Aberdeen v Hibs

[Sir David Gray]

What’s a red?!

For Longstaff on McGinn, very high.

[Coco Bryce]

Not one shot on target.

[Callum_62]

That's being ridiculous. For one, they could defend and stop opponent scoring. They could also release their players with fairly accurate long passes. They also had more than 1 pacey player.

We are a counter attack team that cannot defend, that currently cannot pass and rely on a single player to drive forward with pace (Boyle).I thought counter attacking goals don't count?

Or is that in Scotland only?

No midfield, no creativity or pace, and a horrendously bad defence - Ross will be gone if this continues. Dreadful to watch, totally insipid all over the pitch.

[Stuart93]

Not one shot on target.

It’s fine. It’s been an even game.

[Vault Boy]

Not great to read a number of digs at a dedicated volunteer on this thread. You're annoyed at the score, cool, don't see why Dave should be on the receiving end of sarcastic jibes because of it. He reads this forum.

That's a red card for me.
Our midfield two just don't seem to function, they seem to get totally overrun. I don't think we've played particularly badly and can't get the whole heartless thing, I think we are trying as hard as we can, I'm getting to the point were I think we are just not as good this year, summer transfer window looking like a total failure.

[Callum_62]

I'd probably bring Gullan off for Murphy

[7Hero]

Our ability to retain possession from throw ins is disgraceful, has been for years!

We never replaced Darren Jackson

[Tambo]

The back 3 can pass it about not to bad but that's all about it.

Awful going forward most of the season no creativity unless Boyle turns into road runner.

Midfield just getting walked through again this season. What has changed since last season when there was some energy and fight? Only thing I can think of is Gogic is no longer first team.

These players are better than this crap football we see most weeks under Ross.

[Peevemor]

Even? We’ve had one deflected shot at goal and are struggling to get the ball down.

I have no idea what you’re watching.As I said - pretty even.

[Unseen work]

Good and the better team until the goal then we crumbled

[JJP]

Totally uninspiring first half. Hoping for a much better showing second half.

[Lancs Harp]

What’s a red?!

The performance

[easty]

That was shocking for a free kick.

Our free kicks and corners are consistently pish

[BegbieHSC]

A factor in Mathie’s departure was the transfer window just there. What the club have failed to do since is try and fix it. Surely there were free agents out there who could have improved us? For a squad full of talented players, we look bottom six standard. Is the lack of depth and competition for our players making them lazy?

[Chorley Hibee]

What do you expect when Jack Ross is meant to be the man to inspire you

You'll not hear an argument from me on the Jack Ross front, I agree with you for what it's worth.

The players could show an ounce of responsibility for once mind!

Newell hiding again and Nisbet not giving a **** just for a start.

[hibIBZ]

No midfield, no creativity or pace, and a horrendously bad defence - Ross will be gone if this continues. Dreadful to watch, totally insipid all over the pitch.

For me this is not all Ross' fault. He is working with the players the recruitment team put together for him. Obviously I know he has last say on players etc. But it's not all on him

[Stuart93]

Marking for dons goal is incredible. Not one player looked at Ramirez when he made his way into the box

[A Hi-Bee]

He should never have got the job. His record as head of recruitment was poor and it was pointed out by many at the time.

Hey that horse is long gone, we need some quick fixing, sure many players out in the wastelands with no contract that would play for Hibs at least till Xmas, although not sure what is gonna change at Xmas, we have some guy from America coming over but not much else.

[NC1875]

0 shots on target again. Barely 2 passes strung together. Lost the midfield battle.

We are a terrible side. No getting away from it.

The buck stops with him, thats why he is in the position, he knows that as well as anyone.

[J-C]

48 mins I'll never get back, my eyes are pouring of blood after that. 3 shots, zero on target says it all.

Don't know what Ross is trying to achieve with this shape, 2 in the middle with zero creativity will never work, Newell and JDH are sitting so far back they're in another time zone from the forwards and all the forwards have is big lumps from Hanlon and Daz to work with.

No pace, no creativity, no composure, no chance.

