By protesting today your just giving hearts fans an even bigger laugh.

[delbert]

What about in the months and months of coaching, player acquisition, man management, and tactical planning that has led us to being 6th place (3pts off 8th), and papped out of both cups before they’d really gotten started?

That’s what’s led to today, so I think we’ve every right to judge him on this match.

Said since Johnson arrived, he was the cheap available option, that was his biggest asset, certainly not his record as a coach, done nothing and taking us nowhere. In a sane world, any club with any real ambition wouldn’t even think of employing dross like Johnson, no feel for or. connection to the club and it shows and zero connection or rapport with its support, just another in a long line of disastrous recruitments either on or off the park, journeyman charlatan but of course I await bring shouted down by the blind faith brigade !

Could be 80 and we’d not score

[cameronw-hfc]

Plays on the right and cuts inside to his weaker foot instead of going to the byline, Hearts have the box packed, cutting in and shooting won't work, too many bodies.

We all seen that the 3/4th time he tried it. Yet he keeps persisting. Talented boy but does my head in with his lack of ability to make the right choice.

[DinkyTwo]

Protesting is a bit melodramatic.

We've not been terrible, certainly better than derby performances under Fenlon, Maloney and Calderwood.

We're missing the quality needed to capitalise when on top. So long as we're looking to rectify that then I don't mind seeing where things go in the summer

Like everyone else, I'm not happy about it, but it is where we are

If the protest is outside the West we may see the nice paint job hospitality has had though.

Disagree, today hasn’t been a reflection on previous performances. I am not a fan, but I replied to someone saying asking about anyone defending him after this today.

Well, I’m stunned if anyone out there is still defending him anyway - but it’s not unreasonable to suggest that being knocked out of the last remaining competition we had any ‘chance’ with this season, by our rivals, at home, would be the final nail in the coffin for any stragglers

Johnson will get the sack but it’s not all his fault.

[The Pointer]

Not blaming Johnson. That team could have won earlier as we had most of the pressure, but we have some duff players who aren't of the required quality. That means it's Gordon's son, the quiet man no-one ever hears about who, to me, is at fault. I don't think he has a clue.

You just don't get it do you? How many managers have we had in the past 10 years? The direction of the club was all wrong before LD was appointed, the direction shifted and was given to the Gordon's, now we are going backwards, not forwards. It stops at the Gordon's door, we could hire a dream team of sir Alex ferguson out of retirement and pep, but it is never going to work. The recruitment is embarrassing, the fact his son is head of recruitment is comical, he's just a less extreme Vlad. "But he paid off our debt" the debt was included in the sale of hibernian, Gordon's GTF

I thought we put in loads of effort but lacked quality all over the park.

The recruitment will have played a massive role in that and hopefully with the DOF joining that area can be ripped apart and those responsible hopefully moved out of the club.

The immediate course of action required though is to remove the manager. We already set the bar when we sacked Maloney after his defeats against them.

I've never seen a team make so many desperately poor decisions during a game and therefore we deserve all we get.

From not playing the right pass, or making the right run or prancing about with the ball, and getting what looks to be a serious injury, on the back of it, we are the worst I've ever seen.

How did we lose that? Never seen such a one sided 0-3

We had 21 shots on goal, only 6 of them on target with only 2 of those shots on target (the one's that hit the post) really causing them any kind of alarm.

Hearts also only had 6 shots on target, but 3 of them (the goals) were shots taken from ideal areas within our own box with no marking or defenders in the way to block them.

Hearts through bodies in the way whenever we got into those areas in their box, ultimately limiting us to poor chances.

The stats don't really mean anything at the end of the day as a result.

[One Day Soon]

We never had a hope once an English team showed interest.

We never had a hope in the first place, they didn't want a guy who knew his own mind and would call it like it is.

[Rick Rude]

Can't much fault the effort of the players. Given how much we dominated don't think the tactics were wrong. Only leaves one thing which is quality. Too many players trying their best today but don't have the ability and shouldn't be playing for Hibs.

[Iain G]

His interview has me ****ing raging.

Absolute imposter.

What did he say that got you raging?

[jakedance]

Just looking at this game I thought we played well with some good individual performances and a makeshift midfield. Doesn’t disguise the fact we’re a total mess that needs changes thorought the club.

What p*** did he come out with?

I’d guess he’ll lead with being unlucky because we hit the woodwork a couple of times.

How the **** can we have a makeshift midfield after signing so many players in the last few windows?

[One Day Soon]

Essentially, 'yes we're out of the cup and that hurts but we needed to focus now on getting to third or fourth place in the league'.

Completely detached from reality.

Box entries replaced football IQ in the drivel bingo today. I honestly don’t care if he stays or goes.

Campbell is the best example of this. Not only one but best show of gross mismanagement. He looks like a decent hardworking Championship midfielder but got a lengthy contract under Jack Ross for doing very little. Now a mainstay.

Cadden and Newell both given extensions and neither been exceptional.

Have 3 centre mids out injured wouldn't have helped

We had 21 shots on goal, only 6 of them on target with only 2 of those shots on target (the one's that hit the post) really causing them any kind of alarm.

Hearts also only had 6 shots on target, but 3 of them (the goals) were shots taken from ideal areas within our own box with no marking or defenders in the way to block them.

Hearts through bodies in the way whenever we got into those areas in their box, ultimately limiting us to poor chances.

The stats don't really mean anything at the end of the day as a result.

If I'm not mistaken, hitting the woodwork does NOT count as a shot on target.

