Surely, we need a line-up and players on the park to try and show something to excite a sold our ER.

I wonder if there will be more than 11 or 12k actually turn up on the day.

Am I the only one that never thought it was a red?

McGowan is holding Bushiri’ same and Bushiri then pulls his arm away aggressively in a “stop holding into me” type of wag

He's certainly not lashed out at his face, no idea what the commentators are in about.

I think he was a bit unfortunate and never meant to hit his face but can understand why he seen red.

Think we’ve failed to score in seven of 13 games under Maloney. And one of those games we did score in was in ET against Cove

Think it's unfair to judge either on that tonight. Jasper needs to learn to look up and pass though, a frustrating player for me so far.

If you find him frustrating you should see the rest of our team 😁

I thought Jasper was one of the very few sources of something resembling excitement from us tonight.

Every game is the same. Pass the ball about at will up to the final third then absolutely nothing up top.

We are ravaged by injuries but I still don't understand the team selection, when we have more attacking players on the bench. Maloney really needs to try something different on Saturday.

We simply can't play Campbell and Wright in midfield v St Johnstone as neither offer any attacking threat whatsoever. JDH is there as the holding midfielder and we need to play Henderson, Jasper and Melkerson from the start.

Jasper thinks he’s Maradonna in his Napoli days, tries to take on the whole team and score a worldly every time, lads got promise but this part of his play has to improve imo

Harsh. Only one looks slightly out the ordinary. Would rather watch him do his thing ten times and get one right rather than Bushiri to porteous to Hayes back to Bushiri repeat x 100

Aye right, couldnt find a Hibs player all night, his passing is poor to average, and in games where we have most of the ball he's just filling a jesrsey, christ i'd rather see Newell in there.

Not judging anyone just pointing out that he brought them on, they will get better just as Hibs will get better, we had 10 players out tonight yet some still think we should be playing like Barca ffs.

Have we become a dirty team or is this just yet another ref who had it in for us?

Once again another dire ref, gave us nothing, should have shown a red in 1st half to Dundee player for karate kick on Doigs head.

9 league games since New Year. We've scored in two of them. The attack was completely dependent on Boyle, both for his goals and for his ability to create chances for others, even if only by taking defenders away from other duties to mark him. The midfield do the defensive jobs well but aren't creative. A lot to do in the summer recruitment.

He brought them on, still no goals.

There’s absolutely no supply from midfield though. There’s a disconnect from playing the ball, slowly, about the back to then actually getting it fed in to the forwards.

On the face of it a decent point.

Multiple injuries then a daft red card. No cutting edge but then we all know about that by now. Hibs nil will be heard a fair few times more between now and May.
I don't know many Hibs fans that would think that was a decent point.

OK we have plenty injury problems but we could still field a decent enough starting 11 that we should expect to win this game. Against bottom of the league just skelped 0-4 at home on the Saturday. With the league as tight as it is these games are vital right now. Missed opportunity.

I don't completely disagree, there just needs to be a balance. That balance will hopefully come the more he plays and gets used to his team etc. But on more than one occasion he had a good pass on then decided to try and skin a player and lost the ball. Frustrating like I said.

Feels like we’ve regressed back to the pre-Leann days. Difficult to see how this current crop of players is going to lift us out of this malaise. Seriously need some proven talent in the team. Not just prospects for the future.

We could have all the star players we want but once they are asked to play this particular way it won't matter. We don't give any decent service to a striker. It's incredibly borin g to watch, can only imagine how bad it is for a CF to play in!

Looked lively, only concern is melkerson looks a bit lightweight to play up top on his own, would like to see him start with doidge and we be more attaching, far to negative

Yep ,given where we are are MAloney must be flexible and look at playing the two upfront,Doidge and Melkerson .

Laddie stifled the midfield,if he’d been subbed we would’ve conceded a lot more of the ball.

Very poor result and was very dull football. Way too slow and far too much safety first options. We play some nice football at times but really need to commit more bodies to our attack.We actually looked more threatening after Rockys red. Probably as Dundee came out more and also Jasper made a difference.

