Hibs v Motherwell

[Pretty Boy]

That looked a shout for a penalty.

[WeeRussell]

It gets asked of every goal we lose and its not fair on the guy tbh as I say Rocky lost a fair few dodgy goals for us and he was never scrutinised the same way

You may be correct that more people are harsher on Macey than Rocky (in fact I’m sure you are) but dodgy goals get mentioned or questioned regardless of who the keeper is.

[J-C]

Nowt much he could do, cracking strike from Watt and in off the post, he wasn't actually that far away from getting it.

[Pretty Boy]

Doidge for Doyle Hayes.

should you not be quoting a couple of individuals that actually gave a definitive answer to my question instead of quoting someone just asking the question ?

off the line from nisbet,, campbell off the underside of the bar

[Pretty Boy]

Another one off the line then one of the underside of the bar. We are knocking on the door here.

[Moulin Yarns]

Campbell again, off the underside of the crossbar, what does he need to do to score!!

[Swedish hibee]

Come on hibs

I'd go for Tony Watt in January.

Nah. I think he clicks with Motherwell just like Scott Allan clicks with us.

[A Hi-Bee]

Very unlucky from Nisbet and then Campbell hits the bar, just one of them games mabe.

[Since90+2]

Sounds like Watt is playing very well.

Doubt he'd come to us. Seems to love Hearts and he'd not even be guaranteed a start with us.

[madhatter]

This is really poor. Says it all that we've thrown everything on and gave up with any reasonable formation. A lot of long balls.

Hopefully grind this out. If we don't this will prove to an awful run of form.

[Pretty Boy]

Nisbet passes it at the keeper from 8 yards. Has to do better.

I'm afraid Hibs are very much a mid table team, playing mid table football and getting mid table results.

[Since90+2]

Those are the chances the team are creating for him that Nisbet should be scoring.

[cabbageandribs1875]

St Johnstone were our bogey team

now it's everyone else



what a shocking run of form in the league

[Joe6-2]

Wasted opportunity at home for three points

[cabbageandribs1875]

Along with some poor decision making we need much better quality players .

[Jones28]

FT

[Scottie]

Jack Ross = Draw specialist :cb

[madhatter]

Can't see us getting much better than a mid table finish. Cliff and Tam saying 2nd half has been brilliant. Not sure what game I've been watching but we've been far from brilliant today. Created a few chances in the 2nd half but hardly scintillating. Motherwell have been quite poor and apart from Tony Watt and a couple others are an average side. We looked as average as them.

[Since452]

Meh

[Bobo]

Can't pass, can't cross and 2nd to most balls for the majority of the game! Concede another poor goal by not pressing the ball and were poor for the majority passing up the few decent chances we had, substandard at best. Really p!ss poor!

[NC1875]

***** yet again. Very worrying run of form

[Lago]

Been saying this for weeks. Poor side in a poor league I'm afraid.
Don't see how anyone can argue against that, results speak for themselves.

[Nicho87]

Brilliant.

Let’s all be positive 🤣

[madhatter]

Did a Hibs player do a mini celebration at the full time whistle there? Someone had both arms in the air as the whistle went...

[pacoluna]

Not good enough.

[cabbageandribs1875]

looking forward to those that once again rightly showing concern getting told they're talking nonsense

[The Captain....]

Disappointing result in the end. Another home game without a win

So frustrating watching this Hibs team. No wonder the stands are half empty and getting sparser each home game.

[H18S NX]

Draw was about right,another 2 points dropped at home.

[CmoantheHibs]

Another 2 dropped points. Had glorious chances to win it but poor finishing and bad luck meant we drew. Can't fault the players for effort. Just need to move onto the Livi game and win that.

[JohnMcM]

I really hope JR finds an answer to this before the turn of the year, other wise we could be scrapping in the bottom six.

[Sir David Gray]

Utterly crap result, not good enough.

We deserve better :faf:

Some on here certainly don't.

[Heisenberg]

They missed all the chances first half and we missed them all in the second. Will Ross point to fine margins? Yes. Their equaliser flies in off the post and Campbell rattles the bar and it comes out.

Thought Newell was rotten second half. We also seemed to constantly look in a panic at the back throughout the 90 minutes.

[A Hi-Bee]

looking forward to those that once again rightly showing concern getting told they're talking nonsense
It is not nonsense to mention we are just 2 games away from the bottom spaces. We must get better and start winning games.:brickwall

[GreenCastle]

Walking back from game - definitely 2 points dropped.

This was an important game to win to close gap and top 6 - say goodbye to 3rd.

We started 2nd half better and had chances but we don’t finish them we don’t deserve much.

Subs too late and no impact.

Felt Macey should have saved goal too.

We were lucky to be 1-0 up 1st half.

