Shocking defending, schoolboy errors again, Jeggo not even looking around him, shocking, Fish was caught up the park.

[mcfly]

People cannot keep defending this manager. He has not solved the problem of us giving away cheap goals.

Fish was up for the attack, Jeggo was covering and lost his man, not sure he was even aware he was there

A far better second half performance, glad we went for the 3 points got punished this time though.

[NC1875]

Hanlon would get a game for anyone outside the old firm apparently.

Great servant ? Yes.

Not good enough and hasn’t been for years. The football experts will be along soon to tell us it’s not his fault though.

Honestly half the team needs emptied.

[Smartie]

Lazy from us. Keeper had the ball in hand, rolled it out to an overlap and not one Hibs midfielder or forward got across to close down the danger. All came from that.

The keeper having the ball in hand from Newell’s pitiful cross when in a good position just added to it.

Brutal goal to lose.

Can't start like that and expect anything. Mince.

[Onceinawhile]

Perhaps if Joe newell hadn't lumped an Aimless cross directly into the goalies hands, it wouldn't have happened. Full team let us down for that winner.

Brutal until 65 mins. We might have stumbled upon a system though. ALF and Doidge looked good together.

For a neutral

Alf and doidge were decent for us but a shocking 65 minutes followed by a much better 15/20

Not if this continues. It will get very ugly, very quickly. If he fully loses the fans - and I think he’s a good way down that path already - he will be unbackable because the team will be unbackable on match days.

[SlickShoes]

You can basically throw balls towards our defence almost randomly and we will make an error and gift you a chance, we had to really work for our goals, all of theirs were just shocking defensively for us. Makes you worry about playing an actual decent team on Thursday.

[Hibernian Verse]

New season same *****

Strap yersel in, its going to be another bumpy ride!

[cabbageandribs1875]

one simple ball in the box and a free header

how amateur

[Heisenberg]

Sell Campbell by the way, he’s ***** way too often. If he doesn’t score he gives us nothing which isn’t a good trait for a midfielder. Utterly horrific on the ball.

Won’t matter if he loses the fans. Mind you, if he achieves mediocrity those in charge will let him carry on until he’s forced out by a mixture of media and match day crowds.

[tonyrougier123]

Can't start like that and expect anything. Mince.

We say that far too often. His idea on how we should play and how we do play are miles apart!

[sorrow sorrow]

We could all see we needed to new full backs that can defend,still playing that 3 in midfield when it has failed miserably the past couple of seasons and starting doidge upfront after being on loan to Kilmarnock last season is absolutely criminal by the club,that is 5/6 players that shouldn’t be anywhere near our starting 11

[J-C]

2 good goals to get back into it but FFS we shouldn't be having to wait till 70 minutes to start playing against this team. Played a young inexperienced DM at RB, and expect the same midfield 3 that's been pants to suddenly start being good and who the hell coaches the defence? LJ for me still has no clue what he's doing, I have no clue what he's trying to do, what his style is and what he's trying to achieve, he just baffles me and I can't understand why he's still here.

[NC1875]

Can’t wait to hear what ***** he comes out with after that.

[Sudds_1]

How long ...and how much cash...has he had to fix our defence!!!!!!(???

[Dr_Regal]

I nearly collapsed when he got announced as MOM on Thursday. He was terrible, his only redeeming quality is getting into the box. It’s like playing with a poacher in centre midfield.

[Paulie Walnuts]

New season same *****

Agree. Im in no way surprised at the outcome today. It’s the same pish as we’ve watched under LJ last season with a starting 11 consisting of 11 players that were here last season.

[neil7908]

Crazy that we can spend close to £2m and still start with Delferriere at RB, 35 year old Stevenson at LB, Marshall at GK, Doidge up front and exactly the same midfield as last year.

We realistically need to move on 5-6 players and bring in the same number.