Who are the better players on the bench that will get us goals then? 10 men on the park with 10 men out injured dont know what some on Hibs.net expects.
:flag::flag::flag:

I'm happy with the point given the red but the football is still crap. Despite our injuries I expect to beat the bottom team in the league.

You watched the game yourself to see why Japser should be starting ahead of Wright and as much as his best days are behind him I'd probably start Allan ahead of him also.

Doidge has also been poor since returning from injury and doesn't look anywhere near scoring either so surely Melkerson is worthy of a start? I appreciate we can't do much in midfield but we took of our best player... Unless other players are carrying knocks and the subs were forced some.of the decisions leave me scratching my head.

We were short of strikers from the summer window. Selling our most potent attacking player halfway through the season on top of that was only going to end one way. I’m surprised people are surprised. We have practically no goal threat since Boyle was sold.

Yeah that’s the thing. Every time we have an injury we get told they are close to returning and it drags in.

Nisbet

They would have made a huge difference tonight.

Then chuck in Clarke who hopefully is the player we are expecting him to be.

It's an absolute chore to watch this team. Pass, pass, pass, pass, lose possession, scramble, pass, pass, pass, nothing happens.

Feeling almost entirely apathetic about Hibs for the first time since the Calderwood days.

There’s 11 players injured most of which would’ve been in the first team, we all want to win but you can’t just forget the facts and lay it all on maloney, how about how solid we are defensively since he came in? Where’s the goals from crosses suddenly dissapeared too? it’s not like nothing is improving let the guy get a settled squad to choose from and everyone fit and training

4 games without defeat 1 goal conceded

Didn't lose the game, played a third of it with 10 men, rotten pitch, injuries are crippling any momentum or chance to have a settled side. Melkerson getting game time is a positive, Jasper always looks a threat and plays with his head up. Other midfielders in the side just don't have the mindset to drive at opposing players and commit them, beat them and create space in final third. They are far too passive.

Summer window is going to have to be a belter in terms of pace and creativity in midfield - there's no one centrally I can see having any attacking impact on games. Wright, Campbell, Doyle-Hayes, Lewy.........never going to open up defences with those players making up a midfield. Dare I say, won't happen when Newell comes back either. I'd drop Jasper into the 10 role, he seems to be a player who isn't scared to take men on and actually create.

You're right, but only because we again failed to recruit adequately in January. We needed to recruit in attacking positions even without Boyle leaving and didn't.

Spot on. Henderson is showing up to be half decent and Jasper carries the ball well but is a wee bit greedy. Apart from that the midfield are robotically programmed to retain possession by going backwards and sideways 9 times out of 10. We're slow and boring for the most part. Crap really.

So your guess is as good as mine. Could be a good reason... might be a misguided one.

Appreciate giving them a chance to ease in in but they've both been here almost 2 months now. By the time they're 'ready' the season will be done.

Lastly almost everyone on this forum supports the club and players, don't see what that's got to do with anything. If someone is playing poorly and has been consistently poor then it's right that we discuss it. Not sure what you're getting at with your last comment.

We are on a reasonable run at the moment. Four unbeaten losing only 1 goal including against probably the best team in the country. Tonight wasn't a great result but bit of context we are out of 10 players and played 30 mins with ten. Absolutely not in a mess get a grip.

I just don't really get any negative RG comments after bad results. The guy has pumped some amount of money into us since buying us and we've been as active in the transfer windows (paying some big fees) as I can remember since supporting Hibs.

It's criticisms for the sake of it and boring, just like the "big screen" crap that some posters spout.

Can’t see them being healthy at all. No-one’s desperate to shell out hundreds of pounds to be subjected to the football we’ve been recently
Do you really think any team in Scotland could have an injury list like we have and be successful? We all know it’s not great at the moment but some of the comments on here tonight are beyond belief. Winning football matches is not as easy as you seem to think.

It’s incredibly difficult to get on board with your view when we can barely even muster anything close to a goal against the worst side in the league

We could be sitting top of the league and you would still find something to complain about, we are going through a tough time with injuries new manager trying to implement his style and it will take time, some folk on here need to realise that and get behind the team rather than having a hissy fit every game.