Typical Jack Ross performance - we need to add creativity - goals in January.

[PeeJay]

Entertaining game at times, disappointing to drop 2 points at home - we lack quality and conviction in much of what we do ...

[A Hi-Bee]

We deserve better :faf:

Some on here certainly don't.

So your happy with this going on 6 points off the bottom ffs.

[J-C]

If you can only score one from all those chances we won't be top 3 that's for sure, all gung ho and hope for the best in the last 10 minutes. Should really have won that but for poor finishing, at least we had a go in the 2nd half but we seem to be hoping for some luck rather than being composed and just winning the game, disappointed in the draw.

[PPZPOL]

I really hope JR finds an answer to this before the turn of the year, other wise we could be scrapping in the bottom six.

Feels like we already are.

Well be nowhere near the bottom when it actually matters. Really unlucky today.

[GreenCastle]

Really unlucky. 2 off the line, hit bar. Their goal from a total mis**** ****.

Some say say unlucky - some say just poor finishing.

[Jim44]

Here we go with doom and gloom. So we didn’t beat a team above us in the league…… big deal. Ross out!!!!!! :rolleyes:

[Unseen work]

I’d say I’m one of Jack Ross’ biggest fans and whilst I think we’ve actually played well since returning from the international break this run is really concerning.

I’ve said numerous times I have faith in him to get us up the league and I do think he will but when?

How long do we let this go?

He really needed a win today.

Motherwell have been decent this season in fairness but 1-0 up at home with the players we have you expect us to win

[berwickhibee]

Well played in the second half Hibs, dominant.
Not getting the wee breaks just now and poor finishing, effort was superb.

Disappointed in only getting a point, we deserved 3.

[Crunchie]

Another unsurprisingly dumb comment from you. You raging cos your bet never came in?

Not even near 10k there today. Only 3 people in our whole row. Was like a reserve game.

I know they count ST holders but that's just embarrassing even claiming that over the tannoy.

Christmas coming up, **** weather and **** performances certainly doesn't help.

I hope you are right although mabe I need to borrow your crystal ball.
they are saying 17 shots with 4 on target that just aint good enough.

[tmb1875]

Weird game, 4-4 should probably just about be the right score. Jack Ross needs to be starting players that will get us goals, we might never keep another clean sheet this season not with that defence anyway so start with Allan and Murphy and go for goals, that 1st half team is a mirror image of the manager, dull and uninspiring with a spawny streak [emoji23]. However a Million miles better than previous weeks tbf still not good enough in the end another 2 points dropped.

Do you have confidence Jack Ross and whomever is responsible for recruitment now will get it right? Graeme Mathie has been used as a fall guy in my opinion. No doubting he will have had a significant part to play in our recruitment failures but he isn't solely to blame. We flipped from signing players from down south to players from St Mirren, Hamilton and St Johnstone. Jack Ross and other people at the club were to blame for our terrible recruitment as well. I hope something drastic will have changed in preparation for January, I won't hold my breath though.

Would McGrath and/or McCart have fixed us? We are physically light across the pitch, especially in midfield, and play in a highly competitive, physical, league.

[thebausburst]

Hibs need wins, draws no use to climb to where we want/need to be! Given our form it’s Hard to see us winning at Livi, likely another defeat or draw.

[NC1875]

Well be nowhere near the bottom when it actually matters. Really unlucky today.

And you’ll keep telling us this all season. When will you admit we’re not very good and could be in trouble.? When it’s too late ?

Why this continual mince about attendances, if that was the amount of tickets sold including the 1300 given to NHS workers then that is the attendance.

That was a good game of football against a decent team. I've watched Hibs for over 50 years and seen a hell of a lot worse than that on the field. This is a good team and playing some good stuff, we just need a few breaks.

[delbert]

I really hope JR finds an answer to this before the turn of the year, other wise we could be scrapping in the bottom six.

We will get the usual platitudes and double talk from the manager, it wont be anyones fault, we will be unlucky once more and it will all come right ! Meanwhile we are dropping like a stone, a team once top now in the bottom six having taken four points from a possible twenty four ! The usual Ross apologists will jump to his defence and they are of course entitled to their opinion, but if anyone can explain to me just how this is in any way acceptable, feel free !

[Spike Mandela]

Not a disaster drawing with a decent Motherwell side. Avoiding results like the Ross county one over the next few matches more important.

Team and key players playing decent enough for game schedule and cup final. Hopeful enough for me going forward.

[Coco Bryce]

Are you serious? Tickets sold is the attendance then is it. They never attended. Where you even at the game today? It was deserted.

