I’d certainly like to argue we shouldn’t just move on Henderson, Youan and Tavares.
🤣 Fair point.

head to head league games v Ros co
9-8 now, we must have faith and hope we can finally pull away from these giants of Scottish football
Year after year of failure against teams of this standard, and an almost tacit acceptance of it from not just the club, but a large portion of our support too.
The mindset of the club stinks.

Serious question - is Melkersen still on the pitch?
He was the least of our problems tonight. Your obsession with calling him out is plain weird

Unreal how bad we are at scoring goals and not conceding goals. Teams must love playing Hibs. Guaranteed great chances.

Looks very like we have ****** up yet another appointment or the team behind the scenes ie Ron and Son are having to much say on who we sign .We have tried to sign potential rather than proven players which in theory could have been great . It's not working im afraid Lee and his team will be gone soon .
Who's next

I shudder to think how much we are spending on this team. I don’t think replacing the manager solves it. This is a product of all the contracts handed out to underperforming players and an unintelligent recruitment process.
We are really lucky that we are on the cusp of the World Cup or one almighty slide down the league beckons.

I hope so. But he 'comes across well' ...🤣
Should never been appointed in the first place.😐
Whoever the manager is isn’t the problem, this isn’t better or worse than maloney or Ross, we have a recruitment department that totally underestimate the speed and physicality of Scottish football. The standard is higher than what they think.

Tavares
Youane
Schofield
Mitchell
Henderson
Newell
Doyle-Hayes
Campbell
Fish
Kenneh
All meh players, and all no where near good enough.
Long long season ahead
When we were winning 4 games in a row, most of these players were in and around the team.
What has changed, we were looking at 3rd place in the league.
Now its all doom and gloom???

Our defence has been hopeless for years.
Managers come and go but Hibs are still weak and easy to play against.
Long season ahead and yet another let down for the fans.
Owner needs to get a grip and install a head of recruitment that knows what they’re doing.

LJ has to go. The accounts of his previous manager behaviour are worryingly accurate and things can only get worse for us if he stays and gets more irrational. I also wouldn’t be surprised if we’re seeing the end of RG.

How many managers has hanlon and Stevenson got the sack? Great servants but time to move on.

There really is no way you can defend this result tonight. Not sure what shape we were playing and even if the players knew what was expected of them. Cadden every cross inline with the 18 and pumped into giants, what happened to his game of driving to the byline,
Normally there is something you can take from a game, but recently I am not sure what direction the club is going in when it comes to matches

I worry we have not fully looked at LJ and his records in management and we’ll just look at fans of his old clubs?
He has to front up here and tell us where we are at etc?? And Ben Kensell too.,,,

Just looked at the stats on the 2 Scottish games tonight, both winning teams had less than 36% of the possession.
So to my way of thinking, it's purely down to how well you defend that gets results!!!

I think we’d built up a bit of form and were obviously helped by the sendings off that we benefitted from in the first quarter. Once the run of form has gone then it has exposed what we really are. It reminds me of the Duffy start to the 98 season where we looked world beaters for a few games before it plummeted rapidly.
It’s the midfield that remains the big problem.

Super Joe Newell away for his weekly hide, but he had 2 good games in a row a few weeks ago 👍🏻
Lot of them are *****, the entire lot. Cadden must’ve had about 10-15 balls into the box, every single one of them worse than the last.
Henderson playing in the 10 yet is hugging the wingbacks and then doing absolutely jack **** with the ball when he gets it.

It isn’t that surprising when you’ve got totally gash players still starting in the form of:
Cadden
Newell
Melkersen
Then you bring on gash players in the form of:
Tavares
Campbell
Youan
At the same time as you have billy big balls at the back who’s regressing:
Porteous
Teams a complete shambles
Absolutely murder!!! :agree:
Seasons a bust
I've stuck up for the team the last few games as though we've lost a few we've been unfortunate at key times. However I can't defend what I've seen tonight. Aimless balls into the box with no end product and soft defence that concedes laughablely bad goals. Thank f%ck the world cup is around the corner or we could really start to plummet.

Midfield non-existent? Without Boyle the wide areas worry me, Youan started off promising but now seems to be in a bad spell.

The whole game was abysmal. We had absolutely no positive spells in the game.
Porteous had a horror show with the goal. Melkersen just looked out his depth. Cadden was abysmal, Mitchell the same until he went off injured. Henderson’s performance was potentially the worst I’ve seen in years.
Youan came on and looked poor as did Tavares.
We looked every bit a team playing 5 defenders and 1 holding midfielder, an absolutely baffling decision.

Henderson must of been very poor tonight then and without Joe Newell on his A game we have nothing in the middle capable of creating something though the middle on a regular basis.

Cadden must have put in over 20 crosses tonight and I doubt if any more than a couple were anywhere near a Hibs player. Pathetic stuff. Mind you most of the time we only had 1 or 2 players in the box which doesn’t help.

Fotmob shows our head-2-head with RC at 12(w)-5(d)-8(l) in our favour. They were a "bogey" team for a while as we struggled for a result away but ultimately it just shows us what we already know and it's that results against most of the club's outside the top 2 for most of my life have been poor and not good enough considering the difference in finances. No divine right sure, but we should be consistently better more often than not. Serial underachievers for years is why as a club we mentally fall apart far too easily at times. Going to a massive amount of money and a huge squad upheaval to get rid of that.

And how often do we see Joe Newells A game?
He spent most of the second half hiding in between the back 3. A total waste of a jersey.
Last season for me very little but this season he went through a good spell of looking to create something either himself or a pass.
Past few games I've seen he looked back to the average Joe but did come good vs St Mirren.
He can't be asked to do it all himself and Johnson knew the midfield was weak before he took the job and knew what had to be done.

Joe Newell is good when the teams playing well, but doesn’t appear to have the heart for the fight when needing to dig ourselves out of a hole.
First midfielder on the team sheet every week, and that in itself goes a long way in explaining our predicament.

Completely agree with this.
Sadly, I don’t think it’ll change any time soon.

Get rid of half the imposters and bring in Griffiths, he's free, available and scores goals.

You've simply not been watching if you believe that. Even last night he was trying, winning it back, moving us forward. Some fantastic deliveries that our strikers just watched.
It's a blatant lie that Newell hides. He does anything but hide.

Newell was absolutely terrible last night along with everyone else other than Rocky and Marshall imo.
The idea any part of anyone’s performance can be described as fantastic is miles off it imo.

He clearly put in 3 or 4 great deliveries. One literally bounced at the back post with our forwards watching.
He wasn't terrible. Likes of Melkersen and Henderson were terrible.

He was terrible imo. And incredibly there was even worse than him.

I didn't think Newell was that bad last night and there was nowhere for him to hide even if he wanted to. He was horribly exposed with every player around him seeming to have to have an absolute nightmare.

You won't give up will you? 😀
Well I for one agree with you. Contract to the end of the season and he'll get goals.

Was tonight the first night that things were so utterly pish that they didn't bother announcing a man of the match?
Chris Cadden came into Pioneers after the match for photos etc, so I assume he got it.
I can only assume that whoever chose it was more pissed than I was........

Caddens work rate can’t be questioned.
His ability can be. He’s garbage
He clearly isnt garbage. Decent wide player not convinced he is a full back though.
