I think I know the answer to this but...
Would you say our season is a write off?
We're still in the Scottish Cup but, as we can't score a goal, it's highly unlikely we'll go very far in that.

4th place gets European football and we’re in 4th place. Nowhere near a wright off for me.

I remember that argument being used the season we were relegated, everyone including myself tried to ignore the fact that we were terrible because of our league position, we all know how that worked out. Thankfully we won’t have any worries like that this season, but our league position shouldn’t be used as a comfort blanket when 1 defeat could drop us 3 or 4 places.

We have only won one league game in the last 10 and only scored in 2 of those games. We won’t be top 6 or in the cup for long at this rate and we can count our selfs lucky that Dundee and St Johnstone are far enough away.

It was the second we hired a guy with zero managerial experience tbh.
We wrote the season off when we sold Boyle. We were already short of attacking goal scorers/goal makers and we got rid of our only only one. We had no way of improving after that, it was inevitable that we’d struggle to score. Nothing will change my mind on that. Sacking Ross then selling Boyle was always about next season.
He's here!
05-03-2022, 05:29 PM

Neither did Mowbray or Stubbs if 'zero managerial experience' means 'only' being an assistant manager.
How would any manager get a start in the role if they had to already be a manager before getting a job?
I didn't agree with sacking Ross and I've got no idea if Maloney is the right choice but he needs more time than he's had so far before we write off the season.

I think the season was a write off much earlier than before Maloney arrived. For most of the season it’s felt like a season we’re just waiting to be over.
I think what we’re seeing now is simply the reality of this Hibs team without Boyle. He papered over the many many attacking cracks. Maloney and the recruitment team deserve criticism for not addressing the midfield and striker situation with someone who could make an immediate impact. However Ross and the recruitment team deserve criticism for the non midfield Maloney inherited and an attacking threat that equated to Boyle and not much else. I feel sorry for Maloney in relation to our current problems and what he inherited.

Both had pre seasons to get ideas across, sign players, and both had shaky starts. Mowbray had brilliant young players, especially going forward, and Stubbs played against awful opposition most weeks.
Shaun has nothing going for him tbh. I'm not writing him off, but season is absolutely written off.

What’s the difference between writing him off and saying he’s got nothing going for him? They sound much the same things. Many negatives to his time so far but is our defensive record under him not something going for him?

Yup.
We’re 4th in the league and in the QF of the cup. To be 4th at this stage of the season would suggest we’ve been the 4th best team.
We were 7th when JR left and 5th when Maloney took over I’m sure.
All the way down to 5th place will most likely get European spots. The season being a write off is laughable tbh.

I actually think we will have a better end to the season if we finish top 6 than if we drop out in the next couple of weeks. If we do sneak into that top 6 then 5th could well be good enough for Europe.
I wish this season was over because it's unbearably dull but there is still plenty to play for even if I'm dubious about us being good enough to achieve any of it.

We need goals. I honestly don’t where they are going to come from. I don’t even blame Maloney, he knows what the issue is as he has spoken about it. Without players with the quality to do anything about it we are stuck, a full team of first team players out injured or suspended isn’t ideal.

Things are far far far from perfect but I'm racking my brains to think of exactly when we developed these delusions of greatness when being 4th in the league, already played a cup final and in the quarters of the Scottish Cup was even considered a "write off".

It just feels like a massive chore just now. I came away today just wishing it was late July next. Season seems to have gone on forever and there’s no getting away from the fact we’re struggling. Genuinely like Aberdeen last season, hearts are miles ahead without looking special and we can’t buy a goal.
One win could be good enough to get top 6 the way things are going. Fingers crossed for that, get a few big games after the split and hopefully get top 5 and a win next weekend which would all but guarantee European football.
Avoid defeat at Pitoddrie and bear United at home and we will finish 4th IMO.

I wouldn't say right now our season is over. We have a Scottish Cup Quarter Final coming up gainst an equally out of form Motherwell team and are currently 4th place in the league. However things could easily go pear shaped over the next few weeks.
It's a bizarre league when so few points separate so many teams. Over the next 4 weeks we could as easily be in a Scottish Cup semi final and in contention for a European spot or be out of the cup and in the bottom 6 and nothing to play for. Each are a possibility but right now, no our season is definitely not over. Hopefully Mickelson gets up to speed as he looks like he has goals in him.

Scored 4 goals.
Conceded 8 goals
Picked up 8/30 points
Scored 4 goals in our last 6 home games since the season resumed.
Its no wonder folk aren't happy, it's grim stuff. Injuries yes, granted however we have to be doing so much better. We might be 4th in the league but we are 13 points behind Hearts and we are only one defeat away from 8th or 9th place. We could very easily end up in the bottom 6 in a few weeks.

I think most fans do get what maloney is trying to do, we get it.
However
The injuries we have got and personnel missing I think he is missing a trick in not telling the players to be more direct whilst he gets his better players back. Player for player in the league we are prob in top 4/5 with natural ability.
Next season is the time to really rubber stamp the maloney way of playing.
The lack of bite up front is depressing, I couldn’t believe doidge came out second half, he looks like a Sunday league player and how on earth we were bigging him up not too long ago for international recognition is frightening. One paced and lack of raw skill.
I come over from Fife and sitting in that traffic on ferry road inbound and outbound with two young kids at home you do begin to wonder is a day out at the football worth it when you see 90 minutes of slow, ponderous somewhat predictable football.
If Kensell is hoping the football for a fiver was going to reinvigorate the fans back it sadly failed for a few folk I’m sure
I am a fan of maloney and back him he’s been terribly unlucky with injuries and the player recruitment has generally looked better.
But like anything in football, fans want to see a winning team

It’s all the same really though isn’t it?
You won’t get points if you don’t win games, you won’t win games without scoring goals and you won’t score goals without creating chances.
The defence is fine, it’s really tightened up under Maloney and Caldwell and there could be an argument that the ‘foundations’ are in place to build on the solid defence but creating virtually zero chances will result in more nil nils, I’m afraid.