[The Modfather]

Here we go with doom and gloom. So we didn’t beat a team above us in the league…… big deal. Ross out!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Rather than viewing the criticism and debate as stemming from this one game in isolation and no wider context. Given we’re approaching the half way point of the league season, why not make a positive case for where we are in the league at this point rather than lash out at the perceived doom and gloom?

I’m almost at the point of just wanting this season to be over, the league season certainly. Ross was dealt a bad hand with the summer recruitment, but he’s also not getting enough out of what he does have IMO.

[Yorkshire HFC]

We need to earn those breaks - at 1-0 you’re always open to a go from nowhere. Even if that happens if you can react well enough then you’re not in trouble.

How long before bad luck becomes a long term trend?

Just watched their goal, what was McGinn actually doing, he came right across the box and ended up in front of Macey, meanwhile Watt is standing on the edge of the box exactly where McGinn had come from, mention by Stuart Lovell, poor defending all over the place, keep the shape and he doesn't score. Our defence has been pretty brutal so far this season.

I am hundreds of miles away but my season ticket counts towards the money that goes to Hibs, so they will count my seat whether I am there or not, how else would they count the attendance. I bought my season ticket knowing that I may only get a visit every so often, dont know why all the fuss.

We have 2 players coming in plus 2/3 returning from injury. I’m willing to bet adding another 3/4 players with a few departing.

There are a lot of more pressing issues that need addressed but the 1st 'non essential' change I would make is an upgrade on the right side of defence.

Same ***** different day as far as watching this team goes.

This side are not a good watch, and they're turning Easter Road into a morgue.

I honestly couldn't care less if Ross was sacked/walked this evening. I do not believe he is the man to take us forward, and attendances show I'm not alone in that thought.

As some have said I have seen a much worse performance from Hibs than today but we was not great at times again. Far to predictable with not much quality creative players.

Surely the important thing is the half empty stands, which means less income at the games through the kiosks and club shop and in turn less atmosphere, many fans seem to be of a can't be bothered attitude right now.

I really don't ****in care, that is the business of the club why moan about what your club does in releasing attendances, as I have said Hibs have far bigger problems to sort out and sort out fast. Does it spoil my evening NO, does getting beat or drawing games we should win, spoil my evening ****in Yes.

Its frankly boring to watch, I'd defy anyone to claim otherwise. Its strange all the ultra positive, "luck will change soon" types so apparent on here are invisible at the actual games. I don't hear any of these claims at the game walking up ER after, or on the bus home! In real life such claims would be laughable.Losing 5 games in a row will also bring they comments of being boring

The game today (2nd half anyway) wasn't boring and neither were most of our games to early October

Surely the important thing is the half empty stands, which means less income at the games through the kiosks and club shop and in turn less atmosphere, many fans seem to be of a can't be bothered attitude right now.

Again, are you really embarrassed? I doubt it, will some jambo pal give you stick for it and you'll turn red? I doubt that too, i repeat you just like moaning.
I don't do happy clapping either but i certainly wouldn't berate the team for a performance like that.


Again, who's ****ing moaning, I never berated the team today, I thought we had a right go and scored a cracking goal, missed too many chances to win the game and McGinn's mistake allows Watt to score a really nice finish. I praised Ross for changing the shape and it making a difference. We're getting little luck and it doesn't look like changing, I was disappointed dropping 2 points today as I guess many fans will be.

Will disagree on the more than decent bit. It’s terrible to watch which is why not many are watching. Been competitive, certainly, but nothing happening to fill the empty seats.

First half... rubbish but brilliant goal.
Second half.. tried but it was slow and ponderous at times and should really have taken the couple chances we made. Nisbet has to bury it in the corner.

I'm afraid, this current squad and management team as it is right now are very much a mid-table average side. The team needs some proper investment in terms of depth and quality. The management team need to take a look at how we play, it's slow and lacks urgency, we aren't clinical enough when we do create chances . Tactically I'm not sure what the game plan is, if there even is one. No point in me calling for the manager to go, as it seems he is here whatever the case. It was noticeable that the noise from the fans picked up when we had wee spells were we played with a quick tempo. Otherwise, the atmosphere reflects the team to be honest and I don't really blame anyone for not wanting to go. The pundits on the radio were saying it was a brilliant game, not sure what they were watching.

Don't see how this improves any time soon unless we get a good few bodies in January but by that point we will be well settled in mid table mediocrity.

[GreenCastle]

I think today was very predictable and at 1-0 we had to get another goal.

We did come up and play much better for first part of 2nd half but we couldn’t get the goal.

What I find frustrating is the subs - always feels like we become more attacking with them but it’s like we don’t want to risk the game too early.

We really need others to chip in with goals - the number of crosses we have and players heading over etc.

Motherwell definitely didn’t come to sit in so there was space to get at them.

What was the nonsense with that flare in the East also?

