[SHODAN]

Marshall, Cadden, Bushiri, Porteous, Miller, Kenneh, Newell, Melkersen, Henderson, McGeady, Doidge

It’s a genuine worry we still seem to be lacking quality when the seasons a couple weeks away

[SChibs]

I thought Miller could play RB or LB or am I mistaken? I'd have thought he would be picked to fill in on the left over Cadden if so

[The Captain....]

Started a bit slowly, slack passing, particularly Kenneh who is careless in possession. Moving the ball too slowly and poor movement off the ball. Should still be winning this comfortably I'd hope but would've liked to have seen us be a bit brighter.

Morton look reasonably comfortable .

[Heisenberg]

Kenneh is really poor on the ball from what I’ve seen so far. Really needs to improve in that area.

[JammyDoidger]

Grim viewing so far, every game ive watched Kenneh he's gave it away needlessly, needs to improve on that or we will be punished against teams at our level.

[Springbank]

Sounds like we could use more dynamic pace up top

[CL0762]

Still zero pace in this side.

[Vault Boy]

I think this is a poorer performance than against Falkirk so far. A bit surprised by how disjointed we look given we’re at home and how important the game is.

[Shrekko]

Don’t know what’s irritating me more - this non-performance or the constant drivel from the commentary.

[one day maybe...]

Morton already time wasting, Johnson getting at the ref about it.

Should be getting at the players to move the ball quicker and make sure our passes hit a man in green. :greengrin

Early days but I've not seen much improvement from last season, except Henderson.

Also not sure what Kenneh offers that say a Gogic doesn't.

As I said it's early days and I hope I'm proved to be talking nonsense once the league gets underway.

I don’t think having Cadden on the left is helping at all.

Mcgready holding onto the ball too long. Pass it man.

[Hibs90]

McGeady is not great so far.
Neither is the commentary, doesn’t half talk some amount of drivel.

[Shrekko]

I think he's watching a different game from me!

He’s utterly clueless but can’t stop talking - shouldn’t be anywhere near the commentary box.

[LunasBoots]

Henderson probably our best player so far, otherwise nothing to write home about, struggling to create in the final third with too many passes between midfield and attack just not happening.

[Andymac85]

On a positive note, their number 5 looks like an absolute bomb scare.

[Stevie Reid]

Too many players wanting too many touches.

[Ozyhibby]

Kenneh at least shows for the ball in midfield.

I’m a lot more worried about Miller.[emoji51]

Miller brutal there. New signings not giving me much confidence from what I've seen so far. Much the same as last season. So one paced.

I'd do it for free if Hibs need someone.

Pretty sure I could do a better job.

He’s never a LB in a million years.

Having to cut back into his right foot to cross takes loads away from his game.

We don’t look like conceding tbf but it’s dreadful going forward.

Quite happy with Newell tonight tbh. Putting his foot on the ball and showing a bit of calmness amongst the crap.

[tonyrougier123]

Gonny be a long hard season if we think this is good enough.

Hibs very lethargic

Hibs TV commentary very poor

[Sir David Gray]

Cabraja, Tavares and Youan will need to be something special if their introduction is going to turn this current side into top 3 contenders.

[badabing67]

Quite disappointing so far, expected a bit more by this stage. Start of the season could be rough unless Youan and Tavares turn out to be class

[HH81]

Goal of the season contender. Just passed the post.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

That was fantastic. Very unlucky from Miller. Started with very positive pass through from newell to hendo who was unlucky not to get shot away himself

[H18 SFR]

I really like Doidge but I think in games like this we need runners in behind to stretch them the compact Morton defence. I’d like to see the midfield finding the runs of Melkerson. He’s always on the move.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Morton don't need to do much to contain us. How many unforced free kicks are we going to give away?

[blackpoolhibs]

Kenneh is brilliant at winning the ball back, after he's just lost it.

[Stuart93]

If we start the league season like this then LJ is going to be under pressure very early on.