One positive note - doidge is looking back to bring a nuisance

Alf caused some issues when he came on too and I thought Obita got better later in the game

Third goal though, what a sickener

If we came out with a 2-2 you'd probably look at the fightback after 60 mins of ***** but we looked like the ones to get the third

Losing the goal in that manner was pathetic all in honesty

[JamesHFC]

First 45 mins was the worst I've seen in a while. I think we have looked defensively weak right through pre season. Need a kick up the back side ahead of Thursday.

[weecounty hibby]

Brutal. Probably the worst 45 mins I've ever seen from a Hibs team. All over the place, missed passes, missed tackles, pushed off the ball, no heart. I have to disagree with those saying it was a pen. Never a pen and the guy chucked himself in the air about a second after the "contact". We would see free kicker every 39 seconds if that were to be given in every challenge. The only person worse than Hibs today was the ref. We were brutal and so was he. A classic ER combination

Brilliant crowd then the team put in a performance like the away leg in Andora. Also happened numerous times last season. He just can’t seem to get the team up for games. I really have no idea about the answer cos who would we get in now. He get til September I’m guessing.

I suppose the answer might be to sign some decent players and not start with the same players that finished last season.

[Hibs90]

I couldn't tell you what the solution is. Nothing has worked.

The solution is simple.

You buy players who are better than what you have, and not persist with the same old **** season after season.

[tonyrougier123]

Johnson he’s hardly a visionary is he? Canny see past his nose let alone set us up well,always a team on the backfoot under him.

They deserved it, they outplayed us for about two thirds of the game, it was embarrassing at some points.

Losing 3 goals at home to St Mirren. Gonna be a long, hard season.

[B.H.F.C]

That’s what happens when you don’t look to improve a defence. Granted we’ve signed a couple of defenders but we appear to be happy for them to be back up. And he thinks it’s a good idea to play someone who isn’t actually a right back at right back.

[Is It On....]

How about the radical idea of using players in their best positions?

In this type of game last season when we had the reasonable run, we would have started with Jeggo in midfield. Today, we had Doyle-Hayes, Newell and Campbell, all of whom looked ****ged at various points. I thought Hanlon dealt better with the lack of protection than Fish, especially as he was on the man of the match today, Olusanya.

[Hibs90]

It starts with the manager who just isn't up to it.

He's hopeless also but once again we start a season with the same old in midfield and defence.

Failure to address once again and that's on the club.

[JammyDoidger]

Get the full backs sorted. We've spent money, might aswell spent a bit more and sort the full backs and keeper out. We are honestly so close to being a half decent outfit. So frustrating.

[Tinnitus]

How about the radical idea of using players in their best positions?

Yeah fair but it might be easier with some players for those positions. Rather than signing mostly young or average players to fill the bench. And relying on a marquee signing (or two)

[Jack Hackett]

Possibly the best run of start of season games we could have hoped for... only to be served this in the 1st game. Doesn't bode well

[NC1875]

We’re crying out for a right back and creative attacking midfielder, if we only sign 2 more players it absolutely has to be these 2 positions.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The first half was diabolical. Dragged ourselves level, only to throw it away at the death. I don't see the game-plan; what is it Johnson is trying to get his team to do? How does he want to play? I don't know.

[random sub]

You can basically throw balls towards our defence almost randomly and we will make an error and gift you a chance, we had to really work for our goals, all of theirs were just shocking defensively for us. Makes you worry about playing an actual decent team on Thursday.

The amount of balls into our box was a shocker today. They were bound to get lucky with a few accurate ones. Midfield was a defensive mess from the beginning and Boyle was a passenger today.

[ancient hibee]

I said after Thursday that the midfield couldn’t be so slack in defence or we’d catch it from St.Mirren. Who on earth did Johnson Think was going to get us the ball to play with.At one point a simple pass took four of our players out of the game.The midfield contributed more assists to St.Mirren than to us. Campbell goes down in a heap for a non existent foul and 15 seconds later the second goal goes in.Newell in plenty of space swings an awful ball into their box and 15 seconds later the third goes in.None of them can tackle a fish supper.