That was a good game of football against a decent team. I've watched Hibs for over 50 years and seen a hell of a lot worse than that on the field. This is a good team and playing some good stuff, we just need a few breaks.

True. Problem is it was a game that was on the end of a terrible run of league results. We should have won but didn’t. All rather frustrating, but I have a feeling we’ll do some good business in the next window.

[MWHIBBIES]

I thought today was terrible, yes. We had wee bits here and there but, overall, I thought it was crap. I don’t enjoy going to ER at the moment and the place feels like a morgue, that plays a part in my enjoyment to be fair.

Semi final was a brilliant performance obviously. Quite enjoyed last Saturday, mainly down to a cameo appearance from the type of player I like watching. The two home games and Dingwall, I didn’t enjoy at all though.

Thought we played well for two bursts. 5 mins just after half time and then after about 70 minutes. First half was really poor and Motherwell should have been out of sight. Decent game to watch with plenty chances but, if I'm being honest, we are a fairly tepid side that a team with discipline and energy will nullify fairly easily.

I think we’re miles away from being a good team. Don’t score many and don’t keep clean sheets.

Not going to get far with a team that has so few goals in it. Five that started across the middle have one goal between them all season.

Same defence was solid last year, I don’t think there is much in it. Get Doidge up and running and then Nisbet will come good

Same defence minus Marciano. Think he’s been a big loss to us. Macey not making glaring errors but defence significantly weaker and that’s the only real difference.

Think Nisbet has shown signs of life but any striker feeding of scraps with the lack of creativity I. Midfield.

[J-C]

That's what I meant by little luck, Hanlon the other game recently clipped the post, Campbell's effort off the bar, we need to start converting these chances, add in the 3-4 today that were hit straight at the keeper instead of buried into the back of the net, it seems to be the way when you're desperate for a win.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think we have room for improvement all over the pitch but I think the return of Doidge to the starting line up will make a significant positive difference.

My biggest concern is midfield, where games are often won and lost, the balance just doesnt seem right to me, quite easy to play through when the oppositon have the ball and not creative enough when we do have ball and we move the ball far too slowly with not enough responsibility on trying to make something happen, to me, to you, to you to me sir type thing.

At the back we simply make too many costly errors. At times we'll look comfortable and reassured then just drop a clanger and all the defensive good work is undone. Porto is the epitome of this.

Keep the faith, we are Hibs.

[wookie70]

I thought we were very poor before we changed shape. Thereafter, we were much better and scored a fantastic goal. What a ball from Campbell and a top finish from Nisbet. Motherwell must have felt like us at that point as they didn't deserve to be behind. We played pretty well in the second half creating a few chances but lost yet another terrible goal. Murphy and Allan never really added much when they came on and Doidge looks miles away from starting to me. It was a fair enough result with both goals against the run of play. We will finish in the middle of the table somewhere unless we get some more urgency as we look devoid of drive and ambition. So many passes that went astray and so many that fell behind a man. We are far too slow and sideways in the majority of our play for the most part and annoyingly have flashes where we really move the ball well.

Should Macey have saved the goal? Felt at the time seeing it live he should have saved it but was slow getting down.

[truehibernian]

Need a new right back in my opinion, lose far too many goals from that side and allow far too many unchallenged crosses. McGinn is having a very very poor season.

Uninspiring sums it up for me. Right from the moment I looked at the team lines today I felt uninspired.

For all the chat about it being boring and so on, we’re really lacking quality in that team more than anything else.

I thought overall we were clearly the better side and created some great chances, I don't think Motherwell looked comfortable for the majority of the 2nd half, and for me the only good defender they have is Mugabi. We missed what I would regard as a sitter and hit the bar as well as a couple of dangerous balls across the box. I thought it was quite an open game but, particularly in the 2nd half I thought there were long spells when we totally dominated it. All about opinions though obviously.

[Ronniekirk]

We could and probably should have scored 3 or 4 today

But we didn’t and it’s one of the reasons we aren’t winning league games
The longer this goes on the harder it will be to compete for top four spot

Just seen the goal again on sport scene and yet again Paul Hanlon doesn’t cover himself in glory. Doesn’t even challenge for the ball before the Motherwell goal.

Had his 1 good game in 8 against Rangers in the semi final. Not good enough along with Jack Ross.

I would say both teams would be happy with a point after the final whistle.

No doubt Motherwell could of been a few in front before our opener but again we could of been a few ahead if Nisbet puts his other chance away and if Campbell's rockets goes in.

Both teams had chances and only scored 1 goal each, for a nutueral watching they would said it was a good game to watch imo.

Yesterday was another mixture of some awful football and some good football. For me what hurt us most was the poor performance from both Newell and JDH.
