight. You'd hope that the likes of Wright or Hallberg would maybe step up to the plate (ok I know) but Hallberg was rotten and I don't even want to talk about Wright.

Every single team in Scotland is capable of a rotten night like tonight it is nothing new. No point getting hysterical about it. Can be angry at team which is normal. But abit of context needed. Home form needs to improve. But all in all it’s been a 6/10 season soo far. We are where I expected us to be battling away with Aberdeen. Couple of good signings in window and see what we can do in league cup and we can try push it into being a 8 or 9 out of 10 season.

Agreed - we looked dangerous against Rangers at times. Gogic had a good game.

Win the midfield and the rest will come - can’t remember last time we dominated the middle at ER as we are trying to be so expansive and flair and it leaves us vulnerable with defenders who aren’t very good at 1v1s.

Probably more the latter. 4th place is certainly not 'in the bag' as some seem to think. Livi is a huge game and we need a response from the players cause that performance tonight was flookin awful.

Must admit I feared the worst when I noticed a few muppets on here predicting a 3-0 or 4-0 win at the start of this thread.

Know we have had a couple of good wins this season but can anyone on here honestly predict a comfortable Hibs win prior to any game. Makes me cringe when I see someone that stuff, know it may be bravado but any sensible Hibee I know never spouts that kind of cr*p.

Results like tonight is what we do. What I have difficulty is watching Hibs losing the games that matter. Such as the semi final a couple of weeks ago. Which brings me to the semi in a couple of weeks time. Hopefully the said muppets will keep their mouths shut after tonight and hope we win the upcoming semi.

We are not good enough yet to expect anything.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

Just because Doidge was awful today doesn’t excuse the weeks and weeks worse of vitriol and utter **** you have been posting about him and other players.


He's just not good enough to play for us simple as that. His two misses tonight were shocking

Why are they muppets for expecting Hibs to win 3 or 4 nil against one of the worst teams in the league?

That's one of the weirder takes I've read. We beat Hamilton and Motherwell by those scorelines recently. How on earth does a fan making that kind of prediction make them a muppet? Dreadful post.

Muppets. Really? People who thought our team who sit 4th in the league wouldn't be able to take 3 goals of a team that haven't scored in 8 games and are at rock bottom.

Aye outrageous right enough 😂

I use to enjoy reading hibs.net, always felt it was fairly balanced at times in defeat. But feel like it’s becoming more and more like twitter. Just totally over the top and reactionary. Who can say the most outlandish comments after any defeat. Sometimes wonder if it’s the same set supporters I stand beside at games that know what you get from Hibs.

Every single team in Scotland is capable of a rotten night like tonight it is nothing new. No point getting hysterical about it. Can be angry at team which is normal. But abit of context needed. Home form needs to improve. But all in all it’s been a 6/10 season soo far. We are where I expected us to be battling away with Aberdeen. Couple of good signings in window and see what we can do in league cup and we can try push it into being a 8 or 9 out of 10 season.

Well said. Think some posters do anything for a bit of drama on here. Some of the stuff is that over the top I question whether they actually believe it themselves.

We're in a cracking position to gain silverware and Europe this season. How often have we been able to say that of Hibs in seasons past. Bit of context needed indeed

[MWHIBBIES]

He's just not good enough to play for us simple as that. His two misses tonight were shocking

But he is playing for us? And generally playing well? And without him last season we're probably in a relegation scrap?

[Hibrandenburg]

If we took our chances in the first half then it's a different game. No excuses for our strikers, they're getting the service but not converting them into goals, same against the Rangers.

We are but being in this position and having a chance of silverware means absolutely nothing if you don’t achieve either/both. That’s the part we tend to fall down on.

[RossScott1991]

Then save the over the top mid season criticism for the end of the season for when it will actually hold some argument

[easty]

He’s obviously good enough, and when he moves on eventually we’ll prob make money on him, despite paying a decent fee for him too.

Hermit Crab won’t change his mind, doesn’t bother me, he’s wrong.

I thought we’d win comfortably, how the **** does that make you fear the worst?

Do one.

100% agree - bad as tonight was the league position is one of the better ones in the 40 years I have been supporting, as is the managers record. Hysterical comments unfortunately seem to be becoming more common.

[500miles]

We had a bad night, i wouldn't be too concerned as a one off. However, still lack a dynamo in the middle of the park. Allan Campbell would be superb, but realistically we need to find a combination of 3 players in the middle to get the most out of our better players.

I'd drop Doidge though. He's missing too many good chances and not linking up.

Posting that after the match is over means absolutely nothing.

I'd drop him too, but who's going to replace him? The only place we've got "competition" is in midfield, and half of his first picks in there are on the treatment table more often than not. Bar the left-back position and an injury to the first choice goalie, the defence is the same too.

I think Paul Hanlon could do with a rest as well, but who comes in for him? Perils of a small squad i'm afraid, but don't dare question the wisdom of that.

Play Doidge at Centre Half. Sorted 😉

It’s not over the top. I’m not criticising what ifs in criticising what has actually happened.

[greenpaper55]

The performance level has to be down to the manager good or bad, it would seem that Ross likes to big up the players after a decent performance but time after time he fails to notice that this has the wrong effect. Our team like most at our level are full of players of average abilities and i think they need to be reminded that they have to play at the top of their game and not believe the garbage spouted by the manager or the press or you get a performance like tonights .For me Ross needs to learn man management pronto and to stop telling players how good they are and to give every every game the same level of commitment they give against the like of Rangers for example.