Maloney will get more players in this summer and a few will leave, it wasn’t all going to happen in the last window.

We dont know why he never played Jasper the whole game I suspect he had good reason, Also sure he will bring in the two Norwegian guys slowly as no good just throwing new young players into a game. our subs at times leave me scratching my head but have to think that Maloney has his reasons, i tend to tey and support whatever players have that green jersey on.

Maloney probably seen the pitch and thought Jasper would better coming on as a sub rather than starting game, we have enough injuries to deal with and picking up more on the that pitch would have played on Maloneys mind.

A barrel load of injuries and a Rocky suspension to add to it. I thought the team put out tonight was still more than capable of beating them though.

Positive is that we looked pretty solid defensively again.

I am worried about how we are going to score goals with key attackers missing. Doidge doesn’t look the same after his injury, Doyle Hayes and Campbell aren’t going to go past a man and break the lines.

Enjoyed the enthusiasm of Melkersen when he came on, trying to get the crowd going. Will soon be a fan favourite if he can be the one to get us those goals.

A full house on Saturday in a must win if we want top six. Other results have been going for us but that won’t last.

Correct, it’s like watching paint dry. We have more possession than the opposing team but it’s possession for possession sake. We pass the ball but in the wrong areas especially along our back line.

The lack of goals is really concerning for me.

We've only scored 28 goals in our 29 league games so far and 10 of those goals came in our first 4 matches of the season so just 18 goals in our last 25 league matches which is really poor.

Every team plays like that now. Football is pretty much played like basketball now as teams defend so deep. I watched Man City pass the ball for 60 mins last night sideways until the got a break and they have some of the best players on the planet.

Celtic passed the ball sideways against us for 90 mins and struggled to break us down.

Doidge is just not looking like he will be the player we know he can be so with Nesbit out and Boyle sold our top three scorers are now for different reasons not scoring any
The young Norwegian guy may be the answer in time ,but it would be a lot of pressure on him if it’s solely now left to him to score week in week out
With ten men for a large part of the second half a draw is decent but the lack of goals could soon cost us our top six place if we don’t find a solution

More than the lack of goals its the lack of ability to create good opportunities. You could count on one hand the number of times we've had a goalie at full stretch over a period of weeks.

We need to find away to play forward quicker and be more incisive. Thankfully we have qn encouraging fixture on Saturday at home vs another struggling side in a packed stadium. Hopefully see the new guys on the pitch and have a positive day all round.

Agreed, we’d lost 7 of our last 10 games under Ross. We’ve got slightly better.

Yeah, definitely needed addressed.

I do feel for him losing Boyle though. He took over a team that had absolutely collapsed and only had one real threatening player. The best player by a mile outside the OF and then he had him sold after 2 games.

We should have recruited better but the Boyle shaped hole is the biggest issue imo. If he was still here I genuinely think we’d be closer to 3rd than 5th.

There is no danger Maloney is sitting thinking we’re good IMO, despite what he’s saying.

One thing that isn’t in doubt is that they are playing for him. We’re crap, but it’s not down to lack of effort or application. Think he’s going for the opposite of the Terry Butcher approach from a motivation point of view.

Completely agree huge game changing decisions. I could probably accept the Rocky card if at least one of their players had walked also.

Under Maloney we drew 0 0 with Dundee 4 days after Livi spanked them 4 0. We are massively under performing this season. The only bright spots have been the cup runs.

I wonder if privately Maloney is navigating us to end of season, then ripping the team up and starting again.

Hopefully Goodwin at Dons gets some cash from sale of Ferguson and takes Magennis off our hands. If we can get our cash back, it makes sense.

Under Maloney we drew with Celtic who had won 9 league games in a row.

Are we a good team? No, we’re not great.

You said there hadn’t been any improvement though. It’s quite simply incorrect. The results show that we’ve improved a decent bit from when we sacked JR.

I genuinely do not see any improvement going forward. We were turgid under JR and we are slightly worse/the same under Maloney. We have had no new manager bounce of any note (granted that was curtailed by Covid shutdown).

We are under performing this season under both Jack Ross and Maloney. Even with all our injuries, we should still be doing better than we are.