[HendoDelivered]

Robinson was animated as hell on the touchline all day. LJ static as ****. Moping around talking to the fourth official more than the players.

[Hiber-nation]

If every single player is a mile off the pace then the management team need to take full responsibility. To play no DM was criminal.

I'm sick fed up with him, we'll go on a bad run then a good run then back to a bad run, there's no consistency, no game plan. We only got back into it through going route 1 today and that's not the way forward.

Let's get Europe out of the road and if we're still starting games like this into next month then get shot of him.

[MacBean]

If it’s any consolation, Luzern lost to st Gallen today

[supermcginn]

Yup. His goals don’t mask it. He’s garbage if he’s not scoring.

He's such a poor footballer, he's like a man short unless he scores.

[SaulGoodman]

Stevie Mallan scored a lot of goals too.

[Real Emerald]

I’m waiting for someone to give a link to how good wee were for 10 mins. He just basically a poor manager.

There is no decent 10 minute spell that can get us out of jail today. No tactics bar lump the ball up the park, no right back, no starting new signings, same midfield from 2 years ago, centre forward we’re trying to sell off, where do you start. Totally unacceptable for all the money we’ve spent.

[greenlex]

Let’s play with a right back in the right back berth. Jeggo should be starting to protect that defence. JDH or Newall but not both.
I’d continue with Campbell in there and use Levitt further forward if he’s in there.
Youan needs telt. Boyle needs eased back.
I’ve yet to see this high press and everything we do and I mean everything is far too slow.
There’s a start to sort this mess out. Johnson is not the man to do it.

He either needs to trust Miller / megwa, or we need to recruit.

No guarantee cadden becomes back any time soon and no guarantee he comes back as strong as he was.

Even then he was a middling right back.

I like youan,by why does he need an hour before he gets into a game. So frustrating,I’d play him and Boyle tighter,going inside more often than out behind the striker as it was offering very little today with them on opposite wings.

Post match comments here..

The boys weren't well rested, Martin Boyle was too knackered to hit top speed, that's a lie he's probably telling himself because he can't take responsibility.

Brutal first half, slightly better second half but still nowhere near good enough.

Chucked it at the end. Pathetic

I’m a big Youan fan but thought he was dreadful today

Some of his "crossing" was dreadful

Abysmal for 60 minutes then good for 30. Consistency will come I'm sure. Was absolutely fuming when he shot instead of square it to Boyle for a tap in at 2-0 down though.

[raeburnhibs]

If every single player is a mile off the pace then the management team need to take full responsibility. To play no DM was criminal.

I'm sick fed up with him, we'll go on a bad run then a good run then back to a bad run, there's no consistency, no game plan. We only got back into it through going route 1 today and that's not the way forward.

Let's get Europe out of the road and if we're still starting games like this into next month then get shot of him.

we were direct at times, but neither of our very good goals were route 1 goals? I agree with everything else you state and the team selection was the biggest mistake handing them the initiative including playing Boyle who wasn't at the races, Delferriere retaining his place, the inexplicable non-use of Miller and Levitt not getting a game. We need two new starting full backs

[Davy Mac]

The constant lecturing from LJ as if its Premiership Manager, dont lecture, fxckin act on it trumpet. He looks like he couldnt care less if he applied his trade at Hibs or not, politician is his game.

Home to find out the youngest has nits. Three treatments from Tesco is £51. Such a crap day.

[Allant1981]

Haven't seen any highlights yet but was it a penalty? I couldn't tell from where I was sitting and it took VAR ages to let the ref know

Surprised it took VAR longer than 30 seconds, clear penalty

Ta, yip took them ages at the game, maybe wasn't though but felt a while

I thought it was a clear penalty at the time.

Happened right in front of me, surprised the ref didn’t give it straight away. Clear penalty.

[JohnM1875]

Completely agree. Surely they'd been looking at the incident long before play stopped? Ball was in play for what felt like an age before the VAR review.

