Hibernian v Heart of Midlothian 12:30pm KO

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Get in there Hibs!!

A big result and much needed pressure off the players and Johnson.

Off the ball every single player was outstanding and kept it tight with a good shape and apart from the weak header in the first half Marshall didn't have much to do.

Nisbet and Joe Newell outstanding for me today and Youan works so hard and deserves a mention.

If that’s how they perform under pressure then keep it on them

A ***** day to be on a nightshift!

[Mick O'Rourke]

They got let off the hook and they know it
Good for the team going forward after putting that entitled lot to the sword
Lets push on for 4th
GGTTH

[blackpoolhibs]

BTW, was 110% sure Kingsley was pumping that free kick in

Then when he missed was 100% sure McKay was pumping the rebound in

Life of a Hibs fan eh

Great Job Steven Naismith..we need more Hearts managers with 100% loss rate to hibs !!!!!!

[Carheenlea]

Which one of the two bald heided polyester tracksuits on the Hearts touchline was Naismith? Hope there’s not two of them!

[JamesHFC]

Should have been 4. ****ing get in Hibernian. 💚

[Just Alf]

It's funny how things transpire
The defence was being heavily ridiculed before the game and for the most part looked fairly comfortable

The 3 'def mids' were being questioned but they gave us a base in which we pretty much controlled the game from and you could argue MotM could come from Newell or JDH

It could have finished a 2 or 3 goal win fairly easily

Sent from my VOG-L29 using TapatalkAgree with that, I was quite disappointed when I saw the team sheet... glad I'm no the manager lol.

Separately....
Got to say, Newall, Hanlon and Stevenson were all worth their starts.

[Torto7]

Well deserved win. Newell and JDH along with Fish and Hanlon were superb but Nisbet just has that wee bit of quality that you need up front. Well done lads and LJ.

[hfcok]

Aye the old timers did it for us the day Hanlon/Stevenson were quality 👏👏

[Aldo]

Get it right roond ye Ratboy

[Scotty Leither]

Get that wrapped right roond ye, Naismith.

Just shows what a bit of graft and application does for you. Just wish Nisbet had passed on the other two chances he had, it would’ve been even more resounding against they bobbled cardigan wearing Sunday Post reading entitled *******s.

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Most fight and determination in a Derby I've seen in a long time, well done to the team

[cabbageandribs1875]

it's never a pleasant thing to say but i hope Sevco win today

[J-C]

Decent lottery win today

Tbf they played better than expected, good commitment for the full 90 mins makes such a difference, should've won by more though. That line up didn't give me confidence, I wasn't the only prior to kick off.

[Callum_62]

Can't argue with the fight

Players still clearly onside with the manager it seems

Good to see Hibs players winning the battle, before deservedly winning the game. Nisbet was class act all day and gave their back line a hard time.

Surprised at how bad (and how small) that Hearts team is. For all their money, they lacked leaders on the pitch and looked like a bunch of moaning minis. When Hearts have cash they usually recriuit big lumpy hammer throwers, so not sure what Neilson's been doing.

Finally, for all their industry and workrate, our midfield lacks quality. JDH, Newall and Jeggo worked hard but we need much better next season if we're going to move from a mid-table side.

I don’t know…try it and come back on here and tell us what happens?

I must be tripping then. Every time I watch Newell hes amongst the best Hibs players on the pitch.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Pretty much the rule right there.

[B.H.F.C]

Every player immense. Lacking in quality but guts, hard work and will to win was unbelievable.

[Onceinawhile]

Minging team.

Stupid auto correct. That was meant to say magnificent.

[Tambo]

No harm in a little look across the road and one fan says the season is not over to which he gets told the season is over.

One wants Robinson in as manager to which is a no from the rest.

One had pointed out that Livingston can still manage top 6 if we lose at St Johnsone.

And one says maybe the problem wasn't Robbie

😃

[He's here!]

Phenomenal result. So utterly unexpected and hats off to the manager and players for confounding my expectations.

Frustrating to have dropped so many points in games that were on paper a great deal less challenging than a derby.

This was my favourite:


"I couldn't give a stuff about the other stuff. Even the new stand, no seats, seats that couldn't see the goals, a random empty space (hence the hotel idea), the views of the castle etc, the cost, the architect. It was a debacle start to finish. Dead pitch from an orchestra. It's just shambolic management endlessly in search of vanity projects. I joked yesterday about whether they'd remembered to order the beds for the hotel...it genuinely wouldn't surprise me."