Seen enough of this quality last season.

[Libby Hibby]

1-1 bonnyrigg

[Ray Donovan]

This is a Morton goal away from collective meltdown from the fans.

[Paulie Walnuts]

This is really poor.

[green day]

This is garbage. I know they are parking the bus, but we have no genuine pace to test them.

Couple of nice touches here and there, but.......jeez

[offshorehibby]

[Heisenberg]

We’ve nothing going forward. Like watching a Maloney team all over again.

[Hibdan12]

What's with the ref blowing his whistle twice?

[Broken Gnome]

Kenneh's passing isn't the best. At least 4 stray tonight

If that's the case that's a bit of a continuation from the Clyde game. I thought a guy Leeds seemed reluctant to let go would have had a bit of passing quality about him - was fine with the short, sharp stuff but some pretty basic link-up was lacking.

[HendoDelivered]

Its gonna take a while for it to all come together I’m afraid folks. Definitely a few more quality/experienced additions needed though, evidently. Rather we play like this trying to find out feet etc against the smaller teams, rather than when the proper stuff kicks off in the league in a couple of weeks.

[MWHIBBIES]

We’ve nothing going forward. Like watching a Maloney team all over again.

Surely didn't expect everything to be totally fixed within 4 games?

It will take time.

[HibbyAndy]

This absolutely dreadful , This is a bottom 6 team i'm afraid

[Springbank]

We’ve nothing going forward. Like watching a Maloney team all over again.

A fast no9 changes the whole team

Doidge is not going to be the answer

[Vault Boy]

I mentioned a few days ago that I’m building concern about Kenneh and Miller’s technical capabilities. I hope I’m completely wrong, but this half hasn’t really inspired confidence.

Rocky should probably score from a good McGeady cross.

[Stevie Reid]

McGeady hasn’t hit a decent dead ball yet. Good cross after that free kick tbf

[H18 SFR]

Yup.

These cup games have shown that we’re still well short of being a top 4 team for me.

A couple of guaranteed starters with real quality required.

[berwickhibee]

As bad as under Maloney

Slow, blunt, lethargic,boring football 😡

[Lendo]

Little stepovers are all well and good but there’s just no end product.

I know we have to win tonight but why are we so reluctant to use the U18s when down to the bare bones and would rather put a square peg in a round hole than give someone like Macintyre their chance tonight at LB.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I mentioned a few days ago that I’m building concern about Kenneh and Miller’s technical capabilities. I hope I’m completely wrong, but this half hasn’t really inspired confidence.

Rocky should probably score from a good McGeady cross.

Kenneh has been miles short of the standard id hoped for so far. The talk of him being on the verge of the Leeds first team and being like Patrick Vieira are nowhere near it.

Still early days but if this is what we can expect of him then he’ll do nothing to improve us from last season.

[Chip shop Joe]

This really is brutal stuff.

[high bee]

We do lack a bit of bite in front of goal. Hopefully we come good in time.

[HH81]

A few changes needed at HT.

[The Spaceman]

As bad as under Maloney

Slow, blunt, lethargic,boring football 😡

Honestly don’t think we’ve played badly here? They’ve sat in deep all half and hardly touched the ball in our half. We are knocking it about well enough/pitch looks bigger than it did under Maloney. Patience. Miller the only negative for me so far.

[Vault Boy]

Morton certainly have a clear identity to their play. Overload behind the ball and kick anything that isn’t wearing a yellow kit.

[grunt]

A few changes needed at HT.
Who would you take off?

[Hibeesforever]

Cadden is never a left winger in a million years....

[Stevie Reid]

Yup.

These cup games have shown that we’re still well short of being a top 4 team for me.

A couple of guaranteed starters with real quality required.

I felt we were needing a minimum of four top quality (for our level) players to come into the side at the end of last season.

This team still feels short of four to me, but hopefully Tavares, Youan and Cabraja can be three of them.

Bojang potentially too, but the midfield still needs quality added, and we need a good CH as well.

