Right, I'll try and lift the mood.

That was an excellent first half. Lots to like about it.

Nisbet did well, and the game tonight will have done him, Magennis and (to a lesser extent) McGeady the world of good.

Going to Ibrox is one of our toughest games. If we can make a decent game of it there then we should be better able to pick up results in either our home games or at Tynecastle in the "tricky 4 game period" we were coming back into following the world cup.

Johnson has had another game from which to learn - what tactically works and what doesn't, which players are up to scratch and which ones aren't, if he was in any doubt.

The January transfer window opening is one game closer.

I'd add Campbell to the good performers in the first half. Maggenis playing on the right was madness to me when we had Porteous in the centre. No ideas what the thoughts were playing Ryan in there. He looked completely lost to me, just as he was against the Middlesborough bairns

FFS we’re in December and LJ is still trying to learn what works? That’s the problem. Still had no idea what his best set up is or his best 11.

We never made a decent game of it tonight. We had a good 45mins.

5 weeks to work together and we revert back to the norm in the 2nd half

[CL0762]

Nisbet and Campbell won almost every ball in the air in the first half.

Nisbet especially looked on it from the first minute then understandably tired in the second.

[The Modfather]

One game closer to the end of the season.

[Scotty Leither]

It’s a piss poor Rangers team, that any team with a decent defence and game plan where every player knows their role would have seen off.

If the manager rates that performance as “excellent” then he’s either taking the piss, or he needs his bumps felt.

He’s doing a talking job to save his skin but results talk louder. Dead man walking. If we’re going to get relegated, I would rather it was with someone else.

Lose to Livingston and he’s done, and think they’ll give the job to Kean to the end of the season.

We’ve got to win at least one of these Derby fixtures, but instead I think the main focus of the club will be what sparklers and cabaret singers we’ll have for the Livingston game, as that appears to be their main focus, the “ game day experience”.

If the manager goes, his laddie has to go as well, and the new manager given funds to bring players in that HE wants, and not someone Ian Gordon’s spotted on YouTube.

[Real Emerald]

There definitely was positives and to be honest Hibs were the most dangerous team in the first half. Ibrox isn’t easy for any team and we scored 2 great goals. The second half was poor and our lack of quality from recent signings is quite horrendous. How many pish signings have we made recently??!

I guess my point about Johnson here is that that was only the second time he's taken a team to Glasgow. The first one he was hopelessly naive and we were slaughtered.

Tonight we were in a decent place at half time.

I'm making no excuses for the second half performance, but he's probably got less to figure out now than before when it comes to going to Glasgow and getting a win.

And in terms of learning - he's tried Porto in midfield, he's had a pretty grim performance from Hanlon, he's seen our fullbacks toil badly under pressure, he's seen Nisbet and Campbell both play well, he's had a very mixed bag from Youan with more negative than positive I'd say...

Which should all probably go towards him being more able to pick a team that will get results in the big games that are about to come thick and fast, no? And the next game is always more important that the last one, which you can do nothing about.

Am shocked you missed the positive nature of this thread...

[B.H.F.C]

Nisbet was the real positive. He looks fit and strong. None of this needing to be patient with him from what I’ve seen (I thought even in the Middlesbrough game he looked ready to go fitness wise). He was sharp for his goal.

I thought Campbell did well for an hour but after running about like a mad man, he was finished at that point.

Nice to see Mcgeady play a competitive game - he might bring some much needed cutting edge to the final third

[LunasBoots]

First half was excellent, that's what is needed more of, Nisbet and MaGennis made a world of difference, hopefully done there fitness levels a boost as we could really do with them for 90 min games playing at that level.

I was pissed off at my team losing a game in a capitulation in the 2nd half, and I don't care if it was against The Ranjurs, they're not very good...

I'm also really, really concerned about the general direction of Hibernian FC under this unaccountable owner, whom I think will bail if we're relegated.

Not much to be positive about sorry, but I'll leave you all to it for the night.

[Carheenlea]

To have had a golden chance to have went 3-1 up with Yohan’s chance was definitely a positive. Would it have knocked the stuffing out of Rangers? Their play may have become more desperate and easier to defend but we’ll never know. I honestly feel if we went 3-1 up we would have added at least another.

Nisbet returning and looking sharp augurs well and a fit McGeady is one I’ll look forward to watching as he must have plenty to offer. I’d like to see him start against Livingston and give us something a bit different.

[Unseen work]

Scored 2 goals at Ibrox

Youan should have scored

Campbell very unlucky with his effort.

Should have had a pen.

Players back from injury looked good and will 100% improve us.