[Stuart93]

As I said - pretty even.

'mon the Dave !

[GreenCastle]

Been a very open game.

This is good and bad.

Good as gives Boyle and others some space to run into but bad as our midfield and back line look in trouble when Aberdeen attack.

Newell in a midfield 2 is asking a lot from JDH.

Gullan had no service.

Do we have anyone playing left midfield ?

Yes we are missing players but so are Aberdeen with injuries.

I’m sure Hanlon looked but just carried on into the box and didn’t click that he was free. Dreadful marking.

[truehibernian]

For me this is not all Ross' fault. He is working with the players the recruitment team put together for him. Obviously I know he has last say on players etc. But it's not all on him

Selection today is awful and predictably we’re overrun in midfield and wide. That’s all on Ross.

[CentreLine]

We never replaced Darren Jackson

Darren Jackson was superb at hiding when he couldn’t be bothered. Probably still on the books, just hiding somewhere

[hhibs]

So far,so poor.

Not sure if our nervy defence,absent midfield or,our forwards missing in non action ,that worries me most.

Exceptions McGinn and Boyle .

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What’s a red?!

That's when someone gets sent off or an Aberdeen fan.

[Wheat Hound]

Marking for dons goal is incredible. Not one player looked at Ramirez when he made his way into the box

Hanlon did look at him but still inexplicably decided not to mark him and instead cover an area where there was no opposition player. He needs dropped as he is the common denominator on recent weeks for our poor defensive performances.

[TheHibernator]

Why does Martin Boyle take all our set pieces? His delivery is so poor.

[LunasBoots]

Aberdeen are poor and we are even poorer, ive defended the likes of Nisbet but hes been useless for months, Ross's selection and formation is wrong again.

[Vault Boy]

I'm quite concerned about Daz receiving a second yellow if he isn't hooked. Been late to a lot of his challenges today.

[madhatter]

Well we did alright with it last season? In JR’s first full season in charge.

Yes. Teams learn though. Do you genuinely think you can just keep playing counter attack in Scottish football with only 1 fast player in your squad?

Even when Boyle plays well, teams will take it in turns to foul him. When he doesn't play well we are so easy to play against. We cannot even string a sequence of 5 passes together.

This league is stronger than last season, that is obvious. We are weaker than last season due to recruitment. That is scandalously poor management throughout the club. If we planned to play counter attack football we should have recruited 2 solid defenders, 2 hard working energetic midfielders and 2 pacey players to play up front with Boyle.

Look at Liverpool, they obviously play at a completely different level but they have a great team for counter attack play. Nisbet vs Firmino, work rate polar opposites. Pace? They've got Mane and Salah. Midfield? Normally box-to-box type with lots of work rate. Maybe one sitting in front of defence. Wing backs? Normally lethal crosses.

Us? pedestrian unless Boyle is free.

We have recruited players based on reputation and personality. We have not recruited players for a particular style of play.

[SteveHFC]

Nisbet should be dropped but there’s nobody to replace him.

[cjward2]

Willie Miller called it right. Hibs lack creativity.

[Callum_62]

Aberdeen are poor and we are even poorer, ive defended the likes of Nisbet but hes been useless for months, Ross's selection and formation is wrong again.How should we have lined up?

[Lancs Harp]

I really hope Jack and the boys can come up with something to turn the game around but currently i have zero confidence once a game starts moving away we can change it.

[Hiber-nation]

Let's face it the squad is unbelievably limited, as soon as Magennis went off the boil the writing was on the wall, JDH has disappeared and Newell back into his shell.

Uninspiring is the word that keeps coming into my head.

[Peevemor]

If you think stats tell the whole story of that first half then fair enough.

We’ve been absolute humpty.Give me peace FFS!

I said that apart from a spell after they scored it's been pretty even. The stats support that.

I didn't say we've been good, but we certainly haven't been as overrun as some are making out.

And we've put a few balls into their 6yd box. One touch and a bit of luck and it's a goal.

As I say I'm not giving up on the points.

You can moan your box off all you want as per.

