Genuinely still not one player in this Hibs team I’d miss.
Recruitment for the most part has been a shambles and I include the recruitment of the manager in that.

Cadden is also mince btw. Absolute mince most of the time.
He’s very frustrating, I said a couple of months ago I think miller will end the season as first choice but injuries haven’t helped.
Cadden is good as a right back for me but as the main threat out wide I just don’t think he possesses enough quality to create for his teammates.
The amount of times he gets in good positions that results in nothing is mental

I’m assuming Mitchell went off due to injury? Anyone know what’s wrong?
I’m normally not that guy and I don’t know if it’s frustration but him and Magennis need to get fit pronto and stay fit or we’re going to have to look to offload them.
Both will be on a decent wage and have offered next to nothing in the time they’ve been here
Offload them? Who is going to take them injured?
Coach Jon

Actually feel sorry for the strikers tonight, everything back to goal. Would love to see Melkersen play off the shoulder more and we play quicker direct passes in behind
Melkerson has been poor, offers us nothing decision making is poor. Had an easy ball to Stevenson who was wide open in support, but turned inside and lost possession which led to Ross County going down the other end and eventually scoring.

It’ll be the same ****ing clowns signing the players as the last few windows.
We’ll get more of the same pish we keep getting.
Correct.
Every time the cheque book comes out we end with a bigger squad of dross. A tin pot village outfit like Ross County seem to recruit better with meagre resources. Finished above us last season every chance they will again.

8 of our starting 11 today played last season. Our only potential subs if any sort of attacking form are Campbell and Tavares.
Yet some think our recruitment has been good and we’ve backed the manager :faf:

that half was like watching one boxer stand and let the other hit them for most of the round while holding their hands by their side... and saying 'is that all you've got'... and firing one punch and sticking opponent on the canvas...
will he get up and show he does have more than that :dunno:

He's mucked about big time since he arrived. As much to blame as anyone if another manager fails.
Teflon Ron.
If Petrie was still overseeing this there would be protests outside the main stand and this place would be in meltdown.
The guy has the gift of the gab and I daresay he could sell ice to Eskimos but when it comes to running a football club him and his son haven't got a ****ing scooby.

Melkersen is a huge part of the problem, hasn't held the ball once.
Yep so poor at keeping the ball. Should have passed out wide lost the ball that eventually led to the goal. Absolutely horrible half. No threat nothing passing is way off slow and as usual lose a goal to not being able to defend a basic ball when playing with 3 centre has and a sitting mid.
Chorley Hibee
08-11-2022, 07:44 PM
Boyle should be playing, poor from the club
If he's fit, he should be playing.
No room for sentimentality, especially when the margins for success (Europe etc) could be so fine.

First 10 minutes i thought Melkerson look good, but after that he's reverted to the usual crap of being bullied off the ball, and when he does get it, giving it away.

Myko probably a sending off risk so I get it but to be honest I would have just gambled and kept him on
We are playing a back 3 with a DM sitting in front of them for some reason, Henderson who's meant to be playing behind the strikers sitting out on the wing beside Cadden and getting in each others way, Melkersen running around like a blue arsed fly but holding the ball up isn't his game and Newell just being Newell, very meh.

Not there tonight but didn’t like the look of our line-up. Once again 3 midfielders who are one-paced and don’t break the lines. No idea how we beat St Mirren so easily.
Hopefully Josh changes that but It could ending up draining away the confidence he has built up.
An out of contract McGeouch is an obvious addition but appreciate that isn’t exotic enough for our transfer committee.

Midfield and non existent quality out wide (Boyle is obviously quality but teams can just double up on him without fear of being punished elsewhere) are our biggest issues.

Time to get some of the development team back from loan in January, Delfierre, Brydon etc and give the likes of Aitken and any others from the U18s a try. I’m not convinced we’d be anymore inconsistent and might have a team/part of a team that could possibly grow into being a good one.
We’ve seen enough of this squad last season & this to see it’s not going anywhere. It’s great on paper and in all manner of stats but the reality is it’s average and little scope to improve.

I don't think the situation is as drastic as some here would make you believe. We've been crap, but usually when we've lost this season it's been down to not finishing chances. Tonight is the first time I've seen us this bad under LJ.
I think hell get it right, I don't agree with taking big Myk off, but the rest of his subs were fine imo. Think we need to get into the break and let the injured players come back fully, give LJ the next window or two then see where we're at

I don't think it has. You have to be careful what you wish for such as those that blamed Mathie for us missing out on McGrath and were delighted he was fired. The Craig / Mathie strategy seemed to be a get better slowly strategy. Since that point we have turbo charged the recruitment and have signed a huge number of players who, with 1 or 2 exceptions, have not improved the team. The coming window needs to be far more considered and those we add should be in key positions with an above average chance of improving the team. Now is not the time for blame but reflection on what has and hasn't worked so we improve the chances that recruitment in the future will be better.

Again it started with Hanlon not clearing when he had the chance, then got pressed and gave away a needless throw in. There was a thread recently praising our defence before we had completed the first round of fixtures, doesn't look so clever now.
