CHANGE THE FORMATION ……It’s been 5 months, it doesn’t work Shaun

[LunasBoots]

Midfeilds been clueless all season, the lack of forward thinking midfielders has been obvious for so long now something should have been don't in January same with replacing our best player who carried us for long enough which we didn't do. Striker wise we just don't have a striker with something about him, threadbare aswell.

[Nicho87]

Ron Gordon master plan too be scrutinised

All this guff of Seville and athletico

Get a grip

Big screens the highlight of the season says it all

[madhatter]

I'll watch the game next week but this season has been a write off for a long long time. We've been living in hope since before Jack Ross departed.

This squad should never have been allowed to happen. Signing players with injury records, having senior pros unable to play football anymore, signing loans from England (we have bad history on this).

I'm definitely starting to think we've been sold a dream, verging on a lie now.

Club have hired good talkers more than anything.

[Stevie Reid]

Decision to rip everything up and start all over again in November seemed a strange one at the time, and looks an absolutely disastrous one now.

New manager required, along with a massive clear out in the summer.

The midfield has been an issue since the cup winning side, we were never going to replace a McGinn type but we have made an absolute hash of getting anywhere near it. This, together with our over reliance on Boyle, and that goes back to NLs time here points to consecutive, shambolic transfer windows. The top brass at the club have a lot to answer for at the moment.

It has all the Hallmarks of our relegation season. Maloney might congratulate the players down rather than shout at them but there is enough similarities. The team look completely clueless as to what they are meant to be doing, we have very little fight about us and look the least fit team in the league and it is difficult to see where our next point comes from. We could easily lose all five post split games and be in real trouble and it doesn't make it easier that defeat next week would see Hearts guarantee a group place in Europe moving them even further ahead financially.

We appear a bit of a shambles from top to bottom with key positions filled by people that don't look like they know what they are doing.

I hope we can get an early win in the bottom six as it could get far too interesting if we get beat off St Johnstone or Dundee in the first game or they both win and we get beat. I could see us crumbling under any pressure and SM will be in the crosshairs if we capitulate so easily next week

[Unseen work]

What now?

Stay in the league.

The quicker the players realise we’re in a relegation battle the better, I’ve got the real fear that they dismiss it thinking they’re too good similar to the butcher era and then we find ourselves down.

Every team in the bottom 6 will be looking at us and thinking that’s where we get points.

[Northernhibee]

Classy.

Tell me I’m wrong.

Hard to argue against such a strong worded post though. Many will share that view in the immediate aftermath while tempers are still frayed.

We are bottom six and have relegation to worry about. Today and the last few months won't be forgotten until we are clear of that. a cup final would be great and would give us something to look forward to particularly as it could deny Hearts a group stage in Europe at our expense but I can't see us beating Hearts and one of the Uglies so the league is my main concern and we are not guaranteed to be in it next year with Maloney in the hot seat.

[Glory Lurker]

I'm with you 100%. Losing the play off to Falkirk was one of my worst Hibs experiences. At the time. Stopped bothering me in the slightest eight days later.

[Hiber-nation]

Tell me I’m wrong.

Prick? Really?

[The Modfather]

Try to avoid a heavy defeat next week, get the U18s promoted and playing and rejoice when we can see the back of this season.

Mathematically we could end up in the playoffs but it’s highly unlikely given each team is playing each other.

Yes. I don’t want to hear from him, I don’t want to see his face or hear his “vision”. Not after that hat he’s done to our club in something like four months. He’s an impostor and must know that he’s out of his depth yet collects a pay packet. Games where we’ve barely mustered a shot on target and he’s wittering on about how well we did. I’d say go back to punditry but he’s ****ing murder at that too.

You really believe we will win next week after that second half??

Today was important for top 6 and a chance for Europe.

Losing today puts us in a fight to avoid a relegation playoff. Who are we going to beat? These players don’t care.

They are bottlers end off and a big clear out is needed.

players on good money are just not good enough.

If the players can't see how unacceptable the second half performance was then I don't know what will get them motivated for 90 mins next week.

As a few others have said it's times for a formation and different approach as I really have no hope for next season if he persists with it.

I said last season that this group of players will continually let us down. Some squads have something about them and this squad has nothing, manager included

[truehibernian]

What now ? We stick by the manager and allow him to cull the squad of the utter mediocrity and imbalance created by Ross. Also - time to be ruthless next season and release players who are quite simply not good enough, unreliable through injury, and been at the club too long. Sentiment doesn’t win football games.

Today was predictable when I saw the line up and more importantly the subs bench. Hearts had impact players they could bring on, and bearing in mind they’re under strength, that speaks volumes about their good recruitment this year.

We need experience in the middle and up top, creativity centrally and wide, and to lose this sentimental streak of keeping players like Hanlon, Lewis and Darren ‘just because’ and they ‘know the club’. John McGinn and Grant Holt weren’t lifelong Hibs fans but bust a gut and fought as if they were.

For me - the following should go next season:

Scott
Wright
Paul McGinn
Hanlon
Daz
Lewis
Bushiri
Campbell
Allan

Blank canvas, huge recruitment drive, start blooding young players from a good U18 side. Get an experienced leader in the middle area, experienced striker to compliment what we have, and look at really building an attacking side. It’ll cost money and Ron has to cough up - simple as that - that’s what owning a football club means.