[Smartie]

I don't think it's been that much worse than usual, although I don't have a very high opinion of the usual.

They're not a great side, which is probably why it is still just one. We've got very little guile going forward and the team is set up as if it should be keeping it tight and hitting on the break, but the game plan goes when you lose the first goal.

We do have options off the bench for a change and I think Aberdeen are pish so this isn't over. They've also lost a couple of big players during the first half.

I'd be tempted to take McGregor off as he's a red card waiting to happen and that would kill the game.

Too many players out today who are just too important for us. With those players we're one of the best teams in the league. Without them, we're one of the worst.

It's inexcusable that Hibs are in this state but we are where we are and at the moment we're not out of this game.

[Callum_62]

I'd be tempted to bring Doig on now they have lost there attacking RB

Gullan for Murphy or Allan

Doig for Lewis

If we don’t change the formation then we can look forward to another pish half of football.

[MikeyS]

agreed, there's some jibes at Hibs TV commentators/summarisers/whatever every game

That could point to there being an issue that needs addressed then?

[Perfect Hatrick]

We look like we’re going to be a bottom 6 side.

We’re on a real slide. This first half has been dreadful as has most of the past month or two.

[Bobo]

It was inevitable that the poorest Dons team in a decade, who can't buy a win this season, would get the better of us after another substandard opening 45 minutes from Hibs!

We play far too many aimless long balls and are so slow at everything we do so lack any threat going forward, can't see us scoring! It's the same lack of belief, determination and desire, that we've witnessed far to often in the past.

Would try Doig on soon and Murphy too, give us better creativity.

Their confidence is low too so they'll geg nervous if this stretches on. We need to take advantage of that.

I'm making a comparison with player types. Leicester won the league because they had the right type of players in the correct positions to play a style of play - counter attack. We do not have the right players to play this style so struggle. They had to beat better teams than us. Pace is pace, work rate is work rate. The finer qualities in the game decide whether you play at Hibs or Liverpool.

We've got quite a few players that aren't good enough to play for Hibs sadly.

We will never agree on this. I can assure you that Ross will follow Mathie unless we drastically improve, our standard of play is shocking. Everything we do is in hope, a cross is put in in hope rather than with intent.

Aberdeen needed a win after a barren run, unless things change we will be the usual charitable team to give them one. Dundee United couldn't score a goal, we gave them 3.

[One Day Soon]

Lose this today and we're running at one win in our last five. I'm not seeing us either playing particularly attractive football or grinding out results. We look suspiciously like 'stop Boyle and you stop Hibs'. If we are that much of a one-trick pony we are in serious bother.

To make matters worse - and this does matter - Hearts are currently sitting 7 points ahead of us at the top of the league having scored more goals than us but only conceding exactly half our number. Worse still we are are only two points ahead of St Mirren and bottom six with pretty much a third of the season played.

We've another 10 or so games to play (that's another third of the season) before the January window opens when we might be able to try and redress our very obvious squad weaknesses.

Last season I was enraged by our spineless and pedestrian performances in some really big games. The reassurance then was that our league positioning was good, we were grinding out results, we would build on that platform and Jack Ross would learn on tactical changes, formations and late substitutions.

Honestly, I'm not at all convinced this is going to end well...

Can you not see the team arguing when Aberdeen scored? This is more than the results of 2 games (likely at this point). I like to see players arguing at bad decisions/mistakes but I'm yet to see this reaction that Ross said we needed from last week.

Aberdeen look likely to score every time they come forward. We look like we could play all week and would struggle to get a shot on target.

Play advantage, wait and see if they score and if not give them the free kick? Wtf?


Which is the correct decision.

[Shrekko]

Can you play advantage, watch them miss then bring it bit back?

Surley no?

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Absolute joke of a decision - they nearly scored from the advantage!

[madhatter]

Yawn

I do a lot of the same while watching Hibs. Glad we have reached common ground on something.

[Shrekko]

Which is the correct decision.

No it’s not - the chance they created was better than the free kick opportunity. You can’t give them 2 advantages!