[theonlywayisup]

Positives:

It's no surprise to me that those players who stood out were generally the Scottish players in the team. Funny that!
First half was generally very encouraging, second half against a poor The Rangers team less so.

Negatives:

Lots of other threads for those :wink:

[Tully]

The bigger problem was that we started the 2nd half on the back foot and never got the same tempo we had in the first half,subs were made to late and we gave the huns the incentive with sitting almost on the edge of the box,with our inability to defend cross balls the inevitable happened

[scottish_sleepy]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who completely fails to see what Youan brings to the team. I've been hoping for the last couple of months that he'd "adjust" to the Scottish game, but not a thing. Positives are he's very fast and runs up to people to close them down. The problem is when he gets to them I've still to see him try to put in a challenge. When he receives the ball it's usually lost again within a few seconds. He just doesn't seem to have any fight or aggression in him. How he stayed on last night was totally beyond me.

[SHODAN]

Massive improvement from pre-winter break, but if we don't win on the 24th then it doesn't matter.

[Brightside]

One game closer to the end of the season.

this.

[Cat Stanton]

Nisbet's expression after scoring, looking at the The Rangers "supporters" behind the goal. That was a big positive.

I also think a lot seen to forget that was Beales first game at Rangers as manager and in a packed Ibrox.

They were losing 2-1 at half time, of course there was going to be a massive shift in the second half.

So much harder than people are making out to just not be deep and keep creating chances etc.

Despite the pressure they were putting us under, I don’t think they created a huge amount up until the second goal.

The third, as bad as it was defensively from Hanlon was also brilliant from Tillman.

If we play like that against Livi we win.

If we only play for a half against Livi we lose.The second half was as depressing as the first half was encouraging. We need to play for 90 minutes, LJ needs
to make changes when it's clear the rails have come off.

In the same sense you can say rangers only played for a half but won?

If we take the chances (Youan and Campbell) then it’s a different story.

Out of curiosity, what changes would you have made?

[Irish_Steve]

A positive is that for 45 mins, we out-gunned a team with at least ten times our budget. That means that they have better players who are less likely to make mistakes.

I’ve been living in Scotland for 35 years and during that time only two teams have won the top league. That shows how big the gulf between the Toxic Twins and everyone else is.

That sounds like a downer ending so another positive - Hearts are *****

[basehibby]

There were plenty positives to take from last night - Nisbet returns from injury and scores! McGeady gets a run out. Magennis plays another game without getting injured!!!
Hibs came out of the traps strongly and twice took the lead when, let's face it, most of us would not have been surprised to see us on the wrong end of a tanking similar to our last visit to Glasgow.
Of course we lost the game and that adds up to another miserable statistic amidst our recent run of defeats. I certainly take some comfort from the positives though and am hopeful they could contribute to a vital win when Livi come calling.

Fully fit , they would all walk into any non OF Scottish team and probably better . Of course there are question marks about their fitness but if fit they are all good enough to make an impact against any teams in our league and not just next week against Livi .

[ancient hibee]

I notice that quite a few posters who predicted we would get massacred are now moaning because we didn't win-no pleasing some folk.

[coldingham hibs]

Positives were Nisbet & Magennis doing okay. But I personally thought we were awful for at least 60 minutes of the game and even during our decent 30 minute spell we looked extremely vulnerable. Let’s be realistic about this, Rangers were brutal defensively and that is the reason we scored 2 goals. If we play anywhere near that standard against Livingston we will be on the end of another defeat. Our defence was hopeless and midfield totally missing. Just because we scored 2 goals doesn’t mean we were anywhere near good. This Hibs team is a shambles, a collection of average and finished players with about 3 above average players. Much like the women’s team there is a massive decline and I cannot see any light at the end of this tunnel. I hope to god we get something sorted during the transfer window.

[Hibrandenburg]

Youan should have scored

Campbell very unlucky with his effort.

If he'd sunk that chance then I'd have been £180 better off. £10 on a Hibs win or draw, both teams to score and Youan to score at any time.

Positives for me is we at least tried to take the game to them and I felt we actually looked dangerous on the attack, that's been missing up until now. Yes we lost, but if we continue to play like that then we'll win much more than we lose.

[paddy1875]

We were as good as we can be first half and rangers were as bad as they’ll get all season.

The second half was absolutely woeful. Even after the huns got a goal ahead the manager never changed it until 70 odd minutes. We needed a change sooner at least to make them think we were changing something up.

The only positives is we took the lead twice in the game against them to shut them up and it’s one game closer to this manager getting punted.

