Great ball from Allan

He’s looking a lot sharper

Well done Paul, pleased for him a great professional.

One of Boyle's better penalties.

Edit. Maybe not, but it counts anyway.

If he keeps this up might have to move him to the Organised Crime thread.

We'll still win. We always do when I start the match update thread.


Love it 🤣 👍🤞

[heretoday]

Well done porteous. Booking was worth it!

[J-C]

Penalty all day long, 44 was very stupid after being spoken to by the ref a few secs earlier.

Pen blootered into the net as usual by Boyle, that's how to take a pen kick.

[Smartie]

What a reaction though.

Top notch Hibs.

[Vault Boy]

What a turnaround this half. Brilliant stuff.

[Peevemor]

Love it [emoji1787] [emoji106][emoji1696]Have some faith.

Who ever said Allan should leave hibs is foolish

Should never ever be letting a player of that class leave the club.

Love Allan

[CmoantheHibs]

Well done Squirrel. This is more like it. Why not start the game with the same drive and intensity?

Fair play to Scotty. Genuinely thought he was no longer an asset for us on the pitch but he’s ripping it up today.

[Centre Hawf]

Doig has a lot to learn & that's why no one was willing to pay £5 million.

I don't think he's started the season well in comparison to what he's capable of and showed last season. Needs to toughen up defensively as that's a couple of back post goals we've conceded on his side.

[CmoantheHibs]

2 points dropped. Poor performance over the piece and yet again not defending crosses. Disappointing.

[heretoday]

Lack of punch up front. Vulnerable at the back. It's not good.

St Mirren played well, deserved their point. Getting increasingly peed off at McGinn allowing crosses into the box so often, he’s been really poor defensively. Doig has to be more switched on too. Shows how light we are in numbers (of quality players) when you see that bench today.

Just a really poor performance all round.

St Mirren deserved at point but we need to be looking at the times that they have scored and what we should be doing as a team at those times. Going in at zero zero at half time and not losing an equaliser at the death.

[Allez Hibs]

aw nawwwwwwwwwww freakin St Johnstone up next........even at home i'm not confident, or should i say especially at home :(

Yep, when was last league win v St Johnstone at home?

[Hibrandenburg]

We had plenty of chances but just couldn't or could only hit the target depending on your personal definition and if Boyle just let the ball roll into the net then we'd have had all 3 points today.

And yet Jack Ross is saying how good we are mentally through the week.

Boyle also poor today.

We had started well at home so far aswell with 2 wins and 2 clean sheets in games which if I'm not mistaken we played well and controlled the ball so hopefully today was a blip.

[Centre Hawf]

it's so disappointing Macey either will simply not use that height to full effect, or told not to



but young doig was so poor there

I suggested in the Matt Macey thread a while back that there was something not right when it came to him and crosses and today doesn't make me change my mind one bit. The guy struggles to come for anything and as a result we're rolling the dice on our players being perfect defensively from crosses every time. It doesn't work, you're going to concede from one eventually if your keeper can't cut some of them out.

That doesn't absolve McGinn (standing watching him cross) and Doig (being beaten at the back post) of any blame by the way.

[Bridge hibs]

Don't you think he has a point. If Doig doesn't up his game soon we'll get no offers, far less 5 million.No, a mistake reduces his value ? All of a sudden Doig ****s up and his value diminishes !! Top class defenders make mistakes week in week out, ffs , why should we devalue one of our players when they **** up !! Lets encourage our players !!

We obviously put them under pressure when we hit the post

Probably the last time you had anything positive to say.

[Borderhibbie76]

Didn't deserve any more than a point today.. whole team was poor bar a 20 min spell after half time...and days like today when Nisbet is so poor show it was a shocker not signing another striker...no matter how poor he plays Nisbet knows he stays on pitch. One positive is not to lose when having a clear off day like today

[CL0762]

Today is not a blip. We are conceding the same soft goals over and over again. Crosses into the box. The keeper is either rooted to his line despite being a ******ing giant or the full backs are switching off/letting the ball into the box.

It’s not good enough.

[GreenCastle]

We were pretty poor for the first 45 mins. You rarely win if you play badly for that length of time.

We uploaded the speed of play for the 1st part of 2nd half and no - coincidence we got the goals.

But lack of subs or options to hold the ball / dictate the game meant the equaliser was coming.

They had better chances and it’s another game like Dundee where lack of a striker who can hold the ball and a proper left winger meant we were holding on.

Annoying and so predictable especially with Aberdeen and Hearts dropping points.

Would love to see the stats for late goals conceded at ER over the years as feels it’s very regular.

Hard to read posts like this when virtually the whole of Hibs.net absolved Marciano of any blame when he stubbornly refused to come for crosses. The accepted opinion was that crosses should be dealt with by the defenders. If that was indeed the case then lets afford Macey the same thoughts.

Rocky was hardly one who came for crosses in his time with us, for some reason the balls are getting into the box again this season, is it the change of system or not using the 3 centre backs as much as we have done last season?

Hmm,you make an interesting point,,it is niggling at the back of my head too.

Doig needs a spell out of the team

What makes you say that?

Doig was good today. Goal zero to do with him. Left with 2 men due to Scott letting his man go. Clear as day. Watch it again.

I think Keepers should try and come for crosses personally. I agree that Rocky could be quite shy at coming for them but he got away with it last season because our defence wasn't conceding headers from crosses with him in goal. This year we're conceding almost exclusively the same type of goal every time and Macey needs to take some of the responsibility by coming for more crosses than he currently is. While the defenders also need to buck up their ideas and deal with them better when he doesn't. It's not rocket science and I think it's a fair criticism.

He wasn’t good though. Nobody can walk of the pitch thinking they were good. Poor performance all round except a 15-20 minute spell.

True, although really frustrating not to be able to hold on to a hard-fought lead. Why the fear factor? It reminded me of a latter-day Heckingbottom display.

Perhaps not all that surprising that there's a drop-off in intensity following a derby, but I've never really understood why footballers can look so flat when more often not they're only playing once a week. It's not like a golfer, tennis player etc who is often trying to hit their top form for a number of days in succession and you can understand why they might fade.

Any need for the personal digs, lets try and keep it to football matters eh? just trolling.

Our fullbacks are there to stop the crosses coming in, with any wide midfielders giving them support in blocking / closing down the opportunity to get the crosses in. We aren't doing that as well.

The second line of defence is the centre backs getting their head to the ball.

The third is then the keeper.

It's a bit of a collective all round issue here in the defensive unit that needs more work. I do wonder if the change to 4 at the back from the 5 which we played a lot more last season is part of the issue and the wide players ahead of the fullbacks now are effectively wingers / wide forwards and playing further up the pitch?

Would all be fine if we were outscoring the opposition of course 😁

[yerauldda]

Just think he’s had a poor start to the season. He seemed to respond well whenever we brought Stevenson in for him last season.

Are you for real. Let’s keep it positive eh.

[calumhibee1]

I thought we were poor for the majority today. We had a wee spell at the start of the first and second half but apart from that it was mostly St Mirren. Lost count of how many late goals we’re conceded at home.

Pretty much how I seen it.

Poor first half, much better first 15-20 mins of the second half then back to being poor again.

3 draws in the last 4 and our good start is in danger of becoming decidedly average if we don’t do well out of the difficult run we have coming up. If we don’t manage to beat a couple of Aberdeen, Rangers, St Johnstone or Celtic then we could see ourselves sitting mid table after the first round of fixtures. That would be pretty poor going so let’s hope we can win at least one of them.
