Unseen work

One thing that is becoming apparent to me is that the current Hibs team is struggling finding a balance in how to defend and attack well in a game.
At the start of the season Ross was clear he wanted us to be a lot more solid defensively and it was very apparent to everyone how much we had improved. I was watching games thinking we weren’t going to concede and the opposition were hardly creating anything of note. As a result though we were more of a counter attacking team and gave up possession to play a more direct game.
Fans started to moan about the style of play etc and then we seemed to move to more possession based and whilst the football improved quite a bit we then seemed a lot slacker defensively and started giving up silly goals.
Are the players taking things to literal from Ross and just focusing purely on what he says that game and not taking enough responsibility to put it all together? Just because Ross emphasises one bit of the game doesn’t mean you negate the other.
I think with Newell and Irvine in the middle of the park together we will improve considerably as I think Irvine is the leader we need.