[Crab apple]

Let’s play with a right back in the right back berth. Jeggo should be starting to protect that defence. JDH or Newall but not both.
I’d continue with Campbell in there and use Levitt further forward if he’s in there.
Youan needs telt. Boyle needs eased back.
I’ve yet to see this high press and everything we do and I mean everything is far too slow.
There’s a start to sort this mess out. Johnson is not the man to do it.

Having watched JDH and the other midfield imposters in Jack Ross' last game at Livi I'm gutted that we still persist with them. Jeggo is no world beater but he is miles better than anyone else starting today in protecting that defence. And boy does the defence need protecting. Both starting full backs were way off the pace and Hanlon bullied again by their big striker. Doidge and ALF were okay and we seem to be looking to strengthen further in attack when it's clear it's the defence and midfield that need sorted.

Because the ball needs to be dead before it is invoked. It took a while for that to happen- in fact it was possible that we could have scored at the other end first. Imagine that being called back?

Ahh,I didn't realise that, the place would have erupted if we had scored then it got chopped off, daft rule!

Surely the ball doesn't need to be dead before the VAR team are reviewing the incident though? No reason it took as long as it did

It wouldn't be a weekend without Hibs for me.


Very minimal contact for the penalty but contact is contact in today's football, Yikes what was going on in the attempt they had just before the VAR check.

2nd goal was just to easy for St Mirren, not sure if he done anymore in the game but for how good Newell has been he needs to cut out the silly fouls.

Enjoyed the first goal for us and Youan looked much better on the right side again, couple chances for Levitt which is promising but couldn't tell you how he played overall.

Very tough one to concede at the end, the players looked shattered. No communication? Fish is trying to get back into position and Jeggo has left his man wide open, didn't even look to see if anyone was there with other players looking right at it. Sick one to take.

[weecounty hibby]

I didn't think it was a penalty at the game and I still don't after watching it again. We would be stopping play every 20 to 30 seconds if that is a foul. I would have taken it if it was for us but I'd still say it's not a pen.

No it doesn’t.

Except if you are Christian Doidge, obviously [emoji1787]

Still think he had a case for a pen with the elbow on him

The problems at Hibs are endemic, there's no quick fix for this. Any manager coming in is on a hiding to nothing.
They are if they persist with Hanlon and Stevenson. They may be club legends but there's no room for sentiment, if LJ persists with those 2 he'll be gone by Autumn.Making Hanlon captain was a major mistake.

[Bushwoof]

Hanlon was our best CB by a mile yesterday, and dealt with Olusanya, who looks an excellent player, pretty well.

If there's blame to be handed out, it's to Fish for the 2nd and 3rd goals.

Can you point out the mistakes that they both made yesterday that led to our defeat.

I don't make up the rules. :agree: The delay in the announcement of VAR was play didn't stop. Could have been really controversial had we scored in the attack that followed the claim...

I'd assume VAR bunker boys Dallas and Co will have started the review in real time though...unless they have to also follow the game live till it stops. Maybe the SFA can clarify.

Levitt also for winner.

But we love a narrative in our support :wink:

“When should the referee stop play for a full review?
If an incident has been spotted, such as a red card or penalty, play will be stopped when the ball is in a neutral area. Otherwise, it will continue until the ball is dead”

So the game could have been stopped at any point for the review. The ball didn’t need to be dead

Hanlon didn’t deal with him well. The boy looks a player and gave Hanlon (and Fish) a hard time. We didn’t handle him at all.

[Crunchie]

His piss poor header at the first goal for starters, but I'd be wasting my time pointing out Hanlons mistakes to you. You yourself said last season he should only be used as back up this season, he's well past it and Johnson better learn that quickly or It'll cost him his job.

[h1bs4life]

Was there yesterday went to look at goals on bbc website https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66194774

Who puts up the highlights on there website.
It shows St Mirren snatch a dramatic point in 5 goal thriller . WTF . then when you watch it it brings up Hibs 2 St Mirren 3 FT but doesn’t show there 3rd goal amateurish at best