Those three getting fitter and staying fit is going to be very important.
Johnson could try a midfield diamond (has he done that yet?) with Kenneh holding, Magennis and Campbell doing the running and McGeady providing the passes. Nisbet and Myko could be a useful partnership if the big chap is back soon. Maybe give McKirdy a start against Livi?
Porteous has to play centre-half until he leaves in January or at the end of the season.
Marshall is a very good goalkeeper.

Interesting point re "the diamond", I'd sort of forgotten about playing that way.

Worked really well for Stubbs at times, didn't at others. Pretty sure that's what Eddie May went for when he took the reins from Heckingbottom and we immediately looked better, Jack Ross stuck with it for a short while after that and results were good. I actually think that the "left of the diamond" is the position that Joe Newell has looked most comfortable in.

We've got the fullbacks for it. We've got a decent number 6. We possibly lack the number 10, but as you say, in theory McGeady could and should work there. We've got strikers who play best in pair.

Yep, I like it. But no, I don't really recall Johnson ever having tried it.

The 2nd line in your post " they were losing 2-1 at halftime " with a bit better luck on youan's shot and the penalty we should have definitely had we could have possible been going in at halftime 4-1 up. Different game then!

That was an excellent first half. Lots to like about it.

Nisbet did well, and the game tonight will have done him, Magennis and (to a lesser extent) McGeady the world of good.

Going to Ibrox is one of our toughest games. If we can make a decent game of it there then we should be better able to pick up results in either our home games or at Tynecastle in the "tricky 4 game period" we were coming back into following the world cup.

Johnson has had another game from which to learn - what tactically works and what doesn't, which players are up to scratch and which ones aren't, if he was in any doubt.

The January transfer window opening is one game closer.


Anything else?

Nisbet was the best player on the park first half. So much so I had one of the dark side(rangers) asking me when his contract was up.

We need to extend it now if we don’t want him walking for nothing.

I thought he was fantastic that first half. Everything we have been missing.

There is plenty not to like about this current team but folk going mental about losing at ibrox are off their heids. Since March 2020 they have lost 1 game at home in the league and that was to celtic. The first half was excellent and gives us some hope.

Yes, if we play like we did on Thursday, then we'll score more goals than we lose against most teams in Scotland.

There is plenty not to like about this current team but folk going mental about losing at ibrox are off their heids. Since March 2020 they have lost 1 game at home in the league and that was to celtic. The first half was excellent and gives us some hope.

100%

New manager bounce in his first game and at home.

We created a good amount of chances, Youan and Campbell both unlucky with chances and then Youan flashed one across goal thst Nisbet was inches from tapping in. Also an argument for a pen that whilst I wouldn’t like to see one given for that, certain teams will get.

As a whole we actually defended relatively well and restricted them to little chances.

Campbell, Magennis and Nisbet all playing close together for knock downs etc looked good and the sort of play we’ll need against Livi.

Is "playing like that" not what we all wanted after the performances under Ross and Maloney? We came out of the traps and had a go. Yes we were open, but that's far better than backs to the wall defensive garbage. Playing like that will concede goals, we need to make sure we score when we have the chances.

What you say about Livi is true. All teams know that now. As soon as you score at ER, the fans are on the players backs. In fact, if you hold out for about 20 mins without conceding the fans start to turn!

With more choice in the squad ( being fit ) we might be able to accumulate more points.

The 'Rangers report' account on twitter's projected league table based on points per game from expected goal difference, still has us finishing 4th ahead of the jambos.

It predicts that we've been one of the most underperforming teams in the league, and them one of the most overperforming, when comparing points won so far to underlying performances.

Obviously no guarantees but his model has been highly accurate in previous seasons at predicting changes in teams form.

That said, if we keep throwing in performances like the Killie and Ross county games then we will be struggling.

That's interesting to hear - because whilst I cannot defend the crap that was the last few performances before the world cup, it really doesn't feel like that long ago that I was quite happy.

It's been a steep decline since the St Mirren game then against Rangers we looked good during the first half.

I guess it's the tricky run of fixtures and the injuries that have most of us as pessimistic as we are, that and a lack of faith in our recruitment team.

But the football really hasn't been all bad, some of it has been quite good albeit it feels like a long time ago that we last watched regular good football.

They're not off their heids my friend.

What once was a forum for Hibs supporters is now infested with drama queens falling over themselves to abuse our players, manager and boardroom personnel.

Beaten by Rangers at Ibrox used to be expected, now its just one more excuse for a greeting match by a bunch of jessies.

Thank x most of them don't go to games and spoil the atmosphere there.

The caveat to that would be Hearts will do a lot better from now on without the European games and associated injuries.
I reckon we will finish 5th.
Livingston away to Celtic tomorrow night. Interesting to see what side they put out given our game against them on Saturday.