Genuine question, what team in the league would be performing better than us just now with a full squads worth of players out injured?

There is no danger Maloney is sitting thinking we’re good IMO, despite what he’s saying.

One thing that isn’t in doubt is that they are playing for him. We’re crap, but it’s not down to lack of effort or application. Think he’s going for the opposite of the Terry Butcher approach from a motivation point of view.

I agree the guys are putting in a shift for him. That however is a minimum requirement and it helps he has good honest pro's through out the squad.

i thought at the time David Gray/Eddie May should have been given the gig until the end of the season and nothing I have seen from Shaun Maloneys team has changed my opinion.

We were in a bit of a mess which is why he got the gig. Appointing him wasn’t just about this season though. With an injury crisis and the sale of his best player he’s not exactly had the easiest of starts.

Putting a shift in is the minimum requirement but you see players getting managers sacked all the time by not doing it.

We’re crap but we’re still in a better position than the way it was going at the start of December IMO.

Under Maloney we’ve played 13, won 5, drawn 4, lost 4. That’s a significant improvement on where we were under Ross towards the end.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re still poor. But we’ve absolutely improved, of that I’ve no doubt.


I think we need to be patient and hopefully the goals will come.

We’re pretty dysfunctional in attack tbh but if our forward players click then we will see the results come.

I think they will come, I must admit to being concerned as to whether that’ll be this season though. We just do not have the options to change things. Hopefully Melkersen can be the rabbit out the hat we need.

top of the league :hyper though they said 9 red cards on the radio last night so either the table needs updated or two were for cup games

Three in one game as well, some achievement that. Seems like so long ago that game.

i think Rocky already has four or five yellows with one of those coming in the Arbroath cup game

If our main strikers aren’t scoring or even look like scoring why are they still playing? and the young lads not getting a game?

The football is so boring just now. We just don’t score goals.

It’s a grim view

When you consider the number of 1st team players missing, the weather, the awful pitch and the weird refereeing, I think a point will do. It's a patchwork team. In terms of how we're actually playing, I think we're better defensively, making fewer mistakes in midfield, and just lacking the right final pass going forward. Not to mention lacking an in-form striker.

Step forward Mr Melkerson.......

I dunno why but I'm bizarrely more intrigued by what Hauge is going to offer. Think he'll be a really direct attacking player and hope both Norwegian boys get a proper chance to show what they can do.

Both of them really put themselves about, which was good to see. Hopefully they get more game time at the weekend.

Because they are more likely to score, and are better footballers. Doidge playing is a far better option than an 17 year old.

The enthusiasm of him and Melkerson got the crowd going. Look like confident boys. Played, or tried to play, without any fear. We need some of that on Saturday.

I wonder if privately Maloney is navigating us to end of season, then ripping the team up

Hopefully Goodwin at Dons gets some cash from sale of Ferguson and takes Magennis off our hands. If we can get our cash back, it makes sense.
Think Goodwin probably knows it would be a big risk to pay money for Magennis.

How often do you see a team get pumped then perform much better the very next game? Last night wasn't a given.

I think it was a given we'd pass the ball around the back all night, and create next to nothing going forward.

Hibs 'hold talks' with SFA over 'refereeing inconsistencies' after Dundee flashpoints - Football Scotland (https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/hibs-hold-talks-sfa-over-23283430?fbclid=IwAR2jS8DaD2ZtE5v2Foq8_l0_HCshh8EC 6TkSKdlyRYOBCfo38RdSkxfn0Uw)


It comes a month after CEO Ben Kensell revealed he'd had discussions with Head of Refereeing Operations Crawford Allan to address similar concerns.

Very frustrating again last night for me, we look decent enough passing it about at the back and out wide but again the final third is the problem.

Subs definitely changed that a little and with our injuries there is no reason for Melkersen and Hauge to not be getting more involved now.

Had Dundee commentary and he had a nightmare with the biggest one of the night was thinking jaspar was Hauge even when Hauge came on he just kept rolling with it.

It is when you slaep the guy with the back of your hand, stupid by Rocky whether it was meant or not.

Just stupid and a straight red for me