I’m not in the Shaun out camp, I think he’s inherited a very bland, uninspiring squad of players with no character or real minerals. That’s Jack Ross and Heckingbottom’s fault in my opinion. Some of the contract lengths handed out are ridiculous too.

We were third last season due to a poor league, no fans, and no derbies. No real pressure. This season the character of players has been found out. They buckle.

The squad needs real investment and that’ll have to come from the owner, who has himself withdrawn into his shell of late.

Build an experienced spine and fill around it with youth, creativity, and character.

[Rondon]

Yeah I never understood why maloney never signed more.

Even with melkerson when he first came in he talked about his as more one for the future so just say he’d ended up in development I’m really not sure what maloney was going to do.

Is doidge injured btw? I’d b more likely to play whim with melkerson next sat If he’s available

Agree completely with character.

Look back at who we had at the club when we won the cup. Fontaine hosting Fontaine of Knowledge and signing songs about Hibs, McGregor and Gray battling for everything, McGinn doing virtually everything (being a joker off the pitch), Cummings (being arrogant and the joker). List could go on.

Character is vitally important. Especially if Ron Gordon wants us to become like Atletico Madrid or Sevilla (in culture). Atleti have shown the desire and passion of their manager for years now. That's borne out of culture and strong characters in the dressing room who make sure new players buy into the philosophy etc.

Into the mix. I’m aware we can’t get rid of them all but they’re all dragging us down imo.

The lack of character in this squad is making it impossible to get results and impossible to engage with them. Two things which make good season ticket uptake also impossible.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Worst sticking plaster if we do win....its happened before. And we suffered more and more sh$t after i good result. The rot is there...semi win wont reverse it.

No it wont reverse it, but it will buy us time. Lose that game and all we have left is a battle to avoid a play off spot and even if we do that it will not spare us from 5 year low ST sales and an inability to bring in new players of any quality.

Win that semi final and we at least keep the season going until the end of May with the proceeds from a cup final in the coffers, not to mention that such a positive semi final result might just keep a few ST holders on board. Lose it and we have a 3 to 4 year rebuilding job on our hands with questions to be asked about a new management team as well.

Believe me if winning next Saturday fools the owners of this club into thinking they don't have a massive rebuilding job on their hands then they have no business being anywhere near it, win or lose it's staring them in the face. Even so, losing it will magnify every ill we have just now a hundred fold, we need to win this game.

[Sir David Gray]

I'd personally play the big guns next week and then also in our first post-split match and if we win it I'd be playing the youth team in the last four matches.

It has been said that summer targets have been spoken to, The rebuild has started with Shaun at the centre.
So, maybe anything this season, with the current group of players is a bonus.
The real Hibs, the planned Hibs, the planned team, set up and style we’re never going to be here this season.
Next season though!

Limited choices but:-

Change formation.

Porteous and Stevenson in back four with Cadden and Hanlon.

Midfield must change. I would put Clarke in beside Newell to give us some strength. I would have Henderson is for some energy and to support Melkerson and Jasper.

If Doidge fit I would even consider starting to try and hold up ball and Melkerson off him.

We have limited hope but we need to change it big time.

Henderson in for some energy was a surprise to me. He shows very little movement and is ineffective when we don't have the ball. Doubt he will ever be a regular starter. Doidge is done for at least this season and I don't think Clarke is a player for centre midfield but possibly worth a try. I'd have him in front of Cadden with Doig and Jasper on the other side. Lewis would go in beside Newell for me and it seems crazy he was dropped after being our best player for a few games.

[CentreLine]

How about we play some of the young team. Give them a chance to mature and play for their place in the squad next season. We may as well because this season is finished for us. At least getting a chance to see the youngsters up against premiership (albeit bottom half) opposition might enthuse a decent support. Right now I for one am suffering a huge dose of apathy.

I will not be buying a ticket for the semi-final. Up to now I have been consistent about renewing my ST but that view is slipping rapidly. I probably will but it will likely be a donation rather than a commitment to come watch crap. In over fifty five years of ups and downs, this one may finally do for me.

Does it really matter when we are not being offered the slightest bit if entertainment? There is a reason the fans came flooding back when Tony Mowbray cut his teeth in management. Entertainment was guaranteed. Maybe not consistent results but we knew we were going to see a show. Similarly under McLeish and Lennon (mostly).

[Bertie Wooster]

First posting , so bear with me.

Being a season ticjet holder it would be easy to be angry at what is on display on the field just now , but I am trying to look at this as a step towards the bigger picture.

Comparing Hibs with clubs like Brentford who do something different , I think you have to go "all in" and give it time. This means having transition seasons (plural) but with that there has to be signs of progress. I can see why Jack Ross was sacked , even if the timing seemed odd , and I thnk there will be some more bumps in the road , but the club needs patience to stick with what we are doing. Unfortunately , this is something a number of fans are not willing to give. Yes its a bad season , but last seasons 3,4,5 & 6th place (including one team who one both cup trophies) are in the bottom six.

The club is also learning a lot about itself , through the structure and recruitment , and probably Ron Gordon is understanding that you cant get success quickly with Scottish football. But I dont think the strategy will change because they have invested so much, the new regime understand business and realise this will take a few years before they start to see the results they want.

Yes , I think there will be high tunover of players in the summer and if Maloney goes , there will be a search for a manager to play similar style of football. There has been too much invested to give up so quickly.
