Of course the sending off tonight has ultimately cost us the game (whilst we were well on top) but our inability to defend cross balls this season is costing us massively. We look so shaky at every cross ball and our full backs can’t stop them. What has happened to McGinn this season, he’s started very poor.

Also, we never ever look like scoring from our own corner kicks. It’s almost pointless winning corner kicks. Do we work on set pieces in training?!

Don't bring facts into a Hibs.net rant.

I thought they were terrible tonight, and that it was a point worth making.

Great finish from Magennis for the goal but the corners were shocking.

I prefer Newell's deliveries, especially from our right.

It's an area that can settle close ties (which this one was for more than 3/4 of it) and I just don't think we can afford to be as casually wasteful with them as we appeared to be tonight.

As for some of the final balls in from Boyle...

We were largely utterly minging in the final third over both ties, really quite out of our depth.