Lots of work to do.

[Vault Boy]

Who would you take off?

I’d maybe hook a midfielder for Bojang.

[Pretty Boy]

Get Bojang on to run them.

Absolutely no one likes playing against that kind of pace. He's raw as anything but he'll stretch them and one breakdown in communication along their lines and he'll be in.

[Sir David Gray]

Ownership of our club is the problem. We have no one in key positions at the club who have a clue. I've been saying this for months.

They have scouted and bought sh*te apart from Marshall and it is clear even as early as now. From the money spent we have been beaten by Falkirk and are struggling to beat Morton. Yet Ron has used Atletico and Sevilla as models we should try and emulate. What a fantasist.

I give Ron, his son & Kensall until October then the knives will be out for all of them. Just hope they have not saddled us with a mountain of debt.

[itslegaltender]

McGeady isnt exactly setting the heather alight is he? Had a decent cross at end, but only on back of a horrific free kick attempt.

[Mikey_1875]

Will probably end up winning this game but we do not look ready for the league campaign. Some pretty concerning performances that could be shown up even more against better opponents.

[PeeJay]

Truly awful first half - lots of possession, aimless passing and nothing incisive up front - Johnson needs to work out what his team is supposed to be doing on the park.

[number9dream]

Jim Duffers and the other Sportsound pundit sound pretty stunned by how bad Hibs are...

[Unseen work]

For me this is the issue with having a very young team with not a huge amount of experience, they’ll be inconsistent and frustrating

Doidge for me needs to do so much more, he offers so little and I can’t see him being here come the end of the window.

I do feel for Johnson as he’s been without Tavares, Youan, Bojang and Cabraja who you imagine (hope) will make a huge difference.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Tavares come on at half time.

I think we miss a pressing midfielder without JDH or Campbell, I don’t think we’re shutting them off quickly enough for an LJ team.

Also McGeady is far more effective on the left imo, I’d love him there and Melkersen right.

This is the sort of game we need to get used to though, opposition with 9 men behind the ball. We’ll come up against teams better than them at it and who offer more going forward so we need to up it.

Missing that quality so far

Abysmal as usual, passing and shooting are atrocious, if we can't step up a gear in the second half we'll be in trouble,really disappointed in McGeady to name one

[Alfred E Newman]

Surely didn't expect everything to be totally fixed within 4 games?

It will take time.

I would still have expected to stroll through this group.

[Scouse Hibee]

I’m struggling to see what you like about Miller, looks miles off it.

Has been decent enough so far

[Del Boy]

Doidge has done nothing, though service is poor

[Sir David Gray]

It wasn’t that good. The highlight of the first half is Bonnyrigg drawing with Falkirk.:yawn::yawn::yawn:

:agree: Their scoreline might be our best chance of qualifying.

[wookie70]

Very careless with the ball and no urgency for the majority of the half. I'd get Bojang on for Doidge and Taveres for Miller. Stick McGeady on the left where Cadden was and Jair on the right. We need to get out of first gear as Morton are very comfortable

[BoomtownHibees]

Has been decent enough so far

In what way?

[Libby Hibby]

Reality check guys.

Ownership of our club is the problem. We have no one in key positions at the club who have a clue. I've been saying this for months.

They have scouted and bought sh*te apart from Marshall and it is clear even as early as now. From the money spent we have been beaten by Falkirk and are struggling to beat Morton. Yet Ron has used Atletico and Sevilla as models we should try and emulate. What a fantasist.

I give Ron, his son & Kensall until October then the knives will be out for all of them. Just hope they have not saddled us with a mountain of debt.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Would you like a wee cuddle?

[Jim44]

****ing brutal that.

What’s happening to this fast attacking style of football we were promised? Slow as stop, side to side to side then followed by an over hit pass or cross to no-one.

He canny be happy watching this

Maloneyesque and eyebleeding stuff.

[Hiber-nation]

Pretty clear Cadden can't play on the left although that was no surprise.