No. He's average but people make him out to be Zidane.

How did we lose that? Never seen such a one sided 0-3
Yes agree totally it was such a one sided game , thought we played well and were miles better than hertz apart from the scoreline of course , they were just clinical with the two chances they got for there goals , third was just a sucker punch as we had so many men forward and rocky injured . Real sore one to take today but there was plenty of positives to take from it also .

Nope but he's still our best midfielder. New guy might have something to say about that mind... Beat 3-0 with him. Beat 3-0 without.

[HarpOnHibee]

In that case, we had 6 shots on target that didn't really trouble them, along with 15 shots off target. It's a sign of a team that's not only lacking where strikers are concerned, but also a lacklustre attacking midfield that isn't setting up good enough chances for those strikers. Our attacks often looked very laboured, as if we were trying to score goals the difficult way, rather than simplifying things like Hearts did.

[TheCabbage]

I thought we were very slack with a lot of wrong decision making
Porteous should have meted the ball into the stand instead of fannying about
Why can we defend balls into the box?
Campbell should have just halved sibbick and started heading for the tunnel.
And David marshall - past it now as well. Penalty saves apart against Celtic everything seems to fly right by him

[Onion]

The final result is what many of us expected sadly.

Exactly. The only surprise is that Hibs appear to have made a decent fist of it. Every indicator had Hearts winning this easy and that’s how it turned out. Not sure why there is such rage about LJ.

[MWHIBBIES]

No. He's average but people make him out to be Zidane.

No one does that. He's clearly a far superior central midfielder to Lewis, and I say that as the chairman of Stevenson's fan club.

How many defeats are we in the last 14 or so now? I think it's just 4 wins in 16 games. This was a Scottish Cup game, so no win and you're out.

We can have all the possession we like and we can look for all the positives we like but there's literally nothing I can see on the park that looks like we are slowly but surely improving to a plan. Instead we look like a roll of the dice. Every. Single. Game.

You make a good point. I was meaning Newell and McGinnis being out, who would probably start.

[MinceAndTatties]

They are miles ahead for me personally. They played ***** the day and still beat us 3nil. So much more quality and depth within their squad, just look at the differences in the bench.

And when you talk about the midfield I wonder who decided Dylan McGeoch wasn’t now good enough for it?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Wouldn't fault the effort today, but the lack of quality is clear for all to see. Hearts were poor today, but won by a bigger score than most Hibs fans at the game will ever have seen Hibs win a derby by, and for second time in a fortnight. Lack of quality, and no squad, the 'options' from the bench embarrassing. Club is a real mess at the moment, with no turning point in sight. Things are likely to get a lot worse before they get better. Never felt so disillusioned with the club to be honest.

I suppose we all see it from a different point of view , mine is we totally dominated that game today and played well . Youan's being heavily criticised and yet I thought he had a fine game and was skinning Cochrane most of the game , along with Mcgeady and rocky who I thought were excellent . Free kick for there first goal was soft enough imo and landed just right for them , Devlin fouled Youan also leading to a goal as well fine margins I know but important decision that went against us as well as being unlucky too. We had more possession as you say and we had more shots too . I just felt we were the better team today who didn't get the rub of the green against a team that was poor but got the breaks at the right time .

[Trinity Hibee]

Hibernian manager Lee Johnson: "Obviously we're disappointed and the boys have worked their socks off, but we've conceded three and not scored. We had good efforts on goal but they've been more clinical and defensively more stout. Both boxes were the key today.

Admire your optimism mate but Youan is a joke of a player

He should have had us in front early on but for the 2nd derby in a month he failed to even get a shot away. Gets in front of the last defender and he’s heading towards goal, the worst he should achieve is a penalty.

He’s totally clueless

[Sir David Gray]

So once again we win the plaudits for nearly scoring in the first half but actually doing nothing in front of goal and Hearts go up the park and score with half the number of shots on goal that they had.

Similar story 3 weeks ago, 2-0 down at half time after a crap start but then getting plaudits for playing quite well in the second half when the game was done and dusted.

The reality is that Hearts know how to win games of football, they know how to win derbies and that ability is sorely lacking with us.

[Tyler Durden]

A fair summary. A lack of quality throughout

Those that do have the quality are either past it (McGeady and Marshall) or have questionable motivation/attitude (Nisbet).

Doubt there are too many of the squad who will be that gutted tonight.

[Mutu]

Thought Youan gave one of his better performances but he would be a nightmare to play with. Never released when he should.

Everything has already been said about the performance but one thing which pissed me off was post-mtach.

You've just lost two derbies in two week - LJ should be showing leadership and getting the boys to applaud the fans. Instead he was nowhere. Credit to Campbell who took the initiative resulting in a few others to follow suit.

Not good enough. I don't think LJs heart is not in this and for that reason I think he's got to go

Very low football IQ, to quote a particular manager.

I read that....the one that needs to start with home truths is the manager. Our results are really not improving and the buck stops with him.

Predicted the score line but I think we played with good intensity which surprised me.

Hate losing to them but they're the better team (not by a whole lot) overall just now.

They’re hurting ? What about the ****ing fans. We can’t influence what happens on the pitch. That bunch of imposters can and we’ve been hammered again by our biggest rivals.

We are an absolute ****show of a football club and the sooner Ron Gordon, Ben Kensell and Lee Johnson are gone the better. And as for the “players”, an absolute embarassment. Hearts celebrating on your own pitch like they did while they sulk in the dressing room. Absolute ****ing shambles