4 goals scored in our last 10 league games since returning from the winter break is hugely concerning. Also just 5 league wins in the last 5 months (going back 23 matches) makes for horrific reading.

Where there's life there's hope, but the absolute truth is that since Maloney arrived we have scored 8 goals in 12 games and only 2 in our last 6 games. If we can't sort that out we will be lucky to make the top 6 and have little chance of getting much further in the cup.
There's a load of reasons for it, the loss of Boyle has been massive and you couldn't make up our bad luck with injuries, you could practically have made up a team from the injured players who could probably beat our staring XI today, chuck in a manager trying to change the style of play while hardly being able to pick the same team from game to game and it's no wonder we are toiling.
The season isn't a write off yet, but we are going to need a massive turn around in fortune to stop it being by the beginning of April.

Having no pace in the team and knowing it but not doing a thing about it is every bit as bad as, if not worse than, Mathie failing to get Jack Ross a striker and a CB.

We're still in the Scottish Cup but, as we can't score a goal, it's highly unlikely we'll go very far in that.
I said as much way back when the knives were out for Jack, we were hit with crucial injuries to vital players and I think he deserved to see the season out at least.
Now that Nisbet's out I don't think we'll go far in the cup either but the season's already a write off.

I dont think its a write off, Maloney is building a team(whether I agree he is the right guy to be doing this is another point) the whole league is tom kite, were amazingly still 4th:confused: if we could get one or two key players back from injury, get to the final of the cup, whats not to like.

No chance is it a write off. The league is so poor this season that we somehow find ourselves in fourth despite having to play our reserves every week. Europe is still very much on.

More than just being 4th, we’ve actually climbed up to 4th.
It would make more sense if we were dropping like a stone and people wanted to write off this season but we’re somehow going UP the table.
In no way is the season a write off imo.

[QUOTE=Stubbsy90+2;6880934]4th place gets European football and we’re in 4th place. Nowhere near a wright off for me.[/QUOTE
With the split and hardly any points between a number of teams, this is the season the team in 4th get into Europe but have less points than the teams in 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th!! 😂

Madness to think that. 5th will most likely also get Europe so the chances of that are even higher!

Hibs have every chance of making the top 4 and the season is not a write off, if the Norwegians can hit the ground running and key players return from injuries there will be a significant difference.

I think most fans do get what maloney is trying to do, we get it.
However
The injuries we have got and personnel missing I think he is missing a trick in not telling the players to be more direct whilst he gets his better players back. Player for player in the league we are prob in top 4/5 with natural ability.
Next season is the time to really rubber stamp the maloney way of playing.
The lack of bite up front is depressing, I couldn’t believe doidge came out second half, he looks like a Sunday league player and how on earth we were bigging him up not too long ago for international recognition is frightening. One paced and lack of raw skill.
I come over from Fife and sitting in that traffic on ferry road inbound and outbound with two young kids at home you do begin to wonder is a day out at the football worth it when you see 90 minutes of slow, ponderous somewhat predictable football.
If Kensell is hoping the football for a fiver was going to reinvigorate the fans back it sadly failed for a few folk I’m sure
I am a fan of maloney and back him he’s been terribly unlucky with injuries and the player recruitment has generally looked better.
But like anything in football, fans want to see a winning team
I don't.

Season definitely not a write off.
Whoever gets fourth will surely do so with the lowest points total to get it for a long time. A couple of wins and a couple of draws might about be enough.
We also have the cup to play for. We could win the three ties by drawing 0-0 which were quite good at.

Still alot of new players and injuries just now, not conceding goals which is good, just need someone to put it in the net and we'll be solid. Hopefully the Scottish Cup we'll start seeing the goals again.

We're almost closer to 12th than 3rd.
Not having a pop at you here, but over the last few years, we've seen quite a lot of our support worry about where we could finish, rather than where we are currently.
In fact as recent as under Lennon, we had folk going radio rental at the team and management when they were 2nd in the league, and winning through a couple of rounds in Europe.
More and more people are scared of their own shadow, and definitely glass half full fans.
I'm struggling to think of any scenario Hibs could be in these days, that will keep some folk happy?

Against all odds we're somehow still 4th and in the Scottish Cup.
Plenty to play for and tbh the squad need commended for still being in with a shout at success considering this is effectively our B team.
Plus, I want top six so we actually have a shot at shutting the Hertz up for one game.

1 win in 10 league games, yet somehow still 4th. What a bizzare season.

I've known plenty seasons come the first week in March when we were out the Scottish Cup and nowhere in the league so I wouldn't class it as a write off just yet

We’ve had 2 in the last 6?
Or do you mean earlier in the season under JR?

We've not had two wins in our last six league games.
You need to go back 11 league games for two victories.

Unbeaten in 4. You have to go away up to 2nd to see a record like that :wink:

Neither we have. I think I’ve read the St Mirren game as a Hibs win when I looked back!

I was swithering a little when I started this thread but I think it's pretty obvious now.
Bottom six and about to get humped at Hampden; it hardly fills me with enthusiasm.

Season was over when we binned a good manager a week before a cup final. Only an absolute fud of a ceo would even consider that.