[Unseen work]

Kenneh looks totally out his depth so far. If we are relying on him this season I'm worried.

When it comes to winning the ball back and being in the right place I think he’s very effective.

When the ball is at his feet though…..he just doesn’t look comfortable.

[Tambo]

We have struggled to break down teams at home for a while now.

We can keep the ball well enough untill the final third but lack the quality in the final third.

Henderson has been bright again looking to try and create something but I agree with some posters it's a bit slow at times.

Hopefully we can come out second half and get a few goals.

I thought you said you were giving them till October but it’s already good riddance it seems?

[cameronw-hfc]

I actually don't think we're a million miles off. Think we just need a bit of pace in the team, and Youan, Bojang and Tavares all have hat in abundance.

[Northern Hibby]

Where’s this three minutes of added time come from!?

All the buffering 🤣

[overdrive]

I fell asleep for a chunk of the first half. I’m not convinced it was entirely down to having covid. Grim stuff. The new players aren’t great.

[Nicho87]

Long season ahead based on the current players on show

[H18 SFR]

Campbell coming on.

[Tambo]

Marshall's distribution is very good.

[cameronw-hfc]

McGeady isnt exactly setting the heather alight is he? Had a decent cross at end, but only on back of a horrific free kick attempt.

Wouldn't expect him to after 6 months out and 2/3 games.

[Scouse Hibee]

In what way?

Shaky start but has grown into the game.

[Unseen work]

………………….Marshall…………

Cadden….Rocky….Porto….Newell…

…….…….Kenneh…..Tait……..

Tavares……..Henderson….McGeady…

…………………..Melkersen……

Hope we come out second half with that line up.

Cadden isn’t suited to the left and it slows down as soon as it gets to him.

Get McGeady on the left where he’s at his best.

Get Tavares on and running st them

[JammyDoidger]

I like Lewis miller that’s a positive.other than that struggling for to see any improvement.

Lewis Miller has been ganting every time I've seen him for Hibs and I thought he was a stand out for Mariners. Shows the standard of the A League. Physical but clumsy, can't cross, can't beat a man, looks lost, as does Kenneh. Worrying signs already.

[BoomtownHibees]

Shaky start but has grown into the game.

He’s gave it away or lost it almost every time he’s had the ball

[seanshow]

Labourious, unimaginative, troll-like speed of thought, and the touches of elephants, that's just the midfield.

after a good pre season Doidge is treading water(cya), Newell gave the ball away 3 times in the first 2 minutes, and his partner #6 is dire.

Apart from that, really good.

[Callum_62]

Falkirk drawing about as exciting as it got first half

maloney got 18 games and a winter transfer window before being hounded out.

[Onceinawhile]

Pretty rubbish.

Need a left footed cb pronto. Would also be helpful to have a lefty at left back, but that's obviously down to circumstances.

Don't think their keeper has made a save yet?

You keep on saying the same stuff and it becomes boring. I will ask you the question.. who is waiting on the sidelines to buy Hibs and spend millions?
You are the fantasist.

Pretty much what I said before a ball was kicked. No confidence in this regime whatsoever. Recruitment dreadful and now plain for all to see tonight. Unless we get a couple of seasoned pros in the season will be a car crash. .

[CL0762]

Because of one volley?

[cameronw-hfc]

Boyle at the game today.. :wink:

Morton will tire , 3-0 hibs coming up

[ShadesLongThrow]

They’re playing a pretty effective press when we have the ball in their half. McGeady not getting a second to settle but getting no help at all from Miller.

[Logie]

Poor half against a team we should have known would play like that, struggling for ideas. Would bring on Bojang, Tavares and delferrier for Doidge, Kenneh and mcgeady, we need goals and that team out does not look like from that first 45 will serve us much second half imo

[LaMotta]

When it comes to winning the ball back and being in the right place I think he’s very effective.

When the ball is at his feet though…..he just doesn’t look comfortable.