[Silky]

Team picked not to loose rather than win.

And it worked! Just curious as to who should have played to make it a winning team?

[emoji2]

It was clear as day the problem wasn’t captain caveman, if he’s in charge of hearts today they play a hell of a lot better than that and probably win. There’s an attitude problem in some of their squad is how I see it

Hanlon and Stevenson were excellent today. Never put a foot wrong. They've still got it.

Newell was immense, and I wish he would play like that every week.

Nisbet also was bang at it, first touch, movement, and of course the finish.

Better team by far today, need to go and do it again next week. I suspect better Hibs teams would have scored another couple.

[SHODAN]

Did Naismith genuinely say pre-match that a loss was fine if the performance was good?

He won't last long over there.

[jacomo]

Well well… very good battling performance, was in the FF so wasn’t exactly sure about the chances we missed in the first half but unlucky not to get another in the second.

My motm was Youan… didn’t score but a massive threat all game, some great play. Back 4 were all very good too.

Well done Hibs.

Cadden was going mental at full time with the FF. Not a great season for Chrissy overal IMO but it’s good to show that he cares. These things matter.

Yip . Seen that. He was the same going past the west.

Newell going mental in that link is great to see.

Today was a good day :-)

[jacomo]

That’s the worst Hearts team to visit us in a while. When will we ever give them a long overdue thumping. Whenever we deservedly win it’s only ever by a goal or two. Yet they seem to score heavy when the roles are reversed.


More composure up front and we’d have won by 3 or 4 today.

Definitely not complaining… but their free kick at the end was a concern.

Just picking this up since just after the starting 11 was named. Quite a few embarrassing comments and folk with egg on their faces. Some poor stuff. Not just saying this with the benefit of hindsight either.

Not against Hearts he isn’t, he’s varied between abysmal and anonymous in every game he’s played against them.

He certainly wasn’t today.

A tense moment that for sure! Agree as well with the composure that final ball or a little bit more cool a head when trying to finish and that could have been what we were all after.

Really good performance from JDH and Newell today I’ve let off a fair amount over the past couple of seasons and thought both played very well today maybe even JDH best performance in a hibs shirt, can’t mind many better off the top of my head anyway, also thought Hanlon was good as well could really tell he was up for it today

[tamig]

Just seen it. Great call. A few other good shouts from others as well about formation and stuff but some of the doom and gloom comments are shameful.

[greenlex]

30% of that was passing it square along the back. They did it all the time with our tactic was to let them have it back there and not much pressing.

How about you just enjoy the victory rather than try and create division with other Hibs fans. You'll feel better for it.

[Glory Lurker]

What a damn fine day this has turned out to be.

Did think of Ron at SoL. He'd have loved that.

Thank you, Hibs. Every now and again you remind me why I put up with you xx

Can’t keep everyone happy unfortunately. Our first Derby win in 4 years, a phenomenal day all round, just a shame Livi didn’t drop points but we will beat those Saints next week.

At the game from my angle I actually thought the boy did one on Josh if I’m being honest.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Saw the line up and feared the worst tbh but we made hearts look brutal. That's their worst team or performance against us in a long time. I think they'd have done better sticking wi Robbie replay but no complaints here

To a man we were fantastic. Marshall a spectator. Flew under the radar a bit because of Newell and Nisbet but I thought Stevenson (and Hanlon to) was absolutely amazing. Crunching tackles and supporting youan all day.

Well done hibees

also the free kick to them near the end. I thought they couldn’t have anyone within a metre of the wall? :confused:

Any idea what Nisbet meant by “you can put two and two together” about why he celebrated the way he did?

[GreenGray]

Just thinking about how pleased I am that we out fought them today. We wanted it so much more.

There’s often chat about how derbies seem to matter more to hearts than they do to us, and looking back at history you could say that is probably true.

But we just weren’t going to lose that game today, reactions after the game tells you everything.

Hopefully we can build on this now and keep that attitude going into the end of the season as well as derbies in the future.

As for not saying it with the benefit of hindsight it’s hard to believe that when you haven’t posted until after the game.

That felt like what I imagine Derbys often feel like for hearts.

We dominated them from start to finish.

Probably, although it would have been better and a lot more enjoyable/less tense if we had taken a few more of our chances and won by 2 or 3 like we deserved to.