[Perfect Hatrick]

This second half hasn’t been any better.

[Stuart93]

Hard to believe just how terrible we look

[Jones28]

Can you not see the team arguing when Aberdeen scored? This is more than the results of 2 games (likely at this point). I like to see players arguing at bad decisions/mistakes but I'm yet to see this reaction that Ross said we needed from last week.

Aberdeen look likely to score every time they come forward. We look like we could play all week and would struggle to get a shot on target.

Wheels are falling off.

No, I’m listening to it on the ****ing radio 😂

Ok mate, I’m not going to judge this team after less than a third of a season where we’ve had 3 key players injured plus other players out.

[Callum_62]

I'd bring Allan on for gullan

If we were looking to get some sort of reaction at the start of the second half (and it's not unreasonable for us to expect that) then we've simply not had that.

I think we're in big, big trouble. This is NOT a good side we're losing to here imo (unlike last week).

Nisbet is getting worse every week.

Newell puzzles me. How can he sometimes look like he's running the show and at other times look like a lost little boy? We're needing him to take this game by the scruff of the neck but he's all over the shop here.

[Perfect Hatrick]

Get Newell off. He’s dreadful.

[Callum_62]

Gullan off for Allan

No it isn’t, you play the advantage that resulted in the shot, if the shot had been blocked or a challenge it gets pulled back.

[J-C]

That was shocking from Newell, simple 10 yd pass miscued and out of play.

[Stuart93]

Can we stop pretending Gullan’s the messiah now

[Gatecrasher]

He’s nowhere near good enough for Hibs. It’s time to give up on him imo.

[SaulGoodman]

Aberdeen fans chanting Hun at Scott Allan whilst having David Bates and Lewis Ferguson on their team.

[Stuart93]

The OTT reaction to him scoring a hat trick against a B team was ridiculous. The lads nowhere near good enough

[hibee-boys]

Newell = does the basics ok but absolutely nothing else unless we’re 2 or 3 up against average sides when it never really matters.

[easty]

Ramirez has done **** all for them tae, bar finishing that chance…we’ve given Nisbet nothing to finish. Absolutely nothing.

Given how ***** Nisbet has been for one reason or another many thought he was deserving of a chance. Nothing more.

Apart from putting his team in the lead, if only Nisbet managed to do as much.

I missed have missed them whilst trying to keep my eyes open.

[SHODAN]

Can Hibs now put the "two/three strikers per squad" experiment that's been going on the last few years to bed now?

[Heisenberg]

We aren’t even getting close to troubling this defence. We can’t moan about injuries when you see the state of that Aberdeen back five.

[Smartie]

Going against the grain here but other than one or two shaky moments I think Daz has played quite well.

I'm still a bit anxious about him being on a yellow and being as aggressive as he is but he's done a lot right, and he's looked more focussed than most.

[bringbackbenny]

This. Every match thread ruined.

Ref plays advantage after Brown fouls in the middle and Boyle doesn't get on the end of the resulting pass, ref brings it back for the original foul.

But the Aberdeen boy got on the end of the ball after the advantage, played it square across goal and the boy almost tapped it in.

[silverhibee]

Get Boyle of free kicks, deary me.

And corners.

Why does it matter when you judge them? Why does it also matter how many key players are out? Aberdeen have had 2 key players taken off in this match. They've replaced with decent players from the bench. We can blame our recruitment but until we have an identifiable playing style recruitment will be miss more times than not. Cadden has had a bit of stick but in fairness to him why have we recruited him, to be a right back? Right midfielder? Or just a "I play wherever you need me"? How are we identifying suitable players?

Another chance not taken by him unfortunately. Just isn't good enough. Ross had to try something different though and that's the only change he could make up front.

Is it honestly that hard to see why it matters that key players are injured? You can’t have a 25 man squad of key players, because you can’t recruit them on that basis.

The person responsible for recruitment has been given the heave ho, so clearly it’s been identified we haven’t performed well enough. I’m giving them the jan window to sort it and recruit well. Until then the manager has credit in the bank.

Like you said we aren’t going to agree on this.