He just looks so sluggish mate - and thats based on what I've seen v Bonnyrigg and Morton. Be amazed if he starts v St Johnstone. Filing him in the Nathan Wood mould til I see otherwise.

[thebausburst]

On the positive side we have got 6m in the bank even though the team is clearly rank

[tonyrougier123]

This might be poor but it is miles better than Maloney. There is at least attacking intent with this side.

No chance it’s miles better.
I’m all for optimism but this is just very one dimensional going through the motions football,almost identical to what we served up last season.

But it’s hardly surprising when you look at what we’ve done close season,and what’s on the pitch at the beginning of the game.

If we go in to the season playing like this be prepared for disappointment.

[Unseen work]

Everyone relax and remember this team is without 4 of our summer signings

Bojang
Tavares
Youan
Cabraja

[Ronniekirk]

Miller is having a bit of a stinker to be honest. He’s not alone mind you.

He hasn't shown up well in any of the games he has played inBig concern given the opposition we have played Was he brought in for development squad or is he expected to be in first team week in week out
Just do t see how he can improve against even better opposition at this rate

[OldEast]

To the very drunk, abusive guy in the east stand, I’ll just reiterate, I didn’t push In front of you in the pie queue.

Wouldn't be pushing at these prices 😡

[Scotty Leither]

On a night we need 1) a win and 2) goals to go with it we are offering absolutely nothing in midfield and attack.

Kenneh wins the ball and doesn’t have a pass on him to turn their defence and that’s 3 games now against crap opposition and the boy Miller at RB is no better than McGinn.

Doubtless there’ll be a PR statement shortly asking for patience/long time left in the window, etc, while clubs around us are signing established players.

Fed up with the BS about us being the next Seville or Atletico, can the talk and spend some wedge on some decent players, eh Gordon?

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Miller was very poor at Falkirk and not done anything to change my perception so far tonight, looks very slow and nervous on the ball.

Yes, absolutely dire. Very concerned regarding quality of signings and tactics. I wonder if Johnson still thinks we are in the Championship and is building a team to get out of it. I have a feeling our development squad is better.

[H18 SFR]

Maybe as fans we have a responsibility to understand that this will be a season of transition? The poor recruitment of last year still impacting the bigger picture?

[Hiber-nation]

He was bought for the first team, one of the reasons we let McGinn go

[Ringothedog]

Another myth. Hibs will be lucky if they have received even close to half that so far.

[OldEast]

Dave is talking some rubbish on the commentary.

Normal service for Dave 😀

[Feed McGraw]

I'm looking forward to the 2nd half as Hibs these days usually have one bad half and one good half - in any order. They sometimes have two bad halves as well but rarely two good ones. I even felt that was the case the season we finished 3rd.Two good halves on a regular basis would help a great deal.

[Unseen work]

He just looks so sluggish mate - and thats based on what I've seen v Bonnyrigg and Morton. Be amazed if he starts v St Johnstone. Filing him in the Nathan Wood mould til I see otherwise.

Hard to disagree.

There was one when he turned on the ball in our half and took it forward about 15 yards at a snails pace before switching to Cadden at chest height.

Might be harsh as it was a successful pass but it needs to be a lot quicker against this sort of team to move them about.

[WhileTheChief..]

Doesn’t feel much different to last season.

Not sure where we go from here though, we can’t go and sign another 5 or 6 players unfortunately.

[Jim44]

Morton will tire , 3-0 hibs coming up

I don’t know what will make Morton tire. They’re hardly being put under any pressure.

[H18S NX]

No shots on target,keepers never had a save yet.

[Onceinawhile]

He's not been good, but he's been nowhere near that bad!

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hibs TV radio commentator said the result out west between Bonnyrigg and Falkirk is some consolation


Bonnyrigg out west ? :confused:

[hhibs]

This is so last year..........................sh! te, Slow,Slow,Slow and then .....slower.

Dreadful.

[SHODAN]

Josh Campbell'll sort it.
